Start lifting weights.

Agreed. As long as it's healthy.

I have strong legs and thigh gap. It's called squatting balls deep. <3 Sara Wait what? I just did a search on ana thigh gap. I am saddened to say the least.

You are correct.

Congrats!

Anything African means strong and aggressive. Where am I going with this? I don't know....

It helped out when I needed the extra energy. I believe EC increases metabolic rate up by 3%. I could be wrong on that number though.

It's a good read but I would take a lot of his stuff with a grain of salt.

Reduce your calorie intake by 40-50. Monitor for 2 weeks. 40 calories is 10g of carbs. DO NOT change anything else.

You should never select sedentary. Your BMR of 2548 sounds about right. I would start off at -10% below your BMR and adjust once weight loss starts to stall.

Very well said. I wish I had your grace. Personally, I would have told the guy to **** ***. That's me though. :D

I couldn't have said it any better. However if Crankstr, wants to hook up. I am down.

I make all kinds of gains on coconut oil. All kinds...

The Ephedra based one worked. The new version is trash.

Well said.

I wish I had the information that is available today, 5 years ago. There have been countless threads about: *Starvation Mode *Eating your calories back *6 meals a day *Weight lifting for women At this point I don't even bother any more. I have learned that people who post questions on here are not looking for answers, they…

I support this thread. 100%

At 377 lbs, 1800 calories is rather low. Especially if you're doing Power 90 everyday.

Metabolic rate is not increased with constant snacking. That being said, I have worked the night shift (midnight-8am) for a little over 2 years and the only issue I had was working out after I got off. I couldn't sleep, so I changed my workout to when I get up (3pm-4pm). I train fasted so I just wake up and go. There have…

If done correctly in a few months, you will be able do so and possibly have only gained a few pounds in the process. Your goal is to get your metabolic rate up.

As Sara said, slowly increase calories by 10-25g of carbs per week. Continue doing so until weight loss starts to slow down. Set a goal weight in which you will be steady for at least a week. If you want to take a slower approach you can drop down to adding 5-10g of carbs per week. Protein and fats don't change.

Congratulations!

Yeah, Quantum Leap got me. Sam never made it home. :-( Oh, and I didn't cry. I got a lump in my throat.

I wouldn't. As he said, log as 1 calorie. Look at the big picture. Now, if you start doing it once a week, I would change my TDEE. If it's once in a while, then don't change anything.

Probably sprinting the length of an air craft carrier.

People getting all excited, fighting, and even killing each other.... over a damn team.

I don't agree.

Who goes to the Cheesecake Factory to get a grilled chicken salad? If a meal blows your macros for the rest of the day, then deal with it. They should post all nutritional information. That gives me a rough estimate of my macro allotment for the day. Regardless people are going to get whatever they want.

Could you please cite the studies? Now, I am going on anecdotal evidence here but I have had no problems making gains while working on the night shift. Whoops SideSteel beat me to it.

Either increase your calories by 100 or decrease activity. Monitor for 2 weeks and see what happens.
