^^^^^ THIS. LOL! Ice cream being at the top o' the list!

Bumping for giggles.

In a waffle iron?

There is a "You probably eat more than you think" thread that I copy and paste CONSTANTLY on threads where people are stumped as to why they are gaining/not losing. Those calories add up fast, and unless weighing every little thing, things are estimates at best. If you follow EM2WL then you are in even GREATER risk of…

Thanks! I ate an idiotic amount this weekend, so I'm back to the losing of the same four pounds routine...but it was my fault. Oktoberfest, a baby shower, and then just saying to Hell with it killed me. So I'm back up again, and slowly climbing back down.

It's now 3 days after said carb explosion and I'm still up 4 pounds. Was only brave enough to hop on the scale this morning! I dread to think what Monday would have looked like!

I'm not REALLY low carb. Probably on average 75g a day. But yeah, my entire body looks swollen soft. No bueno!

wanna pass some of that my way? :laugh:

Hey Sara! Fat loss goals. I'm as muscular as I'd like to be right now. Any more and I'd start looking bulky (I'm that special snowflake who really can get bulky if not careful). So I'd just like to lose the remaining/extra fat off and be as slim/lean as I can while not losing the strength I have now.

I think it's a combo. People''s perception, but also how you carry it. I am particularly dense. I'm 5ft 6 and 150 pounds but wear a 4/6. If my Mum weighed what I weigh, she would be a 12/14. Same height, but very different body types. I took a deep water class the other day, and even with my floatation belt I sunk like a…

I have insomnia, but I also have an Ambien RX so if it ever looks like I'm not getting to sleep, that helps me. So I get a good number of hours each night. Easily 8 a night. My cycles are all screwed up from the exercise. They aren't regular at ALL. I can sometimes go a couple months without one. I JUST turned 34 and have…

My measurements are as drastic as the weight in my waist. The rest stay exactly the same except for my hips will go up and down about half an inch. My waist will change up to 3 inches difference depending on what I've been eating. My calories are all over the place because I will over eat/eat way more carbs than usual and…

one last try. Thanks!

This really really helped me. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/872212-you-re-probably-eating-more-than-you-think

I was eating it a ton and wondering why my weight stalled....didn't pay attention to the sugar that is in greek yogurt....even the plain ones have about 7g per serving. So just make sure it stays in your macros. :-)

Bumping because I'd like to see what responses you get. If those are indeed accurately measured amounts of food, then I think it looks great. Anyone else?

I <3 you. THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you are a young guy your TDEE is probably between 2000-3000. So if you went over that by 2-3000 that is less than one pound of actual fat you could potentially "gain". No worries, dude! Cut yourself a break and move on. :wink:

Sure! . I didn't weight in on Sunday/Monday as to not depress myself. We went to a food festival on Saturday, and had sodium filled Thai Sunday night. 9/20 150 9/21 152 9/22 no weigh in 9/23 no weigh in 9/24 155.6 9/25 153.6 9/26 153.4 9/27 153.2 This happens FREQUENTLY. I will get super serious with my diet and lose and…

Just what Noor said. I teach BP and have had great results with it. My muscles are very defined and it's the only weight training I do...although I'm trying to switch things up and add in some heavier lifting too. It works the muscles differently than heavy/low reps so definitely work it in if you like it. It changed my…

No worries!! You have lives! :-))))

48 hour bump. Feeling trapped in a cycle! Pushed calories back up to 1600 yesterday. Tiny gain. Back to 150. Don't know why I don't lose any unless carbs are lower. SS and Sara is it ok to be lower on carbs if body reacts this way? Or should I still try and keep the 125g going? Thanks so much for your wisdom and help!

I'm back! I started one day late as September 10th was my birthday, and I eat whatever the heck I like that day. Haha! Sept 11th 160 (highest I have seen in well over a year. Sodium/carb/alcohol/TOM all at once) 9/12 155.6 9/13 153.4 9/14 152.2 9/15 150.4 9/16 151.4 9/17 150.4 I have been under 1600 most days and a lot…

cookie dough is insane. LOVE. The white chocolate raspberry is my new favorite. The brownie and peanut butter/chocolate are good for "protein bars"
