Yes...100% yes I got the Ultra on Amazon for$109 which was almost $50 off and I love it.

To lose the weight... Seriously I just ate less, it really is just math. For fitness, body composition and strength I lift heavy. I lost 42lbs in 8 months, I slacked over winter and gained back 10lbs. Slacking wasn't my mistake though, my mistake was getting down over the 10lbs instead of celebrating the 32lb loss and…

365 days today. 32lbs loss or 17.9% of body weight. Slacked over winter and gained 10lbs back or my loss would have been 42lbs on Dec. 1, 2014. 147lb 5'4" female. Profile pic is this month.

I do not think it is the time to be calling the men inferior due to their yoga skills.....or did I just say that since I assumed the imbalance was favoring the women.......damn sexism. ***joke

Calm down, there is no way you ate 31,500 calories over maintenance (9 x3500) since Easter. I gain scale weight after holidays and it is normally gone by the end of the week. High sodium and if you did slack on muscle workouts then just worked your muscles hard this week, they will retain water. Also hormones, just do what…

In....well because I am waiting to hear about the toxins you sweat out while being wrapped in plastic. To answer the op, it can work sorta for an hour or so, but if you drink anything it comes right back. It is just a dehydration thing.

I realized that too, so erased. Just had the need to defend Jo's use of 'than'.....think I am done foruming for now

Agree with all of the above. Giving in will only make it worse, the behavior is comparable to a toddler having a tantrum. Him punishing you is extremely passive aggressive and manipulative. Counseling would be best, that man needs a wake up call and when he gets it he may act out worse.

Brush it off, I thought the 5 second rule still applied.....darn it.

^^^^^ This x 100% Seriously that comment was near strike worthy and your a mod. Sorry but it was really offensive.

OP, now you brought in clean eating....lmao ...runs....ducks....and hides while eating ice cream.

Reading the op and a few pages back, it is amazing me that you have some of the most knowledgeable people on MFP offering you advise and you refuse to state your goals. Maybe women should train different than men...I lift and my husband prefers cardio.

• Take it one day at a time • Realize weight loss is NOT linear • Understand weight fluctuates due to...well damn near anything • It really all boils down to math and thermo dynamics • I hate being told NO, so moderation is key • Each individual has their own struggles • In almost a year I have yet to find out what the…

Not proof but by personal experience.. Since I started lifting my bp has gone lower (was never high, but now it is optimal) and my resting heart rate has decreased significantly. I am still 'over weight' 26bmi (5'4" 147lb) but wear a us size 6 currently and small/med. I also hate cardio and avoid it like the plague. ETA...…

With only 28lb to lose, you should only be losing .5-1lb per week. That means only eating 250-500 calories below TDEE, it is extremely easy for a minor miscalculation to cost your deficient for the day. Sometimes to give yourself a mental break, continue as you are but give yourself a fitness goal ie: run a 5k, lift xx lbs…

OP, I am a bit confused you say here "I'm not saying everybody should share my point of view" but... You asked for people with a goal to become thin to reassess their reasoning. That is condescending, negative...especially when you state "If you are attempting to look like them, chances are you will fail.". You accuse "…

When I started I wanted to be a certain size because it was the size I was for 80% of my adult life (including after kids). I also set my weight goal for 'my normal' weight range. The conclusion I came to was... A: It was going to be hard work. B: It was going to be a lifestyle change. C: I enjoy working out. D: I take a…

Weighing food is needed when the deficient becomes so small. Eating back exercise calories are the extra calories mfp gives when you log exercise. Finding maintenance takes some people forever, you are a step ahead. Weighing food will give you the true calorie number. Then it is just math. The weight fluctuations you…

First...Awesome job maintaining the 2 stone loss! Have you reset your goals after the loss? Smaller bodies burn less, also the amount safe to lose decreases....so the deficient is smaller. Having a smaller deficient make the loss slower and the margin of error pretty much disappear. Normally when weight loss stalls for an…

Saw this and figured maybe it was me. Nope instead I flagged you #2 but I erased it. Sorry o:)

Not one reply told you to eat less, they were just stating the general rule. Calories in vs calories out. There is a difference between your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) and exercise burn. Your TDEE is your BMR (basil or basic metabolic rate) plus anything in addition to being alive and having organ function, such…

Simplest.... Math, calories in vs calories out. It really is that simple. Here is my basic advice, not a fad, just basic math. Also quit listening to those that last time they lost "?", they obviously regained it...... *Log EVERYTHING *Weigh Solids *Measure liquids *Exercise for fitness (weight lifting is my…

I am a bit surprised that I didn't see the number one mentioned thing in the forums....weigh and measure everything. Eyeballing is only guessing. Also 1200 (measured) calories is way too low for your current weight even if you were a couch potato. *Log EVERYTHING *Weigh Solids *Measure liquids *Exercise for fitness (weight…

Keep the scale in one location. The number is irrelevant as long as you always use the same location, the number that matters is the amount lost or gained. Also your weight will change through out the day, I always weight 3-4 lbs more at night, some how I sleep and it all goes away. The trend is the only numbers that…

This would probably be best in its own thread, it will also receive more answers. Starvation mode is a myth, that had to be stated first. As for your calories, I can not remember the conversion for stones but the smaller amount you need to lose, you adjust your weight loss goals. Nearing goal you should only aim for 1/2 or…

If your pregnant, you can set your goal to your current weight and that will be considered maintenance calories. Then you can just log the mfp way. When you track your weight it should still stay fine. You may also want to increase the calorie number that mfp gives you by 500 calories or so. This really depends on your…

The same way us women do....lift heavy (squat, dead), lunges and any other posterior chain exercise. Squat baby, Squat! :drinker:

^^^^This.... Reps up towards 20 is pure endurance. Personally I was following stronglifts 5x5 (switching to 5/3/1), strength has increased, jean size has decreased and body parts are disobeying gravity more to my liking. Compound lift (bench, ohp, rows, squats, deads...there are other) reps are great at low rep 1-7. For…
