    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.

    I've owned several GMs and Fords but never a Chrysler. Sorry. I guess I'm out too.

    Unless you meant Japanese cars. I've owned Nissans and Toyotas but never a Honda. Guess I'm out on that one too.


    Best of luck with all your Big Three goals :flowerforyou:

    What is IIFYM?

    If It Fits My Macos.

    I think she may be looking for those who eat healthier (aka veggies, fruits, lean meats, whole grains) foods, rather than filling up on pizza, chocolate, that sort of thing.

    Clearly she is confused. IIFYM =/= "filling up on pizza, chocolate"

    (Though pizza is easy to fit in my macros because they way I make it, it contains the right proportions of carbs, proteins, and fats: 45/20/35 for me)

    I'm aware it doesn't meant that. I'm making assumptions based on what little she posted.

    Except for #1, I think your plan sounds really sensible! I lost 66 pounds essentially following a plan of 'IIFYM' - of course I did it with a 250 calorie a day deficit... so I lost weight.

    I've continued to eat under the basic philosophy of IIFYM (without a deficit), and I have successfully maintained my weight loss for two years now.

    I'm not saying I eat junk all the time, but I definitely find a way to fit a moderate amount of beer/wine, cupcakes, candy, pizza, cheeseburgers, etc into my diet.

    Good luck to you!

    This is me too.

    OP, what exactly do you think IIFYM means, as I don't think it means what you think it means. Also, the "Big Three' does not mean what you think it means.


    As usual, it appears that people think that IIFYM means stuffing your face with pizza, ice cream and pop tarts....it does not.

    In case anyone wants to know what it actually means:

    Clean eating (whatever that means), or eating at a deficit, or eating healthy and IIFYM are not mutually exclusive.

    same here. I was actually wondering if she was leaving out the OHP since she mentioned three not four.

    OHP blows so it's ok to forget it (it's my least favorite lift lol - I still do it though)

    That's why I said "SHE is confused" rather than "YOU are confused." :flowerforyou:
