Hmm, if you mention strength, do you lift weights? have you noticed you can lift heaver over time? I still got plenty of fat covering my muscles but I certainly went from 8 pound dumbells to 13 pound ones, so I know I got more strength.

I love a good craft beer, sadly most IPA's and stouts are heavy on alcohol = high in calories, so what I am doing now is choose beers with alc. % of around 4-5.5 tops and saving the big ones for very special occasions. I'm not gonna stop drinking but I have greatly reduced the quantity, last year I'd drink a lot with my…

WII games like "just dance" and "walk it out"

I weigh all...but not a single lettuce leaf , if it's a huge bunch then yes, but not one. Fruits surely cos dat sugar, I use my digital scale

Weight lifting + cardio. I try to walk daily, step count varies cos my sprained ankle is still a bit annoying.

Watching just right now? Hmm... Kakegurui, Fate apocrypha, Gamers, New game, KanColle.

Hmm.. when I was bit fat I wore lose clothes but only cos I didn't like that look, the way I looked. I couldn't care less about styles being "heteronormative" or standard or whatever, I got tattoos so I'm already on the "alternative" side. But yes, once I'm "hotter" I'll dress more and more "alternative girly" I love that…

It depends, if you are "vegan" for health, then that's just being plant based, you can be healthy eating other stuff. If however you are vegan for ethical reasons, well it's a bit tricky, I try to keep the carbs "low" for my macros, but the lowest I can manage is around 148 grams, no less. There are some pages about it..…

Hello, tons of winning here indeed!!! I post here to A) bump it and B ) keep it for some months in when I can post my own pics. I've been lifting for a while now but only recently I started to check macros and tweaked something about my food as well, so let's see how that goes.

Water is calorie free. Negative calories? If that was true... It'd be awesome! But no.

Rest day, but still gonna walk as much as possible. That's a must for every day :3

Not going with the mainstream of CI=CO :tongue: I still prefer to choose whole , more nutritious food than those that just fit my macros. cool for people who do it! but it's not for me,no sir. Weight lifting <3

Hi, I love cheat meals, it keeps me sane, but I try to go for something not too "unhealthy" , it's a bit easier for me since I don't eat meat, so no fast food, and if I am having,say, fries, I make them at home, from scratch. Things like that :) I don't drink soda but once a year I do, I like this one with 15% real juice,…

Hello, weight also fluctuates with things like period,how much you go to bathroom and stuff. Yes fruits have sugar but also have awesome nutrients, I just learnt to switch them up, like, strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe and papaya have less sugar than say bananas and mangos, so I eat more of the first and just one…

Breaking bad!

I recommend you get prepared to see,maybe not a change in size but a change on how the size looks. Let me elaborate, my bicep measure was 26 cms when I started working out,today it is 26 cms, but the calliper measures and the looks..there lies the difference <3 I of course still have overall fat to shed,but for me it's…

Like, focusing more on those cos we are usually..quad dominant or? Cos if it's "spot reduce" that won't happen. Now, besides the above..try them all with a sumo position,at least for me it makes a difference :3 Can't do lunges for my left knee,I do wide stance squats,not sumo but def not with my feet pointing straight.

It's close,walking distance. Known the owner since he opened up gym,he and his wife are awesome. He studied,in college,for this,no bro science there. He keeps an eye on us and answers my many questions He's never given me crap for being vegan,instead gives me recommendations I went from overweight to ok weight ,slowly…

Thank you ,thank you,well I think I'd only worry about weight if it gets as low as mmm 110? but I hope to keep going like this,then i can think of packing some muscle :smile:

None grew for me till I started with sumo squats and heavier bar squats. Press leg wasn't really good,well for quads...

I think it can be done, I am just 6 weeks into maintenance calorie intake,lifting heavy of course and 3 lbs have gone , stomach is looking a bit better, I've heard recomp takes a while but it's ok, cos it's slow but sure,instead of super fast and maybe having the eh rebound thing

Stomach has some flexibility. I used to eat little,too little,now I -have- to eat way more to perform properly at gym,at first I couldn't , so I make 6 meals now to make room for all of it xD

I was living a lie, a complete lie ,trying to fit in,for 2 years,and I gained 25 kilos, I know now I was punishing myself for allowing me to stay in a situation that really really really made me feel like.. it wasn't me, I wasn't living at all. Too long to explain hehe

build some muscle!! well, you of course want to lose fat,but i found that increasing muscle makes all better,so

I once had shoulder pain from tricep workout, cup press is it called? i dunno you hold dumbell with both arms,but it was cos i had poor form and used too much weight so..

what kind of work out and with what weight? dumbells? or cable machine?

That does take longer than the first 20 ,well it did for me.

Heyo, it's awesome you decided that,this site,well the calories tracking is really really useful and of course you may even make some buddies that will give you a hand :wink:

Yes,thing is it's kinda silly cos well you need a ton of veggies to make a big number,but yes I count all, except the 3 slices of onion I added to some taco cos i don't have a scale that is THAT accurate yet,that is why.

Hehe,hope this works, I've got still a looong way to go,but so far this is it.
