Ronda55025 2010 Double T Transformation log

[Ronda55025]

Hi Everyone, My name is Ronda.I am 46 years old. Im here to begin the final frontier of my transformation. I started losing weight this last January when I weighed in at 312. I have had osteo arthritus in both of my knees for years and had been using a cane almost always for about the last 3 years.
I am now down to 253 and no longer rely on the cane 24/7. I want to lose about 103 pounds more.
I'm not sure if I can lose the 103 in the 16 week transformation but I'm sure going to give it my best shot.
I tried the Keto Cuts for the first time this morning before I did my cardio. Wholly cow I was sweating like crazy. Good stuff.
Good Luck to all. Lets have some fun.

Hi Ronda, welcome :)

Congrats on your weight loss so far!

I really loved KetoCuts, hopefully you'll find success with this product in addition to your training like so many others have.

What kind of workouts are you doing? And what do your meals look like?

[Ronda55025]

Here are the rest of my pictures for the challenge

[Ronda55025]

Thanks for the warm welcome,

I am currently doing 50 minutes of cardio a day. Due to my arthritis I am unable to do the treadmill, eliptical or bike for my cardio. So its aerobics for me. Then
I lift 3 days a week.

my current diet is low carb, low fat, brown rice and rolled oats. What kind of diet are you on? Your picture looks great.

Im new to all this kind of stuff. Thanks for engaging me in conversation.

[Simpy]

Rhonda, please forgive me for taking so long to get in here. I never saw your thread until today.

I'm thrilled to have you on board with this contest. I notice that you said you have already lost a lot of weight. Congratulations! But you were upset to have only lost 1 pound last week. That may be a normal amount of progress for you right now. Have you changed up your workout routine or diet recently? Changing things up when you start to slow down or plateau is the way to get it moving again.

[BPP]

congrats on the progress you've already made!!! I'll be following this from now on

WOW .. I never thought of lasagna made with cabbage!!!
How was it???

Hi Barbie,
The lasagna was great. I subsituted the raw cabbage for the pasta, used fat free cottage cheese and mozzrella made with skim milk and no sugar added spaghetti sauce. It was delicious.

Im super excited about losing weight. I do at times find it kind of emotional. Its a little overwhelming. I told my husband sometimes i feel like an episode of "The Biggest Loser"

[StlBarbie]

You REALLY have me intrigued with the lasagna .... :)
I think I'll try it out on Fitnessman .... :D

I bet this has been a tremendous emotion journey for you ....
I imagine your family could not be any more proud of you than they are!!!

[StlBarbie]

Which Creadyl flavor are you using?
I prefer the Orange Creme.

Sometimes adjusting the ratio of powder to water will assist with flavor preferences, as well!! :)

What flavor do you have? I have no trouble with the orange flavor, but the lime is a bit stout for me. I found that I really had to have it watered down, or if I mixed it with a flavored vitamin drink (I liked the lime mixed with strawberry drink) that helped a lot.

[Ronda55025]

Today is a non traing day and I have chosen to reflect on my progress thus far.

Today is the end of the first part of my journey to a fit and healthy life style. I started January 3,2010. I weighed in at 312. The whole family went on a healthy diet. I have been morbidly obese for over the last 14 years. I have osteoarthritis in both of my knees with bone on bone on each side. I have hypothyroidism. Surprisingly I don’t have diabetes , high blood pressure or high cholesterol. I had virtually dieted myself to obesity. Crazy fad diets, Lose 10 pounds, gain 20. I've gone on diets and by noon forgot that I had even started a diet. I've had the big final feast countless times because the diet was always starting tomorrow. I've blamed so many other things for the fat and at the end of the day when you get right down to it the culprit was there in the mirror staring me in the face.
I was my own worse enemy. I have robbed my family, my husband and myself of being the best I can be. Being fat, unfit, and out of shape is horrible. The cane, the scooter, the chair in the tub, all horrible. All gone now. 46 and getting fit. It even rhymes. Its time. I started a 12 week transformation on bodybuilding.com in March. The encouragement and inspiration from my wonderful husband Sean. Always by my side. I began to feel muscle. Muscle in my thighs first. Then in my forearms, my chest, arms and I now can even see the outline of where my abs are( they are still covered by fat but they are there). I’m excited to see the transformation. As the end drew near for the 12 week program I was following, my husband Sean told me about a transformation contest that was beginning in May. At the start of the contest I would have 4 weeks left on the first weight training program that I was on and then I would do it again for 12 more weeks and that would take me to the end of the 16 week contest. So on May 2, 2010 I signed up for the Double T Transformation contest. I was already on my second brand of fat burner that wasn’t really working for me so I was looking forward to trying the Keto Cuts. I love this product. I had no idea I could sweat so much. I have tried both flavors of the Creadyl product and I was unfortunately having a problem with them. I thought I was going to have to bow out of the contest and Sean said for me to try the N0-Beta. I used this product during my last 4 workouts and I’m all in. This product has changed my workout. I can feel my muscles getting pumped up. My energy is great. Next week I am planning on trying 4 at a time. I just received the Wild Berry Glutacene and am looking forward to using this product. I have read good things about its benefits. Well I have 74 more pounds and 12 weeks to go. I would be interested if anyone has any suggestions on supplements to take prior to cardio that will help with building the muscle in my legs since I am limited to what I can do.

