Nope. All you need is a calorie deficit to lose weight. If that smoothie fits your calories, you're good.

Thank you. I needed a good ego stroking.

I've been called hot and ugly all in one thread. Ridiculous.

Let's start a group of people who think you should always go big or go home when it comes to Ben and Jerry's. I need more positivity in my life.

That's how I got you two ;)

OP, you've been given some really solid advice here. The concept of "metabolic exercises" is not really as helpful as consistently knowing what you burn and what your intake looks like. With that said, you want progressive resistance and the programs @rabbitjb mentioned would be on my list too.

I'm glad you feel that way. I learned the "hard" way by trying them, getting frustrated, and getting diarrhea. It took me a long time to get to calorie counting and it's the only thing that worked.

With only 10 lbs to lose, I highly recommend making sure your goals are realistic because it will come off a little more slowly when you're close to your goal weight! You don't have to avoid any particular foods to lose weight. You may want to eliminate certain things for health reasons and that's alright, but if a certain…

She makes a good point! After that session, I actually stayed at my gym for a year and just did my own thing. The trainers weren't part of it and I just did what I wanted. I really only left because the other gym is closer to home and I wanted a pool to train in which the original one didn't have.

You're right, and the key there is "healthy you." Even at a healthy body weight and LBM, I will never have a thigh gap (I don't want one, it's just an example). Genetics determine a lot about body shape and while it's not healthy or something to aspire to to want to be overweight and not care, being at a healthy weight and…

Good for you for standing your ground. I had a similar experience a few years ago at a chain gym when the trainer, after I explicitly told him that despite my being fairly small I was very weak, pushed me through personal training to the point of not being able to walk the next day and made me feel like all people my age…

Your fitness level is....I mean your abs are so....You haven't lost any w... Nope, I got nothin'

I have a big sad That we can't have nice things here The wit is all lost.

Go to bed old man. (They're right, OP ^^. Only your doctor can help you normalize your condition. Until then, it is what it is and you can only adjust external factors such as eating and exercise.)

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

My dog eats da raisins Then she tries to kiss my face She's lucky she's cute

Are those the raisins That she was talking about? Didn't understand

Jackson Pollock style? It sounds like splatter painting In orange and brown

What she said. It "works" but it's not sustainable.

No, it does not. You will lose water weight and gain it right back.

We're talking of nuts And Star Wars as it would be Stay on the topic

Hah. I suppose "go-to" should be quantified with once in a blue moon, when I actually have a drink and care about calories. Yes, I'm feeling better ;)

But he would haiku Of course, for that is proper Of a Jedi knight

Green he is, Yoda Does that make a super food? Negative cal'ries

In for trying new recipes. Thanks!

I would choose the method that is easiest for you, and stick to it. If TDEE makes sense because you know your workout routine and it is consistent, you can enter that goal into MFP and customize it. I personally have been adding in my exercise calories because my routine varies a lot week to week so I like to be sure of my…

Advocare is a fabulously expensive, unproven supplement that you don't need. With that said, you've already purchased it, so here's my two cents. Whether you choose to complete the challenge or not, consider your goals. If weight loss is your goal, you need a calorie deficit. That's it! No shakes needed. Far cheaper ;) If…

He's the OP....who began the thread by scorning those eating dirty, dirty protein bars.

Gin and diet tonic is my go-to.

There is not a single gif, instance of anyone being hit on, social media exchange or anyone calling anyone sexy. I have no idea what thread you're reading but it's not this one.
