  • To the OP, I agree with this. You need to be in a deficit, do NOT eat back the calories you burned. And go with the 1500-1600. 120 is way too low and your metabolism will start to suffer. If you are hungry at night, have some protein. No carbs because carbs are energy. You don't need that extra energy when you are asleep…
  • Ditto. I usually measure mine after it's cooked. I LOVE basmati rice, i can't swallow brown rice, the texture is just too much for me. Basmati rice is good for when you need to finish your macros or if you just worked out, you need some simple carbs to replenish the ones you've just burned. You can also try Quinoa, it's…
  • F that. I was on a probiotic for 2 weeks and had severe stomach pain and embarrassing gas. I stopped taking them and I felt fine. They just aren't for me.
  • haha i think it's cute! i would try it on my 60lb pittie but she is too wiggly. i do, however, use my 25 lbs 2 year old daughter as a weight when i do goblet squat and "kid-bell" swings
  • careful when looking for cereals. they contain a lot of sugars. look for one that is 5 grams or less. also look for the amount of fiber and calories.

  • Hi Laura, I have a 20 month old and am a stay at home mom. Congrats on the weight loss! A big big part of losing weight is the diet. Eat every 2-3 hours, 5-6 small meals. I understand how being busy can interrupt your meals so what I do is prepare my meals ahead of time and it works out amazingly! For the snacks put them…
  • I agree. No need to go low carb. If you are doing low carb like no bread or pasta, no need to limit it, just make smarter carb choices. I have never seen anyone go as low as 50g a day for carbs, not even IFBB pros. Since this thread is back from late 2012, I hope you increased your carb intake by then and are feeling…
  • I looove them! I usually get the nut delight and the fruit and nut kinds. I have them for one of my snacks and it works in my macros. Looks at the ingredients list. Some of them look like they have all natural ingredients. I am not reading one word that I cannot pronounce, which is a good thing. If you can't pronounce it,…
  • I just recently quit PF after going to them for 9 years. I now have a 19 month old and I need to find a place that has childcare while I workout. PF doesn't offer any of that, nor do they offer classes. As for the pizza and bagels and candy at the front desk, I think that is ridiculous. They do not have your fitness as…
  • You look amazing! Like a completely different person! Congrats on the weight loss!
