You seem to be eating a lot of carbs and little protein. I would try reducing some of the carbs (not low carb, but lower than you are eating) and higher protein. I know the big thing on here is calories in vs calories out. But if you can set yourself up for optimal fat burning by dialing in macros, then why wouldn't you?

Are you sleeping enough? Drinking enough water? Is this something you have spoken to your physician about? Do you keep a food diary, not just a what you eat and when; but something that you track what your emotional feelings are when you are eating? For me I know if I'm stressed out or anxious I will reach for food even if…

In the next 12 months: Run a 10K Sub 30" waist Spartan Race in 2016 Hand Stand Push Up Sub 20% body fat....because I secretly would like to do a bikini comp. Shhhhh don't tell anyone.

There are hundreds of products that claim to help, I think it ends up being trial and error on which one will work for you. I personally found that those spots for me look much better when they are well hydrated; I found a product that I love and have just been religious about using it (I'd share the name but I don't want…

We are a fan of Dave's Killer Bread as well, it takes delicious, full of fiber and pretty hardy. Generally I'll just use once slice and do everything open faced, or do lettuce wraps when possible.

Were you exercising prior to starting the program with the trainer? My thought based on this entire thread is you were eating too little to start with, now you've thrown it a curve ball by exercising 6 days a week. Yes you may be eating a little more than before, but you are also burning more calories than before. So now…

Bulletproof coffee is just adding fat to your coffee. We do coconut oil in ours. Some people do ghee or unsalted butter. I also do a scoop of protein in mine, helps me get in my protein and not skip breakfast (which I tend to do!).

We are in the middle of a "nutrition" challenge (box owner isn't a huge Paleo fan) and it's seriously killing me. No alcohol or sugar is making me cranky, no dairy would be the end of me. If ya'll have some yummy crockpot recipes you'd be willing to share, I'd love to see them. Chicken is getting boring.

Forever! I've only done it once, about two months ago; Rx'd 11:02. Definitely slower than I'm actually capable of

32, married with a 5 & 3 year old we live in Idaho and I work for the Government. I started CF September 2014 on a whim with my sister in law that was visiting. It was miserable and I loved every minute of it. I played volleyball and basketball in high school but I've never been a natural athlete. I like the challenge I…

Minimum 4, but I shoot for 6. Our programming is also set so that you can realistically go 6 days a week.

1/2-1 scoop protein powder and coconut oil=bulletproof coffee :)

I always check, no cherry picking here.

I shoot for a minimum of 4, 90% of the time I'm in 5 days a week though.

I just do 2 capsules once daily.

Yep! I take Nordic Naturals, fish oil was one of the few that my nutritionist recommended taking.

I feel ya on the scale not moving, so I try not to get on it often anymore. I just tell people I'm not weighing myself so I'm not sure but that I feel fantastic.

My coworker did. Epic fail. Basically fasting then maintence eating. It's not maintainable.

13:28 scaled, I blew it with the thrusters. I didn't stick to my plan.

I'm excited, I don't mind rowing or thrusters!

I log everything before I eat it, once I see the numbers it's easier to decide to pass on something. Also it gives me a chance to think about why I'm wanting it; is it mindless snacking? meal time? Am I thirsty? Just taking my mind off of it usually does the trick. You can still have your animal crackers and scallion…

Oh. My. Traps. 76 scaled, my cleans need some work; they aren't nearly as smooth as they need to be!

I agree with fish oil, also Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Unless you are deficient in B12 a supplement won't do much for you.

I would try to lean out some of my protein and add veggies; it doesn't like you are getting much fiber. Also try and ditch the soda, not just to try and get to your goal. But drinking diet sodas substantially increases your risk for stroke.

No jump downs here either, just not worth the risk for an extra .001 seconds.

I just wore a pair of Romaleos tonight while working on OH squats. Seriously, night and day difference. I will be getting a pair ASAP.

Sooooo I'm assuming you've never gotten inside a box (of any kind). To the OP, give it a go! I love it and my husband recently drank the kool-aid too; it's become a 2nd family to us!

^^Amen. I work full time, have two kids at home and a husband that is rarely home. I work out at 9 pm 5 nights a week. It's what works and what I could fully commit to.

I was reminded during my nutrition consult the other day; "the scale only tell you your relationship with gravity" it doesn't show you anything about strength, heart health, lung capacity, etc. I struggle with stay off the scale, after this last meeting with my nutritionist my goal is to lose fat and inches. So as of two…

Something with muscle ups
