It took my friend one year to lose 10 lbs doing 10,000 steps per day EVERYDAY. This was with no diet change. It is effective, but it's a lifestyle change, and it does take time. With a calorie deficit, look at your myfitness pal goals. It will tell you how many calories you can eat to lose 1 or 2 lbs per week.

I need to stock up on nuts...

I didn't buy into many things in the documentary. It was the animals that bothered me. BTW, I am from the hog plant area in North Carolina so I grew up smelling pigs and watching chickens head to the slaughter (all my friends work at those plants). I can't change how it made me feel. I do however disagree with some…

On average I get between 45g- about 60g, unless I'm supplementing with shakes, then it's more.

Thanks! It seems I have been grocery shopping a million times this week. Slowly but surely I am getting my pantry in order. I appreciate your help. My co-workers just told me to keep quinoa handy... I absolutely hate it but will try again :neutral:

Thank you thank you thank you! I really appreciate the help and that you took my question seriously! Thanks! I have been eating tofu and it's growing on me. And I have not tried the processed stuff simply because even eating meat etc, I don't eat much processed food. My issue is wine :blush:

Oh and just an update!! I am a few days short of 2 weeks. Still no desire to eat meat.

It is a moral reason. My disclaimer was meant for people just like you. If you don't want to help, that's fine. But don't think for a minute that your rude comments and trying to call my bluff is going to make me feel some type of way. I don't apologize if seeing a slaughter house has completely made me not meat right now.…

chuck roast with carrots and potatoes!

I've done keto on and off for some time. First, warning, the carb flu. For about a week, I felt very lethargic and tired. I lost too much weight too fast. But I was not counting calories at the time. I noticed that the majority of foods I would flock to were very unhealthy, so I started eating more fish. My niece lost 40…

It's about....800?? Maybe less, of course this is on sedentary days. When I exercise, I eat back what I burn to keep my calories at 1200 and no lower.

I'm ready!

That's good to know because I was so disappointed in myself! But good days still outweigh the bad, so I know I'm on the right path...

If I can, I will go longer. Just setting a small goal that's attainable for now.

No, no steroids for me! I'm happy with my results thus far. Even though I weigh more than I did before my birthday, I look better now. So I can definitely tell that the weight lifting is playing a huge part!

You look incredible! Thank you!

oh yeah and I am doing 3 day/full body and LOVE IT!

All of the advice has been EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!! I ended up backing my protein to around 118 daily, sometimes higher, but never lower than 100g. Still eating from 1400-1600 a day (mind you in I get a 500 calorie workout in, I eat those 500). I want to minimize muscle loss while being in a deficit. I only weigh weekly, and…

I agree! If calories in vs calories out are the goal, why not fill in my calories with protein to prevent muscle wasting on my deficit?! Of course I wrote the post lol because I am NO expert in this field at all.

Awesome advice, thanks so much! I have learned to be more lenient and still have great results!!

You hang in there! Just like with learning to tie a shoe, one day it just "clicks". And thank you!

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm in, I have lost 1 pound a week for 6 weeks consistently. I think its a wonderful and achievable goal! From 160 to 154!

I eat all of them back.

Thanks so much! I have officially put the scale away. I'm eating in a deficit and going to the gym, so I KNOW I'm doing the right thing.

Ok perfect! I downloaded the program.

PHUL? I'll look it up.

hahaha yes! lol :D

That motivates me! Thank you!

And last week I lost 2 lbs!
