I'm on week 3 and so far it's going great. I haven't weighed or measured myself so I'm not sure how much progress I'm getting. On the fitness end, I can definitely feel the changes in that I'm not dying halfway through the workouts anymore.

When I did LG, I went the 10/14 route (suggested by the program). I tried doing 8/16 for the first two weeks and it was terrible. However I was able to sustain 10/14 for over 3 months (and counting).

First thing Sunday morning is my official weigh in.

Welcome! You can definitely get tons of support here to achieve your goals. Best of luck to you :)

It's great to have support. Welcome and feel free to add :)

Definitely guilty. But on days where I'm just too pooped I don't think much about it.

I'm in Fairfax. Feel free to add! It's good to see fellow Virginians represent! :smile:

For many years I was obsessed with the elliptical. That was my go-to cardio machine before I decided to take up running (the last 3 or so years). But recently I found the rower to be just as good if not better (and more addicting) to use. I agree with previous posters that the rowing machine would be your best bet if you…

Most of the time I do cardio at lunch time and then weights when I get home. If I'm having a hectic day at work then I'll do both weights (first) and cardio after work.

I used to use it in place of butter or oil when I was on a lower carb lifestyle. Even though I'm no longer on the lower carb bandwagon, I'm still using coconut oil in some meals like when I bake or when I make stir fry.

I used to feel like that way back when I first started to drink 8 glasses of water (or close to it). After a short while (maybe a week) my body got used to it ahd haven't felt bloated off water since. I did notice though that I got bloated for a good 6 hours shortly after consuming a home-made smoothie a few days ago. I…

Except that one time where we invited you to TDB LOL.

Haha no I don't want to lose my appetite. I like salads but I don't like them THAT much. I eat them mostly to help clean up my diet. Plus I'm making it a personal mission to eat more veggies in general, whether they be a side dish, or hidden in other meals. Making salads just allows me to consume more, at least in one…
-
Yep, done and done. I've used different, veggies, different proteins, and different dressings. I've even tried salad w/o dressing but had to add a small handful of craisins for taste. I think I'm just in low right now with salads. I think I have to start accepting that I can't stomach eating it all the time, which means…

Yeah I guess I failed to mention that I'm not a big fan of eating the same things meal after meal no matter how yummy it is. I guess I'm just picky that way but it's a miracle that I've last this long with salads. It's not that I can't, I just don't get an appetite for it after I've had it. I've done it in the past and I…

I haven't sacrificed anything, but rather now continue to eat what I want in moderation (and so long as it fits into my macros). Some days are harder than others because I love food. Buffets are tough to get through so I usually reserve that time as my cheat meal. Bread, pasta, rice, etc. are also my downfall but I've…

Yeah it's normal. I tend to retain up to 5lbs of water a week before TOM and then start shedding it during and after. Reason #542 why I hate to weigh myself one week before.

Currently, free-99 ;-) I have a gym at the office as well as a home gym. Before this I used to go to a local gym that was $15/mo. It had everything I needed sans all those group classes (i.e. Zumba, Body Pump, Yoga, etc.). That gym did have one class though, a crossfit-type class. They couldn't officially call it Crossfit…

I agree it's an awesome exercise. You guys are giving me so much motivation to get up to your weights! I just recently started incorporating deadlifts into my routine though so am starting off lighter to ease myself into it.
-
I had that problem a time or two before. Once I had hit 120lbs it got seriously more difficult to lose even a pound, let alone 10! I agree with mhuch110 that re-adjusting your specs on MFP will help to calibrate your daily calorie limit and your calorie expenditure. Also, mixing up your workouts or doing something totally…
