Is 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fats a good ratio? I am worried about too many carbs. Any input?

WOW. I would love to know what your exercise and diet were for the time period of a month and a week that you lost 11#. You look great and can see the difference. If you would open up your diary that would be awesome. I generally can only loose about 6 or 7# a month and would like to see what the difference is between our…

How do you stay under what MFP says you should be within when it comes to carbs. I almost always go over. If anyone wants to look at my diary feel free to do so. Any constructive comments will be appreciated.

I work out at home too and want to start weight training but did not know where to start. I am really impressed with your losses in 7 weeks. I am going to check Joyce Vedral's book out. Thanks for the input. Continued success to you.

I have been at a stand still for the last 3 weeks, actually gained 3 #'s (I upped my calories some). I have lost them now but if anyone wants to look at my diary please do. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. I am currently at 139#'s and would like to loose 9#'s and tone up. I am a 56 yr old female and am 5" 3 1/2 ".…

I am on the second day of level 2 and I hope I get the same results. The parts I have trouble with are the squat thrusts and the other leg exercise that is in the plank position. I start out doing a few of them than have to do the easier way. I hope also by the end of level 2 I can do them the way they are suppose to be…

Last night was Level 2 Day 1, and oh boy was that tough. I did Level one 10 days in 13 days. I did notice a difference in stamina but not anything else. I am hoping to see a difference when I get through the whole thing. I not sure what I am doing after I am done. I have a couple of choices. Keep up the good work everyone.

I can sure see a difference!! What are you doing exercise and calories?

I like the changing of #'s to kg. It seems easier to me also.

Happy Birthday! You look great. I do have a couple of questions. How many calories did you eat a day, net? What kind of exercises did you do? I am on my 8th day of the 30 day shred and can only hope to get some of your results.

Thank you for your post. I too was ready to give up TODAY. These last 5 - 10 #'s are so hard. I upped my calories like so many have said I needed to do, to only get on the scale after a week of doing so and gained a pound. I am doing 30 day shred and a plank and squat challenge and most day have added a 300 - 383 calories…

I started Feb 1st. I hope I get the results from either of your rounds. I am also doing a plank and squat challenge along with it. I did not take measurements. I guess I better do them tonight. Keep up the good work. You can really see a difference.

Great job. What a difference. Keep it up.

I am not gaining but I am not loosing much either. If anyone wants to look at my diary please do. I just changed my site to include sugar, I was tracking fiber. Any insite would be greatly appreciated. I am 5' 3 1/2 " and 56 yrs old. I would like to loose 10 #'s and want to start lifting but do not know where to start.…

WHAT DOES "NSV" STAND FOR? I HAVE BEEN ON MFP FOR 5 MONTHS AND STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!! THANKS

I agree with you. I weigh myself every morning but have noticed (for me) that when I eat more carbs the day before, my weight will go up. But after a few days it goes back to where it was.

Dress #4 for sure!!!

HOW DO YOU TEACH YOURSELF TO BREATH RIGHT. I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I AM HYPERVENTILATING AND I HAVE TO STOP.

I am somewhat new to MFP so I have a couple of questions. First what do you mean by "intense cardio"? and 5 day cycle of protein, carb, and fats? On a regular day I am burning approx 700 calories (2 times, 350+ each time) on the treadmill. I sometimes mix one of these with some step aerobics. I have lost 10 lbs in 2…

Not in public but for my husband yes.

AWESOME and I LOVE your hair~!!!!

I am in the same boat. I have been stuck at the same weight for some time now. If you would like to look at my diary and offer any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. I am upping my protein to see if that will help. I started at 150 on Jan 16th, have lost 8 lbs to date, goal is 130. I also want to add strength…

I am 5'3, I started at 150#"s on Jan 16th. I have lost 7-8 #'s but am at a stand still. I also have my protein at 40 grams. I work out everyday, most days twice a day and maintain 1200-1400 calories. I am going to increase my protein and see if it helps. I would love to see 2/3 # a day loss. What does everyone think?

don't do it.

I had one April 2004 and love it too. Had 3 kids and that stretched out skin and pooch made me sick to look at it, let alone trying to feel sexy, it just didn't work. Back then I paid around $7800 but worth every penny.

I can see a difference too. Keep up the good work!!

My first week into MFP, I ate back most of my exercise calories and gained a lb. How depressing was that.
