I would posit that the 4HB plan is nowhere near "fad diet" territory. If eating organic vegetables, eggs, healthy fats, grass fed lean meat and legumes is wrong, I don't want to be right. Unlike unhealthy "cleanse" diets, you're getting real, whole foods that nourish your body. I absolutely understand that this way of…

FYI - sweet potatoes are a huge no-no, and meatballs may also be depending on what was used to make them. Speaking from experience, this way of eating will definitely produce results if you adhere to it strictly and you need not ever feel hungry. Tons of leafy veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, etc + a moderate…

I'm a huge numbers nerd and love seeing this kind of data. Thanks so much for sharing, and keep up the good work!

If you don't mind delaying your cut for awhile, spend some time tweaking your TDEE numbers and see what happens. If you're very slightly gaining each week, drop back 100 or so per day and go from there. Getting things to stabilize will make your cut numbers more effective.

As someone who stopped having a period for over a year because (apparently) I wasn't eating enough, I have to say I'm actually happy to see mine back since I started EM2WL. I'm sure I'll get over being excited to get it soon enough ;)

If you have one of the first 3 picks - Arian Foster, Ray Rice, LeSean McCoy. After those 3 guys, the running back situation gets a bit iffy. At This point you can take another solid RB, or go with an elite QB (Rodgers, Brady, Brees). There aren't many WRs that are first round worthy, IMO. The depth at that position is…

Week one- up 2 ounces Week two - up 2 more ounces Week three - up 2.8 pounds ACK! Just needed to vent somewhere and have someone tell me it will be ok ;) -deep breath-

Take a deep breath and smile. The scale is going to fluctuate a couple pounds in either direction all the damned time - as a woman there isn't much you can do to change that. You just ate the way your body has wanted you to for a long time, and for all intents and purposes, didn't gain a pound. Now it's time to start a new…

Thanks!! The whole journey has been more like 5 years. The plateau has been 7 months ;) 2300...I really can't even wrap my head around a number like that. All I see is weight piling on. Right now if I have a fun weekend and go 1000/2000 over 1300 for one DAY the scale is up 3 pounds the entire next week. I shudder to think…

After much research and pulling of hair, I've decided that eating too little is causing me some problems. My journey has taken years and I've probably been netting under BMR for a lot of it. My problem is that when I try adding more calories, I immediately gain weight and freak out (a story I'm sure most of you can relate…

Keep in mind that everyone's calorie burns are completely different and are based on heart rate, not time or intensity. If you're significantly overweight you can burn 200 calories much faster than you can when you're slimmer/in shape.

a lot of "protein" bars don't really have much protein and are high in carbs/sugar. I like Quest bars quite a bit (microwave them for 10 seconds before eating and they're friggin delicious) and check out the nutritional profile: Calories 170 Total Fat 6 g Saturated 1 g Total Carbs 24 g Fiber 19 g Sugars 1 g Protein 20 g…

I like Quest bars a lot (if microwaved for about 10 seconds - totally changes them). Hard boiled eggs are another option.

I have been on the same plateau for over 6 months. I've been eating well, weight training, cycling and completed C25K. I haven't really lost inches, and have just been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds over and over. To say it's been frustrating is an understatement at this point. I've tried eating more, eating less,…

I'm sure that you realize, logically, that you need to be eating more or exercising less in order to stop losing weight. It's obviously an emotional issue for you at this point. Try viewing your body differently. Instead of something that needs to be conquered (which you have already accomplished), it's now something to be…

I'm 5'8" and have been yo-yo'ing between 155 and 160 for the better part of 8 months. I'm really top heavy (short torso, lots of fat between my boobs and my lower stomach) with slim hips, legs and no butt. I feel like I need to get down to at /least/ 145 to feel a bit more comfortable with the way my body is shaped.…

Things like nuts/nut butters, avocados, cheese and olive oil are great ways to sneak in some fairly calorie dense and healthy foods into your diet.

For those of you freaking out, this is absolutely not true :)

Quest bars are completely different if you microwave them for 15 seconds. I don't like how chewy they are at room temperature, but heated up the Coconut and Brownie flavors are pretty damned amazing.

you might want to try something like the Athletic Greens supplement. here's a review: http://www.athleticgreensreview.com/athletic-greens-review-an-honest-review/

1. Where are you in the C25K program right now? - Tomorrow is Week 5 Day 2 2. Do you always take rest days in between run days? -I lift weights on my non-c25k days and usually jog for 5 min or so just to warm up 3. Have you extended or shortened the C25K program at all? -Not yet, but there may be a couple runs I need to…

your profile pic is rad :)

I suppose I shouldn't have excluded guys with my thread title - I'd love to have male lifting buddies too! It's just nice to talk about this stuff with other women ;) If you're a dude reading this and like to lift, add away!

that sounds like an amazing program! i'm loving lifting soooo much more than cardio. i actually look forward to lifting days!
