in my perfect world I'd love for it to only be about 300 but usually goes into 400-500 and I go over my goal (not considering what I earned from workingout) I have heard you are supposed to eat like a king at breakfast, a lord at lunch and peasant at dinner - but then you read some of the food plans on body building.com…

Hi there. I have days that I do lighter weights and lots of reps (15-20) and there are days when its heavy weights and I can only crank out like 6-8 reps. Bench Press - light days 60lbs - 15-20 reps; heavy days 75lbs (5 reps) Bicep curl - light days 30 barbell (15-20 reps) and heavy 40 or 45 lbs barbell - 6-8 reps…

oh yeah sister. i am always freezing! i have my desk heater, sweater and hot water at my desk all day!

eat more protein, less sugar. do more cardio - intense - not walking. the weight routine is weird that you do. i would recommend logging onto body building.com and signing up for the jamie eason live fit 12 week workout plans. they are emailed to you weekly and you just do whats on the menu. easy... works!

hubby and i were looking at my friend's facebook one day after she did a bikini competition and he commented on one of the girls having a "10" *kitten* and rockin body. Not only did I agree, I was impressed with her transformation. That motivated me. I want to be his perfect 10.

Take it with a 250-300 +/- calorie margin. I use it for macros for sure. it tells me I should be at 1650 for a 20% rate for weight loss and I rarely eat that much. i am normally at 1400. So like I said, use the goal of 2500 and give or take 250-300 cals

I'm on my last week. Loved it. Really felt good - strong. I didn't lose weight on the scale but did lose inches. I didn't follow the food or supps - just the workouts. The cardio accelerations in between sets kicked up the calories I was burning! I will forever incorporate that in my workouts. I will probably do his 12…

This. I never eat back calories.

Yup this! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IIFYM. I go there every two weeks and update my stats and cals to make sure I am on track! Eating more helps - not eating back the calories is total freaking ok. no matter what some of the people here say, you do not have to eat back the calories. Good luck!

Muscle Tech Phase 8 (any flavor is amazing) or Pure Protein both have whey and 20g+ of protein. I prefer the Phase 8 because it has digestive enzymes. You can get the Phase 8 on bodybuilding.com - they have the BEST prices. OR the pure protein is at WalMart for 19.99

have you considered changing your routine? when i hit my plateau, I signed up for this - http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jim-stoppani-six-week-shortcut-to-shred.html I had the workouts emailed to me every week, followed the meal plan about 70% true and tried a few new supplements (changed my CLA/Protein shake). The workout…

YES! Ok so this has NOTHING to do with your protein/whey supps. Seriously thats crazy talk. Its all about how much you are working out - creating natural testosterone versus estrogen. The more you workout, the less fat, more muscle = more testosterone in your body = less to no periods. happens to gymnastic girls, track…

hydrate, electrolytes and a good protein shake!

everyday i do some form of cardio. i do cardio accelerations in between my weight lifting sets (burpees, mtn climbers or jump rope) then after my lifting I do either tabatas or incline walk. on my "day off" I still either go for a run or clean the house... I always wondered if the cardio is hindering my muscle toning...…

I have this. I went to a nutritionist to help me. I often would eat because I thought I was hungry and barely drank any fluids all day - leading to becoming very dehydrated. basically she said, if you feel it in your belly, you are hungry. If you feel hungry in your mouth or head - then drink water. Common sense, yes but…

- Fish Oil - Women's Multivitamin - L-Carnitine - L-Arginine - CLA - AMINO1 - NOS

hi. i am in the same boat as far as being wacky & irregular. you can gain water weight - I do each month - its a sad 5 to 6lbs like clockwork now - best thing to do is not trip out when you do. don't weight yourself either... just journal your bloating, cravings, moods and when it happens so you can prepare yourself with…

sending you a request! :)

add me - i am in that range and my diary is open. feel free to ask any questions. :)

thanks sister. you know some days its on and somedays its not. I try not to obsess but at the same time, I have a goal in my head and I am trying hard to get to it. working out for a couple of hours in the morning and then lunch ramps up those cals fast!

You're an angel thank you! I will certainly add more to my meals. I am starvin' like Marvin' anyways!!

yeah I am eating 1500 calories, working out 6 x a week in the morning and 3 x week run at lunch. when I lift, I only use free weights (except for the smith machine for squats) and I drink 1 gal a day. I need to learn the net of calories. Not sure I understand that. Thank you so much for your time to answer... I really…

really good question. I wonder alot if I am eating enough. I am always hungry. but scared to go over 1500 a day.

THIS! You are eating lots of surgary foods. Stay away from ANYTHING McDonalds or Fast Food.. and the candy (brownies). Try more veggies - celery & PB, apples - protein shakes/bars and lots more water/tea. Good luck and don't give up!

it is best for your body's metabolism to spread your meals through the day. However, in the end what matters is Calories In vs. Calories Out.

btw are you meaning dinner then a meal after that - like late night?

wow that's alot of cals before bed! you should look at this site: http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ at the very bottom it will break down how many cals each meal should be depending on how many you want to eat (I eat 6 meals) and they are all around 300 cals. I try to load up at the beginning of the day to burn the most…

This.. I got mine at Walmart - 14.99 small single serving blender. use it everyday at work. my fancy one at home works just as well as my cheapy one. :)

hey girlie. you are my height... i looked at your diary for the week and it seems you are high on sugar and sodium which could account for water retention. Make sure you are drinking lots of water. I go through a gallon a day. also, to be honest, 30 mins isn't enough working out - even if you have a calorie deficit. You…
