New Rules of Lifting for Women!!! By Lou Schuler (or something haha)

Girl: Adeline, Elodie, Emery, Peyton, Haylee Boy: Emery, Jackson, Noah, Romeo (after my grandpa)

When I had this problem, I began eating only chicken and fish, fruits and vegetables, brown rice, nuts and rye bread. I cut out processed foods, dairy (except for one serving of greek yogurt per day), red meat, starch... bah blah blah. Within a week the bloating was gone. I could eat until I was so full I felt about to…

Can I still join this? I need the accountability right now!! I am doing terrible!!! Ok so for July... Me: 1 (today... however it is only 4pm but let's try and keep it that way) Binge Monster: 1 For the record, A binge monster for me right now means eating any sort of junk when I haven't specifically incorporated it into my…

Thanks to both of you! Setting myself as light for exercise would give me enough calories I just don't want to be eating too little... as I have read and read and read and read the many posts in the group Eat More to Lose More!!! I just want to do everything I can to make sure I am losing weight the healthiest way possible…

Bump? hate when posts get lost in the crowd!

Awesome, thanks for the info :) I started out using 5lb weights. Good info to know, thanks so much :) Appreciated!

dawlschic, can i ask your height/weight? I am 5'6 and 133 lbs and I have been estimating that I burn about 115 cals in one session for Level 1. Completely an estimate, assuming that MFP overestimates calories burned. Just wondering your stats compared to mine to see if I am way off :) Also, to OP, when doing the 30 DS I…

UGH I am in! Only 6 lbs left who knew it would be this hard ?!?! And its ALL in my STOMACH! Grrrrrr .....

I'm in! I've done it before but I just did Level 1 a bunch, got lots of ideas for workout moves and then did my own thing. I could see a difference after 3 days though which was awesome! Gotta get back on it to shape up for a wedding this summer!! I'll add you! - Taryn

Last summer I was right around my goal weight, was doing cardio 4x a week and strength training 3x a week yet my stomach was still flabby. I spent 2 weeks eating "clean" (to me)... this meant I was eating fish, veggies, fruit, chicken, nuts... I cut out a LOT of stuff (sugar, processed foods, bread, potatoes, pasta) and…

I usually have either a protein shake (with Allmax Isoflex Protein powder, low cal low carb, fruit and yogurt) or a glass of chocolate milk! Usually the protein shake because I have trouble getting enough protein in daily, and I can incorporate lots of calories into the protein shake for days when I am struggling to meet…

Throw into your diet some nut butters, almonds, peanuts, cottage cheese, lean meats, beans... make up a delicious chili with extra lean ground beef, tons of veggies and 2 cans of beans for dinner! yumm! For breakfast try some oatmeal with a tbsp of almond butter mixed in (or toast with the same!), a handful of almonds and…

I am 5'6 and when I was about 157, I was a size 9. I am now 133 and a size 3-5 depending on the store! (these are Canadian sizes... does that make a difference? Sizes always confuse me!)

Ontario right here, tooo!!

Same here!! I wind up under my calorie goal of 1400 (sometimes at 1100!!!) because I dont want to go over my carbs or sugars. However, my carbs and sugars are mainly (90% of the time) from fruit, veggies, rye bread (small amounts), beans, nuts, brown rice etc. SO frustrating when my mind is telling me its okay but my…

If fattofitradio.com says my BMR is 1430 ... ( i think MFP puts it more in the 1300's)... should I be eating roughly 1400? I don't have a lot of weight to lose. I am 5'6, 133 lbs and hoping to get down to 125 (but want to start strength training properly, so might weigh more than that which is ok as long as I look good!)…

I am 5'6 and currently eating about 1400 net... although I honestly struggle to get there because I am trying to watch sugar and carbs and keep those low. However, after reading this thread I think I will try and bump up my net calories to 1500 or 1600 and actually eat that amount.Gotta find some new delicious foods to…

BUUMMP

Thanks for all the info!!! Very helpful :)

Amazing results!!! My boyfriend has the guys version of this book and he swears by it! I want to buy this one... can i ask what else you are doing? Cardio? And what was the time frame in between the two pictures? you look fantastic!! Also, from what I have heard there is some sort of nutrition plan that is included in the…

bump for later... its going to take some effort for me to figure this one out, but looking forward to it!

I am 5'6 exactly and am currently about 130-133 depending on the day! I want to get back down to 124, which is how much I weighed in my profile pic. I was happy with the way I looked then!

Thanks for all the input!!! Definitely think I will give it a try.

I am about 40lbs lighter than my boyfriend... I fluctuate around 125-130 and he is around 165-170. I am still losing weight and he is working on gaining weight (muscle!)! However, I used to weigh about 157 and he weighed 160 (although I never told him I weighed that much!). I love the size difference now and the fact that…

Ohhh I always forget about sweet potatoes and I really want to make sweet potato fries!!! Thanks!!! Do these go bad quickly??

HAHAHAHAHA..... OK I am not laughing at you. I have eaten the family fun size pack of M&Ms (peanut or peanut butter) in one sitting during a movie. M&M's in one hand, glass of wine in the other. My two vices. I won't even lie, I still do it sometimes.

Thank you so much :)

BUMP- yum. But what is cake flour? regular flour?