I would also like to thank Sean for all that he does for me. He is my rock.

I love reading about your journey. It's very inspirational, and no matter what the final judging of this contest says, you are definitely a winner in my opinion.

[drooks10]

Wow! What a story. I can't wait to follow your progress!

For the supplementation, I would suggest you dose NO-Beta pre-wo, and then sip on your Glutacene throughout your workout and cardio sessions. Good luck, and I am definitely cheering for you!

[Ronda55025]

Hallelujah!!! I think that i have finally figured out my weight training stack!!!
Here we go.

pre workout: 2 Keto Cuts, Whey, creatine, 4 No-Beta and sipped on 20 0z of Wild Berry Glutacene.

flat bench press 3x12 @ 75
incline bench press 3x12 @ 65
decline bench press 3x12 @ 65
tricep extentions 3x12 @ 62
overhead cable extentions 3x12 @55

SUPER CHARGED about my workout coming up on Wednesday to try the stack again.

Congrats on you winnings. Hard work pays off.
I have a question about taking the No-Beta and Glutacene. I want something to take before/during my cardio workout. I do cardio everyday. Is it ok to use these products everyday? Will there be side effects?

[Ronda55025]

Ronda, what kind of workout did you get today?

25 minutes cardio treadmill. Tomorrow is a training night. I'm looking forward to it now that I think I've finally figured out my stack. Didn't get your reply about the supplements for cardio until after I did the cardio this morning. I'm going to try the No-Beta and Glutacene tomorrow morning when I go in for the am cardio. Should I take 4 No-Beta? thats what I'm taking when I train. Im sore from my workout from yesterday but the workout was awesome. I've been thinking of adding another workout for 4 a week. Thanks for the help and advise I'll take all I can get.

I wouldn't take NO-Beta pre-cardio. It is a pump product, so I would only use it for your pre-workouts. Sip on a couple scoops of Glutacene during your cardio, and that should be enough.

WooHoo! You've become addicted to feeling good. I LOVE IT!!! There is a certain point where exercise stops being painful, and starts being fun and necessary. Seems like you've passed that point and made it into the good part. It only gets better.

[Synapsin]

I only ever run for the runner's high haha. Otherwise I despise running, but that high is so worth it.

fly 3x12 @80 * increase, its great my body feels powerful. My muscles have been wanting this workout.

I usually update at the end of the day or the next day but I was too excited to let ya'll know that I was able to get on the treadmill again this morning for 30 minutes. I'm so happy. Thanks for all the encouragement that everyone gave me while i was waiting for this to happen again. even though I made it to 30 minutes on the treadmill and was happy with that I wanted to do more. I don't want to over do it but when I got off the treadmill it was as if I was floating. the natural high was outstanding. :p

How warm is it up in Minnesota, Ronda? :)
its been in the 80s and kind of muggy. Its so much easier to deal with weighing less.. I love the fall here and the snow is my favorite time of year. I have lived in California, Hawaii and Minnesota. Minnesota is the most beautiful place to live. You get 4 seasons here. :p

[drooks10]

Wait...you lived in Hawaii, and you prefer Minnesota?!!!! What?! Haha.

I hate snow, after living in Florida I would be happy to never see snow again. I travel to MN for business and they do get a LOT of snow IMO.

1:30 lettuce ground beef-1 carb ketchup

4:30 pm 1 meal replacement shake 2 ketocuts

7:00 broccoli and 1/2 can chicken breast w parmesean cheese

*8pm the kids are begging me to take them shopping for what they consider "real food". I guess i never really thought about it. This will be interesting because for the most part we have eaten pretty much the same thing since March when I started the weight training. I dont think that I will have too many problems with temptation. As long as we dont have a spaghetti night I should be fine.

9:30 1 scoop casien and good night.

[Ronda55025]

today is a training day. ! yeah!

I got up at 3:00am (its all the water i drink) Sean is away in LA and I can't get back to sleep. SOO its off the the gym I go
1 scoop whey, 4 No-Beta, casien, glutamin, 2 ketocuts.

3:30
30 minutes cardio, sweating buckets. I love Ketocuts. once I forgot to take them before i went for my cardio and the whole thing was awful. I kept waiting for the SWEAT and it didnt really happen. I know the cardio is good for me but it just seemed that I wasnt really getting the best of treadmill. I know it was because of not having taken the KC. From then on I have them with me always. I now carry a small baggie of them in my purse. Don't leave home without them....

