...bump.

Awesome :DD Okay

Awesome :D So..I should start using measuring tape? I usually use the little body fat calculator thingy every few months

I drink a minimum of a gallon a day. I just have a jug chillin' by my bed and I sip on it throughout the day when I'm in my room. I tend to drink half a gallon with breakfast alone then the remaining half spaced out through the day. It keeps me feeling full but it also helps with water retention when I eat a lot of salt

There's not much change in how my clothes fit either. I know the scale lies. It's evil.

I've been lifting for around a year now (but CONSISTENTLY for around 7 months). I followed Stronglifts last year when I first started but adding weight began to hurt me lol. @mathjulz- I technically "am" following the TDEE method but I eat a bit under that. I'm supposed to eat 1515, but I eat 1400 instead. When I exercise,…

The 5 day split was a combination of compound and isolation movements. My friend who is a competitive powerlifter drafted it up for me This is what I was following:

A little over 1700. I don't remember precisely. @ndj- I just recently started tracking macros a few weeks ago and up until this week I was following a 5 day split. I did cardio for a while paired with lifting but I hurt my ankle again so I'm starting to get back in the swing of it because I do like it. I think I'm going to…

I log all the oils, sauces, etc when I cook, too. I have a HRM and I use a food scale

5'4 194.6 19 30-60 mins of cardio 4 days out of the week, 1 day HIIT (15-20mins kettlebell/sprinting), 3x lifting (minimum) I've been on this deficit for 3 months now. I was for my TDEE -20 but I did that for 5 months and saw nothing different. In fact, I gained that entire time and I measured/weighed everything

**See post below**

I log/track consistently. I also eat back my calories..I guess the program aspect of it is screwed up? Because my diet has been pretty good

Thanks everyone. Sorry if I came off as rude I'm just frustrated because lately when I post things it's usually chock full of unhelpful replies talking about how indecisive I am. It gets old after a while. I'm aware I'm indecisive which is why I'm trying to make a decision. I just wanted some guidance.

My apologies then. And I've been trying. I've upped and lowered my calories and modified my diet. I dunno. I guess I will just have to hold out.

I have a boyfriend,thanks. I was hoping people were mature enough to move past that. And no, I can't decide on a program which is precisely why I'm asking for help. @Mia- Please don't take your boredom out on me. But i have been reevaluating my diet. I weigh everything and I eat 1400 and I'm still not losing so I'm unsure…

I just asked a question. Never did I say I was going to do it, that's why I'm asking because some people have experience over one thing than the other. For the things I've "stuck with" (which, I might add, is longer than a month or whatever you presume I follow), I've not seen results. Hence why I'm trying to educate…

Okay. It just had 3 work outs so I was curious

Thanks everyone. I'm back on track in regards to well, tracking. Hopefully I'll see something new. I decided to look into starting strength. It's similar to strong lifts. I have a question about it: can you add exercises to it or is that going to be "ineffective?"

I was just confused because I still weigh in the 190s

My goal is to be 15% body fat (:

Oh well I could find an alternative way to measure myself (:

Oh well I didn't mean specifically this week. It's been like this for a while. I just took this week to try and reset things. I didn't expect to retain as badly as I did but I had stalled out so I was curious as to why when I weigh my food. But I'll start doing cardio again.

Yeah I re-evaluated it. I always pick "couch potato" as my option so I don't overestimate but I work out often. The estimate for that is 1919 cals

The only HIIT I can do is kettle bell swinging. (I have a bad ankle) I've been on this deficit for a few months. It's 1400 so projected weight loss is 1.9lbs or something. I may up my calories if that is too much of a deficit but my "aggressive" weight loss for my TDEE is only like 1525 or something like that. I took this…

Free weights for about a year but consistently since June or July. To everyone else, I know I can't handle salt too well. It makes me swell up and this week my mom made a lot of high in sodium meals. But I will definitely look closer to my calories and combine lifting and cardio. I do weigh everything though so I didn't…

1. Yes. I do. My net cals are 1400 if that matters 2. Okay could you recommend me a good program (or programssss) to look into?

He isn't a boxer but he wants to try it. Therefore he wants to get in shape and build some muscle. I'm not telling him to. He wanted a partner but didn't know where to start. So I was trying to be supportive and helpful.

I didn't talk him into anything. But if it isn't helpful to him wanting to box, then I'll tell him.

Haha. -.- To everyone else- He does want to do this, he's just not had the motivation TO do it up until now. It's a "new year, new you" think. Thanks for the tips. And I'm not trying to "change him." He asked for my help because he knows I work out a lot, but I have no clue how to bulk so I figured I'd ask you all. I like…

Thanks everyone
