The Fat Loss TroubleshootThis is your place to troubleshoot your fat loss problems from nutrition to training. This section is led by Leigh Peele, author of "The Fat Loss Troubleshoot," the ultimate fat loss manual. If your results have slowed or stalled this is the place to come for advice for all your fat loss needs.
I want to start a new log for fat loss, but I'm not sure whether to start it here, where there are people I know, who answer with knowledgeable answers, or post it over on FLzine.com to support Leigh's new venture, and put a link here in the signature of my posts to my log.
I tend to want to start it on FLzine, but there's a lot of heavy duty trainers, and somewhat the joking I don't know, I ... I'm not sure. I know it's very early in its life still. Also, at 62 and recovering from foot surgery, I think my goal is 1) lose 25 pounds; 2) afterwards, build strength and some muscle; 3)health and maintenance of weight, not bungee jumping and rock climbing.
Leigh, what is your intent for FLzine: that it will be a FLTS and MRM center as well as bodybuilding? (Duh, that sounds dumb as I write it, you are Queen FLTS/MRM)...
Again, I tend to want to start it over there FLzine, but wonder if I'll lose out on all the support that is already here at JP Fitness.
I was going to post this as a private message/query to Sinead, but thought it might make a good conversation topic, so am posting it public. I probably will be starting it over there at FLzine.com in a day or 2, as I need the support. I'm thinking of calling it "Get In and Get Out" if that is okay with Leigh, because it is such an inspiring phrase. Or "Etana, get the heck in and get out already!"
I like your thought of linking your sig to your log over there....and support the new venture You could always cut and paste and post on both sites if you feel your questions would be better answered here...just a thought. Either way the more the merrier, I just started a log over there a bit ago and it would be great to have ya
Technically you know neither site or forums are "support," just places that I hang out and try to answer questions at.
FLzine is...off the collar for sure. It's all Nicks fault.
In short though, ANYONE is welcome and it is just the way the humor is around there. While the humor is very un-PC the difference is that no one, NO ONE should be or will be mean to anyone. And the PC is in jest. I do not, in anyway, support real sexism, homophobia, racism, classicism, etc.
Truthfully it is full of a bunch of really good trainers and educators. So, no need to be worried is all I am saying.
As to which place to start a log, feel free to post it anywhere you desire. If you have a specific question for me or anyone then you know you can post it, pm me, etc and I will always try and answer to the best of my ability unless someone else genuinely answers it just fine.
For example, if someone asks a question, but not to me specifically, and someone else answers it, I move on. I do try and answer all questions that have my name in it though, or say "I agree."
If a little more sensitive to people being immature, you know nick, (not saying you are, this is just for anyone reading) then you may want to log here.
I don't post freely here like I do there. There you can actually talk to me about other things and my log, and I put that loosely is there. Here, I am pretty much all "business."
So I don't even know if that answers your question, but I would be honored to have anyone on the site and please don't be intimidated by anything or anyone.
I'm not put off by the PC or PI humor. I was in my 20's but not anymore.
I just want people I've gotten to know here, also read my log there. I want to continue the connections I've just begun with people here, but I want to support your (Leigh's) new venture.
That's why I'll be starting it there, but linking to it from here.
Here is the link to my new log over on FLzine.com, Leigh's new FAB website. I've added it to my signature here. I hope y'all will wander over there from time to time to give me feedback, keep me focused, and to read some of the great articles posted every day.
I decided to post it there because I think FLzine.com will be an incredible resource. I love reading the articles; I'm beginning to get familiar with the navigation and the threads, it's fun and funny and alive. It is the home of the author of Fat Loss Troubleshoot and Metabolic Repair Manual. And I am a huge supporter of Leigh Peele and her research, her humor, her generosity, and her creative grammar.
FLzine website is live but not the forum :-\ www.flzine.com
I don't trust the server now; 2 fails in a month. I'm gonna save a copy of my log posts.
NO, the forums are still not live.
I got this message: Forum Down For Extended Time
Please see main FLzine page for more detail on future of FLzine and forum.
But there is no info on the main FLzine page
Leigh, the only thing I'm concerned about is my log for the past 2 months. Will I be able to recover those posts for my records? Especially the past 3 weeks of my OPT for Fatloss logging.
thanks
