I did this and it has helped me alot!

I'm ready for my whoosh LOL....thanks Sara!

looking at it, it's the cardio I think...I feel awesome after the lifting

One other think I want to throw out there is I am just freakin exhausted after I do my workouts, and feel pretty good while I'm doing them, but after I could sleep for the rest of the night. This is not normal for me, when I'm done working out, I usually am like the energizer bunny who can't stop. My sleep habits are…

ok guys...Feeling very frustrated this morning (and freaking out a bit too), I know that this is just part of the journey I'm on, but it's frustrating nontheless. I've been following the calories and macros you guys suggested. I do cardio 3-4 days a week (I'm wearing a heart rate monitor so my calories burned are logged…

New Balance Minimus! :love:

Happy Birthday Sara!! Thanks for all you do!

If that's all your eating every day, maybe you should increase your intake a bit and see if that works...I was having the same issues and increased a bit and the scale started moving again...I also started lifting weights so not sure if it was the increase in cals, the weights or a combo of both, but it worked!

Great job!! Congrats to you!

I was diagnosed with anxiety about 14 years ago. It is controlled by meds. I have lost over 60 lbs on it, and have never had problems losing that had anything to do with my meds, more my calories and macros. More than that I went to therapy for a while and learned some great coping skills to "talk" my way out of an attack…

This is what I do. I had stalled and at the recommendation of SideSteel and Sara I changed some things up to follow TDEE and the scale has definitely started moving again. I feel better as well!

I did get the scale and have been weighing everything. I actually found that I had been short changing myself a bit :) thanks!!!

So ive been following the calories and macros you set for me for ten days, as of this morning I'm 2lbs down which is awesome since its the first time i've seen the scale move in several weeks! A couple of things ive noticed: workouts are great. I am starting Stronglifts 5x5 this week and will strictly go to spinning 3 days…

Awesome! So glad to have some confirmation that Im doing the right thing! Thanks!!

Believe it or not it actually helped me LOL. Of course at the time I was furious:angry: :tongue:

I used to weigh every day but not anymore. I would get frustrated and would complain to my husband about it. He took my scale away for a month and told me there were more important things than that number on the scale and you know what? He was right. I weigh for sure once a week...I may climb on another day midweek if I'm…

I used to be this way, then I found something i really like to do (spinning) and I rarely ever miss now. I love going and feel so much better when I do! I would MUCH rather be on my spin bike than cleaning house :tongue:

Thank you!!

Love this article! Everyone should read this....Thanks Sara

Just joined! So far no bite marks, LOL!!

I never even thought about counting cleaning as exercise...if that worked id be a toothpick right now lol. My problem is that I WANT to do it at the gym but all the women at my gym treat the weights section like the firey furnance. Guess those guys better get used to me because I'm movin on in!!

Thanks so much!! I feel great but I am definitely ready to get the rest off! Let me know what you decide to do :smile:

I had looked at Stronglifts because I had seen it in the forums a couple of times but hadn't looked at SS. Is it crazy to want the knowledge from SS but use the Stronglifts program? I guess I'm asking if I could get totally confused looking at both? I've worked very hard to get where I am and big weight and the…

Tagging for reference!! Thank you!

Very interested! :)
