Agree - I am a nasty, cranky girl without some carbs. I would spend all my time thinking about carbs....where can I get them, when can I have more, does this have carbs, does that have carbs, I'm so tired, I want bread, etc, etc, etc. So, I'd rather just eat at a calorie deficit, enjoy the foods I like, eat the healthy…

What recipe is it? Did they say to use a scoop, a level scoop, or a heaping scoop?
-
This, except I won't trade. I've got awesome "bulky" calves already.
-
Mine specifies a level scoop. But I use Trutein, so maybe it's different? I almost lost the scoop the other day and I was freaking out! How else would I know how much powder to use?
-
Agreed.

Be patient. You've only been at it for 2 weeks. Give it more time. Eat back your exercise calories. That's how MFP was designed. It's MEANT to work like that. You're not netting enough calories without them.
-
This. Keep a moderate calorie deficit and apply patience and time. You have 68lbs to your goal. I can guarantee some of those pounds will come from your midsection. You will lose stomach fat, but you can't control when or how much. Just keep going until you get the results you want. Strength training will help you maintain…

Has she discussed her concerns with her recruiting officer? I would think that they would have a training program for her - or at least a list of the guidelines she needed to meet so she knows what to work towards.
-
Yeah, I just checked the site too. Now I haz a sad. BUT THEY SHOULD EXIST. DAMMIT, THEY SHOULD.
-
Ok, I MUST try these. MUST.
-
No, it won't. Like the other posters said, you can't spot reduce. The only thing to do is keep losing weight/reducing your body fat percentage until they are gone. That takes time, patience, and a moderate calorie deficit. Crunches, planks, sit ups, and any other ab exercise you can think of are great for strengthening…

I'm just going to repeat again that you don't get "bulky" without a calorie surplus. You might notice your muscles getting more defined, as the fat covering them disappears. And when you aren't used to seeing muscles, you might freak out about that a little and think that you're turning into a she-hulk. This is not the…

Now, I'm going to have to try that. I had bread and butter at Outback yesterday and it was delicious! I didn't even think to sprinkle salt on it though.

Just wanted to spread the word about an affordable local race an hour north of Indy. The Michigantown Fair will be having our 2nd Annual Goose & Gander Overlander on August 10th at 8am. The race is on a paved course with professional timing and online results. Entry is $15 and includes a shirt. The race was a part of the…

More awesome proof that lifting produces OUTSTANDING bodies!! :)

Do you track all of your food? Do you weigh and measure it?

Welcome to MFP! My tips: 1. Don't worry about eating the "right" or "wrong" foods - just eat less. Keep a calorie deficit. Try to eat plenty of fruits, veggies, lean protein, healthy grains, fats, etc. But you can still have pizza, cookies, pasta, ice cream, etc. Just not as much of it. 2. Exercise if you want. You don't…

A mile is a mile. Speed doesn't matter, as long as you are getting out there. I average about 10:15 per mile, and I'm fine with that. I'm getting faster, but it's a slow process. Every few months, I shave a few seconds off my time. My goal is to get to 9:30, but that will still be considered slow by a lot of standards. You…

Not quite "super fit" yet, but I'm getting there. And I definitely have a ticker. If you'd like to take a look at my profile, I was definitely obese. I eat pretty healthy, but I can eat all the stuff Hoss listed too. It's called moderation.
-
What is your regular training pace per mile? About 10:15 What's your race pace? About 9:45 What do you consider a "fast" pace? Between 7:00/8:00 What's your goal pace? I would love to be somewhere around 9:00-9:30
-
Agreed.
-
It *may* help you lose a very small amount of water weight from your midsection. Those results will be reversed as soon as you eat or drink anything. As for actual fat loss, no it doesn't work.
-
I was just addressing the contents of your post: I'm sorry you're struggling with this - maybe it would help if you found someone to talk to? A counselor?
-
Those ladies are hot. So what? Sarah Hyland and Halle Berry look nothing alike either, and yet your boyfriend apparently finds them both attractive. Just because he looked at a picture of them online doesn't mean that he doesn't like you too. As far has being more secure in yourself - that's not something that anyone else…

The only major difference in individuals is what works for our motivation and the mental aspect of losing weight. The physical aspect is pretty standard from person to person (barring medical conditions, of course) Then don't set small goals. There is no reason to do so unless you find it personally motivating and/or it…

If you eat it, log it. That's they way MFP works.

Measure out 2oz of dry pasta - use a scale, not a measuring cup. I actually think that 2oz of dry pasta makes a fairly good amount of food. Paired with some sauce and chicken, it usually makes a pretty decent sized plate of food. I normally have a salad on the side and I'm filled up pretty well from that meal. Granted,…

You don't need a protein powder specifically for women - it's just a marketing gimmick anyway. Just go with a standard protein powder and mix it with milk or water, as your calorie goal allows and/or you prefer it. Currently, I use Trutein Chocolate Peanut Butter and I really like it. It's smooth and pretty tasty. I've…

Your definition of crap and mine must be very different because I happen to find pop tarts and donuts to be delicious. And sometimes, I really like cheap, crappy pizza. Papa John's is my favorite. There are times I want something "artisanal" or "hand crafted" and there are times that I want something covered in gooey…
