Circuit training maybe?

When you set up your profile, you entered your information for height/weight, etc. That calculated your regular calorie burn for each day. Then it gave you a calorie goal that included this calorie burn. I wouldn't log your regular calorie burn for the day. Just the amount burned during specific exercise.

In the cardio section, there is an entry for strength training.

Oh good Lord! I've been adding things to a container and doing math to get the individual amounts of each ingredient. Hit the zero button. Genius! Oh and love that peanut butter serving amount thing too.

I really miss those crackers and jelly. Of course that was back when they were called c-rats.

My co-worker tells me she is eating to fix her broken metabolism and to avoid starvation mode. I just nod and move on after seeing her breakfast of a fast food sandwich, lunch is some fried fast food and she has informed us all that she isn't cooking at home anymore.

And what happens after the 3 days? Even if you lose weight doing this, it isn't sustainable. Plus, any weight you do lose will only be water weight. Just eat at a calorie deficit, move more, and enjoy your life while being as healthy as you can.

I like the "high" it gives me and I like the sound sleep I get at night.

You can log it under circuit training.

It's going to get ugly very quickly here.

Any response giving a Supernatural gif is golden!

^^^ This. Most definitely, this.

Look online for suggested workouts to get you ready for boot camp. I did a quick search and found this: http://marinecorpsrecruit.com/usmc-boot-camp-training/marine-corps-workout-boot-camp-training/

Yep, yep, yep. Make it about healthy changes/choices.

Unfortunately, you can't. The best thing to do is just track calories, exercise, and understand that even then, there likely won't be a loss every week. It would be very unhealthy to try to lose that much in 4 weeks.

Sorry, you can't spot reduce, and that includes tightening up loose skin. Just keep exercising and hope some tightening occurs.

I want to grow up to be as tactful as you. In other words, nicely done.

[/quote] if a beginner 6 foot tall MALE weight around 140-150lbs at 10% bodyfat, it definately means that NO female should weight over that number. Any female heavier than 130lbs is NOT a health oriented human. This is not a fat acceptance forums.[/quote] And here's my laugh for the day. Thanks, that's just plain…

I found FitNotes, but there are also spreadsheet apps available. Just search for spreadsheet if that's your preferred format.

Initially, just getting used to eating to your calorie limit is good. Once you have been doing it a while, you may find that adjusting your macros to a more personal ratio will work for you. But for now, just get used to tracking your calories.

No. You don't know what her current stats are or if 100-115 lbs is an accurate body mass for her. She's asking about how to increase her breathing capacity/ability.

Start slow. Walk with short (very short) periods of jogging. Walk 2 minutes, jog 20 seconds. Then keep doing that until you complete your walk. If you can up the jogging by 5 seconds the next time, do that. If not, keep doing 20 second jogging until you are able to handle more. You don't have to run a 5k just starting out.

The number of servings will be the total amount in grams. That will make 1 gram the serving size. Then, when you take a portion, you will weigh that and put in that number as the number of servings you are eating. If it weighs 100 grams, you record it as 100 servings in the recipe set up. Then when you log it, you will eat…

Yes. Your muscles will retain water initially. You will start to see some progress soon. Keep moving!

Also, you could make your diary public. That way we could look at what and how you are logging and give specific suggestions.

Check how many servings you set the recipe up to make.

Congrats on the 1/2 way mark! Just keep in mind that the closer you get to your goal, the slower the weight loss will likely be. Just keep on going and you will reach your goal. It may not be in the time frame you set, but you will get to your goal. Again, Congrats!

Your diary isn't open. ETA: It's possible you are overestimating your calorie burns and without seeing your entries, if you are only using measuring cups to enter your food, you could be eating more than you think.

This was a big one for me. Too many years of going to Gold's Gym and seeing the Hulks scared me away from weights. It took a lot of reading, re-reading and reading again to convince me that weights weren't going to turn me into She-Hulk.
