I’m a macros tracker. I struggled in till I started tracking over 8 years ago. It allows me to understand how balanced I’m eating, make intelligent choices (sometimes you want to eat the garbage), and hold myself accountable. If I’m hungry, I go for volume, if I’m not, I focus on hitting my protein numbers. It allows me a…

None. I’m a fan of adding, not subtracting. So if I wanted hummus, I would also have a turkey sandwich, or turkey roll ups, with a cut up pepper, tomato’s, pretzels AND 2 tablespoons of hummus. Enough that I can I have the taste, but plenty of other stuff to make me feel satiated.

P28 wraps. Just ordered some!

@iheartmakeup01 That’s helpful perspective.

5’6, 123-126 lbs depending on the day. My home scale, which measures body fat says 23%... but my trainer has said that can not be correct and it has to be lower. When I say I want to lose a few pounds (to normal / non-gym people) they think I’m crazy, but there is some fat on my belly and a little under my triceps (that…

Thanks @psulemon !

@sardelsa I’m close to on target with protein... I’ve done a few calculators for macros. Still not really clear on where I should end up. Is there a particular program for macros you like?
-
Weighted abs sound appealing. I will start looking up options today. Any suggestions?
-
@Anvil_Head That’s tremendously frustrating. :-) @psuLemon I’m open to that. When you say this, is it all over muscle?
-
I’m having the issue... although not as lean as you. :)

Feel free to friend me. Open diary

Please feel free to add me. 1495 calorie goal. Open diary. I’ve been on here pretty consistently for about 3 years. I’m in the beginning of switching from tracking calories to tracking macros (which still measures out to the same about of calories). We will see how that goes.

Feel Free to add me as well. Open diary, switching from calorie logging to macros. :)

@peaceout_aly That’s a terrific question! I do a ton of abs in Pilates, on and off the reformer. But it is really repetitive because I am always practicing for a test. I wonder if weighted abs would make a difference. If you look just at my face, back and limbs I really don’t have much fat to loose... but my belly is…

@jessef593 I’ve been a calorie counter this entire time, not caring about macros. This is the first time I am going to add in looking at macros instead of just pure calories. @AnnPT77 Super helpful! Thank you. That is exactly what I am looking for
-
Open diaries for ideas, support for when we are off track, etc As far as macros vs calories, I’m referring to counting macros (which yes, do add up to a specific calorie count). But I’m more interested in tweaking my eating around (what I believe) my macros should be and seeing how the change in the balance of my food…

I listen while I drive.. So not sure if they will work for you. But... I liked Girl On A Train, Gone Girl, The Maze Runner, Replay, Flash Forward, The First 15 Lives of Harry. I also heard The Fold, The Girl With All The Gifts and Pretty Girls - All three were pretty darn disturbing.
-
I'm looking forward to all the support and motivation.
-
Great!
-
Feel free to add me too. I have been around about 3 months (this time). I am slowly and steadily loosing and have no plans to go away. :smiley: HW 168 CW 147.2 GW 135 - then examine my goals. I have a 125 wish, but we will see. Age 45

Please count me in and add me to the group. I searched for it, but couldn't find it. This group is exactly what I am looking for :) I am 45 with one amazing daughter. I started at 168 and then started logging around 164/163. Today I weigh 147.2, about 3 months later.

I just friended you.
