Great advice!!

I totally forgot about the noodles!! I believe they are 0 calories I think I bought them on netrition! They aren't toooo...bad tasting! Lol

Starting weight Jan 1st: 156 lbs Cw : 148 Lost 8 lbs in January I was shooting for 10-12 lb loss Ugw: 140 lbs

I'm in 5'6 Cw- today 148 Gw by Feb 29 140 Ugw: 140 I'm going for 8 lbs.

I agree! I add 1- cheat day a week. It shakes up the metabolism ( I think?) I don't go totally crazy! Approx: An extra 500-600 calories than my usual 1200 for one day only. Plus it gives me something to look forward too! quote="Miss_Mabee;35277037"]Well it definitely looks like a healthy meal plan you have going on there!…

I just don't have the patience for 1 pound a week lose! Once I get to my goal weight its much easier to " maintain" ...than the loosing phase! I thought today - why in the he** did I forget to weigh myself once a week!?!? Lol! If you go up a pound or two cut the crap food for a week or two! Ugh!! I probably didn't weigh…

I really like the special k brown sugar protein cereal! 3/4 c. 110 calories - I will put it in a bowl and snack on it while I watch tv- it does tear up the roof of my mouth! Lol but who cares!

Konjac capsules. Sometimes I don't get dinner until 830pm - between 5-8 ...I'm freaking starving I take about 4-5 of those. Its some kind of fiber that swells

5'6 40 ish - yrs old Cw 151 Gw 140 maybe 135 ?? I do calorie count 1200 day

Omg! That smoothie carrot cake I'm definitely going to try!! I just got one of those bullet mixer things - I put some vanilla Greek yogurt in the freezer last night ...I was going to put frozen yogurt, a cup of keurig Starbucks cinnamon coffee and vanilla protein powder in bullet - hoping for all in one breakfast!…

I'm am in better shape now than I was in my 20's - I competed in my first bodybuilding competition when I was 40! So YES - you can absolutely be in your best shape at 40! And "cringe" I also did fitness bikini contest! However I am not an exibishionist by nature - so standing on a stage half naked was NOT for me!! Hell my…

I'm in! Down 3 lbs. This week! 1200 calories a day - w/o 2-3 days a week. Eating smaller meals every three hours or so.

5'6 starting weight 155 Cw 150 Gw 140 Down 3 lbs this week!!! Goal - keep loosing 3lbs a week!

I do 1200 cal wk - I workout 3x a week - 30 min cardio then 1 hour of weight lifting. I loose 3 lbs a week doing this - I also have a cheat day to shake up my metabolism on Fridays. Some people may frown on the cheat day - but it keeps me on track knowing Friday I can stray! I don't go crazy - I just may have ice cream,…

I'm down 3 lbs this week - and I didn't eat the extra calories. I guess I could've had some - and lost 2lbs? Idk? Everyone is different ?! I may add 100-200 on workout nights

I think its an age/ horomone thing - the belly fat - can be estrogen dominance. I use progesterone cream and it really helps w/ belly fat. There is a lot of information / quiz's online to see if you are estrogen dominant. I highly suggest checking them out. It has helped me tremendously!!

Just the consistent 1200 calories you should drop approx 2 lbs a week maybe more in the beginning. I workout 3 days a week and stick to 1200 cal. And I have lost 3 lbs a week on average. Of course age etc would factor in too. I'm 43

Be careful with that! Last night it gave me 600 calorie credit!! I do work out hard, cardio 30 min and weight training for an hour - however no way in heck am I going to eat 600 more calories! I typically loose 2.5 - 3 lbs a week - 1200 calories a day and hitting the gym every other day - I also have a cheat day on…

If my daily calorie goal is 1200 - I thought adding an extra 600 was crazy!! And really how accurate is an app at knowing exactly how many calories you burned? Btw- I always have a small protein shake after a workout it helps w/ hunger. 100 calories

This is what I do- glucose tablets! The are sold in the diabetic section of any drugstore usually 2 rolls of 15 for $3 - I work 10 hour days about 5-6 pm I crash! These are a lifesaver! 15 calories each - they work fast! Usually I only need 1

What are your eating habits? 3 times a day? I eat more frequent smaller meals and the hunger isn't too bad! Every couple hours 100 calories + protein!! Night time is the monkey on my back!! I do a mental trick at night - If I'm thinking of a snack etc - I say ...to myself lol - Go to bed! If I still want it in the morning…

I've used mfp once before for competition - over 35 figure and bikini - you want to talk about a tough diet!!! You should try body building diet! Blah!! I dont compete anymore too many politics. Anyway!! Gained 10 lbs over the holidays - was 154 - shooting for 140 ish - I do lift weights and workout a lot I'm 5'6 size 6/7…

Also a plateau to me is 2 weeks w/ no lose - 4-6 weeks, that's crazy!

If you are being 100% honest and not cheating - then you need to shake things up a bit - your body is adapting to what you are doing. Change the foods you are eating. If you are eating more calories at night - then switch - eat less at night more in the morning. I know I'm going to get flack for this but you may want to…

I don't understand why you are only doing cardio and not pushing yourself at the gym? Add some exercises with weights!! The more muscle you have the more fat you burn. Don't worry your not going to get huge like Arnold!! Remember no pain no gain!

Add me too

I may be able to help - I've competed in women's fitness body building completions
