Personally, I work 8-5 and have 2 hours of travel time, so I'm gone from the house from 7-6, sometimes 6:30 or 7pm depending on traffic. I get home, change, cook dinner, and usually my bf and I are at the gym by 9pm and home around 11 or 11:30pm. I average 6 hours of sleep a night, but there are nights when it's less. Any…

If you exercise you should be eating some of your exercise calories back - this will give you more wiggle room in your menu. I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Soy Protein in Vanilla Bean - it's 120 calories a scoop, 1g of carbs, 2g of fat and 0g of sugar. I drink it usually once a day, sometimes twice if I've had a hard work…

I have a friend who is about to start her 3rd (or 4th..?? who knows) round of HCG. You do lose weight quickly but each time she stops taking the HCG, she gains it all back and then some. She's now at her heaviest weight yet because each time she gets progressively heavier.. lol. I agree with everyone else, stick to what…

I have been trying to limit my consumption of alcohol but it never really goes that well. One drink always makes me want another, and another, and another.. All of these tips are good though, although I would like to only drink vodka + (insert calorie free beverage here), I end up going with specific types of malt liquor…

THIS. Plan plan plan plan. It's the only thing that's helped me. Decide what you're going to eat the day before (or for the entire week if you're feeling like it!), and stick to it. That way there are no surprises, you know what you're going to eat that day, when you'll eat it, etc etc. When I get really busy and don't…

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Use that. Scooby's calc says my BMR is 1466, and that I should eat 1700 a day. So I set my MFP 'goal' to 1450 and then I just eat back some of my exercise calories. Jamie Eason's calculator says I should eat 1500-1800(heavy days like leg strength training) every day, and there…

This thread is really interesting -- I wish I had some of ya'll genetics!! :( I noticed my "back fat" (underneath the bra) going away first, followed by my waist getting smaller, and am finally starting to notice my thighs are slightly smaller/more toned. My hips/lower stomach and arms are ALWAYS the last place I notice…

I know how you feel. My boyfriend is trying to GAIN weight/muscle mass, and some days he eats 4,000+ CALORIES!! It can be really hard to lose, especially when others around you are either not supportive or have different goals than you do. Luckily my bf is pretty supportive about me not eating as many carbs/calories as he…
