This is awesome. I didn't even know about this. Thanks for saying I'm 30! Lol...actually I just turned 40 but I probably do look around 30...at least that's what I'm told. So I should eat 1800-1900 calories following the "maintain" macros, and add weightlifting to my workouts?

A trainer at my gym...

How many calories should I be eating then to lose? I was told 1200!

Oh, I don't know, just eating what I felt like eating. I mean, I eat pretty reasonably healthy to begin with but probably endulged in too much pasta, sugar and beer more than I should have during that time.

Yea, I definitely am going to add weightlifting. I just need a good routine that is actually attainable at firsta and that I can accelerate at. I had an online coach for a brief time last year and felt like the meal plan and routine was a little advanced for me. I'm not training for competition....yet. Lol. I am extremely…

I gained 15 lbs over an 8 month period and have maintained that gradual gain since then. Which is a lot for me. I'm 5'4" and have never really struggled with my weight until now. I'm sure age and hormones have something to do with that as well.

1200 Calories? Well I need to cut fat so if I eat any more than that I won't lose. I'm not at the point where I'm heavy weightlifting or anything just simply doing the HIIT workouts so far.

I honestly haven't been tracking the calories burned and I am not eating them back. I am eating carbs currently but here's my daily breakdown: Protein at least 121g Carbs 76g Fat 47g I have been definitely feeling weak, but I can't tell if I'm battling some type of cold which usually happens this time of year with the…

Thanks so much guys. You helped me a ton.

I'm actually about 10-15lbs heavier than that picture, it's old and I haven't updated it. I probably look similar with more fat around my belly and thighs. I'm 5'4" and 129 lbs. I rapidly gained 15lbs in about a year due to being very happy and lazy in a new relationship. haha. I'd like to lose that 15lbs eventually, but…

I am 5'4" and 129 lbs. Mostly need to trim down my stomach, butt, thighs and arms. So everything...lol! I'm just completely lost I think about what I should be focused on nutritionally to lose the weight. I realize that muscle weighs more, but I'm not looking to bulk up at all, just want to see some definition again. The…

1200 cals has been for fat loss. I am ultimately looking to do both, but most importantly have been trying to lose extra fat first.

Hey feel free to add me. I'm new here too and starting 30 day shred and new lifestyle today! My first time on MFP so I could use support as well. Hoping to lose 12-15lbs, but hoping for more results in inches and tightening up.

Hey I'm new here too! Hd my second baby 7 months ago and finally deciding to make the commitment. Starting my new diet and 30 day shred today! Add me!

I'm also starting the shred today for the first time. I hope this works because I have some baby flab that I need gone before I hit the beach this summer. New 1200 cal diet today as well...glad to see so many of you working towards the same goals as me!
