I'm trying to lose a bit of weight. I've been exercising, but I have a big appetite. Is there some kind of snack or food that I can eat in excess without gaining weight?
Case closed time to stuff my face
im gonna kill u guys
Since most pork snacks are low in carbohydrates, they are an alternative snack food for those following the Atkins diet.
just think about it, look at the nutritional info on the side of the packaging. Fruits, vegetables are good, especially organic ones. Meats are good too, especially chicken breast, its high in protein and low in fat, so you will feel more full cuz of that. Also idk if u know but never eat until you're full, only eat until you're not hungry anymore. Yogurt and stuff like that are okay too, just don't have too much cuz its fairly high in fat and too much dairy is not good. a bit is ok tho. Also greek yogurt is supposed to be super good for u, so maybe try some of that, idk.

A new I-94 interchange at Drexel Ave. in Oak Creek - believed to be the first interchange added since I-94 was constructed - will be built, state Rep. Mark Honadel (R-South Milwaukee) said Wednesday.
Honadel said a Wisconsin Department of Transportation official told him Wednesday that the department will soon begin the process of acquiring land that will be needed for the interchange, which would be built in 2012.
"I am just stoked up to no end because it's going to be good for the region," he said. "The potential is awesome."
The DOT had said that if half the cost of the interchange would be covered by local money, it would add the interchange to its massive I-94 North-South Freeway Project. The City of Oak Creek, which is contributing the bulk of the local money, and Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, which has a large office complex in neighboring Franklin, had already pledged funds.
Then on Saturday, the Franklin Common Council committed the final $500,000 that was needed for the interchange and related work on S. 27th St.
DOT spokesman Reggie Newson confirmed Wednesday that the DOT has added the Drexel interchange to its I-94 work plan and confirmed that construction is planned for 2012.
The DOT estimates the total cost at $12.9 million.
Honadel said he concurred with state Rep. Jeff Stone (R-Greendale), who represents Franklin, that the interchange could lead to billions of dollars in business development. He said the potential exists for one employer alone to bring 1,000 jobs to the area.
"You just don't get an interchange every day of the week," Honadel said. "Every developer will tell you that it's the gold mine for development - access."

Neighborhoods: West Austin, General West Austin
Blink and you'll miss it. Tucked away business offices and a bank in the posh Tarrytown neighbor, this affordable, walk-in nail salon is where the ladies who lunch come to get polished to perfection. The people watching alone is worth a visit and you'll leave with pretty nails and toes to boot with enough change left over to grab some lunch.
Hope they straighten up! – I've been going to Tarrytown Nails for years and I have always had good experiences, but recently....twice in a row now....I have had some not so great experiences. One morning, a new employee cut my skin repeatedly while attempting to carry on a conversation with other employees while cutting, filing my nails. Today, the woman doing my nails was so busy with her conversation with her friend next to her that she took double the usual time to do my nails.
I hope they read these reviews so that they can make sure they maintain their reputation. I'd hate to have to find another nail place after having been so pleased with them these past years.

it's so clear
Nokia from bad to worse
We round-up all Nokia mobile phones currently available in Australia, headed by the flagship, Symbian-powered Nokia N8.
The Nokia E63 is a cut-price version of the E71. It lacks HSDPA-connectivity and built-in GPS but retains much of the Nokia E71's design, including a full QWERTY keyboard. If you're on a budget and can live without super-fast mobile Internet speeds then it is definitely worth a look.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I have to reset my internet connection often to get it to work. When it does work, it's definitely slower than when I'm on my Windows installation. My computer uses an RTL8188CE wireless card from Realtek. I'm running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.10. Power management is not on. I've read on other sites that some people fixed the issue pertaining to this wireless card by downloading and installing the drivers from the Realtek site, but it seems as if that only helped people with 32-bit installations. Anyone have any luck with this specific wireless card?
Take the 2-minute tour ×

Putting this into
then restart, fixed it for me.
I had very poor speed with the RTL8188CE until i disabled hardware crypto:
Note: 'swenc=1' means software encoding (default is to use hardware-based).
This sped things up significantly (wget I had running at the time went from 5.83KB/s to 812KB/s upon reconnect after reloading module with swenc=1).
If it works for you, add swenc=1 to the relevant module conf file as an option (for persistence after reboot/module-reload).

Breast Cancer - Male - Side Effects
Cancer and its treatment can cause a variety of side effects. However, doctors have made major strides in recent years in reducing pain, nausea and vomiting, infection, fatigue, and other physical side effects of cancer treatments. Many treatments used today are less intensive but as effective as treatments used in the past. Doctors and nurses also have many ways to provide relief to patients when such side effects do occur.
Fear of treatment side effects is common after a diagnosis of cancer, but it may be helpful to know that preventing and controlling side effects is a major focus of your health care team. Before treatment begins, talk with your doctor about possible side effects of the specific treatments you will be receiving. The specific side effects that can occur depend on a variety of factors, including the type of cancer, its location, the individual treatment plan (including the length and dosage of treatment), and the person's overall health.
Ask your doctor which side effects are most likely to happen (and which are not), which need to be reported right away, when side effects are likely to occur, and how they will be addressed by the health care team if they do happen. Also, be sure to communicate with the doctor and nurses about side effects you experience during and after treatment. Learn more about the most common side effects of cancer and different treatments, along with ways to prevent or control them [2]
In addition to physical side effects, you may experience psychosocial (emotional and social) effects as well. Learn more about the importance of addressing such needs [3], including concerns about managing the cost of your medical care [4].
Learn more about late effects or long-term side effects by reading the After Treatment [5] section or talking with your doctor.

I'm having one hell of a problem and could really use anyone's help who has a good idea.
I am working in flash CS5 on windows 7 64.
I am currently also running into the crash at save problem. The most recent version of my .fla corrupted about four days ago, which is something I've grown accustomed to (got the wonderful 'unexpected file format' error). So I went to my backup file- same issue. I had to go back 12 backup versions to find one that would work (even my backups on external drives when copied back over to the local drive or opened from the external would give this error. They did NOT give this error a week ago). But this backup version now crashes on Save, Save As, or if I try to create a new .fla while the backup .fla is open, it crashes. If I try to open any other .fla while the backup .fla is open, flash crashes. Sometimes is gets non responsive and needs to close; sometimes it simply sits there, does nothing, SAYS it's running, but will not respond to clicks, minimizing the window, or anything at all and I will have to force quit out. Sometimes it will crash when simply clicking a library item.
I have tried the following recommended fixes:
save the file to a new directory- on the rare chance that flash doesn't crash on save (about 1 in 10), and doesn't corrupt and make a new .fla that's 2k in size (about 1 in 4), the new .fla has all the same problems of the original.
change the JAVA environment variable- no help
increase the jvm.ini xmx value - tried 124. 256, 512, no help
open the file using zip and access the xml library assets directly, deleting them until you find a corrupt file- done it. three times. to three different versions of the .fla from the backup files. Flash still crashes.
save out as .xfl - on the rare chance that flash doesn't crash on save, the .xfl is corrupted (2k file size, no library, and for some reason a black square for an icon) about 3 out of 4 times. The 4th time, the file works no better than any other .fla
update flash player - no help.
update plugins for all browsers and debug versions - no help
update flash CS5 to the most recent version - no help
download and install all windows updates - no help
delete preferences and config folders - no help
The ONLY way I can avoid flash crashing is to go back to a backup version from more than two months ago. This version will open, save properly, and debug properly without error.
I have attempted and failed at every suggested fix I have found online or on these forums for this cluster of problems I'm currently having. I have three weeks to the project deadline, and there is no way I can go back two months in the production timeline.
obviously I cannot afford to lose two months of work. If anyone has any idea what could be happening, I would be exstatic- I'm really at the end of my rope here. After four days of looking for help and fixes online and on these forums and talking to adobe support on the phone ('we do not handle coding issues' is the only response I get. gee, thanks for the help), none of the fixes that have been recommended to me have worked.
Can you please zip up your the fla that you're crashing on save, change .zip to .zzz and email it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com? I'll take a look.
Flash Pro, QE
I would love to, but the .fla is over 120megs and as such I don't think it will be possible to email it to you. Is there some other way I could get you the fla?
Sorry to hear you're having this issue but having used every single version of flash since well before it supported scripting I can't say I've ever seen this issue happen a single time.
Your computer specs would be useful. As much information as possible. So far, not being *Q (an Adobe Employee?), I'd expect your system is the issue. I keep mine clean as a whistle and in both Windows 98/2K/XP/Vista/7 and Mac OSX I've never seen this kind of issue in any version (and I own several copies of all of them).
BELIEVE ME, using AS2 is an exercise in patience. I've seen AS2 arrest me more times than Gary Busey with just outright blatent bugginess. But SAVE file corruption? Never. So I wonder 3 things. What anti-virus/malware/spyware apps you run if you're infected, if your hard drive is just outright corrupting things (driver or hardware failure related) and if you're trying to save files over a network (especially to a different OS). I've purchased about 750 hard drives in my life and I've seen 250 of them ride the failboat. I've also seen corrupted files when saving over networks (which Adobe clearly states is not supported, regardless that it works and I do it anyhow).
Wow, your file is really big. You should try optimizing it or splitting it into multiple flas. I believe you are probably hitting the memory limit which causes the crash and/or performance issues.
