First off, I know things have been a bit slow this week. No, I have not been cooling my feet on a ocean floor, not yet anyway. I have been dealing with some technical stuff and hiring some more help around here. Yes, this is officially a growing company. It is all your fault!

I need a mid-week update from everyone in the challenge right now. I don’t usually harass people mid week but this is a crucial stage. I need you to answer the following questions and I am sending this to my crew as well…

-How does it feel to have a little over a week to go?
-Are you happy so far with the progress and is it helping you stay inspired?
-What are you needing the most right now to help you keep going!?

In the mean time, here are some audios.

Audio #1-Fat Loss Rapidfire Reader Request

Seems like this is going to be hear to stay for a while. It is serving to be really fun and me and Scott are learning more about each other every day. He is proving to be a pretty solid guy and I like him a lot. If you haven’t checked out his blog, please do so here.

To listen in to the latest call you can replay it here. http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=4858779

There is plans for a night time call in on Tuesdays at 8 I think, will keep you updated on that.

Audio#2-The FitCast Episode 110-Kevin is a Drag Queen.

All I am going to say about this is that I have a laughing fit at the end of the call because of this…

That is all I am going to say about that…go listen!

Audio #3-The Fat Loss Troubleshooter Speaks Episode 17-Say goodbye to the old, Hello to new

Say goodbye to the old, Hello to new

Here are the questions for this call and thereare some upcoming news or as Sinead would call it, “a tease” about some things to come.

(Anonymous) Question #1

Hi Leigh

I just listened to your response to my question about birthday cake and loose skin. Thanks for responding!

Since you asked for a little bit more info about me, here goes!

I started to get overweight around the age of 6 due to my mum always feeding me when I wasn’t hungry. At the age of 12, I got conscious of my weight so I started dieting. I dieted pretty much non stop until I was 18. I gained 20 – 30kg (onto my already slightly overweight frame) up until the age of 20. I then lost all the weight and at the age of 21 was at my goal weight. To maintain this weight, I was only able to eat small amounts. After a horrible break up, I gained 50kg over the course of a year. Eating was the only thing that made me happy (a broken heart can do that to you!). Probably because I had been depriving myself for so long, it felt good to eat.

I was binge eating a lot! In between binges though, I was not eating anything for 1 day to 2 weeks at a time. I felt too impatient to watch the weight go down slowly which led me to fast so extremely. I was (and still am) so sad about the body I’ve lost.

I felt like I had to do the metabolic repair program because all of my other diets just didn’t work this time around.

I was so concerned about loose skin because I have lost, gained, lost, gained and am now losing again.

Do you think the metabolic repair program isn’t suitable??

I love how you’re helping all these people Leigh! You must have a great heart!

(Anonymous) Thanks!

Anne-Question #2

LEIGH, YOU ARE AWESOME!!
Is there a section that has specs on the fat loss challenge?? I did not hear that Oct. 20 till like the 27th.(missed getting on-line to your site/podcasts at the wrong time!)  I’m sure you are going to do another challenge but I am I want/need to know person Thank you much for your continued support…

Also one last thing…

I was dieting down from Sept 8 to Oct 8 rather diligently- 1300-1500 and saw a 4Lb./ 7in. cumulative drop was feeling good  than my menses came and I have been off track ever since and real hungry. No real gains, but certainly no more losses have been achieved :( I want to get back on track. I still have more to go… can I just hop back on board and expect results as I achieve deficit or do I need to be at higher intake again to start a new go at it again later on?

Also what types of standing-vertical stability work do you suggest for abs and glutes
I hear that this type of work is more effective than traditional lye down methods. I currently am definitely at a loss for ab work but as I lose fat can begin to feel the definition is there and would like to encourage more

Blessings and Thanks so much!!
-Anne

Janice Question #3 (Regarding Metabolic Repair Program)

I got the book Rules of lifting for women, and saw on one of their forums some kind of challenge about eating all your calories at once or something like that, there was a link to you. I have been dieting on and off for 19yrs amongst other avenues of keeping the weight off, lipo, binge/purge, diet pills, excessive exercising the list goes on and on. I never really stuck with weightlifting I was all about the cardio, and even fellow gym members would comment on the intensity at which I worked out. All the while eating, usually a bar for breakfast , a salad for lunch , maybe another smaller bar and Frozen yogurt for dinner,Then after getting frustrated that I look the same or weigh the same, I say SCREW IT and eat everything in sight. I am fatter than ever.!!!!!!!!

I need to start from scratch and since re-birth is not an option, I feel this resetting of my metabolism is the best I’ve got!!!!

