To quote one of the all time greats.............“You can't hit a target you cannot see, and you cannot see a target you do not have.” Zig Ziglar We must have goals! Please post your goals and let others hold you accountable and check in on you. My ultimate goal is to weigh 200lbs and bench 400lbs.
It’s like a dream right? One day a week to stuff yourself a bit while dieting. It’s what I do every week and have been doing for……………..must be around 4 years or so now. I have always struggled with caving in and pigging out while dieting. I would do great, drop 10lbs, crave a pizza pie, and it was over. Of course, if you…
Is it simply, if you burn more than you take in you lose weight no matter what? You hear it everywhere. Is it true? I wanted to share some of my recent research on looking at the equation a bit deeper. In looking for the answers for one of my great friends on here, I ran across some interesting info. After losing an…
Eat less and move more..............everyone has heard it, but is it true? At the basic level, this is how it works. Calories in vs calories out is the key to weight loss but that is not the whole story. Different kinds of exercise can have a major impact on how fat is lost. I will list in order what I feel to be the best…
I am SO new to eating healthy, and I honestly don't want to lose weight. I am just trying to be as healthy and happy as I can. However, I don't understand all of the macros for MFP...and I can never seem to eat enough. It says that I should eat at least 1600 calories a day to maintain my weight, but I barely ever eat over…
From a weight loss standpoint, this could be my most important post ever if you suffer from cravings, specifically carb cravings. It's no secret after going off plan a bit this past weekend and then having the great pop tart mishap Tuesday, I had something going on. What was causing me to go astray when I typically don't?…
Due to health reasons ( Atrial fIb) I am staying away from the gym. I have recently taking up swimming this week... swimming about 1 mile per session. Is this going to build up my upperbody and cut the fat of my abs? ( I am not talking big gains ) I am 194 pounds and 6 feet. I am not overly fat, just carrying the odd…
I posted this thread outside of the group and no one has responded, maybe it's a foolish question :laugh: but I'll try my luck here as well.... So I try not to eat a lot of salty foods and I love water, I've been losing weight but can only notice it in the morning. For the first couple of hours my stomach looks flatter but…
What is your take a three week liquid diet? I plan to drink two protein shakes and one high protein meal. Going on vacation in three weeks and I really want to lose some pounbs before then. I also plan on doing a cardio ab routine.
So I was playing around with the TDEE calculator online and it says that my TDEE is 2229 with my height of 5'1" 150lbs and 32 years old with my exercise being moderate 3-5 times a week. It showed my BMR at 1438 to maintain the weight I'm at now? So minus 20% from the 1428 and I'm at 1150 calories a day to lose weight? Does…
Just wondered what's the right way to do it?
Whats type of foods that are high carbs content, low fat, low sugar to fill my 3500 calorie spike day without having to eat HUGE amounts of food? I need examples please.
How do you set a goal weight? I am 5'4" 40 yrs old and now 218 pounds. When I find a goal weight calculator online it says 160. I think that is rather high.
On the Spike, how often do you recommend weighing in and retaking measurement? I use to weigh-in every Friday morning, and measurements once a month. With Spike, what is recommended??