System specs will help determine if that's outside the memory limit. For instance you'd literally need to be at 1GB memory with no pagefile to fail to export that file which is highly unlikely, but impossible to know until you tell us your computers specs.
I've exported 700MB FLAs without any issue at all on 4GB ram. It's not a good idea to inflate your FLA like that but there's no problem with exporting any size FLA with reasonable computer specs.
You can trim a lot of that space by loading your videos/images/audio externally rather than importing it all to the library. I certainly presume a 120MB FLA is meant for desktop/kiosk/etc playback rather than web. Almost nobody that isn't sporting a 20mbit line would wait around for 120mb to preload.
Thanks for replying,
I'm using ad-aware and avg for virus scanning, but it's possible I need to upgrade to something more robust. I've run several checks over the last few days on the whole system, and nothing pops up.
I'm saving to the local drive, not over a network, so that's a non-issue.
I'll run a full system analysis to check the hard drive for errors and double check my drivers, but I usually run those checks about once every two weeks so as far as I know everything is currently in good shape.
I'm not upset that the file corrupted, this is something I've become used to working with flash and why I backup at least once a day and to both local and external drives. The fact that my BACKUPS are corrupted is what's got me confuddled. But I'll double check your suggestions and get back to you.
I'll try to split it up, but considering I can't save, save as, or even interact with the library, I'm not sure quite how to go about it. Are you suggesting I zip the fla, go into the library xml asset list and see if I can break it apart from there?
Is there another way to do it? Also if it's a performance and memory limit issue, why is this only happening now and not on previous versions of the fla that were working normally? Up until four days ago besides the occasional 'cannot debug does not contain actionscript' error, I managed to export and debug these same fla's that are now crashing the program without any problems. In fact flash has become less stable for me since I updated the software- was the memory limit somehow changed in the update? That's the big question I have: Why does an fla that opened, saved, and exported perfectly fine a week ago now crash flash when I have made zero changes to it?
I'll try to break the fla apart into smaller more bite-sized pieces and see if that resolves any of the problems in the meantime. I assume there is no way besides email to send you my file?
Disable all your mal/spyware apps and disable AVG temporarily while you save or open and see if it helps. Those programs job is to intercept every file access and check it which can certainly corrupt something if done poorly. As good as AVG is, you get what you pay for, and it's free.
No version has this 'corruption' issue. Not in the last decade. I've used Flash 2 until CS5.5 extensively and never saw this issue.
How much RAM do you have? Also are you saving to a SSD or perhaps a RAID? If not a SSD or RAID you've an overachiever in checking your drivers as they typically never change and/or are Microsoft to begin with so I doubt that's the issue. Although if you've installed the wrong drivers for your motherboard chipset that'll definitely ruin your day but the problem would definitely exist outside flash (like your whole OS).
sorry I just saw your earlier post, and I was leaning towards a memory limit issue but your input makes me think that's not the case.
My crash issue has become less frequent since playing around with salvaging my asset files today, but it's still freezing and crashing out on me at least once every 15 minutes.
Sorry for not mentioning my specs:
I'm currently working on a Toshiba Qosmio X505 Windows 7 64bit SP1, i5 firstname.lastname@example.com, 4gigs ram.
I tried your suggestion of disabling my malware/spyware and avg but it hasn't made a difference. I also ran a complete system check, checking for errors, defrag, two more virus checks with everything updated and nothing.
I went ahead and managed to pull out my assets in smaller chunks and resave them to new fla's in different directories simply for the sake of not losing them (if flash is constantly crashing, i'm worried about losing my files to corruption or whatever it is that's killing my files off).
I have managed to get a backup fla from about twelve days ago to open and not crash when editing it but now I can't export an swf, test, or debug. export and test give me, well, nothing (except for a completely blank report file), and debug gives me the always delightful "does not contain actionscript" issue (as well as freezing and crashing flash if I try to do anything after getting the 'does not contain actionscript' window). I guess this is an improvement? This exact file was exporting fine two weeks ago and I have not touched the file since then but now it simply does not export. I have no idea what's going on.
update on the issue-
after playing around I've discovered that, as long as I don't open a file larger than about 50 megs, I can avoid all of flash's recent crashing (which confuses me, since last week I could open 200megs worth of files without any issue).
If I open an .fla at 52megs, than try to open another as small as 2 megs, i get the error 'flash cannot open c:/.....file.fla'. Only by closing the 52meg fla can I then open the 2meg fla.
I went through and gutted my large fla into small pieces, none larger than 15megs (relatively small). Then, when attempting to reconstruct a new master fla by copy and pasting the files from the smaller piece flas, after I hit about 60 meg file size in the new fresh master (in a new location, new structure etc.), I attempted to copy and paste another cluster of approx. 15 symbols, and received an error saying there was not enough memory to perform the action.
