I gotcha 😊 I guess what I was meaning was that I know protein is required to repair muscle and I was wondering if one source worker more efficiently in that. Thanks so much!

Yeah I try not to drink them but I have a hard time getting an adequate amount of protein, especially now that I’ve started weight lifting. Typically I’m hitting maybe 30 grams a day without supplementation, so I’m keeping them around while I try and uptake my protein with food sources😊

You got this girl!

I have an Apple Watch!

I added you all :)

Hey guys, I posted this in a different forum but thought this one was more suitable 😊

You got this ❤️

Hey Benji! Glad you’re making a lifestyle change for yourself! Good luck on your journey ❤️

Yes girl!! congratulations!! This happened to me when I stopped eating out all of the time, and cut out soda and sweet tea (my favorite) in order to save money! Would love to stay connected and keep each other motivated!

I live in IL! :) would love to make some new friends :)

Hey, you seem pretty knowledgeable and give good input around this community. I was wondering, (I know everyone is different) would you say that it takes 2 months or more until your body starts burning fat? I'm loosing now but I know its water weight...

Hi there, thanks for your input :) Ive been following Dr. Eric Berg on youtube and he suggests 1-2 meals a day, so that what I've been trying. Im 5'2. Recently went from 165-152, but my temporary goal is to get to 130. Ive been getting between 800-1000 calories in per day.

But are you eating a lot of grams? Because my macros are 25% protein but still only consists of a small amount of grams

Thanks for clearing that up, I definitely would’ve taken that the wrong way

With the one meal a day, I’ve been getting about 600/700 calories.. but I haven’t been hungry either except late at night

Count me in! :)

I am 5'2 and I weigh about about 150 pounds. I don't know my BMR or any percentage of body fat or any of that jazz. I workout about 4/5 times a week.

By stats I'm assuming you mean height, weight, etc?

Yes in a calorie deficit. I’m eating 1200 a day, still clean eating though, along with exercise!

Wow, those are great results! Good job, keep it up!

Hi there 😊 I’m trying to lose about 30/40 pounds (long term goal) I’m 5’2 and I weight about 160. I’m now in a calorie deficit eating 1200 calories and I workout everyday. Scale is decreasing but of course seeing the difference will take time I’m learning.

sounds simple enough and delicious! thanks! ill keep this in mind :)

Sounds yummy to me! Thank you guys!

Been on MFP before, but trying to stick to it and be more productive this time around :) would love a good support group to hold each other accountable!

Haha, thats funny. Crazy though! I think ill stick to more nutritious foods for now ;)

Wow, thats interesting! Definitely going to try and find what works for my body and try eat a realistic amount of calories! Thanks for the info!

Of course you should. Are you sure 1200 is an appropriate goal for you? That's usually for the particularly short, sedentary, older ladies. [/quote] To be honest, I have no idea what is appropriate for me, I just picked the lowest caloric goal I could sustain for a few months. I eat from 12pm-8pm and usually have no hunger…

Yeah, trust me I definitely appreciate the nutrition in a nice piece of homemade chocolate cake :p But I'm eating 1200 calories a day so I'm saving MOST of my calories for big and nutritious meals. <3

Thanks :)