Minnesota is a great state. I am in Ohio. We get the four seasons here but also a TON of rain. Do you get the rain there?

its seems that as of late we have been having a lot of rain. But I also enjoy the rain as well.

this was another great leg workout for me. Im excited that i've been able to continue with the leg workouts. its great to see and feel the muscle in my legs. I remember when i first started working out that I felt the muscle in my right thigh and it felt like a walnut. its funny now, but then it was odd. its gotten much larger now.

My motivation is back up now. when i was doing cardio after tonights workkout i felt empowered , very satisfied with my workout. Happy that the depression and lack of motivation from the beginning of last week were gone. I'm glad that even though my motivation was down last week that I didn't do anything crazy like sabatoge my diet or slack off my workouts. Im glad i had self-control to get through it.

Thank you to everyone on this site for your words of encouragement, it means a lot to me. Super duper kudos to Sean for always being there for me.

well its late so good night..
oh yeah 1 scoop casien good night.

I have a cd that has classical music and the sound of rain in the background. it is very calming and relaxing.


How did your Monday go? Hope you are carrying your enthusiasm into this week!

Monday was ok, but Tuesday was a workout day so it was far more superior than
Monday. (however, you can't get to Tuesday without going through Monday :) )


took the words out of my mouth :)

Thanks.


Hey, can one of you please answer this question for me. Sean got an email from Double
T about the Keto cuts and I was wondering why I did not get this email. He has also received emails in the past as well (just general stuff) but I do not. Does anyone know why? Thanks Guys...and Gals...

[drooks10]

I don't know why he is receiving e-mails? Who were they from? I never got an e-mail either about products when I was doing the competition. All my interactions were from here in the forums. Just hack his e-mail and get his messages and act like they are to you. Good to see that Tuesday was a good one for you!

* Today was to be a training day. Im still out for the count on the shoulder blade and now my legs as well. Im going to baby it along. I'm hoping this time that recovery will be less than a week unlike the last 2 times. I try to not let these road blocks hamper my motivation. I dont mind playing through the pain but when i still need my legs to get around i need to take care of getting them back in working order again. Getting old and broken sucks.

[Ronda55025]

Today will not be a training or cardio day. This morning we have the parade and then there will be a lot more walking by the end of the fireworks tonight. So the big challenge will be to stay on the DIET as much as possible.
we started the day with weighing in . i weighed the same as last week but the shorts that i bought a month ago for today are loose and as a matter of fact will probably go in the fat clothes pile with in about 2 more weeks. I am please. :)

had the usual breakfast and anyone that reads my log knows thats the 1/2 cup oats, 5 egg whites with salsa. I had to skip the Ketocuts today. I only have enough for 3 days and the order i placed on the 30th will not be here until July 7th. When we first started ordering it only took 3 days to get our supplements. Now its 7. so i'll need to skip a day so i have enough for the days i do cardio and lift.

The diet went pretty well today other than we probably didn't eat often enough. oh yeah and we had 1 MGD light. Man that tasted good. We also were going to drink a hard lemonade (light) but it didnt taste good, just poured it out.

The fireworks were great. didnt get to sleep until midnight (this is late for us) and i had been up since 3:30 this morning. Fell asleep before taking the casein.

Dang! Sorry to hear about your injuries. Don't let it get you too down though. Just use it as time to rest, and prepare to go even harder once you get back! I hear ya about getting old, too! Haha. It seems like I'm always pulling something or trying to heal some kind of ache or pain.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

Today will be a training day. it has to be. I will still be skipping the cardio for reasons discussed in previous logs.

I agree with Simpy, I'd love to see you rate the products on a 1-10 scale .. THANKS!! :)

[Ronda55025]

Keto Cuts First let me start by saying this product is SWEATASTIC!

Mood I do not experience any mood alterations from this product

Alertness i get up at 4am most of the time to go to the gym for cardio. this helps me get up and go. i usually experience a low inj the afternoon and after I take the afternoon Keto cuts its all good for getting through the rest of the day

Energy this gives me the boost that i need to get through the day

I give each one of these catagories a 10 thats 30 out of 30 100%
there should be another catagory to really describe the sweat factor of the keto cuts. I love feeling the fat melt off my body while sweatin on the treadmill.

[journey2swole]

Nice review of the KetoCuts :) Which other product did you decide to use during your 16 weeks, the CreaDyl or the NO Beta? How do you feel they are impacting your workouts so far?

Dont forget to check out our Betacene give away everyday on FaceBook. Today,s post is what exercise do you LOATHE but do anyway because you know you have to? I imagine there will be a lot of interesting posts on this one haha. :D http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Double-T-Sports/106276053243?ref=ts

Very cool. KC doesn't make me sweat, but I have issues with breaking a good sweat as it is.