So! It would seem, for some reason, flash has become a lot dumber since last week. Is there any way that updating the flash player/flash CS5 could lead to this behavior? Is there any way that a recent windows update could somehow have created this behavior? I know these are big 'ifs', I'm just curious why flash CS5 seems unable to perform the tasks that it was performing last week.
(i'm not a super computer saavy user, but for what its worth my current settings are as follows regarding memory usage)
system runs 4gigs of RAM
my fml.ini is set to xmx512
environment variable for JAVA is at 1024 (although both 1024 and 512 produce the exact same reaction when running flash)
paging initial is 6030;
paging max is 12000;
another update-
I've managed to reconstruct a file from my original corrupted file that will open and is editable (as long as i don't click through the library items too fast- that will freeze and crash flash). This file is less than 50 megs.
When attempting to publish, export, or test in conjunction with the document .as associated with the file however I end up with either A: no swf produced and an empty report, or B: a 2k swf with a black square for an icon.
debug produces the 'does not contain actionscript' error.
upon failing to publish, export, test, or debug, flash will then either A: freeze B:freeze, then crash, or (my personal favorite) C: continue to function so long as I don't click on any library items, try to open a new file, try to open an old file, try to save, try to save as, try to exit the program, or try to close a file from the window (all of these result in freezing, crashing, or freezing and then crashing. There is no apparent pattern to what happens). Also, clicking back and forth between the properties and library panels in the fla file or the as file will, well, sort of overlay the two panels halfway on top of each other and sort of 'ghost' parts of one onto the other. What I mean is, if the library panel is open and I click over to the properties panel (both are tabs in the same window of the workspace), the properties panel will be completely gray without any of it's usual boxes or text or button, and instead will have the names of some of the previous library items, greyed out, floating in random places that don't directly relate to where they were before. Basically, it's all messed up. And at this point the program will either freeze, crash, freeze and crash, or become completely unresponsive and require a force quit (surprise!).
If I gut the fla down to an even smaller size of about 10-20megs, I can avoid most of these problems, although flash is still very slow to open files (20meg file takes a good 90-120 seconds to open), save files (at least 30 seconds to save a 20meg), and generally clicking around and going about my business of editing symbols or typing script is laggy and slow. This of course doesn't really do me much good, since it requires me to gut 80% of my projects assets.
I can't tell if i'm getting closer or further away from a solution.......
I think the amount of time you've already invested in this warrants a complete reinstall of flash itself. If no other application (say photoshop, etc) has any issues with opening large files (if you don't have one, make one) then something got corrupted in Flash.
Are you working from a Creative Suite or do you just have Flash as a separate product? Either way I honestly would get rid of that copy of Flash (uninstall) and reinstall it. Clearly something is very corrupt in it. Flash CS5 would never behave like this and you have PLENTY sufficient RAM. You do not at all need to adjust any variables in java or any ini files at all.
Consider reinstalling Flash and see if the problems just go away. I can tell you the people in your boat are very few.
thanks for the reply sinious, I was afraid of that.
I have the creative suite, but PS is working fine even with huge files. Unfortunately my cs5 is an upgrade I did a long time ago from an old copy of cs3, so I'm going to have to go find a way to dig up CS5 so I can reinstall it after I remove it. To my knowledge there's no way to download cs5 from adobe. I will be royally pissed if i'm forced to buy it again, but i'll take another look, maybe call them, and see what I can do.
Thanks again for the help, let me know if anything else comes to you.
If you purchased it through the Adobe store they will give you a link to re-download it. Simply contact them and they'll ask you for the relevant information. Be ready with an order date and an order ID and it should be tied to whatever email your Adobe ID was that purchased it and you'll have no problem. I've done that before. If it wasn't so damn big I'd just put CS5 on a server for you but I know the store will help. No you do not need to repurchase it if you can provide them with a valid key.
It's not a big deal to reinstall CS5. For the amount of trouble you're going through would you rather base your workflow around a corrupt installations whimsy needs or just reinstall and have no more issues?
I called adobe (four times at three different numbers) and they all say that there's no way to download CS5 because they don't offer it for download anymore and I needed to pay for 5.5, even though I have a valid key.
I went ahead and uninstalled, did some heavy housekeeping on my computer (anything I could think of: directory cleanup, defrag, uninstall any non-essential programs, check the drive for errors etc etc), and reinstalled with the trial version of CS5.5 (there's no point to pay for software without knowing first if it will even be usable for me).
