i thought the exact same thing my first month here, i was like...c'mon this is easy. it probably had a lot to do with all the extra fat i was carrying where having large calorie deficit was not a problem. then it hit me, i felt famished and my initial calorie goal was not cutting it, and on top of that because i had 10…

my NSV i've come to accept that it doesnt matter now how long it takes for the weight to come off initially when i joined i wanted the weight to come off like yesterday, but today im at peace with my weight loss progress. im lighter, my clothes fit better, im exercising again im at a point where i can just continue with my…

very nice transformation you could almost say, on the left is my dad and on the right is me

i think it means, eating the same foods you've always eaten, but by logging your food correctly you can also stay within your calorie goals and still lose weight. put simply: eat what you love to eat....just eat a little less of it. other items like treats are usually planned ahead, enjoyed, logged, without ever having to…

i think this is a perfect example of weekly weight fluctuations that everyone is always talking about about how weight loss is not linear about how the body will retain water and poop and make it seem you've gained weight there's really only one simple question you can ask yourself Am I in a calorie deficit? at 1750 cals…

ham, eggs, asparagus, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, country potatoes, wheat toast with cream cheese 496 kcals.

thanks for sharing!

it looks like your man also lost some weight great job to both of you i wonder how many other couples are doing it together.

yup, buy the same patches so she can have the same collection and you keep the originals.

AHH-Mazing and you're only 21. the lessons learned here should last you a lifetime congrats man

since you only have 6 lbs to lose, i would make sure to know my TDEE (total number of calories your body burns everyday) then I would eat somewhere between 10% to 20% below TDEE and not worry about where the calories are coming from. so yes, log everything. once you start hitting your calorie goal you'll be in a deficit…

i would first track it in my food diary for a couple of weeks to see how much sodium you are consuming once you know how much salt you consume you can decide to increase if necessary most people are quite shocked to find out how much sodium they are already eating from everyday foods

i am still too new and a total novice not to be logging but I'm really looking forward to the day when i can eat and maintain a healthy weight based on "feel" i think that is what this process is teaching me, how eat proper portions, have a piece of fruit between meals, stay hydrated, and not have to stuff myself once a…

your transformation is really impressive. thanks for posting.

truth be told, the only reason i would love to be taller is to have a higher natural weight being taller = higher TDEE = eating more food

just one mans opinion here... since i also joined to lose around 60lbs dont worry about his macros, just give him a moderate calorie deficit and most importantly let him eat all the foods he normally eats. that way it doesn't feel like he is on a diet perhaps just eating a medium portion of whatever he is having as opposed…

if you have an app with GPS, try walking at 5 MilesPerHour

in the scheme of things, that's pretty close

im curious how the scale bf% matches to something visual like this http://www.builtlean.com/2012/09/24/body-fat-percentage-men-women/

i like the scooby calculator http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

this is a nice table that show the difference between jogging, running, and sprinting. http://www.aprioriathletics.com/fitnessmath//pace/

Dude! you look 10 years younger. congrats man.

i change the minutes spent exercising to reflect the actual calories my HRM says.

why not save extra calories MON-FRI in order to account for weekend eating.

click on exercise tab click add cardio search for this: Strength training (weight lifting, weight training) enter how many minutes you worked out and click on add. your best bet is to buy a heart rare monitor that calculates calories burned that way you are tracking properly. good luck

yup that's me. for a long time i didn't even know that's what i had mind you ive never been a heavy coffee drinker, just 16 oz on sunday morning with sweetened creamer. It goes great with pancakes or a waffle or a nice piece of sweet bread. that evening i would get this nasty nauseating feeling in my stomach that would…

don't forget to stretch your lower body really well and do at least a 5 min walk before starting to jog (warm-up) if you ever get shortness of breath, feel like throwing up, pain in the stomach, pain in the shins, or overall general pain during running....don't push through the pain. just stop jogging and continue to walk…

running longer distances is all about good form and easy breathing. breath through the nose and out the mouth. try jogging instead of actual running or sprinting which will leave you winded much faster. i would also try to stay on dirt or grass instead of hitting the pavement. and of course make sure you have a great pair…

if its just a matter of wanting to keep losing weight. my recommendation would be to exercise 3 times a week instead of 6-7. that will give your body a chance to rest/recover. I think you are just over doing it with the exercise. best of luck

LoL I better stop reading or I might never have cake again.
