Don't log your exercises if you don't want them to be a factor lol

It all depends on what you have time for, that also minimizes overtraining. As a beginner I'd always recommend each muscle group one time a week but if you must condense then the whole point of working synergistic muscles in one day is so that they ARE fatigued. If you do chest and then bi's, your bi's will be fresh, but…

Work synergistic muscle groups during the same w/o or later in the day. For example chest and then shoulders/triceps. And next day back then biceps. Next day quads and then later maybe hams and calves. Many ways to do it but I find this to be the best when I need to condense the gym week.

To gain a bit of strength I'd try using various cable exercises, most of the time you can control the angle with cables to make it easier for your wrist, mine are pretty inflexible as well. And as for the flab...Caloric deficit and cardiovascular exercise. Neither of those should put strain on your wrist; lifting weights…

MFP will allow you to enter specific gram goals. You will just be asked for percentages of total intake instead of just entering them directly. Just play with it until you get the numbers that you want.

Add some protein to the protein shake. Tastes amazing that way! Still not good enough? Probably just because there isn't enough protein...add more!

Exotic dancing, been doing it since I was 3 and a half. They say I'm a natural. Great introductory post! (better than mine)

Just to be clear, whether carbs (sugar) come from fruit (fructose) or candy (sucrose) they still turn into glucose when the body processes them. No real difference except the added benefit ofvitamins and nutrients you get from the fruit. But a carb is still a carb peoples.

HAHA so unfortunate. May be the most I've laughed all day. But don't do circus training...ever. Continue same w/o program as if you're bulking. Cutting is done with diet and cardio. Also, on a completely unrelated note, never do circus training -.-

Moving will be a miserable experience if you don't slow down and take your time. Stop and eat and relax for a bit when you're hungry. Recharge those batteries. But if you just don't have the time...then yes, pizza and beer lol

MFP estimates calories based on your lifestyle activity that you entered into your profile. So if you say you exercise frequently (3 to 5 times per week) then it accounts for that. Any extra cardio that you do isn't included and as you noticed, it'll allot you more to eat. But only for the specific day you did the extra…

And stay encouraged. Wanting it bad doesn't matter much to anyone when human instinct kicks in and says "eat". Like I mentioned, gradual decline. Keep the progress you've earned, hiccups are only a slight setback. Don't give up because of that.

The best of us fall victim to this. Not just yourself. Just remember that a diet you cannot sustain is not a good diet. If it's too difficult then scale down the intensity of the deficit and ease yourself in. But must importantly, GET RID OF ALL OF THAT UNHEALTHY FOOD. Temptation is much easier to deal with when it's far…
-
Well at that kind of deficit you should definitely be seeing constant results. If not then some of the above suggestions may help. Here are a few more. Might seem obvious but meat is weight pre-cooking, some people don't realize this. Also, if you have been at that kind of deficit, you need to incorporate higher calorie…
-
Well after viewing the picture. You do not need to slim down your legs lol. However, if you insist, then just keep a caloric deficit like it seems you are. Be sure to throw in high calorie days once or twice a week to "jumpstart" metabolism, otherwise it'll crash out. Keep in mind everyone loses fat in different places…
-
Looks like you're on the right track. Just keep in mind that (with a functioning scale) you should be concerned with the difference/change in weight, not the number itself. So it doesn't matter too much whether the number is off or not if you continue using that same one.
