Hi there! Judging from you picture, it looks like you have had plenty! Great job!

Your protein needs will vary based on your Activity and body composition goals. So what is too much protein?

Without knowing your height and weight as well as intensity of your exercise, knowing the right calories is hard to know. If you are strength training 3 times a week, 1200 will be low. Especially if it is intense. In regards to wanting to see results on the scale, get out of that mindset. Take body measurements instead. I…

Glad you are hear and working on taking control!

I find that many members o my team prefer to have the flexibility of creating their own menus while choosing ingredients from a food lists and knowing what calorie and macro-nutrient ratios to add into MyFitnessPal. I happen to be one of them. I'll message you the break down I offer my clients so you can use that to set…

If you are starving at your calorie intake it is not enough food. Any "diet" you can not sustain long term is pointless. Yes you may lose weight, but will gain it back and then some when you go off of it. Let's not even talk about the metabolic damage. Focus less on how little to eat and more on eating nutritionally dense…

About 2-3 days of eating and drinking normally should see your weight stabilize.

I would honestly use the recommended calorie intake outlined in the nutrition guide of your program. That intake accounts for calorie burn from the workout. When you are doing High intensity workouts, under-eating will not yield the results you are looking for. Additionally you should be planning you days meals ahead of…

I know how frustrating it can be to not see through your own commitment. That said, kudos for still trying and not giving up! It's the start that stops most people so at least you keep trying to start!

Way to take a step in the right direction! How much are you trying to lose? I myself am down roughly 90 lbs since I began my journey.

Might I suggest trying out a more paleo/primal lifestyle as a possible solution for you? Look at some of the following sites for information. This lifestyle may be what you need. There are more helpful sites than this, but it's a start: 1.) Primal Blueprint creator and formulator of the P90X supplement line Mark Sisson has…

Breaking a Plateau will take something changing in what you are doing. Dialing in your nutrition (and losing the alcohol) will be a major component. Additionally changing up your fitness will be your next step. If you aren't exercising, start. If you are and have been doing the same thing day in and day out, it's time for…

You are going to Love T25! I'm on Month 2. Amazed how effective it is. I'm 5'8" and was once 250 lbs. You can totally rock this out! Good luck!

Welcome aboard Marnie! Best advice I can give is to eat real food and things made with whole foods, not processed "diet" junk. Also, I find that the best way to get results tracking your nutrition is to plan ahead versus reacting to the day. Fail to plan and plan to fail. In other words, fill in tomorrows day of meals…

Standing ovation for deciding to take action and taker control of your health. As someone who has lost 90lbs himself, I realize that was not an easy step. Way to hold yourself accountable by posting here! Love it! Best advice I can give you is to keep it healthy. Short term fast fixes will only get you back to where you…

To answer the other part of your question, go with free weights, resistance bands and body weight. Do exercises that incorporate multiple body parts. A full body circuit can burn a ton of calories while toning muscle. If you are at a gym, have a trainer look at your form to be certain you are not hurting yourself. If at…
