Anybody have any luck taking Cytolean? I have been on it for a couple of weeks now on the recommendation from my trainer. I am finding that I am more hungry taking this! - and not for good food either! Yikes! Still losing but struggling to get through this hunger. My diet is very high in protein, limited carbs and low fat. Supplementing with protein shakes and bars. Any suggestions????

Weighed in with the trainer today. Plateau broken - 4 lbs. lost. Finally! I was suprised because I have been sick for the past week and not working out near as much as usual. Trainer says that I am over training and stressing the body. Now that I have been forced to slow down the body is recovering and I am losing again. I’ll get some progress pics posted this weekend!

Not really back at working out again. I have been killing myself but I have been slacking and MIA on this site. I need to update my profile and get in touch with my "friends" again. Progress report - I am now down 51.5 lbs. Yeah! Everyone is commenting - LOVE that! I’m feeling great but have hit a plateau - argh! I broke down and hired a personal trainer back in December, I work with him 3 days a week. I am also doing kickboxing 2 days a week and usually cardio of some sort most other days. Looking forward to chatting with everyone again!

I am really struggling to get six meals in each day. I am so busy at work sometimes it is lunch time before I realize it. It seems like soo much food. I know I’m not getting enough calories (and sometimes the wrong kind of calories!) but it seems impossible to eat this much. I have totally hit a plateau and it sucks. I haven’t lost anything for about 4 weeks now, only the couple that I managed to put back on. I have backed off on the workouts a little but not enough to justify this plateau. The only thing I can figure is the calories. Had kickboxing tonight and a great conversation with the instructor afterwards. She says more calories….ughhhhh! She’s right, I know. This is so frustrating. I’m working my ass off but the ass isn’t going anywhere! LOL!

I suck! I did sooo well this weekend. Lots of cardio….12 miles walking in two days. Felt great then ruined it today. Absolutely did not eat "clean" today. After school event with the kid and no time for proper food. Dang and double dang!! Starting another day tomorrow. Kickboxing after work, should make it a double session! : )

Wow! This site is amazing. There is soooo much information and all the members are absolutely inspiring. My kickboxing instructor recommended this site and I am hooked! My fitness journey officially began on January 7, 2008. So far I have lost 16 pounds. It’s great but I have many more to go. I have been going to school for the past five years and have really put on the pounds. Can you say STRESS eating?!?!?! Oh well, school is done now and I have no more excuses. This is the beginning, I am just getting started. I am looking forward to taking this journey! Thanks for everyone’s support.
