1. Go to exercise: CrossFit 2. Friends: I'm an introverted extrovert... I make friends quickly but I'm good at pushing them away or keeping a distance. Sadly. 3. Animal: Dogs 5. Motivation: I want to have a photo of myself and feel attractive again 6. Country/City: City 7. Go back: To high school to take it more seriously…

Honestly the first 10 lbs was probably water weight and now you are going into a more normal weight loss. You're not meant to drop 5 lbs a week.

I'm in! Goals: - Stick to my macros and stay under 20 grams of carbs - No alcohol cheats (I haven't had a drink in almost two weeks!) - Start running again

Low carb ideas - hard boiled eggs - celery with cream cheese inside - Almonds/Other Nuts - Lowfat cheese stick - Cheddar cheese with apple slices - Peanut butter with apple slices - Greek yogurt - Kale chips - Olives - Rolled up deli meat around pickles with cream cheese - Roasted chickpeas - Tuna with some mayo and…

My cutie is 4 and I have 50lbs to lose! Feel freed to add me. I just started the Keto diet and am down 6 lbs of water weight. I do CrossFit for workouts. :)

79 Reps RX'ed I'm coming off a slipped disc in my back so I'm happy.

Bananas are really high in carbs. I make smoothies with coconut cream. It's high in fat and calories but low in carbs. 1/3 cup coconut cream (make sure you mix it up!) 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder 1 cup of water 1 tablespoon peanut butter ice I think there's 4 net carbs in that one. It really fills me up. I will eat…

I had this for lunch with a baked chicken thigh.

OMG that all looks amazing.

Diets are 80% healthy diet and 20% exercise. Of course MFP works, if you follow the process, and don't stuff your face.

I don't know who Chris Powell is but if you figure our your Total Daily Energy Expenditure https://tdeecalculator.net you can figure out how many calories you burn in a day. If you are looking to loose weight-- technically you can eat that and work out (working out at a deficit). On days you don't workout you can decrease…

You can eat whatever you want.

I didn't see where it was written that you had to eat 5 times a day. You can adjust your meals with what fits your schedule. Eat when you are hungry. Incorporate calorie dense whole food (nuts, avocados, etc.) into your diet. I prefer to eat a bigger breakfast because it gets me through to lunch. I typically only eat 4…

They're only unhealthy if they have some sort of sauce on them. They're just flash frozen. I buy frozen broccoli because it's easier to toss into recipes. I also buy it fresh and roast it. Both ways are good.

I don't follow a program. I currently do CrossFit 3 - 4 times a week. I like it because every day is different and there's a lot of focus on Olympic lifts.

I did ETP for almost 6 months, I gained 10 pounds and couldn't take it. It's a process and if you're looking long term and are okay with "bulking" for a significant amount of time before cutting, then it may be for you. Also-- It's more focused on turning fat to muscle. Not the scale going down. I was too mental about the…

This info is very helpful. Pork rinds? Hmmm... I've never heard of those before. All of my reading warns to not over do it on the protein from the beginning. I've been trying to stay in my Macros.

Thick thighs save lives, IMO. If you're lifting then you are building muscle. I view that as a good thing.

I just started yesterday! Feel free to add me. :)

Try for some more calorie dense foods. I have a hard time with a huge volume of food because it bloats me. I go for nuts and avocados to boost calories and fat.

But I do Crossfit. Didn't you know? lol...

Thank you. This makes a lot of sense. I do need to re-look at things... CrossFit stays! I love it too much. I've never been so challenged physically before and it feels good.

I used MFP to get 1800 calories. Maybe a nutritionist would be good.

Thanks! I feel like calories are kind of irrelevant for me right now. I'm just trying to eat enough whole foods. Cut out the processed junk. I'm having a hard time eating my 1800 calories a day plus.

I have the Women's Inov-8 FastLift 335 shoes and I love them. Do you have a box store where you can get fitted? The general rule of thumb is that you go up two sizes because they do run small. I wear a size 7.5 shoe and bought a size 9 in a lifter. I have really skinny feet so the Inov-8's work well. I believe that Reebok…

THIS IS THE LAST PLACE YOU SHOULD EAT IN NYC. There is so much wonderful food there... Stay away from tourist traps and chain restaurants. Everything is a metro ride away. :)

Do you like sushi? This place is pricey but located right in Times Square http://www.bluefinnyc.com Also... If I was going to NYC, I would eat wherever I wanted, just within moderation. Some of my favorites (not really times square area because of the tourist trap) - Fat Radish (Farm to table concept) - Morimoto - Union…

I'm in the 1200-1499 range but only netting 859 calories.

Thank you!!! This actually helps a lot. I'm a seasoned runner and a less seasoned vegetarian. ;)
