Day 7 : rest

i have this problem too. Especially right now, ive been very consistent in dieting and working out for the last two weeks with pretty high deficit and im 2 lbs heavier. I know it has to be water weight, i have been doing pretty physical workouts and the muscles do retain water when they need to repair/recover. When they…

Awesome job!

Day 6 : 90 pushups Monthly total : 450 pushups

Right on! lets do this! And great job 180 pushups a day is a lot!

Got it! then again ya theoretically you should still lose 0.5lbs (give or take)

Theoretically if you end close to 10850 then your deficit for the week will be close to 0 and you wont either gain or lose. Remember 1 lb = 3,500 calories, so to lose 0.5 lb a week you need to be 1,750 under your weekly total.

Day 5 : 90 pushups Monthly total : 360 pushups

I should have probably started out saying i am no longer taking diet pills and i think that you do not need them at all to lose weight. Lol, i just believe that with the right ones (90% doesnt work) and utilizing the energy and appetite suppressing you get from them while working out and dieting in a deficit you can get to…

Because when i took the diet pills it was like i drank 4-6 cups of coffee and the energy lasted all day. When i worked out without the pills i would do like 1.5 hours and only exerted around 70% energy. While working out with the pills i would get over 3+ hours and exerted 90% energy and still feel like i can go run a…

I never said i loved them i only said i had success with them. They were not placebo trust me. I tried many different brands and only found 2 that actually worked. How do i know they were not placebo you ask? Because the 2 that i took got banned and they had to come out with new series with weaker ingredients. You cannot…

I tried many different brands of diet pills the first time i was losing weight. There was 2 brands out of all the ones i tried that actually made me feel like i didn't waste my money. The 2 brands gave me ample amounts of energy, it was like i drank 4-6 cups of coffee and that energy lasted all day long. Working out…

Yea mfp users hate diet pills for some reason. I however used them for some time and had success. But i now know in hindsight that they were only working for me because i was exercising regularly and ate in a deficit strictly. Read any diet pill bottle and it will say something along the lines of "Will not work unless…

I always have a 3lb bag of frozen boneless skinless chicken breast in my freezer as well as a good season to splash on it. Nice and simple but healthy and tasty.

I find that thinking on how my future is going to benefit from what i do now to be helpful.

Day 4 : Rest

I like to workout in the morning for sure and if i have extra energy at night time i might even do a second workout. Before a meal is what i like or an hour or two after eating a meal. I don't like working out with foot heavy in my stomach. But thats just me, its all about personal preference

If i want to drink and get hammered i would plan to do it on the night before my rest day. So if i do get a hangover its ok because im resting anyways. But if thats not enough then like someone said just dont drink enough to get a hangover.

Well a big one for me on keeping my fitness fun would be music. I can close my eyes and get lost forgetting that i am working out. Last night on the treadmill i had my eyes closed and was bobbing my head to the music with a smile on my face, but you must have good music! To keep eating healthy fun I love the process of…

Day 3 : 90 pushups Monthly total : 270 pushups

I think it really depends on your goals and how much as well as how fast you want to achieve them. For me there has only been a couple days in my 7 month journey where i just felt lazy and skipped working out. I have had a few days that i needed to rest and recover which will happen if you workout hard. I still feel lazy…

I bought an ab mat and i am really liking it. It essentially makes you able to do full sit ups by yourself without having to lock your feet under something. Plus it makes it easy for your back. It was only 20$.

Pickles are 0 calorie and i love it as a snack. Eating low sodium sunflower seeds for an hour straight is only 100 calories. Vegetables such as zucchini, asparagus, cucumbers and squash are very low calorie for a high amount of them. Boneless skinless chicken breast is 450 calories for a 12oz breast, very filling and high…

I found a trick. When i work out i try to flex as many muscles as i can. It makes me breath harder and i can definitely feel it in my muscles. You can try this next time you workout. And yes when you take time to breath you are allowing your body a break. If you can try to push yourself, unless you really really need a…

Im 3/4 to my goal and have about 25-30 lbs left to lose. I try to help and be supportive any way i can. Im down to join you guys

I started this yesterday so: Day 1 : 90 pushups Day 2 : 90 pushups Monthly total : 180 pushups

Yea this is probably the best way to attack this. I didnt look at the scale until i gained 50lbs so if you can spot when it is starting to make you gain weight you can then try to attack the problem. If they do make you gain weight you can always see if you can get prescribed new anxiety meds that is known to not make…

When i had 100lb to lose i did 95% cardio 5% weights. When i had 50lb to lose i did 80% cardio and 20% weights. Now i have 25 lb to lose and still doing like 70% cardio and 30% weights. When i had 0 lb to lose (in the past) i was doing 25% cardio and 75% weights. I also considered pushups and crunches as weights and did a…
