When I do it and not eat my weight in Danish.

FYI it's not fasting if you consume calories in your coffee. :-P I opt for for 17/7 daily. Consuming all my calories between 12pm-7pm.

I agree with the above. HIIT is awesome! Also changing your macros. Sometimes it's not the amount of calories that's the problem, but the %. Also maybe look into intermittent fasting.

My pants are lonely. I can't fit into them and they sit ... Alone and abandoned in my drawers. I don't want to pay for more clothes. Or go back on meds. Keeping active keeps me sane.

Yay! I used to be pretty fit ... I have no excuse. I know what I need to do! Haha! I'm really bad about checking in, but maybe a chance to chat with one of my favorite pod cast hosts about macros will be some good motivation :-P Xoxo

Yes. To be honest with just 12-15 minutes a day of real work you will see results. Promise. That's all I did when I started training (used to be a runner) within a few months I had a six pack. I was thin to start with ... But if you are feeding your body what it needs. Protein nutrients water. You can see great results…

Does anyone else's posts just get screwy on here. Words are missing etc. in above. It's so weird. And it cuts me off :/

I have to be careful with my abs. I just can't do certain things. As far as certain areas being more responsive "gaining" at a higher rate than other parts? Not that I can tell. Though it may appear that way in my butt/thighs at time. Butt that's because I have a layer of padding there

It cut me off! It does go away though ;)

If I haven't worked out in awhile I get itchy legs. It's very uncomfortable and wearing any leggings exasperates it. Maybe it's detergent or soap. I am sensitive to that sort of thing. I can't use fabric softener etc. Or sweat glands working again after a long hiatus.

I like the Nike Training app. I can throw headphones on or put on my Bluetooth speaker and have someone tell me what to do. (You can still play your choice of music!) Not of fan of working out in front of the tv but insanity was alright :) You can also get an interval timer app and plan your own workouts. 50 seconds work…

What do you like to do? The thing that you are more likely to do will be the best ;) I would recommend with body weight exercises. Strength training is the way to go. Incorporate some More intense interval workouts. There are loads of free resources. Even the Nike training app. Download it and start doing them everyday.…

20%P is really low ...

You disagree we are all genetically different?

I work out entirely at home ... :) with much success. You have to get creative with your weights. I own some but not enough ;) I have a pull up bar, treadmill, jump rope. And true you don't HAVE to work out to lose weight. But why would you?! As you gain muscle you will have a faster metabolism (more food!), weight…

I do it more for convenience. I'm not eating at 4:30 in the morning.

The idea is you have no reserves so your body switches to fat burning faster. It's well documented. Body builders have been doing it for years. Like with everything. It depends on the person and their body. We are all unique. And I drink coffee before/during.

I have never been to a gym ... Because of this sort of thing! Bah! I'd be a weight hoarder :/

Yup, pretty much the same. I work out first thing before my brain really comprehends what we are doing. ;) I wake up very slowly. Exercise helps of course. I sleep in my workout clothes.

My fav is vanilla protein powder, blueberries, raspberries, spinach, flaxseed and a bit of plain Greek yogurt. Coffee, chocolate protein powder and PB2 is ok too. I prefer the taste of berries. My husband likes the dole frozen mixed fruit (mango, pineapple ??) cherries, spinach, flaxseed and honey.

As of what you should change it too ... Everyone is different it's trial and error. Consider seeing a coach. They will set you up with macro goals and change depending on how your body responds. They also have tools to adequately test your base calorie rate and True BF%.

I do 40/30/30 4 days a week. I have been on and off fitness for years. That's the winning combination for best results for me :) I do a slightly higher carb day Wednesday and Sunday. And a cheat day Sat. I don't track calories so much ... I keep an eye on it, but if I'm truely hungry I eat. Even at 40% it's not considered…

Essential if you want to poop. And not be malnourished. ;)

Depends on the protien powder you choose. Mix with water frozen berries and spinach. I'm not talking about premade "meal replacement" high in fake sugars and other junk. And even with a processed protien drink. At least you are getting fat and protien not empty sugar/carbs in cereal.

Hard boiled eggs and a banana ;) Maybe just one full egg and a few whites. Deviled eggs made ahead of time. (You can substitute the mayo) Ezekiel toast. Eggs Protein shake. Greek yogurt. Rolled up turkey and sliced avocado. Eggs with salsa and avocado. PB on Ezekiel bread. Hmmmm those are my quick go to's.

Yay! Slow and steady build new habits.

The scale will tell you what you weigh. It can't tell you you your body percentages. (There are these cool machines called the bod pod ... Pretty neat there are also machines you breath into that can give an accurate base daily calorie rate) It's just a tool to track progress, but it can't tell you the whole picture. I…

I don't agree with the default settings. So there. Haha! The carbs are way too high and fat and protein way too low.

Something premade? I would recommend making your own. Cheaper in the long run and better for you.
