I agree dmb4041! Congrats on doing so well!

For me in 6 weeks of low carbing I can say I've learned:

*It's not as difficult as it seems
*I don't have to starve and be deprived to loose weight
*It's really hard to get all that egg stuff off the cutlery in the dishwasher
*The support of others is soooooo important... like the people right here!

Just imagine all you'll know after a year! A low-carb genius in the making!

Are you saying that it has become easier for you to run but harder for you to lift weights? Granted I have only been lc-ing for a day and a half, but yesterday I found it harder to lift weights (although they're not free weights) but easier to do cardio. I'm not quite sure why!

What has everyone else's experience been like at the gym? More or less energy?

P.S. Casey, congrats on your loss

I do resistance training with toning cords, and I've learned that even though my muscles are getting bigger and more toned...they're not very strong and get fatigued very rapidly. I don't think i've found the correct balance of supplements yet to fix this.
