hiit is very good for burning fat. aside from that if you are already active in the gym i'd say just review the f/p/c content of your macros. if your lower calories are comprised of high fat foods, you are expecting your body to live off of the stuff you're trying to shed. high protein, healthy carbs & natural fats are the…

In the am's I do about what you do, in the afternoons I don't really warm up. I stretch as I feel the need per set but my body has been up and moving for half a day by that point...

I drink 2 protein shakes a day - not how I prefer either but I work full time, go to school full time & then workout 2x a day - so between all that, I have minimal hrs to chew LOL. Other than that my protein come from : turkey (ground, low fat keilbasa, loins, etc) chicken (i buy breasts & ground 1/2 the bag myself & cook…

i lOVE krinkles protein chips. Great alternative + protein. Not S&V but they do in a pinch (i could eat s&v, dill pickle, etc large bags in one sitting.. I have actually... lol)

I've found blanching most veggies makes them hold a bunch more flavor. just bring to a boil then go right from the boiling water to COLD water, drain & your done. some of my favorite veggies are: broccolii asparagus (i thought i wouldn't but OH YA - only fresh tho non of that canned stuff) brussel sprouts(add salt & pepper…

our pasta dinners are pretty simple. but we use ground turkey & whole grain pasta. lately we've been using organic sauce too. if i want to spice it up I add shrimp instead, or turkey sausage... and any of those ways is better baked, just throw some low fat motz on top or some low fat cottage cheese in the mix & you have…

I'm on the same budget for a family of 3. we eat a lot of gound turkey (1.69/# here)* talapia (not sure the price but we get the family pk which covers 1 dinner & lunch the next day) + canned roasted tomatoes cabbage & turkey sausage (we also eat lots of turkey sausage) *speghetti w/ whole grain noodles *turkey burgers…

I didn't read thru all the posts but I just add a can of roasted tomatoes w/ it (usually preseasoned w/ garlic) I know it's pre fab but when I am eating fish everything else is uber lean w/ that meal so... I simmer it and then put it over my veggies :) yum!

I'm a mom of 1. she's almost 6 & i've never been classified as overweight. but i've suffered from the POOCH since high school (even at a my lil ole 107## ). . . the only time i've lost it was when I was down to approx 13% bf. other than that, i just deal with it LOL. my profile pic is from June. I am currently working to…

i think my macros are currently 35c/35p/30f. i love it. i only adjust by about 5% here & there depending upon if i'm cutting or not - in which case my fat is lower & my protein is higher.
-
Okay so since your question wasn't "help me think of excuses NOT to drink water" i'll avoid wasting your time [hint hint] by telling you bogus information on why you DON'T need to drink water. I generally drink a gal + / day, but have recently lowered my water intake to 64oz (not including water i consume in food, in…
-
I want my skin to "suck" in enough for my abs & lower body to appear a lil more leaner. but not "figure" comp. i got a sample meal plan from a competetor friend which has me first depleting water from 1.5gal (5 days out) down to 1/8 gal the day before, having VERY minimal carbs on days 4&5 and then progressively going from…

Todays results: from 122 > ???? (didn't actually weigh in today b/c i know my sodium has been thru the roof...) holding firm @ 13.36 - this contiues to surprise me, i'm going to try a friends calipers later today tho, hers are new'er & i'll know if mine are getting "worn in" - which i fear is the case b/c they were…

No you can not spot reduce fat. Yes you can build up the lower abdominal muscles WHILE you reduce fat. i am a female,mind you, but of course the pooch (the lower stomach) - although problem area does not got that low - has been the bain of my existance. i am currently at 13% bf and it's still not as chiseled as id like. I…

.5 / 2 wks in bf - that's about what i loose too. good going!!
-
You are only eating 200 calories all day & then (essentially) binging on 1300+ calories from 6-8, is that right? Yikes. I'd die! LOL. . . i've had days where i had no time or motivation for anything but shakes, but i still have to consume like 3 of them (@ 170 cals a pop) to stay vertical :D . . .
-
Okay, i'm probably gunna regret posting in such a (mind you completely pointless & heated) debate - but really? Is the worlds mindset so screwed up that marking pizza or any food as bad = being good nutritionally speaking? Food is not BAD - yes there are people that shouldn't eat certain foods, yes there are certain foods…
-
i have a protien shake for bfast most days - saves time. and is just enough in my belly before a workout. i have some snickers marathon bars on hand in case in need a snack or addition to my meal. i don't see anything wrong with these methods, so long as they are used as they should be, as supplements - not as the only…

Should you work out??> will it kill you?> NO> it will make you stronger!> YES> you'll die happy!
-
todays weigh:122 (still) todays cbf: 13.71 :D *(might be a fluke due to no leg workout yesterday / my thighs were the only thing down on the calipers... i'm thinking less leg swell...)
-
dill pickle chips *and by one, i mean one bag LOL (thus i never buy the large bag ;D)
-
yogurt. (or YO-GRIT) as my kiddo says :D
-
I have a protein shake 15 ish minutes before i workout. On my cardio day(s) if i drink that too soon to working out i will feel sick (probably b/c of the liquid itself, not the substance - b/c i can't drink a lot of water either - during) on my lifting days it doesn't make a difference. i say whatever method lets you out…
-
I measure my muscle growth per my lifting gains. While I have been cutting (since Jan) I have been able to increase weigh on almost ALL of my lifts (with the exception of a few that I don't do often) - but not by leaps and bounds by any means. As long as I am able to do so, I consider myself "on par" & I think it has a LOT…
-
Weighed in today and i'm a lb up but right on par w/ bf% (still @ 14.07) i'm going to weigh in again on wed & then it will be back to full week weigh ins. I'm also definately not stressed about a "lb" gain - since i up'd my cals this wk. I'll be upping them every couple wks to see where the scales tip - aka, where i start…
