Hi! Mesomorph here. Knowing that I'm a mesomorph made a huge difference on why this time is working/different than other attempts. Also, I learned my pattern by looking at my tracking from before. I learned 1)moderate is key! (12000 cals is to low for me) 1370 is right and no more super intense 6-7 dy/wk workout protocol.…

I do own food scale and use it religiously. I will up my cals.. I'm just scared to but I think y'all are so helpful! Thank you!!! I want to succeed so badly.

Thanks ladies. I'll try to eat 1500 every day and see how that goes. I find it hard not to blow my macros. So to make things easier I eat closer to 1300 most days but then I blow it about once a week. SueinAz thank you for pointing that out to me. It probably was obvious on the outside looking in but I was overthinking it…

Many people in fitness eat 1gram per pound of body weight. I can't get mine that high. I'd say base it off how satiated you feel. Hungry? Eat more high quality protein. I'd say you could easily go all the way to 100 grams plus without out negative effects.

Hi! I joined a little over a week ago and LOVE this site. I am getting real results using the tracker on here. Yay! Just what I needed after 8 weeks of mediocre results (on the scale anyway).

Calorie deficit, track macros, run. At least thats what I'm doing.

Hi! I did 8 weeks on beach body and plateau'd early on. Just switched to MFP this week and saw 2.4 pounds fly off! MFP has me eating way more carbs and a little more calories. Yay!

Thanks ladies for your replies!

Wow that so great! Maybe with beachbody I was getting more cals than I knew...
