  • No worries, you're doing this out of your free time, it's hard to take care of all in little time.
  • Attempted to plan and log my calories today, too soon it seems: kind of binged on chocolate. I'm afraid I won't be able to count anymore without stress eating as a result and how am I supposed to cut if I can't count/plan? Got 8 kgs to lose now... I've attempted starting IF few times in the last weeks with no success (woke…
  • bump No hurry, just to bring the thread back in the first page in case it gets forgotten. In the meantime it's my second day of not logging/planning calories, just quickly checking I get at least 100g of protein per day, though I still do grossly count calories in my head. I also added few small sessions of extra home…
  • 3x week, alternating A, B, A then B, A, B
  • If I do most/all of the bodyweight exercises roughly 1,5 hours. I only started 4 weeks ago with lifting heavy (on my 5th week now), with this program, and I started with an empty barbell (17kg). So all the numbers I reported on my first post is the progress from 17kg in a 4 weeks span.
  • I just think I need to drop some bf% and that needs at least a small deficit, isn't that right? I'm probably too stressed about results and how to achieve them that I don't give it time. Rationally I know I need to be patient but my mind often goes on its own and the stress leads me to do silly things. I thought I'd take a…
  • Hello guys and thanks for everything you do here. I'd like a rough estimate on bf% to help build a more concrete plan. Pics are as unflattering as they can get Moderator note: pic removed at posters request
  • As weird as it sounds if you manage to include enough and often exercise your stamina and energy levels will peak up. My job and working out have me on the go all day and I'm much more energetic than when I used to not do anything all day. As long as you feed your body you'll feel better. Also being a student exhausts your…
  • My profile is set at active as it's where the waitress job is set. My exercise calories amount to an average of 200+ per day (based on MFP but I don't know how accurate it is and I can't afford a HRM) which sums up to 1800 calories and yes, most of the time that leaves me hungry. The point is I don't know how to trust TDEE…
  • Oh my meals are full of fruits, vegetables and fiber. I have a protein shake every day that I lift. I always exceed my carbs by some due to fruit because I love it and I love having it in different times of the day and I refuse to restrain it more than already having to weigh it and portion it. I don't have much to lose…
  • I envy all of you people that struggle to not be under their calorie requirement. I am a waitress, I do double shifts 3 times a week and single shift the remaining 4 where I'm constantly running like crazy, I weight lift at the gym 5 times per week and attend yoga classes 2-4 hours. In addition I bike to and back from work…
  • This thread came right on time. I just got myself a gym membership because working out at home can't give me enough equipment for heavy lifting and there's only so many dumbbells I can buy. But my first day was extremely disappointing. Even though I explained to the trainer that I wanted to lift heavy with free weights and…
  • Don't you need heavy weights to "lift heavy"? That's why a gym is needed since I don't have that kind of equipment. So anyone can tell me if my calories should be that high? Today I started to bring them to 1800.
  • I don't have a precise number as a goal, I just want my body and mostly thighs to be more defined and toned and I'm quite sure there is still some fat layer that needs to go away for that to happen. About lifting heavy, it would require me to go to the gym, and for now with my work and all I find it easier to work out at…
  • Damn my post is confusing and overloaded. My question is should I really eat 2335 calories per day with the kind of activity that I do in order to lose some more body fat and get definition? It looks like a really big number to me and I'm not sure of what I burn because I don't have any HRM.
