Gruss, I think my diet was just horrible for so long, the double whammy of moderation and good cardio just melted it off. The 1st 2 weeks was 16 lbs, then it tapered off a bit. The best help was having someone to compete with, the motivation was outstanding =) I probably lost some muscle, but my calves are huge now, lol.

That's cool! I heard Wii is coming out with "WiiFit" which will be some type of exercise thing which, I'm sure, will be inferior to DDR. BTW - with losing that much weight in 8 weeks are you sure it was all fat? That sounds pretty fast. For me I found that, if I wanted to keep muscle, I had to adjust my expectation to about 3-4 lbs per week MAX. That was around a 2500 kCal high fat/high protein/low carb diet. I even find that if I do it exactly right I can lose fat but gain muscle. The trick to keep my body from eating my lean muscle was to take BCAAs in the morning and afternoon (my protein shakes have ON pro-complex which has it too). Before I started doing that I'd lose fat, but muscle too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:240755 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
