While I understand why you're being very meticulous about how many grams you allot to each macro... I just thought I'd throw my $.02 in and state that for the past month I've been following "If It Fits Your Macros"... where basically I eat what I want, as long as it fits within my calorie goals for the day.... and I've…

This. Also, you mention that you eat avocados and sweet potatos almost daily. While those aren't bad, if you're eating those in excess its not necessarily good either... added to your bananas, oats, and PB (all 5 listed each day would give you a high amount of fat, carbs, and fiber... which are all good but at the same…

I had thought of pilates as well, but thought that might be more strenuous than yoga. I'll look into it for sure though, thank you!

Good point, I didn't stop to think that yoga could aggravate it. She isn't already scheduled for it, and the doctor said shes going to "eventually" need one.. so I"m wondering if its not that serious just yet- but obviously serious enough to where he sees it wearing down I"m sure. Swimming is a great idea.. I hadn't…

I like the answer of "it depends" that was given. Also, my thoughts are this: If you're feeling hungry then eat. If you're not hungry... don't FORCE yourself to eat back the calories that you just burned. Some may argue that the days you don't eat back your calories you're going way too far under, but believe me, it evens…

Yes. Only after consumption of watermelon seeds though. Drinking too much water after the seed will cause watermelon growth in your belly. Then you have a whole new issue to worry about. On a lighter note, unless its to the levels of toxicity as others have mentioned, you're good. :)

Here are my ideas: :smile: We weigh less in the morning because while we sleep we are burning calories to digest the food and breakdown what we've eaten. Also, most people by the time they wake up have to "relieve" themselves in one way or another, so that flushes out your body of waste whether it be via intestines or…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/899463-how-much-sleep-do-you-get-each-night You all might be interested in this thread from a couple months back- tons of responses. I was curious as to the correlation between weight loss and sleep. The responses seemed overwhelmingly in favor of those getting at least 6-7+ hours of…

:laugh: Its all a conspiracy.

Are you doing any weight lifting or chest exercises (seriously)... or even upper back exercises? If so, that could be part of it. As long as you continue to lose elsewhere I wouldn't worry. Nothing says just because your waist is going down, that everything else will follow in increments. Especially depending on the type…

Someone help me understand... everyone keeps saying this site isn't pro-ED but the link posted above to one of their forum topics keeps talking about all these girls discovering the site after they searched for "starving tips". Then earlier I read someone say that the site is all for intermittant fasting, but not pro-ED. I…

Agree with this. I don't think the shot itself causes the weight gain.. it probably makes your horomones all out of whack causing you to have more emotions or increases in hunger. If you're not carefully logging what you eat and make bad choices (out of emotion).. then the weight will pack on. If you continue what you've…

I know how you feel! I've been drinking at least 120+ oz of water each day the past couple weeks and I have to pee just about every hour. In fact, I really need to go right now but it feels like I just went a while ago and I'm too lazy to get up. :happy: If you've increased your water intake so much, you have no other…

If theres any time during the month that I'm going to give into my cravings and exceed calories... its right before and during that TOM. I've been keeping Special K meal bars on hand (chocolate peanut butter is just like a reeses cup to me!) and those help with the sweet cravings. But sometimes you just have to give in and…

You look amazing! Great job, keep it up!
-
I don't think there is anything wrong with it, as long as you're getting the low/no sugar kind. Those flavored pre-made teas tend to have so much sugar in them and the calories add up quick.

LOL about the top

Great job, and great post!
-
Agree! I'd rather load up on chicken and skip the beans. But OP... I still respect your combo as I'm sure it still tastes amazing even without the meat! I had Chipotle for lunch today: Lettuce, Black beans, fajita veggies, chicken, pico, a little cheese, a little sour cream, and a little guac. Perfection!! Love it!
-
Wow, so glad I bumped it! This thread really blew up overnight with some GREAT suggestions! I'm going to read through and make a shopping list... thank you all for your ideas!
-
Thank you! Great idea on the HIIT and heavy barbells. Maybe I'll swap that out with what I currently have planned.

Anyone?

Hi Tony! Fellow north Texan here :) I'm 26, 5'7, medium build, 168lbs. My body type is between meso/endomorph... I have alot more muscle tone than most women my age / height/ weight, and I gain muscle easy... I just have the WORST time trying to lose fat. :( I gained about 15 lbs in less than 6 months after my wedding...…

That is so awesome, congratulations- keep up the great work!
-
Good point, its really going to be depend where you are located in the US as well. I'm in Texas, which think most southern states have bad obesity rates.

My husband and I made the same observation when we were at Six Flags last summer... it was something like 50% of all people we saw could definitely be classified as "overweight", nevermind obese. It was prevalent in both adults and children.:brokenheart: I think about this anytime I go to places like Cheesecake Factory…

LOL- ya know, all the parasites you swallow with the sea water will latch onto your insides and the fat will melt away! Not as effective as raspberry ketones and master cleanse but still a great option.

Oh girl I think we've alll been there! One thing I try to do is instead of thinking back to a whole week gone by and wasted... think about the positive things you did during that week! I'm certain you didn't eat unhealthy ALL week or completely just let yourself go. If you did- you wouldn't be on here. For me, last week…

This!! I used to not like Greek Yogurt but now its all that I eat. The other stuff is waaay too sugary! I usually have plain greek with fresh fruit or splenda,.
