    Okay - I updated my profile to public. I also changed my settings to a 40/30/30. I try to eat right. for the most part I eat 3 meals a day, I try to eat a couple of snacks. And usually I am forcing the food down. I just don't know how I am going to eat MORE. And I wanted to up my Cardio to try to burn so more fat - but that means eating EVEN MORE. I suck at this.

    Hitting your macros is the most important. Because, if you hit your macros, the calories take care of themselves.

    i know what you mean, about eating all the food that is! i am having a hard time too...i'm trying to make better choices but i'm so full around 3 or 4 in the afternoon (and that is before i workout!)...eating healthy really does fill me up better than all the crap food i used to eat!

    hang in there...you'll get it!

    I've just been up and down the last few days - to the extreme! One day I feel the best I've felt since 2005, the next I want to quit. I try to read all the boards but sometimes they confuse me. 30DS is enough, no it's not. Do 30 minutes of cardio too. Don't pay attention to the macros. Do pay attention to the macros. It took me a few minutes to figure out what the hell a macros was. Track your 20 minute walk, don't track your walk. I eat all day long, and can't get enough calories. Should I stop working out, until I can get my calorie count up? But if I don't work out, then i'll be skinny fat. And that's the whole damn point - I don't want to be any kind of fat. Today I guess is one of my down days where I feel like I don't know what the hell I am doing. I don't know about fitness, or working out, or eating right. Here I thought I was doing so well - when in all actuality, I am putting my body into starvation mode and holding on to the very fat I am trying to get rid of. I just don't know what else to do.
