I'm almost done with stage one, I only have the special workouts left, and according to the book's cals, I'm eating either at or above maintenance and I've lost 5lbs and about 16" overall. But I'm also obese and have a lot to lose, so take that for what it's worth!

Hahaha that vid is awesome! I've seen like all of those at my gym. There's one guy who verbally "yells" at himself about how he "sucks" at chin ups and theres another guy that sounds like he's doing inappropriate things will all his heavy breathing and grunting, it's hilarious!

Imo, if you're within 100 either way, and you've hit your macros, you're good to go! You can't be perfect on point EVERY day! I go over sometimes, and a little under sometimes, but generally within about 100cals each way:)

You're welcome to check out my diary, it's open. I eat every 2hrs, and I get up early to go to the gym, so I typically eat 7 times a day. My "snacks" are usually around the 200cal mark and my meals are around 400-600. If you feel like you can't actually "eat" that much, try high protein, higher cal smoothies and try adding…

I eat broiled tilapia all the time. I just put about 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil on it, season with whatever sounds good (usually pepper, paprika, ground ginger and crushed red peppers) then broil on high for 5mins each side. I eat that usually with broccoli and sometimes pasta/rice depending on where my cals are for…

Whenever I'm low, I add in extra olive oil, peanut butter, whole wheat breads, greek yogurt, and protein powder mixed with milk. You can check out my diary if you need some ideas, feel free to friend me too. I eat quite a bit every day, I usually have 400-600cal meals and 100-200+ cal snacks. Oh yeah, and a good high cal…

I have pretty much the same snacks daily. Almonds and string cheese, usually together, natural peanut butter on something, like celery/apple/banana etc. And my all time favorite snack is a greek yogurt "parfait" with mixed berries, usually from frozen, and a sprinkle of granola and chopped almonds on top, yum! A full…

I eat the same every day, with the exception being extra cals (200) on strength training days. So no matter whether I rest or workout, I eat the same.

I would also agree with pretty much everything everyone else has said. I have similar stats to you, except that I'm shorter, and now I workout less, and I eat more than you do. I have my MFP set to 2300/day, and I add 200 in on weight days. I do New Rules of Lifting for Women 3x/wk and I just lowered my cardio again to…

Hey, I haven't read every single post, but I wanted to tell you I was feeling like exactly the same as you just last week. I started NROL4W 4wks ago exactly and when I did, I recalculated my cals (I had already been eating more for about a month before that, and I had only restricted cals for about 4 days before I started…

Skinnytaste.com has awesome turkey recipes! I made turkey taco lettuce wraps, turkey meatballs and turkey chili from there, all delicious! I just usually have 2 servings to get enough cals for my meals lol:)

I'm doing both! I am starting week 5 of C25K this week, and it's my 2nd week of NROL4W. I lift M, W, F and I run T, Th, Sa. Last week was my first doing both, and my run days were ROUGH cause I was super sore from lifting, but this week, I'm definitely not as sore and I feel like tomorrow's run will be just fine. I plan on…

I've been "eating more" for almost 3 weeks now, and in that time, I've lost about 12lbs! Some of it was weight that I actually PUT ON when I cut my cals down to 1200! I started my weight loss journey about 4.5wks ago, and when I started, I just went to eating healthy, good food every 2-3hrs, but I wasn't counting cals. I…

Hi ladies, I'm brand new to this group and fall into the category of obese as well. I'll be starting this weight program on Monday. I'm 5'5" and 212 right now (down 15lbs since I started working out/eating right at the beg. of April) For the last 3 weeks, I've been following the "eat more to weigh less" board and the TDEE…
