first if you said you have been training for 6 years and you are competing I would say you probably ought to should use it, cause everyone else on that stage is, but... since you have only been at it for six months (not being rude, it just takes years and years to build your body) just be patient, be natural, be healthy I…

it's 90% diet and only 10% exercise, the easiest calories to burn are the ones you don't put in your mouth in the first place I can relate as I have lost some weight and want to reduce my body fat down to 15% (which is healthy normal for a guy) I'm currently at 19% and it's all about consistency and just grinding, no cheat…

15% body fat, and abs

two words: egg whites 1 cup of egg whites ie your breakfast is only 125 calories 0 fat and serves up 375 mg of potassium honeydew melon is another excellent source at 0 fat, though the sugar may be a concern for you also if you haven't done so already pay for MFP and it will show you which foods deliver which vitamins and…

0 I turned that feature off in My Fitness Pal, I eat 2,000 calories per day regardless of how much I exercise and it ranges from 500 calories burned to 2,000 calories burned in one day, I just bank those deficits for what some would call a "cheat day"

welcome, couple things to share off the top of my head 1. it's 90% diet (10% "working out") remember the easiest calories to burn are the ones you don't put in your mouth in the first place 1B. incorporate exercise into your regular life as much as possible, walk everywhere, why not walk to the store twice a week and buy…

OP here, glad people are finding this relatable, so I just want to share something with you as motivation, here is my 7 day streak (all under my calorie goal, yes even the 2,009 day is fine, yet I had a bagel, a mushroom burger, etc.) not to mention I think all my food tastes good, I think I had a clean week before so now…

I never claimed it was muscle or fat I just said that's how much my weight went up by, I shared that because when we are in our weight loss phase we are stepping on the scale and those numbers can be a roller coaster of emotions also a 4 pound jump is an indication of a higher carbohydrate intake as 1 gram of carbs pairs…

first of all good job on the calories deficit and good job for exercising as others have mentioned we need more info on you, I know there is a stigma for ladies in particular to give out their weight especially in the States but this is a weight loss forum, also you can tell us your height and age without knowing anything,…

did somebody say Tacos, hold on lemme git my pants!

I have joint problems and my elbow especially, having been to doctors, specialist, therapists, etc. so I can relate, and I have weak wrists, anyway pushups are a very difficult and very advanced exercise, and often performed incorrectly, so seek alternatives, perhaps not permanently but just until you strengthen your…

I am not being rude when I ask this, but I hear this all too often "I took a break" what do you mean you took a break? from what, being healthy? from eating the proper amounts? again my intentions are not to upset anyone I just want people to change their mindsets about health and fitness, this is not optional, it should…

calories in and calories out, remember the easiest calories to burn are the ones you don't put in your mouth, also you can not loose focused fat ie just from your bye bye arms or just from your belly it all comes off a little at a time from everywhere so you can attack it in one of three ways 1. Eat less (cool kids call…

Salma, welcome, congratulations, you are doing everything wright, so let's put things into perspective it took you 19 years to get to almost 200 pounds then you lost an AMAZING 57 pounds in 1 year (talk about absolutely a perfect perfect weight loss of a healthy 1 pound per week) you also recognized that intermittent…

beef jerky is another good snack but you do not get that much food, and it is very easy to eat too much, it is the number one source of protein for the ounce, no questions about it, but it packs a ton of sodium also do not go for the Honey or Teriyaki flavoured ones, as they also pack a ton of sugar in addition to the…
-
the key to curbing your cravings is voluminous food, so lots of stuff to shove in your mouth at a few calories, the number one answer is Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop popcorn NOT any other kind NOT Skinny Pop from Costco not only is it a lot of food for like a 100 calories but it has some fiber, looks like this and I'll…

get ready to start a World War III with your question ha ha, honestly it depends, it depends on if you are training for something or just talking about weight loss, I know that as a swimmer I have a sweet spot of when I like to have a meal prior to my swim to feel good to feel strong, if I eat too late I feel sluggish and…
-
just keep trying to do one more push up every time you do them, also push ups are a very advanced exercise and strenuous on your joints because it's difficult to adjust the weight (you can do regular ups or kneeling but that's about all, you can't grab a 15 pounder or a 25 pounder type a thing) try adjusting your arms as…

15% body fat, please and thank you

the most effective cal burn is jump rope, I did read your post so I will let you be the judge if that is intensity you can handle, you don't need much space, you can do it indoors or out doors, see if you can even do it at first, then see if you can do it for a minute, then rest then do it for another minute then rest, you…

stupid quinoa, if I wanted to eat flavorless tapioca I would eat ... well, quinoa, ha ha

thank you for all your work and welcome, couple key things that have helped me, and I am currently at my desired weight so been there done that, not bragging just wanting to help 1. this is a solo flight, this is a one woman sport, I know the whole point of this site is support and positive this and positive that, but the…

a variation of this is my go to, it's a salad minus the dressing and the hassle, fyi the same people who give me shiz for eating deli meat (ie high in sodium!?) or fruit (high in sugar?!) are the ones having burgers and fries and a shake for lunch themselves, ha ha (by the way the turkey is the Columbus reduced sodium…

bigger hair smaller waist, ha ha, luv it, enjoy the challenge of maintaining, make it fun, congratulations

there is no focused fat loss, anyone who tells you so is lying, we are all different and we all loose weight differently, the belly area for males is the last part to come off, I am not making this up but repeating what the world's leading body builder has said, you can't get rid of fat where you want it doesn't work that…

keep doing cardio it does work, simply walking works for two reasons 1. you are not at home and therefor eating 2. it's low impact steady state running is only better than walking because it burns twice the calories in half the time 1 mile walking burns 100 calories in 20 minutes (con = time consuming) 1 mile running burns…

You are very consistent, and that is key!

Totally normal, especially for a lady, I'm a boy and I can gain 4 lbs in one day (actually one meal ;) ) and loose 2 the next day type of thing, just keep grinding.

um, so 140? LOL ;)
