i did everything i could to lose and all i could see were the side effects of my medicine(anxiety med) and it causes weight gain. You gain weight no matter what. So i dont think its just an excuse but an actual fact. here are a couple of meds that cause weight gain health.com/health/gallery/0,,20545602_13,00.html

well aware of that awesome thread but the problem is so much is in there. Would rather see what helped some achieve this goal

and i put my food in here and my calorie deficit wont be a deficit as i will be going over. i did weight lift this morning but unsure if it will make any dent to the deficit

for me i have eaten so many eggs and a healthy fat that its annoying and getting a bit much. i have learned to eat cleaner but it sucks of the limit i have. The only thing im allowed is oatmeal, sweet potato, brown rice, quinoa and ezekiel bread. it isnt terrible but annoying. i have carb days and non carb days. All i want…

ok because i have been on it for one week and its fine. Problem is im very limited.

what does spin my wheels mean?

can guys join? if so, put me down

is this a menu? lol...

4 days of lifting 60 minutes each and 35 of Insanity dvds on my cardio days (2 days)

this might be my issue. im gaining weight but i believe its from my antidepressants and strength training.

good info. thanks. Im gonna stick to my 12-10-8 and until failure... see how it takes me for 3 months. if its not good or no progress , i will switch

you guys are offering great advice and i appreciate it. the reasoning behind my questions is my dilemma. Im trying to burn fat and get strong at the same time. Which i think is doable. The problem is im on anti depressant medicine for which its making me gain weight. Im not letting that stop me from trying to beat that…

how do i determine this?

gotcha... thats good to know...

so when is a HRM good for then? its almost as if it wont be able to track anything except for when on the treadmill, stepper and elliptical

to keep the body guessing. if you dont think so, then please let me know of some good ways of approaching this. love the feedback. and what cardio?

i cant squat(because of my neck) and deadlift (neck as well). Im just trying to keep the muscles thinking different

what is HRT?

i have been lifting for awhile but this is on my own and im getting stronger. The thing is i have been doing the same routine for awhile and want to change it up every 2 weeks.

im looking for strength and muscle definition. Im pretty sure the definition comes with the diet and cardio combo to shed the fat. But i want to get stronger too. so question, for the reps i said should just gradually add weight? for the 4-6 rep range, should it just be the heaviest weight i can do? how many sets?

Im down... for me it would be a two a day workout day. I go to the gym in the morning and then workout at night.

im looking for a peanut butter which i dont have to stir and just have it ready to go

any other options

optimum nutrition natural chocolate with pb2 chocolate and dark chocolate silk almond milk

thats true it measures it all. I use to measure it during strength training but i was told here on MFP that it doesnt give you the correct calories burned. For strength training, there is no way to do it and is only good for cardio

strength training isnt good for polar stuff. There is no way to measure it.

anyone?

i didnt try that but might be interested in trying. i mean hell, i will try anything

how much ibuprofen?

thats what my doc says... he says that you just have to keep going and just ice it and ibuprofin it!
