Male 21 soon to be 22 6'0" CW: 210 (approaching goal weight)

Sure can

I mix it with flavored greek yogurt for a high protein snack. So good...

You're saving a ton by accepting the offer, so do it! Since you like it so much you'll be motivated to use it like crazy and you'll have a new goal and something else to reward you with since you have the money you saved with this offer. Sounds like a win-win-win all over the place. :happy:

1. Whatever works better for you. Some people feel sick or lightheaded if they eat before working out. There is no timing window for this. Just do what fits your schedule best. 2. I'm assuming you mean low weight exercises for the legs? Regardless, you could always just do body weight squats and calf rases. Whatever you…

Feel free to add me, I am always on and love helping others! Anyone can add me as well :D

I like you...

HELL Yes!!! I think my new favorite pizza is BBQ Chicken and Garlic Chicken. I'm making my own version in a couple days :laugh: But for me, I can't stand green olives or anchovies. Anyone that can't stand bacon, pepperoni, or sausage on their pizza can GTFO!!! JK...I respect those that don't like things on their pizza.…

It's more of a psychological thing than anything else. Once people know that they are so close to their goal weight there's a few factors that come into play that cause it to be harder. 1. They start easing up on their food logging and intensity of exercise, mainly thinking that the last X pounds will just come of like the…

HUMMUS Just about any of it is good, I like pita chips with it. Or I just use my veggies to dip in it. I really want hummus now....

It's possible

Yes

I'm not older but ever since breaking my clavicle in football my freshman year of high school, anything that works my shoulders will make the one that broke make all sorts of crackling noises. It doesn't necessarily hurt, but it does give me a weird feeling and is quite bothersome. Also, I have bad knees so squats hurt at…

Me too, now I have nothing to say in this thread...:ohwell:

Sweeetttt!!! Great job Emma! You've come a long way and you're looking great! Good luck with the rest of your goals, I know you can do it! :drinker:

You wake up 2-3 hours before lunchtime? Wish I could do that...

I'm pretty sure they meant 3 sets of 10 reps... As for the question, I've got nothing to add to the great advice being given. OP, you look fabulous right now so don't be too bummed if things go slower than you'd like. I know that you said you're not in a rush and everything but some people eventually want to see results…

Let's bump this

Anything that says X Day Diet is a fad. Sure it works, but it's a quick fix that doesn't last. Hence you not being able to stick with it. You want to go with a gradual loss if you only have a moderate amount to lose because that is much easier to manage and maintain when you reach your goal weight.

I personally think it's a lot but if you have that time to kill and like that routine then there's no reason not to stick with it. It's obviously worked so far based on your profile but at least you know that everyone is telling you that if you ever feel like you don't have as much time or just can't do that much volume…

Hey it happens to the best of us! At least you don't have to worry about calories for the rest of the day as much now :D

This. Supplements are not bad but 500 calories a day is. Make a rule of a 1200 calorie minimum but don't hate on supplements. They have their place in weightloss...

JoRocka pretty much explained that. Squats and Deadlifts are compound exercises meaning they work more muscles in that exercise. If you're pressed for time then you can easily do a 5x5 of squats and deadlifts and completely skip all the presses, extensions, curls, and whatnot because those same muscles are worked doing…

I'm assuming you're already fit and are trying to gain muscle while reducing your already low body fat to an even lower one? If that's the case then you'll want to do a body recomp. It'll take a while but you'll gain muscle and burn fat. You have to eat at a caloric surplus on lifting days and lift heavy, and eat at…

If it can be synched with MFP then wear it and transfer it here but if it doesn't then you could still wear it and manually add the calories burned. I'm pretty sure there's an option to do that...

You would have to go into the cardio section and log it under "Weight Training." It just includes weightlifting in general so you wouldn't be able to log an individual workout or muscle that you worked.

You are on the higher end of a healthy BMI so you could either maintain or lose a little bit. It all depends on how you look and feel so you have to decide. Since you want to gain strength, you could eat at maintenance and lift heavy and your body will recomp and you will lose fat and build muscle. You may gain a little…

Pardon me for not being up to date with the terms of the modern world but what exactly does No Holds Barred mean?

I only eat twice a day with an occasional snack. And my lunch and dinner are usually pretty even as far as calories go, but my dinner has more volume. I like doing it this way so I feel full when going to bed so I don't binge on something I shouldn't.

Well it depends. Did your personal trainer assign that calorie goal to you? If so then you should ask him if he based it off of your TDEE or BMR. If it was your TDEE then you do not need to log your exercise into MFP because the calories burned is already included into your daily calories so you'd already be eating them…
