Is your office even open on Friday? (July 4th) If so, just get past the lower calories and make something you know you are good at making and everyone will enjoy. You don't want to experiment and it not be good and everyone doesn't like it.

You can keep the flabby butts. I also hear just fine.

^This. Gaining weight would mean you are in a caloric surplus. Maintenance would be your weight staying within the same 2-5 pound range depending on the water weight you gain and lose from foods you are eating. If you are gaining, you are in a surplus.

This has got to be the dumbest idea I have ever heard of. I like take one bite of whatever I want to eat and throw the rest in the trash. I do it once a day. I drink water and a multivitamin the rest of the day. I just got rid of my food scale once I started doing this.
-
Yes I have. It's a food scale and a caloric deficit. Best weight loss aids out there.

It depends on what your goals are. Starting out if you are just looking to get in the swing of things and are not serious about weight training. I would say sure if $10 works with your budget then join up. It is better than not being active. If you are wanting to make a complete change and start a good weight training…

It wasn't a concern of mine when I was dating. I got extremely lucky that my wife is into fitness and nutrition as much as I am. It makes things easy. She knows when she grabs me something to weight it and tell me what it is in grams or ounces. If we ever split or something happened to her. Fitness will be one of the…

Lol.... Same thing happens in my gym. We have some really good trainers and some horrible trainers.
-
Each person's maintenance calories are different. There are to many factors that go into that to compare yourself to what others do. But, gaining 2.4 pounds is hardly anything to be concerned about. You body could just be adjusting to the added calories. Again, other factors could be causing that. If after a three weeks or…

Is this causing you to lose your caloric deficit? That would be the only concern with eating at night. You won't gain weight just because you eat at night when you are hungry or at home. If that is your concern. You can eat as early or late as you want. The ONLY thing needed when it comes to losing weight is a caloric…

^This. If you look at what myself and others typed you will see that we ARE in fact trying to help. You may not like what we have to say or it didn't fit what you wanted to hear. This exercising that you are doing is far from going to be enough to where you will have issues if you did it daily. I wouldn't recommend you do…
-
Always glad to help. I see a lot of people bashing but not often offering any good solid advice on these post.
-
I have to go with looks. Now once you have me talking to you, you had better have some personality. But without some looks. I wouldn't be interested in this complete stranger.
-
Like others have said. This would not be a good idea. Unless, you just want to still look the way you do now except a smaller version. You want your body to change as you lose the fat. You also want to preserve the muscle your body has developed while you lose fat. Continue to lift heavy while eating at a caloric deficit.…

There is no such thing as "toning" when it comes to training. You can strength train, or lift weights, or whatever you want to call it. There is no "toning" lifts. Continue to lift heavy relative what you can lift and your program. Strive for progressive overload on each session of each set. During a caloric deficit at…

I get what you are saying. 10 pounds would be crazy. I have gained 3-4 pounds after a day of epic eating. Now I'm smart enough to know that is mostly water weight and when I get on the scale again after 3 or 4 days of hitting my calorie goals and training it is all gone.
-
^This. You can't really be on the fence with this or you will most likely be spinning your wheels for way longer that you want. Pick a goal and stick with it. You will get the results you want with less stress. Use one of the online calculators to start. This will give you an estimate of your TDEE. Remember these are an…

I'm not sure what this person is talking about. IF is for weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance. It is just the window that you will eat in or not eat in for the day or week (depending on your IF protocol). Your calories overall will determine what you use IF for.
-
Yes it works. It works for cutting, bulking, or maintenance. It is not a magic diet or solution. It is simply a eating protocol. You can use whatever diet you choose with IF. Low carb, low fat, paleo, or whatever. The ONLY thing that matters is that are you eating the calories to reach your goals. If you want to lose…
-
Like many others have said. The ONLY thing that matters when it comes to losing weight is creating a caloric deficit. If you are not accurately tracking your food intake (using a food scale), it's hard to know how much you are eating. Here is an article that will explain. His whole site will teach you a lot.…
-
IF isn't a diet first off. It is a eating protocol. Any diet a person chooses can work with IF. I don't care how long you fast, if after you start eating you go into a surplus, you will gain weight. Same thing for if you eat at maintenance, you will stay the same. The ONLY thing that matters when it comes to losing weight…
-
Can't say I would equate one with the other. Maybe, you just have a high tolerance. Drink Crown and diet coke. Works for me.
-
Man you can get a girlfriend even if over weight. A great looking one too. You need to have so confidence(swag) about yourself. They are just women. If she doesn't like you because of your weight then you just aren't her type. No big deal. I've done it in shape, fat, and in shape again. I will say it's easier in shape.
-
Aren't you judging him for his "in your words" judging post?!
-
What?
-
I'm not sure what this person is talking about. This is over complicating things. If you want to lose weight. Track accurately, be in a caloric deficit, and you will lose weight. We often sweat the small stuff like macros to soon. First figure out what you need to be in a deficit. This is the ONLY thing you need to lose…
-
Honestly, are you accurately tracking your food intake? I find it hard for anyone to be tracking using a food scale with grams and ounces eating around 1200 calories to be losing weight.
-
Cutting your carbs down just helped you created a caloric deficit. That's all. Good job though.
-
Non of this will "tone" your thighs. You should train your legs and strengthen them. So once you've lost enough fat around them they look better.
-
You said it yourself. You can't spot reduce fat lose. You will just have to eat at a caloric deficit and continue to lose weight. At some point your thighs will get smaller. There is no toning exercises. Exercise works muscle, deficit drops the fat on top of the muscle so you can see it (toned). They are two different…
