You would need a deficit of 17,500 calories if it was "real" weight loss. If you are absolutely sure that you are under your calories than you are doing good. Keep it mind, that most people underestimate their serving size. Measure / Weigh your food if you have the slightest doubt. The reason why your weight is fluctuating…

I like to have Cheat "Meals" rather then Cheat days. I just don't eat for the whole day and just save up all my calories for one big meal in the evening. I can eat 2500 calories (My Maintenance) for my one big meal and I won't even gain weight. Edit: LOL with "Starvation Mode"

If you enjoy them keep doing it. I don't think you will be able to over-train with those programs.

Cat fight alert *Making some popcorn and getting a good seat.

Looks like the people you are asking are stuck in the past. They are basing their opinion on myths and bro-science. You absolutely can have sweets.

Will you lose weight with the HCG diet? Absolutely, But, it's not because of the HCG injection or pills. It's because you are eating 500 calories a day.

Hawt Awesome work

Awesome work Marie. 100 grams of protein / day is great strategy.

100% spot on. "Junk food" is not the enemy.

+1 All three books are excellent.

You can get a rough estimate of your body fat with a measuring tape: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html

+1 Yes you are pretty lean already. I think most people including me think you look great already. You could go a little lower but, I wouldn't recommend going too much lower. I'm gonna guess your body fat at about 18% - 20%. I think you have reach the state where losing a pound of fat will really become noticeable. Whereas…

Need to have pics to get a fair assessment. Do you know what your body fat % is? I'm just guessing here but, maybe you need to get even lower in weight. Lifting is great but, it takes a long time to see the results. The easiest way to look like you gained 10 lbs of muscle is to lose 10 lbs of fat.

For your question about "love handles": ^^ It's pretty much this. As far as best DVD/workout for weight loss: Losing weight is 90% Diet. Cardio work is not essential. Do something as long as you enjoy. playing some type of sport that you have fun with would be good. For me personally, I just stick to weight lifting. I…

+1 Post Workout Meal was once consider that most important meal of the day. Turns out it's just a myth though. Meal timing is not an essential factor. You will NOT be breaking down muscle by not eating before or right after your workout. The important thing is you get hit your macro goals for the day (Protein, Carbs, Fat).…

Most store carries them next to tofu.

^^^ This pretty much sums it up. PWO meal isn't nearly as important as it was thought to be. The important thing is that you get all your Macros including protein for the day in the 24 hour period. I try to get 1gram of protein per pound of lean body weight. I try to avoid protein powder all together now. I only take them…

Are you not eating because it's too late at night? As long as you are under your total calories, eating right before bed is fine. The "Eating late at night is bad for you" is a myth.

Unless you plan on working out 6 days a week and taking steroids, you will never look like a body builder. A natural female just can't biologically look like a bodybuilder. Technically you can't "tone" a muscle. I think the term get mis-used as simple having less fat around the muscle area. So, if you are looking for get a…

Fiber is sometimes counted as Carbohydrate. Since fiber doesn't have calories, that's probably why you have left over calories.
