I think that is what a lot of people try to do, eat something when they go out on the weekends, it has worked for me! :)

My friend went on a junk food purge for the day and lost some weight after a plateu may work for you

The only time protein shakes didn't work for me is when I would add a lot of extra things in them life fruit and yogurt and milk peanut butter, almond butter. I usually try to just add one thing now and it has been working just fine. It seems like your diet has more of an effect on your body than your exercise so keep it…

I just improvise and do similar movements and the plyometrics and ab ripper and some others dont need anything

This is the same thing as interval training :)

I did that with a brand new pair of jeans as well!

Went from a size 8 to a size 6 jean after 10 pounds, size 6-4 after another 5.

I used to do 2.5 hours of cardio and 30 mins of weights 6 days a week when I was 40 pounds overweight, It came off pretty quickly but I had to make sure I ate enough.

Scientifically speaking, the most muscle a woman can gain in a month is a maximum for 4 pounds, it is a little different for men but if you have gained more then 4 pounds just keep that in mind.

I drink my shake right after I workout so sometimes in the morning or evening. You can eat eggs, quinoa, cottage cheese is my favorite, nuts. Try to incorporate those into all your meals.

Aspartame, it's best to stay away from artificial sweeteners. It is kinda of funny in my research methods class we did an experiment with rats and gave them natural sugar water and artificial sugar. The rats that drank the artificial sugar water initially lost more weight then the regular sugar but after a few weeks they…

MFP has a really high carb allowance and horribly low protein allowance, you need to change your percentages. If you are working out and doing strength training you need to eat a lot of protein and it will only help you. I try to eat more protein than carbs and it has helped me a lot :)

It happens for me when i'm with my boyfriend on the weekends we eat a lot more than usually but during the week we both get back on track

Idk why MFP has it set that high, that is a ridiculous amount especially if you want to lose weight lol. SO just change your percentages :)

I am chugging the water as well :)

It really depends on how much you exercise and what exactly you are doing. For me I burn about 700 calories per workout so I need to eat my exercise calories back or I am going to hurt myself. The magic 1200 is what MFP recommended for me but I usually eat 1500-1600 a day. With weight training, some people may use 2 pounds…

No, your body just pushes it through. It can be better for you especially if you are eating a high protein diet

I am guilty of weighing myself several times a day as well. I did it when I was 70 pounds heavier and I still do it now, it's just right there and yes it can be discouraging but It has actually helped me a lot. For example I realized that when I ate more of my exercise calories back the day before, I lost weight. When I…

Hi! I will be doing Ramadan this year hoping to fast as much as I can. I haven't really thought of a plan yet but I do have some ideas, feel free to add me and maybe we can help eachother with food and exercise during Ramadan :)

How much lean protein are you eating? Most times people can't lose weight, they are eating a large amount of carbs and very little protein

I just looked at phase 1 and I am really excited to start :)

sounds like you got it right :)

I try really hard to eat as few carbs as possible but carbs are in everything! My goal was to eat more protein than carbs but it is so hard. I try to have some protein at every meal, feel free to add me we can help each other out! :)

I used Lipo 6 hers and it gives me a lot of energy. But I only use it right before my workouts never in the mornings unless i;m working out in the morning.

Yes! I took my bodyfat measurements, I'm currently at 29% and I think a healthy number for my size is 25% so I'm trying to work towards that :)

It's crazy how a lot of us are the exact same weight and height, really gives me a lot of motivation! :)

Wow that is amazing! How did you do it, I know probably diet and exercise lol but was there anything else that really helped you?

I usually do breakfast lunch dinner at 300 calories each (approx) and two snacks usually 150-200. But I usually exercise so it bumps up my calories so I can eat more. If you add me you can look at my diary :)

Yepp, I like to think of fruit as natural candy/dessert and eat a few servings a day. Veggies are definitely the way to go for adding into every meal.

I was planning on starting aug 1st as well but I only have the part 3 disks i think that is the hardest one but hopefully I will see some results during the month :)
