According to my Fitbit, my TDEE is Scooby's "moderate" setting. It makes sense, since I'm doing SL 3x a week with some accessory lifts plus some light cardio such as walking/jogging or cycling. My weight loss is apparently consistent with the numbers (I picked -1/2 lb a week) BUT I usually have 1 or 2 unplanned "fat meals"…

I need a protein shake just for watching this. (or reading krok's workouts!)

:laugh: Portion control is key: I'll just have one of everything, please.

That's the reason why I'm on MFP. WE EAT ALL THE BREAD :laugh:

I walk around to make sure I get more steps than katro111 :laugh:

OHP tarts and sweet gainz for everyone :drinker: (now I need to make Bench Brownies or something)

Stand up for plates equality :laugh:

I'm a full time student, I do Stronglifts 3x a week and walk approximately 1h a day. According to my Fitbit my TDEE is around 2150, which would be Scooby's "moderate" and it's consistent with my actual weight loss :wink:

I'm 137lbs and I aim to eat at least 100g every day, but if I'm a few grams low on a non lifting day I don't sweat it. If I'm low on lifting days I'll have some greek yogurt or cottage cheese after dinner, even if it means going a bit over my calorie goal. Also, I pretty much only watch the calories on Sunday... It's my…

Squat 70kg 5x5 I thought it was going to be a nightmare but it actually felt ok. Just some iffy form on the very last reps, so I wonder if I actually did the math right with the plates :laugh: Yesterday's full rest and carb-loading probably helped a lot. I'll be adding weight to my squats only once a week from now on.…

Seems like a very good plan. It's basically what I'm doing and we have very similar stats. :drinker:

LOL :laugh: (anyway: no microwave or it will break your teeth. Oh, and I had a lobster tail with nutella filling once... It's probably the only time I ever bought something sweet and I didn't manage to get through the whole thing. I just COULDN'T. :laugh: )

So so yummy. I wanted cookies but…

I'm a short girl trying to lose the last pounds, so no crazy BMR here. I can have a reasonable portion of yummy things every day after I ate my veggies and my protein and healthy stuff. It's all about setting a reasonable calorie goal and learning moderation :smile:

I've started weight lifting two months ago because of all the success stories here. I was struggling with the "cauliflower, cardio DVDs and unhappiness" deadly combo, then I've started seeing pics of all those badass ladies at my exact same weight looking 900% hotter than me. There were plenty, but two of them really…

We all started with the empty bar or less! :smile: If you were already strong, you wouldn't need SL. Welcome!! :flowerforyou: :wink: @krok: so far, so good. I've read that it can be hard on your shoulder joint, so I've been adding weight slowly and using a shoulder-width grip. We'll see. Accessory work is really helping my…

they look like they worth every calorie. :love: :love: (I should add the espresso pudding I made for dinner because I had half a bottle of milk in the fridge which I didn't want to throw away. quick and yummy.)

I log it on Fitbit too. I pick "light effort" because of the looong rests I need between sets and it's around 200 cals/hour for me (MFP gives me the same result) My TDEE is around 2100 calories, I picked a 500 daily calorie deficit and I eat at that goal or slightly over on rest/cardio days (I walk/bike, nothing strenuous)…

Day 1: Zuppa inglese Day 2: Apple and cinnamon home-made mini cake Day 3: Ciacco's gelato (custard and chocolate sorbet) Day 4: Home-made carrot cupcakes Day 5: Moar carrot cupcakes Day 6: Last cupcake standing! They're still soft and awesome because yeah, real butter :heart: It's the same recipe I use and it's PERFECT. I…

crappy workout. my back was still a bit sore from the deadlifts and I'm not really eating well these days. thank god it's friday. Bright side: because of the soreness I could definitely feel when I wasn't using my back properly. DOMS helps with the form, not kidding! Squat 67.5kg 5x5 for the third time... moving to 70kg…

Bars!! :love: :love:

Day 1: Zuppa inglese Day 2: Apple and cinnamon home-made mini cake Day 3: Ciacco's gelato (custard and chocolate sorbet) Day 4: Home-made carrot cupcakes Day 5: Moar carrot cupcakes and perhaps some ice cream later. We'll see! [/quote]

Cycling season is killing me too! I may have to cut some squats too... I'm considering switching them to 3x5 for one day a week. Sorry squats, I love my bike :heart:

I also visit my parents on most weekends. I found that If I eat more during the week I can easily practice moderation on weekends and just have a small portion of that yummy lasagna or *insert any delicious food here*. If I restrict myself too much Mon-Fri then I want to eat all teh foods (and I usually do).

You got some great advice, I have nothing much to add. I just want to share a tool that is helping me A LOT with my weight loss: http://www.weightgrapher.com/ It's just a fancy app to track your trending weight, so you can ignore the fluctuations and focus on what you're doing. When your weight loss is very slow (lazy…