So far, 5.5 provides none of the zany crashes that I was getting in my old install of CS5, so that's a start at least. However now i'm running into a nice new problem when attempting to open my old backup fla:
"XML parsing fatal error: an exception has occurred! Type:Runtime exception Message:The primary document entity could not be opened. Id=C:/users......AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FlashCS5.5\en_us\Configuration \Actionscript3.0\FlexInfo.xml, line: 0 file: "
The funny thing is, the file actually opens! but flash becomes very jumpy and slow at this point and suffice to say I don't want to push it any further since i'm actually getting SOME functionality I can use out of the program currently (suffice to say I'm gun shy on toying too much with it and getting another possessed version of the software).
Regardless, it would seem my crashing issue has been fixed (despite my all-new issues), so it would seem you were right about the reinstall. I'm not feeling completely confident the program isn't going to crash on me at any second quite yet, but at least it's running enough for me to poke around in some of my backup files.
Send me a private message with your email. I'll provide you with a CS5 trial installer.
Hi all,
CS5.5 crashed my files much more often than my CS5 install.
aparently CS5 likes to corrupt the DOMdocument inside the .FLA's archive.
even windows will not recognise or extract the corrupt DOMdocument. All other files work fine though. (some users believe it saves an invalid character such as a shift-enter character into the DOMdocument somehow.\)
Rename the .FLA to .zip and try to open the DOMdocument in the root directory. This is the only file that seems to currupt.
I personally believe it happens most when you are saving a file over the network and the connection is interrupted somehow while saving the file.
I am guessing the DOMdocument is updated as it saves each of the other parts of the file.
Here's the really freaky part Adobe, pay attention to this one:
if you make a file, and save it once as MyFile1 (last updated at 2pm)... then copy and paste that file (duplicate it) into a 'backup folder' MyFile1 (last updated 2pm)
then do some updates and save it again... MyFile1 (last updated at 3pm) and duplicate it into the backup folder too.
in between now and 4pm you close Flash and refresh it, re-open your 3pm file. It opens fine and you continue coding...
If at 4pm you save, and the save crashes corrupting the file, both the 3pm backup duplicate and the original file will be corrupted at the same time.
The only file that will work again now is the 2pm backup.
here's some information on how you can go about repairing the file, but you will not get the Timeline (DOMdocument recovered):

I'm interested in knowing how others are doing/ feeling in their week 5. I started at about 143 lbs (I'm 5'9). I wear/ wore a size 8-10 in jeans.
So far, (and I have never measured myself or anything), I have A pair of pants that is noticeably looser, but for the most part, everything feels the same. I get compliments on my arms once in a while (from my hubby) and I am usually sore. I'm finding it mentally harder to stay on track and I'm wanting to cheat more and more. I still don't have any energy, which worries me, because I hear that weeks six and seven usually drain you. The only supplement I use is whey protein (2- 3x a day). I usually just eat chkn ***, lean ground turkey burgers and a little whole wheat bread, yogurt, and sometimes NY choice cut steak. Mentally I just wonder if I will see any difference at all within the next few weeks, apparently the big changes start around 8 weeks for women. We shall see in a few weeks, How is everyone else doing in week 5?
Stacy Lynn
Hey, Stacy. I'm a few days shy of week 5 and honestly I'm not seeing any major changes @ this point but I'm feeling pretty good. The past few days have been mentally challenging and I think that's b/c it's getting close to that time of month.. sorry guys.. and that's when I notice an increase in my desire for carbs. So, I just keep reminding myself of my goals and stay focused. I believe we'll both see the "8 week miracle" b/c from the hundreds of stories I've read, a lot of people have experienced the same thing we are going through right now. I feel like I should be seeing some pretty big changes after nearly 5 weeks of intense cardio & weight training on top of eating so clean, but I'm being patient with this. I committed to stick to this program and give it a shot so I'm keeping that promise to myself. I usually lose weight in my upper body first and I have noticed some fat loss in the chest :-( and stomach :-) but I've also put on a solid 1.5 pounds. On the energy part, just make sure you're eating a protein and carb at each meal. My meals look something like this:
*3-4 egg whites, 1 slice of ezekiel or genesis sprouted grain toast, 2 tsp of blackberry jelly, black coffee, water
*EAS Lite RTD, water
*3 ounces of deli turkey or chicken *** on 1 orrowheat sandwich round (the slices are ultra thin- so when I say one round that ='s 2 slices), green leaf lettuce, 1 slice of reduced fat swiss cheese, water before and after
*3-4 ounces of fish or chicken w/ 1/3-1/2 c of brown rice, quinoa, black beans OR sweet potato (those are my favorite carbs), 1 cup of broccoli or green beans
*Advantedge Edge Strawberry RTD, blend with ice and 2-3 strawberries (the edge drink is very low carb so that's why I add the strawberries- it's just like a strawberry icecream shake!!)
Oh, my starting weight was 130 and I'm now @ 132 and have been for a couple of weeks, however, I've noticed my jeans are looser in the waist :-) I'm sticking to body fat%. I'm really not concerned with scale weight.
