it depends. if it's a mental thing then just give myself a "nice try, b*tch" and get to work but really making sure to keep my mind on my form and what i'm doing. if it's a physical thing because i havent taken a proper rest in a while then i'll just scrap the workout i had planned, do .5-1 mile walk/jog on the indoor…

are you losing inches? if so then you are losing and it might just take a while for the scale to show it. if you arent then you aren't eating at a deficit

same here. and it's been relatively recent(since May?) . i ran a 39 sec mile a few weeks ago :huh:

look up strong lifts, starting strength, new rules of lifting for women, or strong curves those are all solid beginner's programs that will teach you about lifting

strength training 3 days a week and cardio 2-3 times a week

i read somewhere that it's like 4 weeks

they mean rest days from running. i lift weights on my running rest days

so what's some effective organ building workouts? :laugh: i'll wait for the spammers to propose some new pill or drink that makes you grow an extra liver and kidneys

the good lord, the body doesnt break down a banana in macros and vitamins in minutes . the energy you feel is psychosomatic. sweet jesus of crappy public school education, some of you all need to go back to a proper beginning biology or human anatomy class :laugh:

2-3 meals . usually 3 during the weekdays (unless i'm skipping dinner) and 2 on the weekends. i prefer bigger meals and i dont really like snacking. i have always pooped as many times as i eat which is one reason i've never been a snacker (the other reason is that i find chewing to be annoying so why do it more than i…

damn chris that sucks :brokenheart: you'll be seeing a physical therapist too i take it?

sigh... that's not how it works. it's not like your body stores mashed up banana in your muscles. there is a process called digestion that needs to happen for food to be converted to anything that can be used for energy. i'll let you look that up

so you just said, i know we can't spot reduce but i'm wondering if i can by doing xyz .........

look into a program like strong lifts, starting strength or strong curves which are fundamental strength training programs that will give you more bang for your buck in times of utilizing gym time since you'll be working compound lifts that work multiple muscles and joints at the same time. in the meantime, eat at a…

weellll, i hate the burst this bubble but muscle doesn't burn all that many calories more when iat rest. it's something like 6 extra calories per pound of muscle AND it's really hard to build muscle especially at a calorie deficit and especially if you're a woman. newb gains are like 5 pounds or something and then after…

eat more food. i'm a 5'5 female, much older than you and i'm losing 2 pounds a week eating 1700-2000 calories a day

this. and i think it's fun to watch the watts. i like to see what my work output, plus it's fun to think of it in lightbulbs like right now i am powering a 150 watt bulb

what on earth is a HIIT plank?

how low is your calorie goal that you're running out by dinner? and if you can't control what you're eating during the day just prelog that day. i dont think tricking yourself is doing any favors in the long run to learn good habits

this. muffin tops and wearing the wrong size pants/skirt go hand in hand in hand or wearing the wrong style pant/skirt.

sorry but i dont get this... the onion rings are battered with butter, breadcrumbs and other stuff and then deep fried. the wings from supersized chickens that have been are battered with butter, breadcrumbs, deep fried and sauces are applied. how is this a surprise that it's so high calorie?

maybe the form pointer about knees and toes is that knees should go in the same direction as the toes instead of knees should never go past the toes

maybe it has to do with people leaving sweat behind? because you cant wear mesh either but i do like how they specify "no shoulder revealing" . id be tempted to cut out a portion of the short where my boobs are and see if i got in trouble. in mean technically it would be following the rules and i can have a good seamstress…

or maybe you should see a doctor to get cleared for exercise first?

it's just a number. if your clothes arent fitting why would seeing a number on a scale make your weight gain more real? it is what is . weigh or dont weigh but if you know you need to lose weight then starting doing what you know you need to do

generally i find i feel work more in my weakest muscles. in bench i feel it in my left shoulder, squat and deadlifts i feel in my hips... maybe you could try decline bench if you want to feel your chest when you bench

no it;'s not possible. we lose fat with a calorie deficit and our muscles get stronger when we challenge them. and reading your workout, you arent challenging your muscles. you do that by progressively lifting heavier weights

OP maybe try taking a diet break. spend a week or 2 eating at maintenance . PS i dont weigh my food either, refuse to do so since i really dont want to be obsessing over food like that. BUT i also assume that i'm eating 200-400 more calories than i have logged.

this.. also it's basically going to be the same number on average whether you decide to do the MFP way (random base number + exercise calories) or if you use a TDEE - x% way which already factors in your workouts
