freaked out, just slightly freaked.
I understand that, if it is going to occur, it often occurs at

I'm new to this group, but not new to LC. I lost 30lbs. 2 yrs ago and then
found out I was pg with my son & had to stop lc'ing. Now I'm trying to lose
the leftover pregnancy weight and a lot more.
Sometimes when I get tempted to cheat I have to remind myself of the

Where do you get this prot shake powder?
From previous:
Thanks, I have printed off your recipe and will give it a try. The
boxed pancakes are yucky, IMO!

Then does that mean that your body goes to the glucose stores first, and

From what I am reading, the three phases of ATP production when working out

tried the turkey/bacon melt today and while it was very good it costs me
