You will lose LBM.

I log the good, the bad and the fattening. Feel free to add me. Open diary.

I would very strongly recommend CHILLING OUT. This process is going to take months. Relax and let it happen.

I leg press: hi-rep (12 x 3) @ 450 low-rep (4x3) @ 630 And then it hurts. I started at 220 lbs and am now 195lbs and 5'9" though.

I love carbs. They are delicious and make me feel good.

I'd recommend you serious think about what your goals are. Do you REALLY want to be 115 lbs or do you just want to be a little smaller? I'd assume it is the latter, so stop allowing the scale to ruin you. Set a measurement or size goal and you'll feel much better. :)

Looks like breakfast is a tough one for you. Here's some suggestions for a more protein-y breakfast: Try Greek yogurt, cottage cheese + protein powder mixed together. I eat half cup of each (no salt cottage cheese and vanilla greek yogurt), with half scoop of protein. Bam - 22g of protein and only 12 g of carbs) If I…

Hmm.... I think this is going to make me sad, but I participate in a sport: $40/month for a gym membership. $40/month for protein supplement (ish - it is the only one I have found that doesn't make me feel sick, and is $60/tub) But then also for paddling and adventure races, I estimate: $400/yr for sport specific coaching…

I have lost most of my weight, and been WAY happier with eating my TDEE of about 1800 per day. I use MFP user heybales's spreadsheet. Look him up and send a message, he will send you the link (I think it is on his profile too) but he is great for helping you set it up. Was awesome and super insightful. Have loved most…

No and No. I think you can pull of dark stockings with those shoes, but black, not navy.

100% true. Even though 28g of hummus makes me so very sad.

Did your binge include alcohol?

I"m quite muscular and 5'9", and wouldn't go below 160 because I like being strong. Depends what your goals are.

I was going to say more like 400. Sushi isn't low-cal at all.

My cravings alternate between crying and wanting to punch people in the face.

Lots of vitamins sure. Lots of sugar, sure. 500 - ish calories (depending on what you order). I find real food more satisfying, but they sure are tasty.

I have big shoulders, but kind of on purpose (I train for a sport that uses shoulders and back). Losing weight is making me smaller all over.

I need to work out for 2 hours to get 1000+ calories burnt, and frankly... it neither feels good to do that on a regular basis, nor do I get the results I want from it. I once burned 701 calories in a 60 min kickboxing class, but I had a friend with me for motivation. I also wanted to die for about 20 minutes afterwards. I…

Let me preface this by saying that I am not a runner. But I am trying. I do not run every day. I give my body at least two days off of running between sessions. I still work out, I just do something else. With at least one of those days being complete lower body rest. My workout schedule is something like: Sun: 1 hr Run…

Your bum is going to hurt... for the first few times. I swear it gets better!! STICK WITH IT!

You're right, everyone can eat what they want. Just don't expect me to listen after they say "egos are nutritious".

I'll be in Paris in 2 weeks. Have an amazing time!

If you would like some serious suggestions, you should open your food diary. Lots of smart people around here can comment and offer some help. First off, you should eat more protein.

I like a quick wit and a smart mouth. I'd also prefer if you don't get arrested.

Lifting weights, heavy weights. I don't know why.

I love that you are doing an activity that you love and enjoy. That is the secret to long term success.... congratulations!!

First of all, I think we all are different and have to find what works for us. That being said, if I don't eat three times before noon... I am starving ALL day and ALL night. I don't like to eat in the evening as I have found that it affects my sleep and I just don't feel as well. Now I wake up in the morning hungry, eat a…

This is amazing, thank you!

Ugh, just one pound would be amazing. I usually gain about 10.

I wear a HRM too and burn more like 400-450. I am 5'9" and 195 lbs.
