I actually sleep better because I'm worn out after the workout.

I don't follow that program but I do lift heavy. I'm not afraid of bulking up at all and love how powerful it makes you feel!!

Is it Tuesday yet?:wink:

Hey everyone just checking in!! Yesterday not quite sure how many calories I ate as I stopped counting after lunch. If I had to guess I'd say around 2000-2300. Best thing I ate yesterday was probably some ranch chicken drummettes. Today will probably be my bowl of grapes and kiwi I'll have. I love fruit! Happy eating…

Maybe she was swimming in sweats!:laugh:

I was wondering when you show up on this one!:happy:

At home is usually tank top and shorts or sports bra shorts but I do wear my shoes.

I do cardio intervals on the days I don't lift. On my lift days I save my energy for the weights. When I do I will usually do a 3-5 min warm-up 15-20 mins of high intensity intervals and then another 20 mins of steady state cardio.

^^^This^^^ Usually an unhealthy diet contains lots of sodium and soda which makes you retain lots of water. When you start eating healthier and drinking more water you flush that excess fluid out of your system which is why your first week you could see big weight loss. It will taper off and then you start to lose actual…

I have mine set at the same. MFP gives me 109 grams of protein but usually end up between 120-140. Most days I get about 40-50 at breakfast.

I'm aiming for 2000 even but I've only gotten 1294 so far. I've got some eating to do!!

Just checking in on the new thread. Made it to 2084 yesterday. I haven't been doing this long but I will say I am surprised that I have not gained any weight eating this much. I feel so much better and I can do more during my workouts. I started out eating 700-900 calories a day and working out like crazy burning 800-1000…

No wonder I can't swim I've been doing it all wrong!! :ohwell:

Awesome! I only got to 1805 :(

Favorite ab move- Hanging leg raises Favorite arm move- Bicep curl Favorite leg move- quats Favorite workout video- Turbo Fire

I agree MFP's number are low when it comes to protein. I try not let myself drop below 100 grams per day and usually I'm around 150. Yesterday was a good day and I got up to 197!!

A vibro plate thingy that people are sitting on and looking serious? Doesn't sound very comfortable!!

First off if you dumped all that crap on me the first time we meet then I would take off running in the oppisite direction and warn all my friends to stay away!! With that being said you have to take the time to get yourself together and get out of mommy's house and get a job and then a female can see the progress you have…

I guess my 197 grams of protein yesterday was a waste too!! CRAP!!

WTH!! All I have to do is swim in sweats and clean my house to gain muscle!! Heck I've been doing it all wrong!

I workout 5-6 days per week with combination of cardio and weight lifting.

Kashi Go Lean Cereal 13gr per 1 cup (Great dry) Chaboni Greek Yogurt 13 gr (The above two mixed together is great too.) Protein shakes Babybel Light cheese 2 are 100cals & 12gr protein

A little about me: 35 5'2 178lbs I would love to get around 125-130 I'm slowly upping my calories to reach the 2000 mark.Yesterday I got up to 1862 calories so I'm getting there. I lift heavy and cycling about 75-100 miles per week. I workout 5-6 days per week and love to eat!! Breakfast today was 640 calories and 50grams…

*BUMP* Love this thread. I am slowly upping my calories as I focus more on heavy lifting!!

Great show! I watched it last week and a boy lost 117 pounds in 112 days. That's a bit quick but it does show what hard work and determination can do!!

I ususally use Smartwool wool socsk when cycling and running in the cold.

Try running at the warmest part of the day if you can which is usually between 2-4 o'clock. You will be suprised once you get going how your body temp will raise and you may even want to shed a layer if you put on too much. I wouldn't recommend it once temps get below freezing then you may need to join a gym for a short…

If I'm not mistaken you said you weighed yoourself TONIGHT! Never do that because you will always weigh more at night than you did that morning. Drink some water tonight, pee it out through the night then weigh in the morning! The 4lbs should be down by then.
