I would definitely up your intake some and put some hard yummy foods in your belly :) I typically resort to protein shakes if I am just scrambling to find something to fill the calorie void, otherwise, I much prefer foods when its time to eat. 1-2 whole eggs mixed with 3 servings of egg whites helps me a lot, followed with…

your love handles and the fat around your belly button down are typically the last to go. Keep pressing forward, train hard and keep a healthy diet. If your wanting to see those abs in that region, aim for below 12% bodyfat. Your top abs will come into view between 13-15%'ish.

Timing! Complete your workout just before a meal. your body will be prime to receive whatever you feed it, preferably protein for recovery ;) but of course make it balanced.

That is the way I log it, but do we trust that number that is presented to us? What kind of lifter does that number represent? I'm just asking how others maybe track a personal/custom way.

It requires a surplus to building muscle. In a deficit, you pretty much work out to maintain what you already got and building a bit of strength. use it or lose it I say. I don't go hard in the gym. I get a good pump, give myself about 2 calories per minute that I worked out, eat back to reach my daily goal.

Your probably really close to a distribution center. The wifes shipped out of Atlanta, so I'd assume most people in Atlanta probably got theirs today.

I got my wife one, she is using a older alta I think so this is definitely a nice upgrade for her. says it'll arrive the 16th as well.

I used to get Iced Caramel Macchiato all the time, however, I now better understand that drinking your calories can be destructive to goals, so I've cut out starbucks personally.

:/ the best of luck to you! It will indeed be tough. Be cautious and listen to your body. The closer you get to your goal, you should be less aggressive. I'm rooting for ya though!

I personally use a combination of both. Because the MFP confuses me as well, I take my TDEE Calc sedentary calulation - 500 and make that the MFP calorie daily goal. set exercise to zero, activity to sedentary, and log everything, including exercise. Set recommended macros to make sure I'm getting enough protein. My TDEE…

Great job, its tough. If i could get majority of my family to just lay off the cans they would probably see a huge difference. Diet Dr. Pepper is my go to, but I also have unlimited access to Diet Pepsi's so I usually have one or two a day. No harm done, but everyone has their opinions about them :smiley:

I think documenting would be an awesome story that you can share with your family years from now, and others that might be in the same situation, and like you said, its self motivation as well. I regret not documenting mine, but its all good.

Hows it going so far!?!?!?!?!? I can't wait! OMG. i'm more excited than the kids

We are going in October, can't wait! Our little one will be almost 5 so should be a great time. I plan to carry her everywhere on my shoulders to add for an extra burn!

I picked up a Polar H10 chest strap and am more than satisfied with it, its very accurate. It has a calorie tracking config for strength training as well that I have used just a couple of times, but for cardio its on point.

Fortunately I personally haven't had to eat anything I didn't like ... however, I did do coffee straight black for the first time and good lord, thats hard!

I do not take into consideration any of MFP auto calculations/recommendations. When losing weight, you want about 0.80g PER lb of body weight just to help prevent you from loosing any lean body mass. Its tough yes, but grilled chicken breasts have become my best friend during my journey, lean hamburger patties are great,…

I have the Polar H10 chest strap waiting for me at the post office. Hope to get lots of data from it this weekend. It has lots of great reviews and lots of people use it when testing/comparing other products.
