I thought keeping up with drinks was logging your water... Then it hit me that it is probably for alcohol? My poor little naive mind 😇

Opps.... Don't know how 🤣

I want to also change my steps but funny know how???

My macros are 20% carbs, 30% fats, 50% protein. I started counting macros about a month ago and it has really helped me know what to eat. I lift weights and am trying to lean up too 😁. I am really enjoying this macro thing. Would love to keep up with how your macros are going and keep me accountable as well 😋

How are you liking MFP? You can add me if you like 😁

I started macro counting about a month ago and have had the biggest lose of weight yet. I love it and wished I had started a long time ago. I lift weights 5 days a week at night and HIIT training during lunch 4 days a week. Every day I eat 240g of protein and around 115g of carbs. I don't keep up with my fats except to…

Nutrition is the hard part... Exercise is easier 😃

Feel free to add me. Been lifting awhile. It is a big function of what you eat and sleeping.

Try putting chalk on the bottom of your shoes... If that is allowed.

Count me in 😎

My advice is log what you think you will eat in snacks. Figure out your total calories with that. Then add the foods into breakfast, lunch and dinner and delete that food from snacks. Let me know what you think? I am open to ideas also.

Congratulations on your great start! 3 more weeks and it will be a habit 😁 I also want to loose 20 more pounds.

We all need accountability. Count me in 😁

Hi Unicorn - we all need motivation... especially me. Wishing you the best and you have done the hardest part... getting started 😉

Hi Courtney - yes I am a power lifter. Have you completed? Looking to do my first meet.

I think a scale is critical when counting calories with macros...protein, fat, carbohydrates. Trying to keep my total calories around 2000, protein at 240g, carbohydrates at 200g and letting fats make up the difference in calories. I have been doing this for about a month and I have lost over 10 lbs. Also I am doing…

Male, 49 and 258 lbs today. I thought I would join before I was too old. I love lifting weights and cycling. I am not really that much overweight but trying to lose down to 240 lbs. Want to compete in a weightlifting competition at 240 lbs when I turn 50 and break a few records. Never used steroids and hate them with a…

Does anyone have a typical template to follow for this challenge?

Hi Serena, I am very much a gym rat. Go 7 days a week. I am great at lifting but the eating is the hardest part. I just started tracking my macros and carb cycling. I am trying to figure out the sweet spot with the calories with the right ratio of carbs and days. I am always starving and need the energy to push heavy…
