That sounds about right. I have about 20 to lose. So I am doing the 15%. I am glad I was doing the percentage already.

You can add me, right now I am a little over 2000, I also have a BMF, but I believe it will go up soon. Fixing all of my technical things with it.

I would love an invite!

I did set it back to my height. Thank you so much for all the help and clarification. I learned a lot and will be able to use it to help me. I love your worksheet by the way!

So I checked my stats this morning and I got credit for my full workout. Only problem is I am a little worried about my sleep cal/min. The range was 1 - 1.5 I was averaging 1.2 most the night. So do I calculate by the 1 or the 1.2? If the 1 than I am below my BMR if the 1.2 than I am about 200 above my BMR. Thanks.

They aren't too shabby! LOL!

Wow. That was wonderful info, thank you. What I have found out is that when I started using BMF in June my sleep was at a 1 or 1.1 for the lowest which puts me really close to my BMR. Now the lowest is a .8. I am also not getting enough credit for my working out. I worked out for an hour and only got credited with 26…

I would love to be a motivation and support for you, because I need that too. I keep on falling off and I can't do that anymore.

Thank you so much for your post. You have done amazing job and have helped me to realize not to think of that "major" end goal. I've lost and looked great and gained it back, not because I didn't know what to do, just because I made an end goal for myself. Now I am just going to become healthy, one day at a time!

Thank you, this helps so much. I am pear shaped too. I did realize or remembered that measuring two inches below your belly button was a good place for abs, which seems to be what you said too. Hey if we are wrong we are wrong together and being consistent.

Mine is right at my belly button also. My question is, where do we measure the abdomen? I see request for this a lot.

Thank you so much. I think this is something that is really doable. I might switch it up and do NROLFL, just because I've gone through NROLFW. Just to switch it up. I'll start that next week. Since I am mid week now. Though I am not staying still these next few days. I am going to through in some 10 min trainer DVDs just…

I decided to log my food in to see what was actually eating, to my surprise I haven't ever gone over 1400 calories. SO NOT GOOD!! I decided since I asked for you all to research, I should do the same. Needless to say, I have decided to eat healthier foods (a positive I will take from this diet), but I am no longer going to…

I just did my calories and I am on the low side also. Follow this to a "T" and I haven't broken 1400 calories at all. That is not good, and not sustainable. Hmm. Just a bit frustrated.

Let's make a deal, why don't just agree to disagree. I can "talk" til I am blue in my face and you wouldn't hear me, and probably vice-versa.

She talks about how Caffeine stresses your adrenal glands. They are important in regulating your blood sugar, keeping your cortisol levels steady. It also pushes the body past its healthy state of energy constantly stealing from your reserves. I paraphrased, but that is the gist of it.

Ndj, have you even read this book? Have you even read her take on calories in vs. calories out? There is discrepancy about that theory. Maybe you should do some research on it. Not everyone's body reacts the same to everything. Yours did and I am happy for you. Not everyone is that lucky. Now that I am going to be 45, my…

She actually goes into the biological mechanisms and processes for it. Here is a little thing on her. Though it doesn't mention her start in Animal Sciences. She is a Science nerd and huge researcher too. http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Haylie-Pomroy/1190399814

I'm eating way more than 800 calories. I believe that I am eating upwards of 2000 calories on this. Yes she does recommend heavy lifting. The low fat on low carb days, is actually no added fat, like the oils and such. Today I had egg whites (okay didn't like leaving out my yolk), pork loin and baby bell pepper for snack,…

It would be sooo cool if it were that simple. Maybe if you read it, it might see things a tad differently.

Now I can get all the sarcasm if you all read the book and did research on it. Wait no I can't get the sarcasm, because support should never come with sarcasm. I am trying it only because I have noticed that my weight gain lately has been different than before, which means my Hoshimotos Thyroiditis might be going into full…

I had an eggs with green chiles and onions. Egg whites for snack 1 Pork and bell peppers for lunch. (I made the most scrumptious crock pot Pork Loin yesterday) Maybe more pork for snack. Trying the Cinnamon Mustard Chicken tonight

I am down 4 pounds. I started on May 4th at 182.4 and am now 178.4. I know the ups and downs, so I know what is to be expected, but I am going to enjoy this for now. Congrats Meredith!

Hi I am Linda, I am 44 I am 5'5.5" and weigh 179.8 pounds. About 6 months ago I was at 158, doing everything "right". I ate healthfully and lifted weights. I was on a role. Then I just broke, after 9 months I was so so tired of writing everything down and measuring everything. So now I am trying to actually do this right.…

I am on my 2nd week of Stronglifts and loving it. I did the full NROLFW and tried to go back to P90X after, but did not enjoy it at all. I needed my heavy lifting!!! I did make a few mistakes, with not lifting enough for row and deadlift in the beginning but I have rectified that and am enjoying this. Right now I am at:…

I am so glad I am not the only one that was trying to catch my breath. I went in thinking, "I can do 20 reps no problem. I got this." Um, no I put everything down to 15 reps and my butt was still kicked. Love it though.

Love it!!!

Ditto!!

First off you look great. I can definitely see the changes. Second, I agree pictures are the way to go. I couldn't really see the changes in me until I took pictures. Which baffled me because my measurements haven't been doing much. Though clothes are fitting me better. Recomposition Rocks!!!
