You are just starting this, it is normal make mistakes, we are humans, your weight will fluctuate sometimes, you will eat more than you should sometimes, but that’s okay. Keep in mind that binging happens for a reason and you need to find yours. You need watch what you eat, I was crazy about food like you, I couldn't…

Saw a girl using fake tan for the first time in my life hahahaha Lemme explain, I'm from Brazil we don't use fake tan so its naturally strange for me but I was living in Ireland in that time and the girls there just loooove being orange, we called them Oompa-Loompas, and this girl take some gloves and this product but only…

Your NET calories is already the deficit, when you set the 1200 you are counting the -20% from your TDEE, that's why you have to eat back your calories :) You should reach the 1200 NET by the end of the day, if you burn at the gym 500 you should eat the 500 back from that + the 'normal' 1200 during the day, so 1700 - 500…

Yep, in that case you are counting your NET calories, some people set to their TDEE and not eat the calories back, others use like you do, eating your calories back maintaining your NET. If you use the NET "system" it's important never stay too low from your daily calories, since you are already counting the 20-25% less :)…

THERE'S HOPE! :D I tough I could never get rid of this pooch + muffing top combo that is part of my body for ages LOL

Bump

Thanks :)

What about calories? Should I stay in my deficit because of the weight loss or should I set to my TDEE , that's my main question, I don't know if I can actually build muscles in a deficit. I wanna know more about that.

I don't know, I've seen some crazy stuff like this here, for serious, I don't doubt of anything anymore! ha

Thank you, finally someone who knows muscles aren't built in so short amount of time :D

That's not always true, it is the most mistake that people commit, the best idea is know for sure that is muscles

I use protein powder basically because my daily protein intake is not enough just fulling with food. if that's the case, perfect... but just be careful with what your purposes are or you can end up wasting your money ;)

Are you doing BenDunnes? I used to go there, helped me to lose around 7kg :) And there's a lot girls weight lifting, dont worry about it, put some music you like and screwed them, they don't pay your gym to judge anyone lol People take their time in the gym very serious, they are willing to help you if you need/ask , it's…

Of course, try to stick into your daily calories, but I mean: if I over eat 200 calories, but 200 calories of fruits, nuts or something healthy I dont allowed myself to freak out, anymore lol, you know what I mean? :)

Start to focus on nutrients... since I increased my calories intake , started weight lifting and focus on nutrients not so much on calories, I barely see a different in my scale but I def see in my body ;)

Sounds silly but ask yourself if what you are doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. IF you do, be happy with that, if you don't, change it! This is one of a few things in life you can control so enjoy this opportunity of changing, you are allowed to make mistake, you are HUMAN, it's natural,…

I don't have Penneys, Forever, Tesco or Argos :sad: I don't know what I'm doing in this world anymore :laugh: It is a delicious recipe, just be careful with the topping - usually the most caloric thing - I'd go with a melted peanut butter ... sounds "fatty" but has GOOD fats and important nutrients, don't focus only on…

Heya! I lived in Dublin for almost 2 years, in a exchange program, I looove Ireland and the Irish <3 Miss everything about it, the accent, the pubs, Penneys, even the Gardai hahaha about the pancake don't worry, to honour my irish memories I made this recipe this morning:…

Honestly? I'm AFRAID of Insanity lol Saw some videos and I don't think I can handle it hahaha I wish tho, maybe when I finish RI30 :D

I'm already in this group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/11717-ripped-in-30-partners Feel free to join us if you want to :)

3 times A DAY? Really? That's like wonder woman lol

Honestly, I use my ipod during this dvd lol , listen to something I like instead of Jillian makes me push through easily :)

Mixing fruits and/or milk is one of the most mistakes people do about protein powder, doing this you lose all the purpose of it - which is the fast absorption of protein - milk would slow that down and you'll ended up wasting your money. Of course there's a lot pro and cons, this is more for weight lift and building…

Good question, never know how many calories her exercises burn :/
