My first wife died in an accident in 2006 and I have remarried and have 5 wonderful children ages 4-10 that keep me so busy, but I won't let that get in my way to achieve my goals.

I have always been a bit on the heavy side. Probably somewhere around 25-30% bodyfat. I really let myself go and hit 253 in December of 2008. I decided it was time to really get in shape so I decided I was going to start bodybuilding with the hopes of competing someday. I stumbled upon the spike diet while visiting bodybuilding.com and have never looked back. A year and a half later May/2010 I am still at it. I have made great progress, read everything in sight trying to learn, and I will not give up until I reach my goal. I am down 47lbs and have about 20 more to go.

Eating more meals a day does not increase metabolism
I think you will find if you up your protein intake it will help with hypoglycemia, energy, and eating less.

Found a link to one of the fat loss myths. Thought I would share.

How long have you been doing this? Do you weigh your food? How much do you jog?

Resting/sleeping burns Calories?
Actually a large percentage of your daily calories are burned during sleep. This is when most of your bodies repairs are being done.

Ok - I weighed myself today and I have gained .6 pounds this week. I had done really well at watching what I ate, drinking water and exercising. I did start a new exercise program - The Biggest Loser Cardio Max and about killed myself the first time on it (still sore today from working out Sunday). Oh well, I will keep at it and hopefully next week I will lose. Sorry for complaining.

Also, exercising harder than you are used to causes release of cortisol. Relax, its just water Wink
