Dates, bananas, coffee, or a pre workout if I really want to be bouncing off the walls.

Hungry.

Stick with it, even when you trip up and you'll reach those goals. I wish you well. Welcome to MFP.

I don't usually eat back those cals, but when I do, I keep it below 50%. They're over estimated. This is one of the reasons why we see so many "I'm at a deficit, but am not losing weight" threads here. There is a thread on here that I found very interesting, it also covered your question on the effects this has on…

Hiit and steady cardio. I'd also hit my legs properly, every other day. Work the legs with all the different movements you can think of. Since you're not gonna be lifting weights, use this time to work on muscle endurance with Bodyweight movements. Squats, jumping squats, lunges, jumping lunges, well you get the idea. If…

As long as you're on a deficit, yes.

This.

This. I would also incorporate some form of cardio as well.

Give it 3 months and you'll definitely see a difference. I saw a huge difference after 6 months. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Secondary reason, yes, my wife finds it hot. My muscle mass increased after I kept a long beard, even whilst on a deficit (some might attribute that to noob gains, I think they're suffering from beard envy). True story.

Agreed. Do you even shoulders though? Why not just follow a routine that's been proven to work and make a few tweaks of your own? See post above.

Only one way to solve this, has anyone got op's boyfriend on speed dial?

I agree and experienced this myself.

Exactly, as soon as I put my earbuds in, that's it. The fate of the world depends upon me.

Just go out for a walk. Increase pace every few minutes. Then jog. No one even notices joggers, it's all in your head.

Lips and this:

Losing fat will reveal that nice flat stomach. Working the core, abs, and obliques will make them muscles bigger/denser. I'd suggest in addition to the crunches, you add the following: Leg raises Knee raises Planks Side planks Russian twists Dumbbell side bends If you're lifting as well, then movements like deadlifts,…

Maybe op got charged with assault. I really hope she went home and deadlifted the boyfriend for reps.

^This What I wrote in another thread:

Exactly, cause he doesn't eat his bananas. Bananas are kryptonite to this guy.

I have never seen Banana Man obese. Sure, he most probably slipped and fell a few times due to them idiotic shoes he insisted on wearing. But obese? Never.

This has helped me immensely, it's always in my bag: I almost always use it on back day. Maybe use straps when your grip starts failing. Also, why 8 reps? I don't see the need to go above 6 reps. My personal opinion btw. I see it primarily as a strength exercise. 6 sets of 4-6 is my usual goto. Look into chalk/liquid chalk…

Before Freely, there was Banana Man. Banana Man was right all along. They cancelled that cartoon because people started to catch on. They used a tactic called hiding in plain sight. #IlluminatiConfirmed

You folks need to let it go man, just agree to disagree or toss a coin or something. Op, start lifting weights and get strong. Next time your bf tells you to do anything, grab his neck and feet, then proceed to deadlift him for reps.

I am the evidence. I am hiding in London cause the meat industry has put my name on a hit list.

I know men and women who have been in relationships like this and worse, it's a reality for many.
