What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
I tried to eat a high protein low carb diet most of the time. I eat my largest meal at lunch and a light dinner. After reading articles here I have recently added a small breakfast of yogurt, oatmeal, or a hard boiled egg. I use South Beach Protein bars for a snack in the afternoon after I work out. I do drink lots of water and will only drink a coke if I eat pizza which isn't often. I still love coffee but I am trying to cut it back to only two cups a day - one at home -one at the office.I tried to eat a high protein low carb diet most of the time.

What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?

I stopped by to say that you look absolutely amazing! I want to compliment you on your dedication, determination and achievement. You are a fantastic example of what can be done when someone decides to get it done and a great inspiration to so many others. Stay strong, focused and determined.
I'm not a big fan of these fat burner pills or anything else like that for that matter. Just not natural, you know? So, if you take them what happens when you stop taking them?
Melanie! You have done fantastic work, and no one can ever deny how far you have come!!! With your positive attitude and solid work ethic you will certainly get that 6-pack you have been working for.
I hear ya. I'm an uncertified geek and own my own business. I've encountered MCSE instructors who didn't understand the basics of TCP/IP, subnetting, and routing. I think the whole certification thing is a waste of time and paper... but I suppose it's a start.
