Thanks this is great advice! I do have my daily goals set at 40/40/20. I have lost almost 10" overall doing 30DS and eating clean. I don't balance all my food to be equal calorie amounts maybe I'll play with that. Do you go by your BMR or eat at 1200 calories? I am going to switch up my workouts and do 30DS every other day…

The Fage 0% is really the only low fat I use. I suppose I could add those sugar calories too.Really confusing as it goes against most things you have EVER been taught about dieting and you see so many people losing tons of weight eating at 1200 or less. Do you count fat and carbs at all or just try to reach a good calorie…

So I just did this and my moderately active BMR is 2227. Are you saying I should cut 500 from that making my net calories per day around 1727? Look at my diary I only net about 1200 per day. I am not sure what foods to even add to get that higher calorie amount...suggestions? I have been stuck for 3 weeks now and getting…

I'm 44 and would love some friends that are dealing with how hard it is when you get over 40 :laugh:

You look fabulous!!

WTG!! You look great!

Just as I suspected she does contradict everything on here....so confusing I swear! I gave her a printed log of everything I've eaten and burned for 30 days! She wants me to ignore calories and lower my carbs to 30g or lower a day. She also says I should have about 90g or more of protein a day which I do and as long as the…

Nice! Great results!

True 44 is VERY young I agree ;) I am taking a months worth of tracking to my nutritionist this morning. I bet she contradicts everything written on here...I'll let you know!

Sorry I am 44, 5'8 and want to lose another 15 lbs. I think my age unfortunately is starting to make the weght loss side harder!

My turn to ask a question! I am a month in 4 pounds down and 10" off overall. I am working out 5 days a week doing the 30DS and adding free weights here and there. I have logged EVERY bite and stayed at or under 1200 everyday. I am surprised how slow the weight loss is. I don't eat low fat or processed foods and I try to…

Great job and results :flowerforyou: I am on day 3 of level 3 and have had great results in the inches lost (10" overall) department but the weight loss is stuck at 5 pounds!

Me too! Feel free to add me!

I am on day 2 of LEVEL 3:noway: I felt the exact same way but by the end of level 1 I was ready for level 2 and today I did Level 3! It does get eaiser and I do find that pushing through actually makes the pain go away faster. I do it 5 times a week! Push through you can do it!!

Me...Suburbs my whole life! Elgin right now.

You look great!! Keep it up!

Wow what a difference a year makes!! Congratulations!!

Moved over a belt notch ad my favorite black pants are quite loose :happy:

Me too! I'm 44 Mom of two boys 12 and 15 work from home 15(ish) lbs left to lose!

Me too and we have similar weight left to lose :smile: I sent you a request!

Thanks...makes sense! Ok what about Fat, Carb, Protein combo's is this a low fat etc way of thinking or just the net calories that matter?

Ok....I am very curious about this because I have been stuck! According to these charts I am actually eating about 1000 calories to little (900-1300 per day) Here is my problem. I am not hungry so at the end of the day when I am sitting at 1000 calories I feel like what the heck should I eat to have more calories that…

I lost my 44 yr old brother to alchohol 2 years ago and miss him everyday! You are taking your life back, CONGRATULATIONS!! Keep up the amazing work one day at a time :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
