nevaeh - my trainer told me to only eat starchy/sugary carbs (bread, pasta, rice, etc.) only on days I work out and immediately after as my body is in burn mode and would burn through those carbs much quicker than a non-workout day. I can ask Randy about the carbs in veggies and if those are burned any differently than…

OK, so I talked to Randy about why the grams of Fat were so high. He basically said that because the carbs are being lowered, the Fats step in to help burn energy. You don't want to have those both be so low that your body starts to burn through proteins and go all cannibal on itself. He said that when people think of…

wfte - The macro ratio for endormorph is what my trainer gave me to follow on a low burn day. I'm seeing him today so I'm going to ask him why the fat percentage is so high. I'll share with you what he says. He's always given me the science behind what he's talking about and I've researched a couple things to confirm what…

I fit the typical traits of an endomorph almost to a 'T'. I was giving him daily averages from the 7-day report I can pull from my BMF as well as letting him know what I was doing outside of his training sessions. While he could see I was getting stronger through our sessions, had a deficit each week that should have me…

For a low burn day macros are: Carbs 25% Protein - 35% Fat - 40% I'm working on meeting these percentages before I even think about doing anything about the percentages for high burn days. Randy has me at 1999 calories per day for a non-workout day. I'm having a hard time getting close to that. He gets that and is super…

I could just cry over how awesome Randy is. I wasn't starving before but was eating a lot of fruit or low calorie items and not paying much attention to the other macros. Once I started reading about Endomorphs I kind of got it. We don't have much low fat/diet food in the house. We are fairly decent eaters. We do buy…

LOL - it ***** out D!ck's. That made me snicker a bit....

Have you checked out Athleta? They have super cute stuff that seems to have great support (I've only bought pants). Check the clearance link because their stuff may put you into sticker shock. It's great quality tho but I will only ever buy from their clearance section. Because I've got some boobies, I prefer to wear a…

I'm going to be starting with a personal trainer very soon and will become a regular at the gym. I'm extremely initimidated as the gym is full of fit military soldiers. Mind you, the eye candy will be very nice however being the squishy, old chick will not be fun. I hope you can find a happy medium with going and with the…

I had this too and started using Proactiv until everything settled down because it was bad and didn't appear to be settling down. My skin is much happier these days!! And the good thing....I've noticed I break out if I drink the occasional soda. Keeps me accountable and I stay far away from soda.

I'm excited for you!!! I'm so in love with mine and it hasn't been a week. I will say that so far, I'm moving a lot more than I thought and my sleeping patterns suck. However, this could be because the device is 'learning' me or I'm just a really bad sleeper. I may take one day and slip the device into my bra like you…

Motorola Xprt. Firmware is only 2.2 tho

I got one for my birthday yesterday (BodyMedia Link). I'm already in love with it. I'm tired of not really knowing how many calories I'm burning. I know how many calories I'm taking in but think that it's still not enough. I sit at work all day but putter around the house until bed time. Same on the weekends. I don't…

I'm in!! Start Date: Hopefully today, 7/9 Finish Date: 60-90 days out Starting Weight: 165 (weighed this morning) Goal Weight: 125 (this is a long shot and I don't plan to lose it all by doing Insanity) Diet plan: Working towards eating clean and by using my BMF, will be creating a 500-700 calorie deficit daily

I want to come play in your kitchen!!! I love to cook and really enjoy using fresh foods and getting our meats from the farmer's markets. It's not always convenient but we eat really good when we go. I do love grilling our veggies and spent one summer eating lots of grilled onions. Needless to say, I can no longer do that.…

I tend to 'snack' while cooking dinner. I would suggest after eating your normal bowl of oats, brushing your teeth before preparing your bowl for the following morning. If I'm starving while cooking dinner, I tend to drink a lot of water or even micro a coffee cup of water to get it hot and add some lemon to it. That keeps…

If I were to measure the marinade (I'm terrible in that I just eyeball it), I would say that the marinade ends up being 100 calories per serving. I normally use a 1lb size flank steak to marinate and figure that would feed 4 each at 4oz. I'm really not sure how much marinade the flank steak absorbs but I would suspect…

I made little muffin cup lasagna's the other night using wonton wrappers instead of lasagna noodles. My family didn't so much care for them but I loved them. I got the recipe off of one of the other threads. I altered the cheese/ricotta/cottage cheese filling because I have a standard filling I use for stuffed shells and…

rherington - do you have a BodyBugg? If so, how do you like it?

congrats!!! You mentioned doing Insanity. Do you love it? How often do you do it and for how long each time? I'm waffling on buying it (I do get a 50% reimbursement through work so it's not that difficult to swallow) but really need to do something while I'm waiting for an opening with a personal trainer. I'd love any…

Thank you all for sharing this. I've given my husband some options for my birthday and am hoping for the BodyMedia Core. I've upped my calories from 1200 to 1734 and not much is going on (started early January at 178 and cw is 165-168). However, I am very likely not chosing the proper activity level and am probably still…

Wisdom tooth 20 - something Laproscopic/hand-assisted nephrectomy - I donated my left kidney to my sister March 2010 - I was 37

I'm currently in love with Kind bars. I pack those and the Planters NUT-trition mixes in single serving snack bags, Brothers freeze dried Fuji apples, Milk Duds or Hot Tamales (these are my vice) and always the largest bottle of water I can buy at the airport. I try to eat boiled eggs and toast before leaving for the…

I partook in VS' panty sale this past weekend as I've decided to toss my 'go to' granny panties due to being to big. Congrats on your NSV!!

Well, I tried to start the reset yesterday by eating TDEE of 1782. I barely got in 1300 calories. I'm not starving by any means and have a hard time eating if I'm not hungry. Guess I need more healthy, calorie dense foods. Don't get me wrong, I love me some food but eating 1200 calories for so long, my portion sizes are…

OK, I'm starting to eat at TDEE today. That's 1782. I've been eating at a 15% cut and netting BMR at 1485 on days when I have more activity (I plead sedentary because I sit at a desk all day and don't exercise on a regular basis). I had an awful week last week between an amusement park outting with my daughter and being on…

Sweet baby jaysus. I love me some Ian Somerholder. He'd be WAY perfect. And quite frankly, the chick who plays Alayna on Vampire Diaries may rock Ana.

I read all 3. I like it, but I love trashy books like that. I've heard buzz about the movie and wondered who they'd pick for Christian and Ana. I wouldn't sign the contract either, but the whole lifestyle around doms/submissions is intriguing. If you like these kinds of books, The Black Dagger Brotherhood series (I think…

Age - 38 5'4ish" CW: 164 and some ounces TDEE: 1782 less 15%: 1515 BMR: 1485 Exercise: very little and so chose sedentary when determining TDEE. I work a lot and commute 2 hrs/day. Then play mom/wife/cook with less than an hour of 'me' time (which work is slowing down so I'll have a smidge more time for working out). I'm…

I thought it was half your body weight in ounces of water. Regardless, I agree. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day are super beneficial. And often times, dehydration can be disguised as hunger pangs. If I'm feeling like I want something to eat, even tho it's nowhere near time for a meal/snack, I drink some warm…
