  • That isnt required. Its a good goal tho. I recommend weights and eating enough lean protein. My lower body is my problem area too. I started lifting weight and squatting and my hips alone have lost 3 inces in the last 9 weeks. Im not sure about my legs since never did a pre-measure with them. I also do cardio but not much.…
  • I thought this too!!!
  • Yes. I lift weights and I eat 1400-1600 cal a day depending on how hard I lifted that day.
  • I started lifting weights 10 weeks ago and I have only lost like 10-12 lbs. But I have also gained 10 lbs of muscle and lost 27% of my total body fat. I went from 34.3% to 24.8%. I stopped caring about the pounds and now I focus on the body fat %s. I have also lost 2 dress sizes.....
  • Do it! You wont regret it. Just remember that you have to do more than just sessions with your PT. I have been with mine for 4 months now. I wasnt really serious about it til 10 weeks ago. I text him constantly with questions about food and certain exercises to do without him. Hes really become more of a friend now. Its…
  • Im like the most boring meal prepper EVER!!!! Easy does it for me! Usually some chicken breast with brown rice or broccoli/Green beans. These two days I am doing the usual chicken and broccoli, along with some ground turkey zucchini spaghetti and organic marinara sauce. I also added some whole grain angel hair to add some…
  • Not sure on the nutritional side of it but real from the egg carton egg whites taste better than pourable ones. So I use one of those yolk separators.
  • No...Not at all. Your body needs carbs. Even if its just 100g a day. You need carbs!!! You have to make this a lifestyle not a diet.
  • I dont think youre eating enough Protein. When you exercise, especially lift weights you need more protein. Protein keeps you fuller longer too. I exercise/lift 5 days a week and eat 140-200g of protein. I weigh 166.... I eat 5x a day with 2 protein shakes added in.
  • Do you meal prep? I suggest prepping meals. This way there is no grab and go junk food. Also, I recommend upping your Protein. If you are weight lifting you need lean protein. Im 166ish and I eat 140-200g a day. Have you tried eating clean? No Processed food?
  • I would say if your HRM is programmed to you Heart rate modes the HRM is correct. If its not programmed specific to you, then probably the fitbit.
  • Keep going!!!!! Dont stop, It will even its self out. I am just like you. I gained 2 lbs my first week working out with my trainer. But in the last 8 weeks I have lost 10 lbs. Went from 34.3% body fat to 26.2% body fat. From a size 12 to a size 8. I have also gained 10-15 lbs of muscle. I weight in weekly to keep myself on…
  • Well, Im 5'9" so Im sure I dont count....BUT I want to comment. My starting weight was 179. My Goals is 155ish. But even that changes daily. I am building muscle and leaning out so Im starting to think I will end up being like 165lb and a size 6! Im 170ish right now and a size 6-8.
  • I am a sweet a holic.....but I have noticed that my CHOCOLATE protein shakes keep me from wanting sweets. Try that!
  • As a male, you should eat more. Also eat complex carbs and healthy fats. I cut carbs out by 6pm daily. I eat fats all day. I also eat 160-200g of lean protein a day. If you cant make it to the gym, find a home workout. If you can eventually find time to go to the gym I recommend lifting weights for 30 mins.
  • Keep eating lean protein. Like a lot! I eat 160-200g daily. 1300-1700 Calories a day. Do a little less cardio and add more weights. Youll lean out quicker instead of lose lbs. If you do a lot of cardio youll lose the muscle you may gain doing weights for 10-15 mins. I do 40 mins or so of weights and 10-20 mins of cardio.…