Hope this helps..
~Let every opposition strengthen you, not stop you~
And I'm also a size 8-10
Stacy-remember the changes are occuring on the inside first; do you remember the post of the Paper Towel Theory? Big Al vs. Ed...
I didn't see major changes til after week 8 or 9 so you have to have patience and you gotta BELIEVE!
I would suggest you do measurements TODAY to mark the differences there for extra motivation. I measure my neck, bicep, chest, abs, waist, hips, thighs, and calves. First challenge + 2wks AR I was -25# and -20 inches...if I would have stopped at week 5 or 7 or whenever I would not be where I am today. So Please keep pushing forward. Are you adding veggies to your meals, are you still drinking your water and staying away from those energy drinks?? YOU CAN DO THIS!! :)
Andra-I like your idea for the strawberry shake, I get those low carb ones all the time and I have strawberries in the fridge so will try one tonight for last meal. Strawberry shakes are my favorite!!!!! :)
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
Stacy - I feel your concern. I re-read my journal entries and how I was feeling in week 5. Like you I saw "some" improvements, but not what I wanted. But thanks to all the measurement's I've taken, I've come to accept ANY improvement is a good thing. So some quick stats. I'm 5'6" Male, and I started at 210.6, Size 38 loose and blood pressure about 136/100.
So now in week seven I still haven't changed my height, my weight is 202.0, size 34 tight with muffin tops! and get this blood pressure is 120/80!!!
So yes I'm not where I want to be, but this challenge isn't done yet. I broke this challenge down to 3 parts. Weeks 1-4 was just to do it and get something on record. Weeks 5-8 is to improve on what's on record and finally weeks 9-12 are going to test me and see what I've got.
Now I weigh myself constantly take my morning weight and goodnight weight, and although I want it to drop quicker, it doesn't bother me as much now because there is a range. I fluctuate 1-3 pounds daily and now I have totally said good-bye to 205 and above. I guess that's the hardest thing. It's hard to say good-bye and it's a challenge to say hello.
So it's good bye 205 and I right now am striving to say hello to 199. But at the same time I am striving to say hello to Waist 32, hello to 120/80 wait I achieved that -so welcome 120over 80, good bye to muffin tops and good-bye/hello to Day 46 and Day 47 respectively.
What I am starting to learn and feel (heard all the words before but never truly FELT them) is to just take one day at a time, give it my best and then we'll accept whatever happens after 12 weeks, because I will know I gave it my best.
And heck after Challenge 1 is done I already know what I am going to do. Probably take the rest of the summer off, goof off and go jet skiing, mountain biking, get back to distance running, etc and then come August I'm gonna start Challenge 2. For what I've learned from others is this isn't some quick fix. Like the program says, it's For life...and yup I welcome this and everyone else on this site and doing the challenge into my life.
Oh one thing on the tiredness. You're tired because you are exhausting a lot of mental energy as well. Between life's obligations and this program with the meals, scheduling, work out's etc. Yes it does drain you. So on your free day, think of it more than just "free food" or whatever, this is a great day to just relax you mental muscle as well. It needs a breather break. Look for "low impact" brain activity on this day!
Thanks for listening....thanks for sharing....hope this helps!
~Marqui D. C1W7D46
Oh Andra
I like the AdvantEdge Shakes as well. I wish I could find the strawberry ones, but usually they just have the vanilla and choc flavors. Strawberries seem to be onsale everywhere so usually I'll just cut up two strawberries and eat those with the shake.
Here is my week 5 journal entry. I was very much in the same place as you are. Week 5 was by far the hardest week for me!
"I am not going to lie. I feel this week has been a disaster! I have struggled to my eating plan and I have not given 100% on my workouts. I don't know what's up. I really think this is when my body is predisposed to quit. This is when I give up and go back to just plain old cradio every other time. So the purpose of this entry is to talk myself into sticking with it. I could use some encouragement right now.
Okay, so last week I took measurements so I know I am making progress. But I still feel fat! My clothes fit a bit better but they are still a size bigger than I normally wear. I can't fit into my old jeans yet. :( I know I could just starve and cardio myself into them faster than this program but I still wouldn't be happy. I am starting to get stronger and am showing definition in my arms (just a little but I like the curves from the muscles!). And most of all is my butt! I've always had a flat shapless butt and I can physically see it lifting and shaping. That was the biggest difference from week 1 to week 4.
I have a 1/2 day so I am going to go home, walk the dog and then hit my UB workout full force! I do plan to stick with this. My fear is June will arrive and I will not have got the results I am looking for and it will be too late to starve and cardio myself back for summer. But I've seen the results on others so I guess if I don't it'll be my fault for not giving 100%.
