Hi Jillian,

I heard that you read this thread so I hope that you can help? I had sent to this question into KFI but then a few days later you took a break from the show. I hope someday you return, we never missed a Sunday it was great.

I will set the question up first: I have lost over 90 pounds since last September and have been exercising (cardio) everyday as of 2/28/09. I am now up to 110 minutes of cardio a day, but for the past few weeks my sweat has been smelling like ammonia about 50 minutes into my workout. I do have lunch a mix of protein, fat and good carbohydrates about 30 minutes before I workout. I have read a few of the post about ammonia smelling sweat, but that happens to athletes that start burning muscle. But the problem is I still have well over 60 pounds to lose so my body shouldn't be burning muscle but fat reserves, RIGHT?

I eat 1500 calories a day, 34 years old, 5'8 and weigh 200 lbs. I had blood tests done and my liver funtion is great.

Thank you Kate

Hi Kate and welcome to 3FC!

Jillian Michaels became a member here and posted for a few months back in 2005 when she was promoting a book that had just been published. Unfortunately, she hasn't logged in since late in 2005 so I don't think she'll see your question.

My suggestion is to post your question in our Weight Loss Support forum and you should get a better response. I'd hate to see your question just languish here.

Congratulations on your wonderful weight loss and we're all looking forward to getting to know you!

Thanks for the welcome and reply. I will try there.
