I'm only at a 70 day streak right now but I've been logging around 4 months now save for a couple short breaks (two weeks while in Europe and like 1 day where I was too hung over to eat/log). I try not to obsess over breaking the login streak. It's just a number on a web site. If it helps motivate you that's great, but I…

Cycling carbs or drastically increasing cardio might be the only way. The other alternative is to take a break and eat maintenance for a while and maybe even gradually increasing cals over. 2-3 month period to reset your metabolism and then dropping them again but it sounds like you already tried the later in some form and…

I've always been EXTREMELY strict when loosing weight. My very first cut I counted calories and estimated portions and this was about 15 years ago. The next cut I had a scale etc. It always worked. I would drop 2 lbs every single week like clockwork. I did a few bodybuilding contests and it was the same thing. Very…

44f seems obscenely low. Maybe that's just me though. Must be really hard to not go over that.

You've shot your metabolism with a prolonged caloric deficit. When we diet for a long time, especially on excessively low calories our metabolism slowly adjusts to keep us from, well, dying, in case the new caloric intake becomes the norm forever. Look up "metabolic damage", or at least I think that's the term. The good…

This is a nutrition/fitness forum not a facial grooming or haircut forum. I think my body is more relevant to the topics at hand than my face. Plus, it does provide a little bit of anonymity. Not that I care, I'll give you my full name if you ask and aren't a creep about it.

It's muscle. Mainly your traps poking throgh.

With facebook as popular as it is, it's kind of hard to hide it. All it takes is a glance at past photos and if there is only face shots than it's pretty obvious.

I think you're talking about loose skin. In general, if you stay at your current weight your skin will somewhat shrink over time to your current body size and tighten. This is assuming you don't have a crazy amount.
-
You can't spot reduce as has been mentioned but you can add muscle there by doing things such as Stiff legged deadlifts and leg curls on top of just dropping bodyfat which will make that area look tighter.

This is my sister, maybe it will inspire some of you ladies: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/female_transformation_agatha_peszt.htm Those after pics are pretty old and she actually looks even better and more fit now.

Back in high school I used to get told things like "Go eat a sandwich", not to go outside cause the wind will blow me away, etc. Also got called "big head", "apple head" etc, which is not really directly about my weight but I guess my head looked big compared to my skinny body.
-
I wish I had this problem....Chest and Back are my genetic strength....arms and legs are a weakness (except calves, which are decent).
-
Actually, she has a bit of a point. "Strengthening your core" is great but it WILL make your waist slightly thicker and diminish the illusion of your *kitten* and chest being bigger. With that said, if you're over 20% bf, this isn't going to be noticeable anyways. Also, I disagree with only cardio. Weights can thicken your…

The best measuring stick for progress is the mirror, not the scale. You're doing resistance training and are gaining lean mass, it sounds to me like you ARE seeing results to me. Gaining lean mass IS progress just as loosing fat is. Did you try measuring your thighs, arms, etc? They might be getting bigger. EDIT: Have you…

My last cut I was loosing about 10 lbs a month the first two months so its possible. With that said I bumped up my cals and carbs this time to loose slower.

If he worked out for 6-8 hours a day he would be over training and would actually be screwing himself. If I had all the time in the world and got paid to be in shape I honestly wouldn't exercise any more than I do now....which is about 8 hours a week total.....it would be pointless. I agree that actors usually have a…

I bulk about 9 months of the year typically and cut for 3 but I do not have the patience to count cals when bulking. I feel your pain though. I need to bulk on 4500+. I am currently cutting on 3300-3500 and my weight is dropping like a rock and is so easy. Probably around 8-9% bf already and I've been cutting very loosely…

It's kind of a phenomenon where some guys would talk about how hot the "love triangle" or "the gap" is and I guess some girls overheard the conversations and made it their physique goal. Personally, I'll take slightly muscular, developed, legs on a girl from rail thin legs with a "gap". If the girl has a gap chances are…

This is a good "excuse". Most people can't understand "I can't drink, I'm dieting" but they'll understand "I can't drink, I'm driving".
-
Posting a picture of this will get you more comments than posting pics of you doing regular squats........only thing I can think of
-
My goal is 3300-3500 and yes, I loose weight eating that much.
-
Wow, I didn't know this was really a game, lol
-
Honestly, I think that word should be spelled "Loosing" and I pretty much ALWAYS misspell it. It makes no sense from a pronunciation standpoint. I've actually had this argument on another forum recently. But point taken, I guess I should at least TRY to spell it correctly.

My intention signing up here was to actually give helpful advice and not troll so I'm fighting the temptation but it's a loosing battle.

I think this thread went over most people's heads......trolling is an art form. But thanks for checking out my profile.

No, not bi-curious. I love vagina too much.

Would it amuse you if it was? If so, than maybe. ;)
