I never even look at that thing. I just log and keep it moving.. as long as I know i'm still losing i'm cool.

I don't eat red meat or pork so... generally chicken, turkey, peanuts, greek yogurt, whey, cheese, and peanut butter. My plight is I also have to manage my cholesterol so it's not as easy to just scarf down a bunch of meat without going over my daily goal. Greek yogurt is a God send though. The Kroger brand gives you 23g…

Nope, I just follow IIFYM and eat what I want to eat everyday. If there's a day where I want to eat something that won't fit into one meal then ill skip one of the others to make it fit. Like, some days I fiend for meat loaf, mashed potatoes and grazy, asparagus and mac & cheese but I know there's no wayI can get that into…

If you do it slow while lifting weights, you can. I did it and have some stretch marks on my sides obviously but nothing too terrible. I don't have any loose skin though since I lifted weights the whole time and didn't go crazy doing something like losing 4-5 pounds a week. 1-1.5 pounds a week + weights = success for me.…

Hell I gained 10 pounds in a week and half while eating at a deficit some kinda way.

I eat ice cream, nutella and chocolate syrup regularly and have not one problem losing weight constantly. I fit it in my calorie intake for the day and continue to lose, no problems. I don't believe in depriving myself TOTALLY of anything, it's a simple matter of moderation. The only people that have issues with that most…

5'8 160 and you're trying to lose 15 pounds??? The BMI for 5'9 is 165.... 15 pounds sounds excessive. Are you a male or a female? And generally, if you're starving your body is trying to tell you that you're not eating enough. I'm 5'9 177 right now and I can eat roughly 1500 cals a day and not be hungry at all..and this is…

This varies by the man basically but I actually hate pancake butts. I love to see some meat back there.

FYI, you aren't going to lose weight every week. If you constantly base your progress on the scale you'll be doing nothing more than disappointing yourself. I had a point where I stopped losing and actually gained 4 pounds. Didn't sweat it, kept doing what I was doing and within 2 more weeks I dropped 10. The body just…

I log everything a day in advance. It allows me to plan out my meals and avoid having moments where I may be too lazy to go to the grocery store or go to a restaurant instead. That way I can take out the meat from the freezer and put it in the fridge so it can thaw overnight and when I get home from work all I have to do…

It depends how much I go over. I messed around Friday night and got caught out late and hadn't eaten so I had to bite the bullet and get something from Wendy's. Put me about 500 cals over for the day so instead of just cutting 500 cals out yesterday, I burned 400 calories in cardio and cut 100 cals out of yesterdays meal.

I used to, until I realized all of those little things tend to add up when you're checking the scale. Now I log everything... right down to the exact seasonings.

I'm always amazed at the amount of terrible information some trainers tend to give. When I joined my gym they gave me one with a week of complimentary workouts and he was the absolute worst. I did one session with him and opted to just start working out on my own. Just remember, not every trainer is a good trainer.

I'm going to wait it out for the rest of this week and if nothing happens ill bump it up 100 calories.

That's kind of what i'm thinking as well. Just got nervous when the loss stopped all of a sudden. I've come too far to stop now lol

Thanks for the advice

Can you read? I've already done the whole eating at my TDEE minus 20% thing and the TDEE number was INCORRECT. And I know it isn't a quick fix considering i've been cutting since August of last year and losing roughly a pound a half a week steadily. Perhaps you should ask more questions before jumping to conclusions. Just…

Youll probably get a variation of answers from eat less to eat more lol. I don't really do much cardio anymore but lift 4 days a week. I actually just started my new program this week breaking the lifting down into days but haven't plugged it in yet since i'm logging it in another app.

Going on about 3 weeks now. I've actually gained about 3 pounds and just stalled there, i'm guessing water weight.

I'll tell you now that for me the "calculated by formula" TDEE for me is nowhere near right. When I eat at that number I gain weight every single time so I don't use it anymore. Supposedly it's 2500 yet if I eat that I gain roughly a half a pound a week, which tells me my actual TDEE is lower than what i'm given. I'd…

Not at all. I'm around 180 now, trying to get to 165.

The carbs keep me away for the most part. Like I had bought a pineapple not too long ago and chopped it up. Weighed it up and 1/2 a cup of it was nearly 20 carbs. Considering I have my carbs set around 110 for the day that would've been just too much of a chunk gone.

I thought that seemed rather screwy
