1200 cal and 500-800 cals burned 5-6 days a week? If this is accurate you've definitely got metabolic damage. Your net calories isn't even enough for proper organ function. I'd increase my calories if I were you. Then you will probably start losing weight. Doesn't sound right I know but that's how it works. Gotta fuel the…

If you're serious about losing the weight, cut the alcohol. It's really one of the worst things you can consume if your goal is to lose weight. Also I'd look into measuring your portion sizes correctly. I have the feeling something is off.

I would continue eating as you were eating when you were doing the exercise as your goal is to recover. It doesn't hurt to have some rest days here and there. It's beneficial if anything.

Everyones body is unique and stores fat in different places. You can't just pick a spot and work on it. Losing overall bodyfat will get you to your goal. There are plenty of videos on YouTube for routines you can do at home with only bodyweight. Cardio circuits, ect.

My girlfriend couldn't even budge one a little bit when I started training her, she can now do 5+! She was so happy when she got her first one. Awesome strength training exercise. Work your way up on the lat pulldown machine at gym or the assisted pull up and you'll complete one in no time!

I'd recommend atleast have a small carb/protein meal 1-2 hours before going to the gym if you were planning on doing any sort of strength training. Low intensity cardio first thing in the morning is alright though and is almost an everyday ritual when I am dieting for a photoshoot or something!

The last person fails at this game. The next person is cool.

This idea is relevant to my interests

I don't think I could date a woman without muscles.. lol

Sad story, I am glad you have decided to make a lifestyle change. Weight management is 90% nutrition. I can't stress enough hitting your calorie goal and macro's if you want to see progress. Work your way up slowly on the strength and cardio. 2 1/2 hours seems a bit overkill. Gradually work your way up. I have seen…

Try living with a guy that sleep walks into my room and chanting what sounds like satanic rituals into my cupboard on a regular basis.

Get her some supplements? Although you probably shouldn't listen to me, I am horrible at these kinds of things. Last birthday i bought my mum tea towels. Suffice to say she wasn't too overwhelmed on the gift...

your daughter is cute and so are you.

towel, 2l water jug, lifting gloves, lifting straps, weight belt, dipping belt, tricep bands, some shortshorts and a singlet 8-) lol

As long as you are hitting your desired calories and macro's I can't see a problem with it. The carbs before bed is bad is a myth. If you can, try and have your beloved cereal in the morning or close to the time when you exercise. Your body will need those carbs the most and put good use to them!

Grind oats into powder. Take 40g of powdered oats and 40g of standard WPC or WPI protein and mix. (Optional- Add tbspn Flaxseed Oil, or flakes.) Voila. 300kcal+ Healthy, Low GI, High fibre, Protein shake.

I am currently eating around 3,700 calories per day and anywhere up to 4,000 on a weight training day. I am gaining weight at a very slow rate, which is my aim at the moment. It is tiresome to eat so much food sometimes, and the food bills suck. I envy some of you that require so much less to maintain weight. Ah well. Pay…

I'd reccomend getting a juicer if you plan to do this on a regular basis, but generally a blender will suffice for most things. Oh, also make sure you clean it properly. I got very ill, many times before realising the seal at the bottom had mould underneath. -_-

My girlfriend has almost finished her 12 week program with great results. I think it is a pretty intense program, whenever I look over at her when we are in the gym she is straining more than me!

Their are a couple of products which do actually help a little, but for the most part they are not worth the money and mostly just hype. I just stick to a caffeine + green tea combo

No no, some of the weight loss may be contributed from water as well as fat loss. Hence the amount of weight you've lost on a calorie deficit that is more than you expected.

I think some people would be quite jelous of your metabolism in that case ! :tongue:

Whenever I am craving something i know is going to be more calories than I should be having I slightly reduce my the calories in all my meals around it and try to make sure the cheat meal is some where within 2hours of a workout so the calories I am taking in are getting put to good use for recovery as it is the anabolic…

Did you cut back from food by a lot when you started using MFP? it could be the drastic change in calories affecting your weight so much. I personally find when i go from a muscle building phase into a stripping fat phase I will drop upto 10lb in the first 2-3 weeks even on a slight restriction of calories. The majority of…

I beleive for general weight loss first thing in the morning before food would be your best bet. But having said that after eating would be fine also, the difference is very minor. A burnt calorie is a burnt calorie regardless

When im really in a rush i'll just cook up 1/2 cup - 1cup of egg whites, add lowfat cheese, salt and pepper and have it on a couple of slices of wholegrain toast. It still tastes pretty bland. So i add Low sugar Pizza sauce or tomato paste (which only has like 20cal) to the mix or spread on the bread. Adds a whole new…