All I was asking was; “Is 1075 cals going to screw me up (if that’s even possible) and was I calculating correctly”.??!
And some of the prepare moves were unfamiliar to me, how does the average Joe prepare if they don’t know what to do or gym or workout lingo??!
Also how do you find the caloric values of food so that during the REST period or any stage, you can make sure you are staying within the calorie allowance??!
One last thing will it work if I eat protein bars or shakes as part of my calories, otherwise I’m not sure how to calculate my food!!!

I am really not this retarded when it comes to things but I am very nervous to give up exercise for 3 weeks.
Thank you in advance,
Janice
ps I’m 37 5′6″ 144lbs and 0, ZERO, ZIP. NADA muscles

The Direction and Future of The Fat Loss Troubleshooter


15 Aug

Posted in fat loss blog, fat loss resources, fat loss troubleshooter | 19 Comments »

I mentioned previously with the banner change/contest that the site itself was going to go through a big overhaul. The truth is that this blog is not reaching half the potential of what I want it to be or an optimal level for you the reader either. There is a lot of filler which I need to remove and maximize more content instead. I also want to put additional focus on some of the more complex aspects of dieting, my boys are being neglected a little, and training is nowhere to be seen. I want the world, but I can’t do it alone! So I need your help out there readers!

Change one: An Editor

First, I am learning to take my time with my writing. Most of the time it’s being rushed to do a thousand different things, which leads to mistakes rather than lack of understanding. For instance, I know the difference between the words ”principal” and “principle,” but I just write fast and they get mixed up in use. So, I need help to fix old posts and to double-check new ones yet I am limited on time. As a result, in the next two weeks all previous posts and articles will be edited and updated by a new editor. In addition, when I have new posts I will do my best to utilize my newly-learned skills in writing. If I slip, I can assure you my grammar coach will be on me faster than I get on you.

This is an important lesson that is applicable in multiple aspects of life. We all need accountability for something. I have taken things to another level to enhance my blog and writing. Are you doing the same thing with your fat loss?

Change two: Guest Bloggers/More Content

As I noted earlier, I realize that my schedule can keep me a little busy. Some days, like today, I get a few hours to focus on things. Other days, even weeks, I am too swamped. So I’ve recently determined that a great way to fix this time management issue of mine is to bring in some of my favorite professionals and writers to blog a thing or two for me. I have a lot of people who don’t have blogs themselves or an audience yet to speak to who would want to take advantage of the good-sized readership I have here. You don’t have to be a professional, you just have to have a good knowledge on the subject and some common sense. This isn’t about guru worship, this is about information and getting it to the masses. I want this blog to be massive in scope and the one-stop shop for fat loss information and general nutrition/training. However, like I said above, I can’t do that alone.

If you are interested in contributing to the blog or want more information on doing so please contact me here� for more information.

Change three: Layout

The current layout is not a huge deal to most of the readers but I’m giving fair notice that it’s going to be going through a few small changes here and there. If you get confused there will be a site map going up to help out. Overall, the point is to make it easier to access older posts and the goods of the site.

The actual site address is going to change too BUT you will still be able to access it through avidityfitness.net. The future site will be Thefatlosstroubleshooter.com.

Change four: Resources

The OPT program has made it even more apparent that there needs to be more specific training content and exercise demonstrations available. In addition to these materials, I want to give to you more resources to not only explain how things work with nutrition and the body, but to make it easier for you to refer to this site as a resource of information. The thing is, again, time is not of the essence, and I am knee-deep in training and personal rehab. However, although I have come to find that most of the training videos are already out there, they’re just scattered! So I am taking a cue from JP’s on Lisa (aka: “The Linkzilla”) and putting together a nice collection of approved exercise demonstrations and training movements not only for the OPT program but also in general. It should be a nice database and hopefully, it will not take very long at all.

Change five: You asked for it, you got it!

Basically if you ask for my service, you will get it the best I can give it.

However, I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what you need. I need to know from YOU what you want to see more of in general from me in terms of content.

I need you to answer these question for me in the comment section.

*Note:

    Do not have to use your real name or email for this.

I have turned off that function for this post. You do still have to fill it out, but it does not have to be valid. For example, you can put

Name: Answers

Email: answers@yahoo.com

You can also use the contact form and send them to me there. This should only take a few minutes and would really help me to help you better as a reader. For the people that do this, your answers will not be seen or approved for the public.

Thank you, all of you, for helping me build this to what it is already. I want to make it even better, but I can’t do that without you.

Here are the questions and I am looking forward to the answers.

1. Age/Sex
2. Do you find you need help more with:
Training
Diet
Motivation
All of the Above
3. Do you like more direct and to the point content or making things fun a little but still with content?
4. Do you enjoy having the ability to debate a little and talk about more “taboo” content?
5. What do you feel is lacking the most for fat loss information out there and blogging?
6. What do you like about what I do most and why do you keep coming back?
7. Would you be interested in free teleconferences?
8. What guest bloggers specifically would you like to see?
