My belly shrank away to nothing as soon as I started eating clean. I totally get the concept behind IIFYM, but for the most part, I still stick to a very strict eating plan. No bad fats, no bad carbs, only healthy fats in, only complex carbs in, protein about 100g, lots of water, you know. My belly is always the first…

I can only see the top one that has the 3 side by side ones.... the 2 below that dont say "this photo has been deleted"? ETA: HA! I fixed it :D accomplished.

Hi new friend! Please add me as well anyone looking for buddies. I love the support!

ok so I used this equation that I found online to calculate my BMR since I know my BF% is about 35%. BMR (men and women) = 370 + (21.6 X lean mass in kg) That gives me a BMR of 1623. That is lower than the 1710 that the other sites estimated, so would this one be more accurate?

my BF% was checked a week ago and i believe it was 36%.

lol I have learned that if you want your topic to be opened and read, the title has to be catchy. thats the only reason it says that haha.

ok that makes sense to me, so where did you get the 1400? I just want to see it since all of the other sites tell me 1700. I am understanding that I likely plateaued because my BMR was estimated too low, and I havent been eating enough. So if I eat above my BMR, but below my TDEE, I should see an increase in my losses? I…

I am 5 foot 5 inches approximately, so I am not short, but I am not tall I suppose. I used to be in the military, and after that I have always weighed more than my size reflected I suppose. I dont think I have 90 pounds of fat to lose personally, but I could be wrong. thats why I am asking you guys for help right?

Hi, yes, I do cardio 6 days a week, 2 of those days being strictly cardio only, and for 40-60 minutes. I strength train 3 days a week, total body circuit. I started this about a week ago though, so I am still new to having strength in my routine. I have a hard time eating 1900 calories because I try to stay under my macros…

I just used a second site that also says my BMR is over 1700. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ It says my TDEE is about 2600 (im guessing that INCLUDES my exercise?) I just feel like I am plateaued. my weight has hardly changed at all in a month.... I can eat more I suppose, but I WANT to be a few dress sizes…

I used a calculator on a site that said my BMR is 1713. I dont understand this for some reason... I dont want to be 196 pounds anymore!! I am eating as clean as I possibly can. no junk foods, no sweets, nothing. I eat chicken, brown rice, protein shakes, fish, peanut butter, chia seeds and stuff like that. My diary is…

because I need to cool off in that pool!

Are we about to have a bacon fight? :D

Nice instrument ;) haha

Bacon wrapped bacon dipped in bacon?

because bacon.

When I am talking to people about my weight loss and they say "Oh just stop stressing and trying so hard and the weight will just FALL off!" uh - first off, I was not complaining about my weight loss, I am proud of it, and I dont need help. second off - if it were that easy, then why are YOU still fat? hmmm? I just need to…

So I am already losing 1lb a week or less, I didnt really want to go harder than that on weight loss. How much protein do you think I should intake a day? Yesterday I ate 124g of protein, it was mostly chicken, and fish. My diary is visable, can you help me? I just broke 200lbs I am 198 right now.

a tiny bit would be fine but i have a lot....I dont want to hear that I will never be able to wear shorts, ya know?

I do squats and lunges both, I can start doing them with weights, what other exercises can I add my free weights to to help out? ETA: I just tried lunging with a 20 pound weight in EACH hand, so 40 pounds total and I was shakey at like 5th rep lol... that should work for now right? thats what im aimimg for?

So I took my pants

yes. :)

I have them on my arms, on my chest, my belly and my legs. Maybe I think a certain hair color looks stiupid on people, or a certain clothing style, but you know what? If you are not the one I sleep next to at night, I dont give a damn what you do with your body, because that is YOUR choice. I don't understand why so many…
