Overly restrictive diets tend to have this effect. Also, PMS. :laugh:

It comes from looking at jeans that you want to fit in! ... or the mirror when you see that you look like a sausage that's about to burst in your clothes.

If you were doing Keto/PSMF/RFL, then no poop wouldn't be unusual. But with the amount of fruits and veggies you get? That should be more than enough fibre to move things along.

Sure, I can fit the calories for some of these in my daily numbers but I have horrible self-control when it comes to these foods. I keep thinking, "hey, it's just a handful of crisps", then next thing I know, I've eaten the whole thing. >_< Right now, the way I control it (and what may only work for *ME*), is to try to…

The only way you'd seriously butcher your efforts is to give up completely. This whole 'making healthier choices' thing is difficult for the majority of us.

Quitting is never the answer when you're stalled. Adjusting your math is.

Don't make food your motivation/reward. Try making your reward better fitting clothes, a new videogame etc. Don't make your weightloss more miserable than it is by 'punishing' yourself when you don't hit your goals. At least for me, that works.

Power rack. Omg I wish I could have one.

If you want to do a crash diet like this, go read Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss Handbook. It's a more structured version of what you seem to be doing. Also, maybe try reading his other works and see if that works better for you.

I don't really see how a parent logging their calories is different from them drinking alcohol in front of them. I mean, kids see parents do child-inappropriate things all the time, just explain it well, and emphasize that grown ups do things differently.

Treadmill is smoother, pavement is not = more friction, therefore harder. Treadmill has cushioning, pavement does not = more pressure on joints Treadmill is predictable, pavement is not really = more challenging. Personal opinion of course.

How are your measurements though? Lose any inches? Clothes fit better?

Someone sounds sour that the OP does this and still has that kick *kitten* physique and seems to debunk that eating clean is the only way to go to get there.

1. Log everything 2. Discipline (stick to your counts, exercise even when you'd rather lick a toilet seat) 3. STOP THINKING ABOUT FOOD (my weakness lol) 4. Stay away from temptation 5. DON'T GIVE UP

I try to feed my chocolate addiction via those 60 calorie chocolate pudding cups. My salt cravings with the Kellog's chips that are like 110 cals for 27-30 pieces. When those don't work, try to occupy my mind so I don't think about food.

Don't throw the food out, that's such a waste. Make sure you tell her that you're just going to donate it to the Salvation Army or w/e.

This.

- Order grilled items instead of the fried stuff, - Skip or really limit your salad dressing - Skip extra stuff e.g. croutons/cheese (if you can D:)/sides that you're not willing to work off

So what else do you guys do after? I'm like 30 ish mins from my current gym, so driving that far for just about 30 mins of a workout seem weird yknow?

Controlled Labs has a bunch of awesome ones on their fb page. The one I like right now is: Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do. and If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up.

I think to myself, "Getting stressed is bad enough, but getting fatter AND stressed? NO WAY!" Also, I'm with rompers16. Exercise endorphins are pretty nice.

My mom never did an intervention to cure me of my fried chicken dependence.

I'm a real noob to this, so please bear with me. Stronglifts suggests starting a 45lb (bar weight) as a starting point for me. So how much weight should I use for my warm up? Do I even need to warm up if that's my max weight for the session?

THANK YOU for allaying my fears. I'm starting this program on Wednesday and I'm thinking ... wtf I'll be done in less time than I usually do cardio. At least now I know it's normal at the start.

I'm on day 12. Everytime I see the tracker say "Don't Stop Moving" when I feel like a wet rag and can't breath during the water breaks, I want to throw something at the TV lol.

lasagna stuffed peppers?

Depends. I can usually tell when I'm just being lazy and when I REALLY can't do it. My cramps sometimes get bad enough that my legs get numb, so during those times, I'm DEFINITELY not going to be squatting heavy. If you really can't, just don't work out and maybe eat less than normal. Or work it off the next opportunity.

See, I never understood this. Does caffeine perk up your fat so they fill up and not look so cottage cheese-y?