So basically week 5 has not been a total loss. I did get my workouts in even if they were not to the intensity as the prior weeks. And I didn't eat that poorly but I did indulged in some sugary snacks at the office. I'm going to keep plugging away and trust this is going to work!"
I feel like you ripped a page out of my journal- This is EXACTLY what I'm going through. I feel like I am just going through the motions at this point and trying to get my head in the right place every day. Only my arms show real difference, the rest... well.... hopefully is coming.
Marqui- I loved what you wrote- it truly sounded like an inspiration letter straight from the book! I'm rooting for you!
Debbie- lolol!! yes- I save the energy drinks for free days only now! :)
This is very helpful to me as well. I'm nearing the end of my fifth week and this week alone i've had people at church to ask if i was feeling well cause "i looked exhausted" and took a nap another day cause i've been so drained. i've been trying to figure out what i've been doing wrong but now i see this is just a phase that is normal. Thanks.
I would like to offer my perspective.... Each change even the little ones are like puzzle pieces. As you gather youll see the whole puzzle. At first with just those few pieces its hard to tell what the puzzle is. Each week they will add up and before you know it youll have all the pieces. I think this plan is like a snowball effect but in reverse. it will take time but once you gain momentum nothing will stop you. Stay positive and driven focused. I know its discourageing.....But you will see. Positive thinking will help your drive. otherwise you feel like giving up which you dont want to do. You can absolutely do this and you will do this. Just keep reminding yourself of this and keep your futurevision of yourself in your mind....
I just started week 5 yesterday - I see slight changes but not as much as I thought I would by now. I know I am doing it a much healthier way than I have in the past but the weight is coming of so much slower. I actually did take pictures yesterday to compare and things are tightening up here and there but I have a LONG way to go and was a bit dissappointed that it still shocked me how big I got.
LL- Same here. I took pics a couple days ago- I am on Transformation.com as Stacy 815. Yu can post your pics there. I see some minimal changes, but changes none the less. Thats good, right??
Ugh, I hear you about the low energy. I feel like I'm dragging and have no energy for anything extra. I'm following the program exactly and am getting plenty of food and supplements. I didn't know that weeks six and seven are like that for others. I'm just starting week six, so that's good to know. Week five was really hard for me, but I got through it hoping that I'd start feeling increased energy soon....I'm tired of waiting. I'm starting to see some physical changes, but most of my changes are internal. At this point the most important thing is my energy level. I just want to feel good.
Hi Stacy! I am one inch taller than you and 100lbs heavier. I haven't weighed 140's since probably 5th or 6th grade? This is not a pity party of one, just putting in perspective that there aren't a lot of fat layers for you to shed. They say "don't look at the numbers on the scale to judge your progress". Well it isn't just an emotional suggestion, it is also practical. My guess is that you will gain muscle more than lose fat overall because there isn't that much fat to get rid of! Man, its a good place to be where you are. You may not get instant gratification from dropping a ton of fat, but in 12 weeks I am sure you will look smokin'. People with a body like mine will see changes dramatically and quickly in comparison, but only because fat is "fluffy" and muscle is dense:you gain or lose fat quicker than you gain or lose muscle. I think that's what the "8wk miracle" is all about, and it might be slightly tiring to have new big strong muscles burning your calories. So stick it out :-D and keep getting those healthy meals in because your body is on the verge of burning some serious fuel!

AUGUSTA – As lawmakers finished the job of closing a $153 million state budget gap last week, partisan tensions deepened over a key piece of the next two-year budget: Gov. Paul LePage's plan for paying hospital debt with money from a new state liquor contract.
Sparking the debate was an announcement Wednesday by Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington that it was cutting 35 to 40 jobs, mostly through layoffs.
President and CEO Rebecca Ryder said the move was prompted by a 13 percent decline in revenue, driven by several factors, such as fewer patients, more spending on charitable care and reduced government funding.
Ryder said those factors were compounded by a $15.4 million debt the state owes the hospital for care under the MaineCare program, the state's version of Medicaid.
The Maine Republican Party pounced on the hospital's announcement Thursday, blasting Democrats, who control the Legislature, for not scheduling hearings on LePage's hospital debt plan, which was introduced Jan. 15.
"It's very clear that the new Democratic majority is either lacking leadership or putting politics before good public policy," Republican Chairman Richard Cebra said in a written statement.
House Minority Leader Ken Fredette, R-Newport, likewise criticized Democratic inaction on LePage's plan in a television interview Friday.
Sen. John Tuttle, D-Sanford, chairman of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, which will hold hearings on LePage's plan, said in an interview Friday that there's no partisan delay. He said he agrees with the governor's concept and, "Republicans know I'm nonpartisan to a fault."
The committee has since scheduled a hearing March 11 on the governor's plan and on several bills on related topics, according to House Democrats.
