I just had bacon, pepperoni, and sausage pizza yesterday. Yum! 2 slices and I still hit my macros. :smokin:

:heart:

This is awesome! You look fantastic in both pictures, but I love seeing recomp side by sides. :flowerforyou:

:love:

:heart: Hatebreed and Earth Crisis Boy Sets Fire is a favorite of mine that's along those same lines.

MFP builds in a deficit to the amount of calories it tells you to eat everyday, WITHOUT exercise. That's why it adds extra calories to your day. You are supposed to eat those back.

Sure, as long as you don't mind the crazy. :tongue:

My family has cake and booze at every occasion. Even funerals. I say skip it.

No cake and no booze? Can it even be considered a wedding at that point?

I'm not a huge ice cream fan. (don't throw anything at me) Can I substitute cupcakes?

Bacon New york strips Potatoes Bacon Eggs Sausage Bread Bacon Hot sauce Cheese Chicken breast Bacon That about covers it.

Me too! Small world :happy:

Me too. Out of my 8 tattoos, I have three that I actually put any real thought into.

:drinker: These are things I wish had known from the beginning. It would have saved so much frustration. :flowerforyou:

I say the first one after heavy deads often.

It took me a year and a half to lose 50 pounds. I'm glad it did. It increases my chances of not ever having to lose it again.

That's so sad. Poor wasted bacon.

That's what I was thinking. I eat some form of bread, pasta, potatoes, rice every single day. As long as I'm under maintenance calories, I lose weight.

:happy:

That's fantastic!!!

I keep the same exact workout schedule. If anything, it has helped with symptoms. PMS, cramping, etc.

I haven't read any of the other replies, so I'm probably repeating what others have said... Maintain the muscle you do have. The goal is to be losing fat with a minimal amount of muscle. Lifting weights helps you accomplish this. Strength goals. Even when I wasn't making progress weight loss wise, I had strength gain goals…

+1 I always feel like I looked fantastic, until someone posts pictures. :grumble:

I used to eat intuitively. I got fat. Like others said, the goal is to get to a place where you don't have to track/weigh/measure everything, but it's a great starting point for the majority of overweight people.

Yup.

One thing at a time.

My brain took too long to catch up to my body. By the time I decided to pull out my old/smaller clothes, they were all too big. :happy:

Do what YOU can stick too. I eat many small meals throughout the day because that's what works for me, not because I think it will speed up my metabolism.

Big difference.
