  • Check your macros!! MFP does an auto calculate which is not the correct amount!!! Do some research to find what macros YOU need based on your goals, current weight etc. Also keep in mind you may be building muscle. I was in the same boat. I was super depressed because I was working super hard and had only lost 1.5 pounds…

  • Hang it there girly!! I look at my binging as an addiction. I know that when I'm craving foods like sweets at night it's because of a deeper rooted issue. I absolutely HATE looking deeper. I really, truly don't want to know whats going on for whatever reason. Usually because I find truths that's aren't flattering. But I do…

  • I'm on week 12 of the LiveFit program. I took photos at the end of each month. Thank goodness I did- I was thinking the program wasn't working, but when I looked at the pictures I saw the difference. it was around 8 weeks that I was able to think "damn, I got muscle!" haha. But stick it out. I'm going to finish this last…

  • Thanks! Not sure what I'll do yet. Just learned what macros where. ha. So I'm thinking of continuing to workout but adding in the use of MFP, whey isolate protein, supplements. I'm thinking it'll make a dent!

  • Hey girly- Good job! Don't be scared. I had never lifted weight until 3 months ago. I am now on my last week of this Live Fit program. It's good for newbies! There is a schedule for each day, each exercise has videos you can click on to show you how to do it. It's progressive too! Each day is different so you won't get…

    in Beginning lifting weights...thinking about NROLFW Comment by csm2010 June 2013
  • I agree! Take pictures. There were times where I felt "whats the use" but I saw the progress pictures and it changed my attitude! I started lifting weights with the Jamie Eason Live Fit program and after 8 weeks could see the difference. But takes pictures!! And just stick to it- there is no "finish line." It's a lifestyle…
    in How long does it take to start seeing changes? Comment by csm2010 June 2013
  • Agreed! The more musle we have the faster our metabolisms will be, the more fat we can burn. I love lifting and find it to be very empowering. I was always intimidated in the "guys" area but I am on the last week of the Jamie Eason LiveFit program (Found on bodybuilding.com) and it has changed my perception!

  • I add it to my oatmeal every morning after I workout...plus 1 serving of almonds for a healthy fat. I'm weird because I just eat it raw. haha Stir it all together, add cold water and eat it right there in the gym locker room while I get ready for work. But maybe you just need some time to get used to it or switch protein…