Yep. That is where I really feel ketocuts the most, on the stairmaster. It should be renamed, Ketosweats! HAHAHAHA

[Credz]

I agree with you. Im drenched every time after my cardio workout. Sweat dripping all over the place hehe. :D

[Ronda55025]

I am also using the No-Beta product. I take 5 pre workout. I dont really feel the "tingle" that others are speaking of. I do know that this product can really make the blood move. with my health issues I'm all about circulation and getting my blood pumping. When my husband first tried it his chest was huge. We couldn't even get the tape measure to go all the way around his chest.

Pump great 8/10
This is the only catagory that applies for me.

I tried the Creadyl when i first started the contest first the lemon lime. not good so then i tried the orange cream. I was having difficulties keeping it down. I don't really drink sweet drinks so i was having problems with the flavors. I did try the Glutacene Wild berry. I did like the flavor for this drink and at one point had asked if there were any plans to make a wildberry flavor Creadyl. No reply...... Here is my review of the Creadyl-this is in comparison to not taking any creatine product.



Drive -I didn't really experience much difference. 3/10

Pump - not a huge difference in my wo. Only a slight pump 3/10
Strength -same thing 3/10
Energy -only a slight increase 3/10
Taste-this was the biggest hurdle. The orange flavor was better than the lemon lime for me. I just wasnt able to deal with all the sweetness and felt nauseous during my workout. 0/10
total for this product 24%==12/50

(i was actually putting creatine powder in with the product to enhance its performance. I have now switched to just the powder in my water during workout) I really wanted to like this product. sorry :( but you do want honesty.

[Simpy]

I like the orange far better than the lemon-lime with the Creadyl, so I'll back you on that. Like you, I find the product to be rather sweet. I only do one scoop, and I use a ton of water. I've also found that if I mix it in a vitamin water it actually softens the flavor quite a bit. You'd think it would be opposite of that, given that the Creadyl is flavored and the Vitamin Water is flavored, but for some reason it works.

[freemind38]

I am so glad that there is someone else my age in this contest!

Ronda, are you taking No Beta on an empty stomch?

Because I find that is the key.

If you are taking it with food still in your stomach, I find that the tingle takes awhile to feel because the tablets still need to get broken down and food slows down this process

Hi EOH :)
the only thing in my stomach is the whey which i take at the same time. I think it might have to do with my body fat percentage.

[Ronda55025]

well i have made it back to the log. thank you for the well wishes. I did keep my workout journal and will try to get all those entered by tomorrow. I ddnt keep a diet log but it is the same as the last 12 weeks for the most part a clean diet. I took 4 Keto cuts a day am and afternoons everyday.

Today was the first day of week 13. today was a weigh day, i'm down to 213 so i've lost 40 pounds since i started the contest. and 99 since January 3rd. The muscle that i have developed still amazes me. it feels great. today was also a picture day and i am again please with what i'm seeing. This is hard work but it is so worth it. more tomorrow. and thanks again.

[Ronda55025]

I am so glad that there is someone else my age in this contest!
thank you and good luck to you too. I know what you mean. I've been looking through the other peoples logs and i also wasn't seeing anyone that was the same age. are you enjoying the transformation contest so far? Lots of support with this group here :)

[StlBarbie]

I am right there with you two .... :D

RONDA ~~~ 40 pounds gone is AWESOME!!

[Ronda55025]

I have been having a complete hunger feeling about 10 minutes after I eat lunch and also afternoon snack (i eat approx same time everyday during work week). I can't seem to shake this. I know I'm full but it feels like my stomach is clawing at me from the inside. For lunch i usually have about 1 cup broccoli or lettuce and some chicken breast. and snack is either 1 hard boiled egg white and 1/2 a meatball or a meal replacement shake. I do not have this feeling prior to eating. Has anyone else experienced this before.

[pastorpritch]

start eating some almonds as well and see what happens, or another kind of peanut

[cregister]

Hi Everyone, My name is Ronda.I am 46 years old. Im here to begin the final frontier of my transformation. I started losing weight this last January when I weighed in at 312. I have had osteo arthritus in both of my knees for years and had been using a cane almost always for about the last 3 years.
I am now down to 253 and no longer rely on the cane 24/7. I want to lose about 103 pounds more.
I'm not sure if I can lose the 103 in the 16 week transformation but I'm sure going to give it my best shot.
I tried the Keto Cuts for the first time this morning before I did my cardio. Wholly cow I was sweating like crazy. Good stuff.
Good Luck to all. Lets have some fun.

Hi Ronda I think you have already had great success good luck through the challenge I think you are going to gret

[ride1313]

That is so great Ronda! Good luck with your success and transformation...
