I use isopure unflavored whey or their no carb vanilla. It's gross tho and I have to add a bit of chocolate syrup lol! I only use one scoop at a time. Each scoop is 25 grams of protein at a time.

Thanks!!

Awesome!

I'm 5'3" and need to lose 40-50# currently 180# feel free to add me! With PCOS and hypothyroidism

I will do that! It really is amazing that there can be such a difference.

That was really eye opening!

And really I do weigh everything on a digital scale. I was looking back at my Fitbit steps and Im not averaging 10k steps as often as I thought. I forget to charge my Fitbit tho. I do have a garmin vivo active on its way I'm excited about.

I opened it up. I thought it was but it was friends only. I do need to weight train. I live in rural America. Closest gym is 40 miles away. So I have to do everything home based. I do own a set of adjustable bow flex dumb bells that go to 50# I believe. I love yoga too. But haven't been doing it. If you are so curious to…

I completely did not realize that either! I will sure do that!

I checked the sites for TDEE and BMR and looks like I need to bump up my calories up to 1600. I'm going to try that and really focus on being more active. The article on accurate logging was very helpful. I use the barcode scanner when I can but I didn't realize about inaccurate info on foods that others have logged. And…

@dcshima I'm honestly not sure what my tdee is @seska422 I'm using MFP to log food... Is that the database you mean? @michaelallanson I am 5'3" 179# no worries sharing ☺️ My goals are to lean up and get back to running regularly. My Macros right now are protein 135g Carbs 60g fat 47g. And I may have that all wrong.

Only 30 minutes. Maybe I just need to focus on getting my HR up for longer each day. Most of my steps come from just daily work around the house. Farm chores. Those kinds of things. I used to run 1/2 marathons. You'd think this would be easy

Unless 1200 is too much. I know I can drop Weight by only eating 900 but that's not sustainable nore is it healthy.

I'm not eating too much. I weigh everything. I do not eat any exercise calories back.

Oh I track calories. I weigh everything. I don't really feel like my body shape has changed. But maybe it has. I hate that it's so easy to gain but feels like triple effort is required to get it back off.

Thanks!

I am on levothyroxine. Have been for about 7 years. And my levels have been great the last few months with my new Endo. I had seen some info that they support metabolism especially with hypothyroid. Just curious if anyone experienced that.

Bumping

Yes, def want to preserve muscle. Was just worrying when some days I'm lucky to hit 40g of protein. I do my best to keep it up there but like I said I seem to have some days of low protein. And I'm sure way to many carbs on those days.

Thank you! I just want to be healthy and strong and to hit 80-120g that's a lot of food I would rather exchange for veggies or fruit. I have powder to supplement but I don't care for shakes much. Figuring out macros is an interesting endeavor.

Well done!! You look fabulous!

Thank you for the new requests! Hopefully it will keep me motivated and give new food ideas!

Mine should be here today or tomorrow. I cannot wait!!

I need some too! I only have about 2 that log in everyday. The rest are every couple months lol! I've lost 30# but reset my weight at the first of the year. Down 10 so far. About 30 more to go!
