The last thread she started I was also convinced this is Barbara Carr.

I have no clue what IIFYM really means, and I don't particularly care. I do cardio, I lift, and I eat. I'm 5'11", weigh 163 and would like to lose another 8-10 lbs by summer. But, I if I just get more muscular and keep some of those 8-10 lbs I'm okay with that too. I eat pretty healthy, but I generally eat what I want when I want it, because I work hard.

I am a very supportive friend on here, but I really can't stand the MFP drama. I don't see anything wrong w/ your original post, but if you truly meant it mean/snarky (which is what everyone else who has posted seems to think), then we probably won't get along well. If you really want more supportive friends with the same goals as you, and if I fit that bill, send me a FR. Best of luck to you either way!

1) Eating at a healthy deficit (No IIFYM bull)

Found this in your food log from yesterday..."Subway - 6" Black Forest Ham Sub on Toasted Parmesean Oregano Bread With American Cheese, Light Mayo, Veggies, 6 " sub"
Also, some pre-packaged chicken wing sauce, and gummy worms.

So, you eat deli meat (processed with lots of sodium)? american cheese (highly processed, hardly counts as cheese)? candy (sugar and more sugar)? But you think IIFYM is bull? I think you don't know what IIFYM means.

I don't think there's anything wrong with those foods, but, that pretty much defines what people mean when they say IIFYM. (Contrary to popular misconceptions, IIFYM is not all about pop tarts, pizza, and ice cream. Though there's nothing wrong with those things either, in the right portions)

You win the internet today, sir.

Hello,

Im looking for friends whose goal is to lose weight by doing the following three things:

1) Eating at a healthy deficit (No IIFYM bull)
2) Doing cardio 3-4 times week
3) Lifting light and/or heavy

Im looking to lose 10-15lbs this way and giving myself until May 2014 to accomplish it. I am not a quitter and I like people to push me and in return I will push them too. Please add me as a friend if you think we will get along. Thanks

The BIG THREE means something completely different to most folks around here.

Not discussing actual lifting in here.

I'm out.

right? that's what I thought this would be about.

SRSLY! Also, "IIFYM bull"?! :huh: I get 40% of my calories from protein. Let me tell you what I eat only *very* rarely: pizza, chocolate, ice cream. I think I ate pop tarts once last year.

I'm out.

Well, those aren't my big 3, but I think you have a sensible plan in place. However, IIFYM is also very sensible and is what has allowed me to lose close to 50 lbs and maintain that loss as well. It is the only thing I have ever done that does not feel like a diet. I eat what I want (at a deficit and still very nutritious) and lose.

I do lift 2-3 times a week and do cardio 2-3 times a week; if 2 out of 3 is enough, go ahead and send a FR my way. :flowerforyou:

please explain why IIFYM is bull? :huh:

If you do IIFYM you still have eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight, I think you may have misunderstood IIFYM.

Just my opinion. IIFYM is probably great for some. I personally don't like it. Im not into fitting poptarts, icecream, candy, Mcdonalds into my diet. Unless it's a cheat day, then i will allow it and it won't bother me if i go other calorie goal for that day i ate that.

So instead of practicing moderation over a long period of time, you binge one day a week?

Cool.

Oh lawdy....read the link I put up as you still have no comprehension of what IIFYM is.


Do you at least try to hit your macronutrient targets or ignore them an focus on calories?

Yep your right! But that day was an "off day" for me so i ate those things. Im having another off day on Dec 31 and then another one on Jan 5th. Then im done with whatever foods. I will have a bunch of off foods while im losing this weight. Once the weight is gone, I may stay without whatever foods OR I might try IIFYM for maintaining. Never know - gotta lose the weight first.

I was going to quote you, but you beat me to it. :happy:

OP: I just would like to ask why you feel the need to alienate some really wonderful and supportive people on here because they follow a different way of eating than you?

Do you know why people give up weight loss plans? They choose a overly restrictive paths.

What about drinking? Are you going to allow room for that a few times a year?

You should consider reading the previous link as it is clear that you have some misconceptions about flexible dieting. It's not likely to be what you think it is.

The real big three is Chrysler, General Motors, and Ford. I too base my friends around these cause I if you drive foreign, chances are we won't get along.
