You sound so together and well adjusted - well done

Go back to basics - use this site http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bf/ to get your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) do not include your excerise just you normal daily lifestyle and then eat 515 calories per day less than that for each pound a week you want to lose. Set this as your goal here. Calories in = calories…

I do a limited carb diet of about 100-120 grams a day that works for me and I seem to doing well but the secret is to get a blood glucose monitor and note your blood 2 times a day on a revolving cylce Day 1 When you get up - fasting then 2 hours after breakfast Day 2 Before lunch - 2 hours after lunch Day 3 before dinner -…

I am a real believer in weight training. I saw that you do not lift in your routine. When you lift weights you build a little muscle, it makes you look better firmer and toned but it also burns just a few more calories than fat to maintain so you get a continous slight increase in your TDEE. People here sometime think this…

Nice NSV! well done

This is just too funny - love it

I quite often mix them it is just another way of getting a bit more protein and calcium into the mix. I think your boss was mistaken:flowerforyou:

OMG - great job - you look amazing

Amazing - Inspiring and true love too!:heart:

Look I am sure some one has said this already but I think your TDEE is wrong. When you set it it you should set it to to your activity level without the excersie you do IF you want to eat backk your calories - else you are counting them twice. Try re-doing you cal with a activity level set for you dialy job - desk work =…

You have lost 5 lbs since October - we are only half way through Nov so you are losing like a pound a week - this seems right to me - you should not lose too quickly it has a tendancy to come back if you do

That is funny! Well done, you look amazing!

You look beautiful!

LOL - I heard something similar on the play ground about.....

Make a big salad with all your favorites in it at the begining of teh week (do not put on dressing unitl you serve it) keep is alrge tupperware or ziplock, when hungry grab a bowl full add chopped lean ham or chicken or turkey (home made is best but low sodium deli meat works) add low cal dressing of your choice - Eat - it…

I think both sexes are great at denial - I totally agree I 'see' more now than I did before I started I think my eye avoided the fat LOL

Very interesting. I see out of shape men with really good looking slim women all the time in Los Angeles - the 'value' of a male is tied up with their abiltity to support you and your children well, which I think, in the modern world has very little to do with physical fitness and more about power and money. So if they get…

You look just amazing!

I think you can eat quite a lot of veggies plain cooked or with spices...waht I watch is closely is protein carbs and fatty stuff. But you can have load a of cabbage, spinach, kale, mustard greens, broccoli, cauliflower etc etc etc

Interesting

Wow! you look amazing!

No not really - I pick something plain and ask for subsitutes - 'may I have extra veg instead of the fries' pick 2 starters at an itallian joint instead of pasta or pizza - anti pasta plus a salad or a soup and salad always ask for any dressing and sauces on the side and if the worst comes to the worst and you have a bad…

Great job! It must be so nice to be so healthy!

What gets me is the serving size on a lot of things - they are so small to make it seem like you can eat 'whatever' it is only 120 cals - but then you see there are 6 servings in the pack! This bugs me so much

Not if you have your goals set for weight loss you are already in a calorie deficit you will lose weight. Jts remeber the burn rates on MFP are way higher than the real burn rates cut by half to be sure or get a HRM

Nice one!

Pretty darn amazing! - well done

WTG - you look amazing!

The topic may be over worked but I still have not seen any scientific proof of it - it is just anecdotal at best or an old wives tale at worst

congrats!
