Well thank you all for your opinions ! I personally love to eat raw veggies and of course yummy fruits and nuts so it doesn't bother me as far as eating goes. In terms of the "healthier" mention, what I should have clarified was referring to it is healthier in terms of most people don't eat as much or even half veggies and…

I'll check it now. Thanks.

Ok - that makes sense because I get tired when I don't eat back those calories pretty often. It seems I'm not fueling my body enough. So I will give that a try and see the difference that makes me feel. Thank you for that advice, I think that will be very helpful ! :smile:

I just saw you replied :) Thanks !

SO .... can anyone tell my why it's so much harder to lose weight / burn fat the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time around if you obviously didn't succeed the 1st time around ??

Ah ok, that makes sense! Because I do feel tired now vs. when I did a lot more cardio back then. My lungs were stronger and I felt better! I will give the cardio more attention than just weights. Thank you for that and you will get there :smile: You're doing a great job as is !

This seems to be true, I think I need to be more disciplined with my logging of food and exercise because I can't honestly say I stick to it 100%. Thank you and best of luck in your journey as well ! :)

It's a rough road but with this realization we can get stronger mentally and the physical will follow :)

Yes, that is precisely what I do "you may have just lost 10 pounds but it is actually not a loss because it is weight that you have lost and gained before." To me it feels like none of it is weight loss and it really takes a mental strain on me. Right now I'm eating 1350 Calories and I don't eat back the calories I burn. I…

Wow, thank you so much. That really was a great perspective on how changing my mind set toward different goals can help. I just realized that I have been putting too much pressure on myself with obsessing over the weight loss. Thank you for sharing your story, I really appreciate it ! And great job to you and your…

Yes it includes all 3 squats, deadlifts (I just started about a week ago) and barbell bench press. I am increasing my weight in each as I get stronger. Right now all 3 I am lifting and squatting is about 80 pounds each. I got it from BodyBuilding.com

Well my goals are simple to lose an excess amount of body fat. I want to lose fat, not just weight for the number on the scale and add muscle. Right now, I am following my calorie deficient goal and clean eating. I am exercising 5 times a week and this is my current break down. Day 1 - Chest / Tricep Day 2 - Bicep /…

Ok, so that's fine. Anything else I haven't been told ?

Thank you ! lol You got exactly what my point was ... I never said the program was right but that's the same concept I gathered watching the video lol

Thank you, I appreciate it !

I'll check it out, thanks!

No ... I just don't have time for people like you that want to egg me on for a response you can be proud of.

You are right, there are a lot of knowledgeable lifters I can learn from and I'd gladly accept advice from those individuals.

Well thank you Zak, I appreciate it... I never said it was the right way to work out I just am looking to find what will work for me ... Some people have been really helpful and others not so much so I appreciate that you saw the bigger picture I was getting at. Thanks!

I am not hurt from his comment because he is right I asked for opinions nor did I specify they couldn't be negative. But MFP is supposed to be a community where we encourage each other and help everyone succeed. I did open a can of worms but I wanted actual help not sarcasm and belittling comments. I never said the video…

Right and I see your point and thank you for your input :)

I believe I learned my lesson asking for opinions the first time around. And with opinions like that why would I possibly want help from those people now ? Only a handful of people were actually in it to give helpful opinions and suggestions the other half just mocked my post ... So yeah, I don't want help from "those"…

I see your point but that's why a person would lift heavy on the upper body day not just 10 pounders lol

I'm not "butt hurt" but it's like really... Anyways thank you but at this point in the discussion I'm over it. I'll figure it out on my own.

True true ... You have a point and I agree. Thanks.

Yes I did ask for Opinions. I just assumed people were reading this to be helpful not input hurtful opinions on whether they thought it was stupid. That's all.

I really don't understand why some people are being rude with their comments or opinions. I am on my own fitness journey just like everyone else and I'm trying to find a system that works for me. And absolutely not everything I read, hear or see on the internet is true but how else do you suggest I educate myself without…

4QThank you all for your helpful comments and opinions ... I can see the logic as to why you should balance your training with upper and lower body. That is how I train currently ... however, I think the purpose of the video is being slightly misunderstood so I have attached the video to refer to in case I'm not explaining…

LOL :)
