I am also 5'4 at 1500 calories, I dont track my exercise but I do gym 5 days a week. When she tells you that you will lose you probably will just not fast like it seems you are wanting. I tried doing the whole 1200 calorie thing and its just not easy for me. I lift weights and do cardio and my work outs suffered eating…

I just answered my own question... but how was the bacon, peanutbutter and apple on a sandwich?!?!

Ready to shred that last 20, looking for friends to keep up and motivate each other! Feel free to add lets do this!

My favorite is choc chip cookie dough- cut into squares and popped in the microwave for a few seconds just to soften them its delish! Also like smore and do the same thing with it. Cookies and cream is good, I havent tried any fruit flavors as I am not that brave! I didnt like the choc mint when I had it and I just bought…

I hear this strong lift comment every where I go on here! I do isolation but from the sounds of it since I have been stalled the 5x5 program is worth a try!!

for sure!!

@dstock47 one is a fit bit the other is a thin blue line bracelet no need for 2 lol

C4 or Evl- grape is my fave or watermelon- you can purchase at GNC or bodybuilding.com which is my favorite, they ship super fast!

And my day in the office drags on

This^^^ I was doing a morning and night shake too but it got to be alot of liquid so I would make things and add powder to it. Or if you want substance I like Quest bars- I know some are against them but I think they are DELISH!!

I biked 18.76 miles on my "mountian bike" from walmart at 11mph average pace. Bent rims and all this was a hard task, needless to say its time for a new bike if I want to do distance! Good burn though!

I do this--- my baggies are one serving of crackers- 70 calories. 1 pouch of Tuna 90 calories- 1 ounce of almonds ect. Its grabbing more than one bag and just not paying much attention in the time frame that I am home that is hurting me!

@jcow84 good idea, we have a great room so the dinning, kitchen and living room are all just one big space I might occupy myself with laundry or dishes or something to keep myself busy while talking as well! Thank you all!!!

I stopped tracking my exercise because it was just kinda nerve racking for me, I would enter in a whole days worth of food so that I would have an idea of what calories I was at, knowing that at work out I would burn some but still seeing that number say I was over just freaked me out. So I am going to try staying at 1500…

I think i might try all week to stay busy and not hang out while he is eating. Maybe that will help me stay away from the snacks- I don't know if its because he is eating, or I just feel a tad hungry at that time and end up eating more than just a little snack!

well last week I measured out almonds and raisins, crackers for my tuna pouches, made containers of fresh cut up fruit, and also snack mix- ( has pretzals, peanuts, PB chips ect) in little bags so they were all in single portions. But the thing is I dont need to be snacking I dont think, since i normally have a snack at…

If I could be as faithful with my eating on the weekend as I am during the week I would be at goal by now. This love affair with food is causing me conflicting heart ache!

Same problem here my lower body in general is just big, but I did notice when I first started and was running more that they started getting smaller. Like previous posters have said you cant spot reduce but if you keep losing weight you will get there, or just have big muscular legs! Either way own it!

Iowa- Southern part!

I guess I am just looking for some healthy variety is the whole reason for asking the question, maybe not as much which one is better.... Just like bacon I prefer Turkey now that I have tried it!! I love beef patties too dont get my wrong just looking outside my "normal diet" :)

That sounds really good !! I am just now getting into trying "new" things for me, Turkey burger was one of those, I have also recently tried turkey bacon and prefer it over pork by far!!

You are a beast! Way to go!! I have never maxed out I just do reps as well, My heaviest bench is 95 pounds so far, and 340 on leg press, I havent really paid much attention to others!

ok I just didnt know if some people put them on salads or used them differently! Thanks for the comments!!

I agree lifting weights I have never been sick like that but after a really long cardio training yes!! Hope you find answers and don't give up on the weights!

5'4 and at 187 I was wearing a 16 and XL or L---- 158lbs a 8-10 or Med----140 a 7-8 and medium or Small My lower body- mainly the booty and thighs is large so being any smaller than a 6 or 7 is very unlikely!!

Mine today is roasted pepper hummus and pretzals, but roasted almonds or dry roasted peanuts are good with a cheese stick. Couple slices of lunch meat and a slice of cheese. Those pre made snack mixes. Tuna creations 1 serving and some crackers. Veggies. Your options are endless!!! I also cut fresh fruit and portion it out…

great transformation!! I love lifting weights as well and agree those who dont are missing out!!!

I started at 187 and currently Im at 158... they are smaller but still there.... I really noticed them alot less at 140lbs but I dont know if they ever really completely go away, for me anyways i would have to be at a really low body fat more than likely!
