bump to read tonight

thank you all for your responses and advice. one thing i keep seeing is fit it into your calories. well if i want to go out and say have a tenderloin with fries (my all time favorite) thats just not going to fit my calories unless i workout like a mad women and restrict what i eat the rest of the day and that doesnt seem…

MUSCLE DOES NOT WEIGH MORE THAN FAT! sorry for the caps but this irks me to know end. a pound is a pound wether its feathers, fat, muslce or gumnballs. i workout hard 6x a week. i enjoy working out. i go to the Y and have met some really cool people there. its just a mind issue i am having but i fear if i stop logging i…

i probably ate 5000 calories! thats just stupid ( for me and IMO)

i did a bulk where i ate at a surplus and did heavy lifting for 4months ( i ate a bit to much over my TDEE and gained too much fat in the process which i am finding extremely hard to get back off) i have been cutting since january eating below TDEE and lifting heavy. i was doing full body weights 3x a week and cardio 3x a…

last night. i ate SO MUCH food i was embarrased to even log it. :frown:

its not that i cant control having snacks. i can eat a serving of ice cream, but i dont because i dont feel its worth it. then that leads to the binging. because i am so hard and restrictive on myself. i eat snack but they are all healthy. fruit, protein shakes, PB, things like that. but i freak out when an occasion arises…

i have used multiple online calculators and trial and error. i believe my TDEE is around 2300. i am set to lightly active on MFP. as i have two young kids and i am a bartender. i would be happy with .5lb loss a week so i can eat a bit more.

Lowering calories does NOT always result in quicker weight loss. And the closer to your goal, the HARDER it will be to lose weight. What are you doing for exercise? [/quote] i lift heavy 5x a week seperate muscle groups followed by a 20 min cardio session (either steady state cardio or HIIT) thursdays i do spin for 45min,…

bump i LOVE cheesecake

i did not have a good experience with my bulk. according to another great MFP friend i did a fulk! lol which would mean i ate to much of a surplus and gained alot of excess uneeded fat. :grumble: i have been cutting since january and have barely lost any weight. it is driving me crazy! :sad: just my opinion but i wouldnt…

it seems all the men are saying f*** diets on the fourth and the ladies are trying to stick to a plan

anyone else?

i will try to log as best as i can but i am using the day as a "free" day. but not on crappy beer food. my father in law is coming into town from colorado and we are going to take him to dinner at a fancy restaurant in town complete with wine and dessert :smile:

sounds yummy! thanks

bumping! i LOVE overnight oatmeal

i consume roughly 200grams of protein a day. i just dont want to add another supplement to my bill if it is not neccesary

GOOD tickets to a justin beiber concert for my daughters 7th birthday. its a surprise and she is going to be the happiest little girl ever!!! :love: I cant wait to take her!

i dont drink anything BUT water but because im never thirsty i have to chug it down quickly otherwise i wont drink it

breakfast as well! i love oatmeal with whatever i have to throw in it (PB, protein powder, jelly, fruit, you get the idea :smile: ) and protein pancakes topped with PB or eggs with salsa....

butterfly push up i am assuming.... here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7_bJQT5_BU&feature=fvsr

i am curious becaus like i said BEFORE mfp i ate like a normal person. while not everything was healthy (i ate out ALOT) i did eat healthy food, because i enjoy it. i LOVE fruits, veggies, grilled chicken, ect. but i also ate dessert(not everyday) and i ordered what i wanted when i went out to eat (not just what was…

oreos are my number one thing i can NOT buy... after that comes in no particular order : honey roasted peanuts, peanut m&m's and reeses peanut butter cups!!!!

i have a teddy bear named Ace and i :heart: all 6lbs of him!!!

^^^^ this ^^^^ i tried elimintating all the "bad" and "unclean" foods from my diet to stick to my stict macros. i lasted 5 weeks then decided i would have a cheat meal for the hubbys bday. after a wonderful somewhat healthy chinese meal i proceded to eat 1.5pieces of pie with ice cream and a bowl of ice cream covered in…

so is eating like this necessary ALL the time? or just closer to comp time. never having treats or indulging EVER seems crazy!

i dont mind eating clean most of the time. i enjoy healthy foods but i would like to be able to indulge occasionally and have healthier versions of other things weekly. is that not possible?

i know training for a fitness comp is different and you need to be more strict but the comp is a year away and the trainer is saying i need to eat like this ALL the time. not just the 12 weeks or so before competiton.

it seems alot of people have had success by eating some snacks and occasionaly have cheat meals/days when life calls for it. i used to have the mentality that this is not a diet but a lifestyle change. then i started wanting to train for a figure comp and this trainer has got me thinking the only way to get that lean,…