"It's fair to the public if you have bills on two, three, four issues, you have the hearings on the same day," Tuttle said. "I've always done things in a fair manner, and I assure you I'm going to do that here."
The partisan tensions underscore the stakes in the hospital proposal and foreshadow the debates that lie ahead as lawmakers shoulder the task of forging a new state budget.
Maine hospitals are owed $484 million in MaineCare debt. If the state paid its $186 million share, it would unlock $298 million in federal funds to fully pay down the debt. That's been a top priority of LePage since his 2010 campaign for office.
But Democrats have been noncommittal toward his proposal to pay the debt with the proceeds of a new contract for the exclusive right to wholesale liquor in Maine.
LePage wants the state to control the proceeds from liquor sales, with "a private-sector person to provide administration, trade marketing and distribution and warehousing activities."
On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall, D-Richmond, introduced a bill that would get the state out of the liquor business entirely and establish payment systems for private bidders. No liquor money would be allocated to any programs – including hospital debt.
LePage argues that paying off the hospital debt is an obligation the state should meet, as well as a good economic development move. He said hospitals would use the money to provide jobs through new construction, renovations, expansions or other capital investments.
Ryder, the Farmington hospital CEO, said in an interview Friday that having the $15.4 million owed by the state would not have prevented the layoffs, because a decline in patient volume of some 6 percent to 7 percent effectively dictated a reduction in staffing.
However, she said, if the state paid off its MaineCare debt, the hospital would have cash to pay bills and make capital improvements, like buying new medical equipment and upgrading facilities.

This fundraiser closed 3 months ago
In 2012, only 14% African American males graduated from San Francisco district high schools with the requisite credits to even apply to a California State University. African American and Latino students in Richmond average nearly the lowest test scores among all California school districts. And, in San Jose over 2,000 kids in grades 6 – 12 dropout of school every year. Yet, we know it doesn't have to be that way.
Teach For America works in partnership with the community to help end educational inequity in the Bay Area. Teach For America recruits and develops a diverse corps of outstanding recent college graduates and professionals, called corps members, who commit to teach in high-need schools for at least two years. Our current Bay Area corps reaches more than 30,000 students in Richmond, Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose. They work with others in their community to ensure that they have the opportunities they deserve, in school and in life. Armed with a firsthand understanding of what it takes to help students fulfill their true potential, following their two year commitment corps members become alumni who continue to lead and support critical efforts to end educational inequity.
San Francisco's Everett Middle School – where just over 40% of the faculty are Teach For America corps members or alumni – made the largest jump in state test scores of all of San Francisco Unified School District last year. Across the Bay in Oakland, Teach For America alumna I'Asha Warfield was recently named California Teacher of the Year and is now in the running for National Teacher of the Year. Teach For America is channeling the talent of a generation toward eliminating educational inequity in the Bay Area.
In the Fall of 2013, Teach For America will be welcoming an incoming corps of more than 200 leaders to schools in Richmond, San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. For this to happen, we need your help. The goal of
Challenge for Tomorrow's Leaders
is to raise $250,000 to help Teach For America recruit, train, and provide ongoing support for at least 50 of these incoming teachers. With your generosity we have the potential to fundamentally change the academic trajectories of 4,000 students in the Bay next year alone, and continue to be a critical source of talented leadership for schools and communities. Help us ensure that all kids in the Bay Area have access to a great education – spread the word and join the Challenge for Tomorrow's Leaders.

Comments On Aug 30, 2013:Just the right size for a few odds and ends but doesn't get in the way. I have this on a KTM 990 Adventure. I like how the map pocket is built in with mesh below it to separate it from the rest of the bag. Always had issues with condensation in wet weather in the map pocket of other bags, this design fixes that. Also is just the right size for my Nexus tablet which I use as a GPS sometimes.

All seeds are naturally gluten-free, say SELF contributing experts Stephanie Clarke, R.D., and Willow Jarosh, R.D. Gluten is a portion of a protein found in certain grains like wheat. Some marketers may be trying to capitalize on the popularity of no-gluten diets for weight loss (which don't necessarily work, BTW).
Bottom Line: Don't mistake gluten-free for diet-friendly: The term doesn't mean seeds—or any food—are less fattening.

University of Mississippi is looking for a new on-field mascot and they have their eye on Admiral Ackbar. While some fans think it might be "a trap," students are very serious in their quest to replace their old mascot Colonel Reb with the beloved Mon Calamari.
According to the site urging for his promotion — Notatrap.org:
We here at Notatrap are in full support of Admiral Ackbar for the new Mascot for the Ole Miss Rebels. Who wants a Colonel when you could have an Admiral?
There's also a flyer to download in case you want to show your support.
