Just a personal tip: if you find yourself hungry, I'd suggest increasing your protein. It looks like you are using the detault macro settings that MFP gives you, but I found I was starving all the time when I ate like that. I changed my carb/protein/fat breakdown to 40/30/30 and immediately felt a billion times better, and…

I wear a HRM for all cardio and just did zumba for the first time. Hilarious workout... haha These are my average calorie burns for a 1 hour group class: Spinning: 550 Step: 600 Kickboxing: 650 Zumba: 450 I am 5'9" and weigh 195 lbs. Edit to add that I wear a Polar FT4

I don't count water, as I drink upwards of 3-4 liters a day.... but all I drink is water. Why does this even keep coming up? Go drink water, all of you.

you are averaging a 1.5 lb loss every week and are disappointed? Stop watching the Biggest Loser tv show.

So basically you didn't lose weight for one day and you're freaking out? Just relax. Be patient. Weigh yourself less. I won't tell you what to eat, it is your body. But you really have to realize that you are not going to keeping losing that fast. Be happy with 1-2 lbs a week (that is LESS than 1kg) PER WEEK. Did I mention…

It makes me crazy if the volume on my tv or radio is on an "off" number... 11, 13, 17, 19, etc. Even numbers are fine, and multiples of 5 are fine. Yes, I will grab the remote and change the volume when you're not looking.

For a supplement I have found both soy and whey that disagreed with my body. Most proteins made me feel icky, but fortunately or unfortunately my body is quite fond of a very expensive whey protein by Maximized Living. It is the only powder that didn't make me nauseous / gassy / icky. I think you just need to find what…

Just want to point out that there are WAY more women in this forum that I would like to look like than the ones posting in the "please let's be hungry and eat 1200 calories together" posts. Thanks for the inspiration girls, just confirming that we are all doing something right. Eat on! xo

i went back three days in your diet and couldn't take it any more. Maybe you should eat. Like... real food. Try having dinner? Eat some fruit and vegetables, more than one serving a day? I don't even know where to start.

That is my exact calorie goal. Feel free to add me. :) I'm not always well behaved, but I lose regularly.

Wait a second, you haven't been doing your jazzercise, have you?!

I travel alone all the time! And I love it. I definitely am a planner though and need to feel like I know where I am going in order to feel comfortable. When I am traveling with someone else I generally relax and let whatever happen, but alone I always feel like I need to be on a mission. Enjoy yourself. Do somethng you…

I never have, even in high school I was a size 10/12. My ex boyfriend just told me this past weekend that i''ll "never be skinny". Aiming for a size 8, just to see what it feels like. Like a weird science experiment for my body.

I lose more when I drink more water. I aim for about 4 litres a day (that's about 135 oz or a little more than 1 gallon)

I think the fact that you only ate 18g of fibre (and 0g of fibre at lunch) is probably your bigger problem. I'd suggest to make a sign that you are a stinky boy and wear it around your neck for the rest of the week.

Your bum is going to hurt. Power through!!

I have colitis and flare ups will oscilate from loose stools to constipation. Since changing my diet and removing so many trigger foods, I am with you in the constipation column now. It is totally not a fibre/water issue... am interested to hear more about the magnesium recommendation though. I drink a tea and will…

Age: 33 Height: 5'9" SW: 218 lbs - size 16 CW: 196 lbs - size 12 GW: 170 lbs? Who knows... I want to be a size 8. Calories in: My goal is 1750, but I am quite happy anywhere from 1600 - 2000 depending on the day and my activity level. Calories Out: Also depends, but I average burning about 3,000 calories a week in 5-6…

Yes I'd say you're definitely building muscle if you're doing hills, climbing intervals, hard peddling, etc. I've noticed a major change in my legs, hamstrings and calves since cycling... but it has taken a while. Keep it up :)

Whaaaat!? This is blowing my mind? Did it work for people?

Bumping to try this... sounds interesting

I feel the same way about all the new years post where people say they are going to lose 50 lbs this month. They only lose 1 in he first week and think they are a total failure....and then they watch the Biggest Loser show where you have to lose 20+ pounds in a week and completely give up.

bumping to save these. thanks.

General rule is about 1g per kg of body weight. I found it easy to just set my macro goals to 40% carbs / 30% fat / 30% protein.

I have a digital starfrit one from Target for like $9. Awesome stuff. Love it!

Canadian Oil with Low Acid, actually. CANOLA. I guess all those canola plants I see growing everywhere all summer really don't exist? Canola was genetically-modified rape seed, which was "invented" at the University of Manitoba.

1. How much do you weigh? 2. I am always doubtful of a 700 calorie burn in 60 mins of zumba, but if you are very large it is possible. 3. You aren't eating enough anyway. 1000 calories isn't enough to survive. Your diet is great, just focus on adding a few small, calorie dense items like peanut butter or other nuts. 4. I'd…

2 weeks ago while at a conference in Hawaii.

More water, and a vitamin D supplement helped mine. :)

What about a different kind of protein shake? There are many other than whey option. Soy protein (they make me gassy, but some people like them?) Hemp protein (I use hemp protein in my salads) What about beans? Tofu? Lentils?
