5' 7" 39" 30" 40" 167 pounds 2 weeks ago before I started lifting and eating more. Not weighing until Dec. so don't know exactly what weight, but I'm sure it went up.

You do realize that in Auschwitz, the prisoners were starving and emaciated on calorie counts between 1250-1400 calories? http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/othercamps/auschwitzbasics.html

I don't do the 1200 cal regime, so after getting my important nutrients for the day, I ate several pieces of my favorites - logging each one. No guilt. No more deprivation - just healthy choices and moderation from here on out... oh... and busting some muscles lifting.

I'm eating at TDEE for 8 weeks (have 7 left) - then going to "cut" -20%.

Bumping for pro-ice-cream recipe!

My breakfast this morning: 1/2 cup old fashioned oats... cook them a little on the runny side. 1 scoop of protein powder (this morning I used chocolate) +add ins to your liking (okay - this morning I used a tablespoon of semi-sweet choco chips... don't judge). Yummy + lots of protein.

Hi! My mom does the Leslie videos - loves them. I did them when I was recovering from an illness and couldn't do high intensity stuff. I still sweat! Also, she has a walk club online for very inexpensive - you can watch her videos on the site. Very cool and keeps you from getting bored. Also, I have an old VHS Sweatin' to…

Up the cals to TDEE minus 15-20%. In the calculator (Scooby's is what I used), make sure you put moderately active. Unless you are slender and small, your BMR should be above 1400... I wouldn't eat below that!

Google image "vintage pin up" - I say a corset would be fun! Peeking over your shoulder would hide the tummy too. Fun idea!!

bump!

Oh I will be trying this one today! WHOOP!

I just started it last week. Already feeling stronger! I think it's a good beginner program. I am doing the metabolism reset here with it. Then, after 8 weeks will do TDEE -15%. There are some great spreadsheets if you join the NROLFW group that lay the workouts out in an easy to use/understand format. Several people here…

Booty up - I kind of have to. Good video :D http://youtu.be/UySShFYfC14

Ate pot roast for breakfast.

Hey there - there is a Thyroid group on here. If you don't get answers, consider joining them and asking :D

My husband hid my scale until I start cutting. My measuring tape is taking the place of my wishy washy tear and fit inducing scale.

My thyroid was slightly enlarged and hard. My doctor said something about it expanding to absorb more iodine. Not sure if I remember correctly, when he told me over the phone I was hypo... the rest of what he said went like Charlie Brown's teacher. I was just kind of in a daze. There is a TON TON TON of information on…

TWO part question :) Hi everyone - just started this yesterday - but am doing the "metabolism reset" from the EM2WL group. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get "fat" lol. Anyway, really not sure what the consensus is for Stage 1... cardio on off days or no cardio? Cardio on workout days or no cardio? If you do cardio - eat back…

What happens if I go over on protein?

The book says 40carb 30fat 30pro That's what I do. It isn't always easy to get all the protein in - sometimes you have to get creative! :)

This was extremely helpful! Do you have it for workout b? Got the kindle book and really was struggling to totally "get" it - now I do!

Oops - Pacific Fitness Zuma. Yeah. Too many calories frying my brain, ahahaha! Okay my macros are 40c-30p-30f as per recommendations here and NROLFW.

Oops - just realized I said I was dieting since 4. Not entirely accurate. Started really at 8, starvation @13 and various diets after that. I don't know why my mind said 4! Not that 8 is leaps and bounds better hahahaha!

I just go into my food log and erase the bmf adjustment.

Hi everyone. Well... joining in. Same as countless others. Years of "dieting" - since I was 16!!! That's 34 years of counting points/calories/eating cardboard meals/lettuce. Hypothyroid (diagnosed last week) Meh. Poo. The Scooby thing said 2328 for TDEE but my Bodymedia said maintenance is 2120? So I'm not sure which one…

My TDEE is 2335, BMR 1506, Cut Cals 1985. However, I do have Hypothyroidism (treated - but does not make me 'normal'). Wondering if I should still just go for the 2335? Suggestions?

Actually ended up doing day 3 today. Going to alternate Jill with 5k. Tomorrow is another 5k, time to beat: Short term goal: beat 36 min Longer term goal: beat 29 min Dream goal: beat 23 minutes At the end of 30DS, 5K combo - going to do LIFT HEAVY training 3 days a week. Going to also bump my cals up to 1600. Fun! I felt…

5'7" - 167 - I burned 183 tonight using my Bodymedia. It felt like 400. Whatevs.

I'm not on BC and today... well I should have been in a straight jacket, lol! Just went nutters lol. It only lasted a few hours. I did add DHEA into my system starting last week (apparently my testosterone levels were non-existent). Combine that with PMS and trying to balance a budget... perfect storm!

I put a tablespoon (or two) of light whipped cream, extract (coconut or lemon or cinnamon), packet of stevia and mix. Yum!
