  • OP are you going to be doing Mat or Reformer? I have found Mat work to be the better of the two because you are using your own body weight, not springs.
  • When I was doing really good with diet AND pilates, it tightened everything up, so while I still weighed 135 lbs, I was in a US size 4. My posture improved so much after each session I had to adjust the rearview mirror in the car. The best classes have no more than 10 people in them so the instructor can make sure everyone…
  • I bought it so I can set my macro by grams instead of percentage. Other than that feature it's really no different for me
  • I plan the snacks into my daily calories. If I DON'T eat them, I'm too low for the day.
  • OP never said they were eating 800 calories They said they were eating less than 1200 and tried to set goals at 800 but wasn't allowed too. For all anyone know OP is eating 1199 a day.
  • Sorry, I just saw this. I had them done 2 weeks ago on Wednesday. Although it took them 2 months to call me back and tell me the x-rays showed I had a broken finger, so I'm not expecting to hear anything anytime soon.
  • Following because I have a feeling the doctor is going to put me on something once my blood/hormone tests come back. Since weight and self perception is a big part of my "mood", I refuse to take something that will cause me to gain weight.
  • If you are outside of the US be careful with the food labels. I don;t know where you are, but odds are good that the fiber is already being taken out of the carb count. so in the US a label that says 12g carbs /11 g fiber means there is 1 g carbs. In most foreign countries I've been to that same label means there are 12g…
  • I'm all the way in FNQ. I looked and I don't think they have online sales/shipping. Everything kept sending me back to the UK site. Which is fine, they offer free international shipping for orders over 50.
  • Yep, so when the store carries up to a size 14, that is a US size 10. :'( :s I'm an American that moved to Australia (still think in American) 5'6" (168 cm?) 72 kg? I wear a 12/14 on top and a 14/16 on the bottom. I was recently on holiday and found a GAP in London. I bought two pair of jeans that fit my American shaped…
  • I found this with the lasagna entries (don't ask) Instead of grams, ounces, or even pounds, every entry had it measured in CUPS. Who measures lasanga by the cup?
  • Exercise is for health and calories are for weightloss. If you aren't feeling it right now, don't do it. As a former athlete, I always found I had more injuries when I didn't want to exercise/practice, but I forced myself to anyway. I always lose more weight without exercising because my muscles LOVE to hold on the…
  • Studies are showing that keeping your bedroom below 18 C help promote health and weight loss.
  • FIrst of all, I'm thrilled to hear it's "hot at 66 F" since I'll be there next week and I hate the heat. Second, I live in a tropical rain forest. I gain 10+ lbs every single wet season and then spend the next three months trying to get rid of it. It is routinely over 34 C here for MONTHS on end. even now in our "winter"…
  • Then if I may, please be careful when you start counting calories for the CICO too. You still have to count everything that goes in your mouth, regardless of the macros. Same actions, different numbers

  • May I ask what trials and tribulations not eating pasta and bread put you through?

  • nice way to deliver a backhanded put down to anyone who might actually feel better eating in a way other than you deem appropriate but go on with your superior self.
  • Most of my expereinces are with people who worry about fat consumption. MUCH easier to limit carbs in restaurants than fat.
  • It's a lot easier to eat out when you are low-carb/Keto. Mexican - Fajitas, skip the tortillas, or a taco bowl, don't eat the bowl Italian - veal or chicken piccata, ask for veggies instead of pasta, or steak house - no explaination necessary pizza - eat the toppings, skip the dough, have a salad Chinese is harder, but…
  • I'm assuming you wanted real suggestions. There are many recipes out there for crustless quiches (full size and individual sized), scotch eggs, zuccini nest eggs etc. I personally like 100g greek yogurt, 75g (ish) cantelope and 30g chopped pecans There is also the good old bacon./sausage and eggs.
  • I wish I could find the graphic again, but it showed that the USDA food pyramid for humans was almost exactly the same as the one sent to farmers to fatten stock
  • best part, I can go out to eat and socialize without being a pain in the #*$&#*Y at a restaurant
  • Add some crispy bacon strips to that. Good stuff
  • Cut the breadcrumbs from your meatloaf and use grated parmesean instead. If you need breadcrumbs to "coat something, use ground pork rinds instead. Use Greek Yogurt instead of anything Dannon, Yoplait etc. You'll start to find that Dairy has more carbs than you think (milk, soft cheeses) Fruit on low carb usually stays…
  • https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/2873?manu=&fgcd= So technically frozen broccoli has 1.35 g of carbs per 100g. If you are in teh US, subtract the fiber from the carbs to get net. If you are outside the US, the lael alsready has this done.
  • about 100g a day, give or take. It's not that hard to get that much fat. Doing LcHf, it's kind of hard to NOT get it up there. For me it's super hard to eat chicken (don't liek dark meat) low cal, low fat AND it throws my protein to almost double for the day. I watch carbs first, then protein and then I worry about fat.
  • I wonder what happens if you get liposuction and get rid of the excess fat cells? ETA: from WebMD (at a place to start) Lipo works! http://www.webmd.com/women/guide/lipedema-symptoms-treatment-causes
  • I broke my ankle and was on crutches for 6 months. At the end I was in the best shape of my life My abs were rock hard from doing reverse crunches whenever I wanted to move My arms and lats were nicely developed from basically moving my own body weight. My right leg and bum were tight as can be from being contracted to…
  • We use this one. Not gassy at all from it. http://www.sportyshealth.com.au/Balance-WPI-Protein.html?gclid=CJqCi86RycwCFRUDvAodmbUFSg
