I'm working my way up to curling 20lb weights soon! I just hit 15lb weights! :smile:

You look fantastic! Maybe try to lift a bit and continue eating at maintenence to see if that tightens things up? Also, you should feel great! You didn't gain any weight! That means that whatever you're eating must be accurate for maintaining.

Some veggies I don't bother with it, but fruit I definitely do. Fruits affect my carb macros a lot every day I'd say it makes up almost a third or more.

I think if you treat it like no big deal around your child (and it sounds like you have that down - especially by not worrying about it at restaurants :smile: ) it'll be fine. I think similiarly to you - I feel that my logging is the only way I can maintain my weight. I often long to go back a few years to where I could…

Thanks for the information! I am starting occasional sessions with a trainer soon and this is good to know going into to it.

This happens to me too!

I had so much anxiety buying my new headphones. Literally ripped the cord out of the jack on my old corded ones. I got MPOW cheetah headphones on amazon. Their customer service looks amazing. Every negative review (and there weren't too many) of them was replied too by the company and they sent them a different pair to see…

Hella good. Jerk shrimp, tons of fruit, and an m + m cookie.

The weight training would help with her gaining lean mass along with the healthy fat mass she needs, but I think it would only prove effective enough if she's eating a surplus. It sounds like you're trying to do a lot of different things and doing your best. I think one of your best ideas is encouraging the peanut butter,…

If you do not have time to prep a meal, I'm guessing that the bar at your workplace is run by a larger food catering company. If you ask, I'm sure they'll tell you how to find the nutrition information. Then you can work it into your day more easily.

My goals this week are to hit my 2000 cals a day with 100g of protein at least. I also want to do leg training tommorow morning, and arms on thursday.

Nice profile pic, first off, lol! I would personally log it for today's food diary if it occurred at that time for simplicities sake. A lot of people focus on weekly calories with success so I don't think a couple hours of difference should effect things too much for you!

I go to bed in my clean workout clothes so I can just lace up and go. I pack my bag the night before, fill my water/mix my BCAA in a bottle and put in the fridge. It's so hard to get going sometimes but I just keep telling myself how good i'll feel once I get going. The rest of the day feels soooooo much better after I…

I like lifting. I wish it burned as many calories as cardio in such a short amount of time.

A full 24 hour calendar day without a workout. A walk is the most I'll do. I just take these as I need.

My daily protein intake because of my lifting (and I'm a woman) is 100g+ some days. I totally feel ya it can be super hard to hit it. Peanut butter helps me in a pinch, but normally I add cottage cheese to my meals (low sodium) or a protein powder into oatmeal or milk. Halo top ice cream is also amazing for adding 24g to…

Thats really smart! When I hit 16 my parents started letting me learn money and food management by giving me a budget and letting me purchase our food for our packed lunches for the week. I quickly learned how to make healthy, filling, and fun lunches for relatively cheap! It helped me learn my way around a wallet and a…

I usually do a fasted workout because I get cramps if I eat, but if my workout is later in the morning I can have yogurt and it doesn't bother me.

Hello everyone! I'm Kat and I started my healthy lifestyle when I got to college. I had never exercised before, but when I got to this new place where no one knew me I figured it was a great time to start fresh! I have always been underweight and have struggled with disordered eating, but exercising and weightlifting have…

I had Recomposition reccomended to me over in the maintaining weight forum. I think maybe it would help you too!

I feel a lot like that sometimes too. I try to wear clothes that make me feel comfortable (nothing too tight) and try to avoid looking in mirrors when possible except when getting ready otherwise I get tempted to overanalyze. I'm underweight but feel like I should slim down sometimes, but I've refocused on gaining muscle…

Whenever I eat out, I overestimate calories rather than underestimate just to be on the safe side.

Increased protein works for a lot of people

I think their suggestion would just be more efficient, but not necessarily better. If you like what you're doing and see results I'd say stick to it!!! Sounds like you're doing amazing!!! :smile:

Is that the same guy who was dragged off the united flight?

mushrooms and spinach!

There are plenty of ways to make your sandwich a wise choice. The problem comes when people thing that just because they're at a subway that no matter what they get is a good choice. Subway doesn't claim that it's chicken bacon ranch is healthy, or that the meatball sandwich is healthy.They promote their 'fresh fit'…

I get the feeling you don't really want help since you're dismissing people's ideas. You have to make time for things that are important. Wake up 15 minutes earlier to weigh things, and save a little money or work an extra hour or two if you can to buy a food scale. Test your logging. You've also been told that it would be…

@crazyycatladyy1 thats a very good reminder I need to keep in mind! Thank you.

Oh my gosh you look amazing!!!
