I try and keep my carbs under 100grams/day. I've found that when I do that, my cravings for sweets (my total downfall) are at bay. I've been back at it since 12/1 with relatively minor slips (mainly wine related...) and I'm down about 8lbs on a diet of 1200-1600 calories per day.... I have 12 more lbs to go.

I'm just over 5'6" and currently have my goal weight set for 155. I got down to 148 a couple of years ago and had 22.5% body fat, but couldn't sustain it and am now at 165 after taking off about 9lbs of the regain. I know that 155 is sustainable for me without feeling deprived! Ultimate goal would be to have 23-24% body…

Oops... Double post. :)

Can they also order a salad with the pizza? We typically order in the last Friday of the month and when it's pizza, it's Pizza/Salad. I'll eat the toppings off of one piece of pizza and chow down on the salad. Happy medium. :)

OMG. WIN! Best GIF Ever!!!

I started Crossfit in 2009 and HATED RUNNING. Every running WOD (and even the warm-up) killed me. I ended up having to leave my gym due to a change of work locations and ended up quitting altogether. Fast forward to this year when I lost the weight I gained since quitting and started a running program. I was running 3 or…

THIS^^^^^ But make it champagne brunch. With LOTS of champagne. Yes... Champagne and I have needed to take a break. I just have a bloody mary now. ;-)

I agree with the others above and view it no differently than still water. I have a Soda Stream machine at home to make my own and always have it in the house. Water + Carbonation = Water, imo.

<these are my favorite shorts. Got them at Target before my mud run and they've been my go-to shorts ever since. It helps that they were less than $15. I also wear my Nike running capris on cooler days. For tops, I wear some sort of wicking shirt. I have a few tanks that I bought for running and then will mix it up…

My daughter could eat this every night of the week! I had to break up with Peanut Butter. It is the ultimate for me. Had to actually throw away half of a large jar in the garbage after eating waaaaay too many spoonfuls one binge-y afternoon. I'm now onto PB2 for times when a little is nice. Definitely not binge-worthy…

Thanks for posting this! I figured it woudl be MUCH higher than the figures you indicated. Seems pretty darn low. I wonder how it compares to an iPhone. Something tells me it would be potentially higher. :)

I went and had a BodPod test done about a month ago. It was super easy and cost me $75. I had been going to a place where you get BF testing via a scale that measures impedence (or something like that) through your feet and hands. Turns out my prior testing wasn't that far off. I was actually 23.5% vs 24.5%. The doctor…

I love you. Will you marry me?

Thank you! :) I nursed my children, but was always afraid to diet and lose my milk production. I think it's fantastic, OP, that you're working so hard to lose while nursing a baby and having two additional children to chase after. It is HARD! You may wish to think of it this way... If you're staying at the same weight for…

What is your point? That she should be reporting actual minutes breastfeeding everyday, or that if the above person can't site a reputable study that supports that breastfeeding burns calories, then obviously breastfeeding doesn't contribute to calorie burn. Why not just drop it?

Bump!

I started with Oceanside Crossfit in Oceanside, CA, but then quit for a while and now work further south, so my new home is Crossfit Del Mar (San Diego). So happy to get back into it. Already seeing results after three weeks!

Saving for later. Gotta learn this stuff.

Great timing of the bump on this thread... Looking to transition to TDEE for maintenance! (and perhaps leaning up more).

I lost my weight on the Medifast plan. I actually feel great, haven't lost muscle, but am now here on the MFP boards, trying to manage my transition to a lifelong maintenance plan that works for me. I have to say that I did start my weightloss on a low-carb plan (aka Good Calories, Bad Calories), but it was taking too long…

My husband lost about 30lbs on Slimfast two years ago and has kept it off. I think he's more of the exception than the rule, though. I tried it and ended up doing the "shake for breakfast, lunch, a few snacks, healthy dinner, dessert, cocktail" method of their diet and didn't lose diddly squat. Definitely not for me.

I started 1/27 and have lost 12lbs so far. Not too bad for 5 weeks and with only 25lbs to lose total, I'm happy with my results! Only a couple more months and I'll be at my goal weight!

I adore CrossFit! It is super intense, but don't let that scare you. If you find the right gym, you'll have a real comraderie and people will really boost you up amd make you into a better athlete than you'd ever thought possible. If you go in for an intro to it, you'll find that they really start you off (or at least they…
