Ok think I figured out my issues. I think caffeine hits me stronger and longer when I reduce my carbs. I got rid of my 2 pm energy drink and my coke with dinner and I have been able to get to sleep at a reasonable time.

I am ready to make the internal changes that will create the external me I want to be!

That’s wonderful! Taking care of you is truly important!

Welcome to the community and hugs!!

If you feel good, satisfied , and it doesn’t cause a dramatic drop in energy you should be fine. Just watch your energy levels and pay attention to your health. One of the difficult things with a low cal diet is consuming enough essential vitamins and minerals. First thing to suffer if these levels are low is energy the…

I am still here! I still see my path! As long as I focus on the road ahead I will succeed! Nothing and no one can stop me, but me!

I find that if I keep my carbs below ~80g my joint pain goes away and I have more rational control over my cravings. Yes I have upped my sodium, all my electrolytes to be honest, without the carbs it can be easy to dehydrate. I will see how tonight goes. If I still can’t sleep I will have to adjust my macros a bit.

still havent slept... I feel manic and that scares me because I know a crash always follows that. think tonight i will take a hot bath and sip some hot herbal tea to help me reestablish a sleep schedule

@Megan_smartiepants1970 i sent you a PM I still cant get on to post in the trimstones feed please help

Rule of thumb is that a baby exclusively breastfeeding burns about 500 cals. When it was me I only ever ate back 1/2 of those cals, but I had 60# to lose so there was no danger of me loosing my milk production.

If I’m not mistaken the reason for doing the compound first is to fatigue the muscles and the isolation lifts are the icing on the cake to get that full burnout. If you are cutting and feeling like the full workout is too much the compound lifts should be enough to minimize muscle loss.

When you say supplements are you really meaning replacements?

I am free to take control!! There is nothing more liberating than giving yourself permission to take control of your life! Realizing that dreams are just goals to work towards and not some mystical existence that is out of reach! My life is mine and I will live it as I choose. No longer will the consequences of reactive…

Hi all, I'm an old new person to MFP. I used this site years ago to reach and then maintain my goal of a bikini body after kids for 2 years. Unfortunaly I lapsed and over the corse of 5 years have gained every lb back. I welcome the oppertunity to be part of a group that offers a way to hold myself accountable while…

what are the fat protein and carb targets you are wanting? rule of thumb is 4 cal per gram of carb and protein and 9 cal per gram of fat

tremors scared me so much that i still subconsciously walk in the middle of the sidewalk. I'm 38

She was just one dimensional

Rough strong hands

try logging in on a PC and changing it there? other than that i don't know

color is taken care of with time, narrower comes when you lose weight and the skin isnt streched as tightly

Close the site and then repoen it. See if it fixes it

If you use the TDEE method you dont usualy eat back cals.
