There is a thread and a sticky called 'Roadmap' something...it breaks everything down for you, including how to figure out numbers. It's an awesome read and helped me figure out all that fun stuff...lol. I would post the link but I have no idea how...lol.

Same here...went from 217 to 140 and yeah still have that complex....I still grab the largest sizes in the stores when I go shopping...then I realize that I am actually a small-medium but when I hold up those smalls and mediums first thought is 'that will NOT fit'. It's been over a year...I thought that I would be over…

There is lots of types of protein powders...I was 217 and I was using powder and making shakes. If you hit a GNC or another type of vitamin/health store the people there can help you out. I use protein powder bc like you, I have a hard time reaching even my minimum calorie goal and I need the extra protein myself. There is…

Vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, banana, and dark chocolate almond milk...I find chocolate almond milk tastes way better than cow chocolate milk tho..lol. Seriously...awesome. Kinda like a chunky monkey drink (minus the chunky part of course). I also have the GNC lean shakes that I have for breakfast...try the Swiss…

Sounds like fun...always nice to find buddies :) (I'm looking for some...just sayin'...lol) Age: 31 Gender: Chicka Married? Nope Kids? Nope Goal weight: 130-135 Current weight: 140 Height: 5'5 Favorite exercise: lifting, dancing Least favorite exercise: cardio Pets? :( no but hopefully soon Calorie goal: 1500 then 1700…

Sara - Thank you for your suggestions and I have already started upping calories to about 1500 this past week and I'll continue to add until I can hit 1700. I already experienced a gain when I started hitting close to 1500 and that is starting to go away already so that's not an issue...lol. As for the mental block that's…

Sara, I have probably been eating under 1200 and working out hard for a long time....probably well over a year or 2 without realizing it and sometimes I would even forget to eat. I have the same fear as most people that I'll get fat again...and since it sucked being fat the first time around I don't really wanna go for…

I asked my trainer what she thought my BF% was...but if 12% means ripped then no I probably don't have 12% :/ lol. Working out for me is my escape and me time for the most part...so no real reason for going so hard other but the fear is that if I stop working out then I'll get fat....again. Gives me something to focus on…
