Haha thanks!

You may be at the bottom of the hill, but what's the point of a team if we can't help you get to the top? You seem to be making good progress so far, keep it up!

You gonna do Mini Challenge number 3 as well?

I remember watching the Amway commercials and thinking what a big giant pyramid scheme they had going on. and losing 20lbs a month sounds like a really good way to make yourself sick :|

Have you tried this with almond or coconut flour? Your cats sound awesome, I love how you called Ebony a "tart" XD EDIT: Holy shit, congrats on 150lbs lost! That's literally a whole person, you should be so proud of yourself!

Haha! Maybe I need one :'(

The Nerd Fitness forums are set to automatically embed video URLs, haha

Aww thanks Good luck!

Looks sick! Here's a Tumblr page for newbs

I had knee pain on the outside/lower part of my left knee. I went to physical therapy (covered by insurance, woot woot) and it turns out I stressed my IT band by doing body weight squats wrong. I now highly advise against squats in the Nerd Fitness workouts. Basically the cure is to strengthen your hips these and these are what my pt had me doing daily. Just do each rep a few past being tired, and repeat them daily. I'd also recommend not doing any type of squats during this time

Thanks!~ MFP is kinda jacked because I count net carbs instead of total carbs, but I'm doing 60/30/10 split. Lifting days is <50g net carbs, every other day is <30g
