Congrats on going to the gym, don't even worry about weight and start taking measurements of inches, sometimes the muscle will retain water like everyone says, and also muscle weights more than fat so over time you might even put on a little weight. This is nothing to worry about and you'll look more tone!

Oh and another thing, if you are trying to put on muscle you don't really need as much cardio. I know the cardio helped you with faster weight loss, but you will definitely need to be eating a lot more to support both activities. If it scares you to be eating 2200+ cals then maybe you can cut back a bit on the cardio and…

First of all congrats on your weight loss, that's amazing :) I wouldn't track your exercise cals because those can be very misleading (it's hard to measure exactly how much is being burned). If i were you I would go the TDEE route-- on MFP they have that page where they ask you to say how active you are, and so you should…

hmm president of student body?

I had these pants that were slightly too small and i can finally wear them comfortably! great job everyone on your progress, love reading these :blush:

Hiya! Not new either but took a long hiatus

Why low fat? fats are great and help keep your hair and skin nice, and keep you full :) Taco salad is good: lettuce, tomato, black beans, salsa, some meat, a little cheese and avocado! Also, stir fry: asian frozen veg (or fresh veg if you arent too lazy to cook), some brown rice and some meat/tofu with a bit of teriyaki…

I know I should believe my doctor and many other articles that I read, but I am so desperate to have a baby that I'm willing to do many ridiculous things like stop exercising. Please let me know, just for a peace of mind, if you succeeded in getting pregnant while work out regularly. Did no one read this?! Shes not being…

26, personal trainer, single?

haha i didnt buy the program i just torrented it and then looked online at what each container's volume is (i.e yellow container = 1/2 cup)

beautiful :)

30, married, teacher?

Maybe these programs are good for people who need a push in the right direction; not everyone has the motivation at first to take things into their own hands, and although online research could provide the answers, with everything that's online its hard to know where to start! I just don't see why anyone would pay for…

About 1200 for the meal- so worth it!

this again haha.

Hey op, sorry for the not-so-helpful responses. Honestly it sounds fine to me , but I do think that maybe you are overthinking things a bit too much! eating almost exactly the same thing every day would drive me crazy but you know yourself better than anyone of us. also I think other people on this thread are over…

Try some of these maybe, you said you didn't know where to start with yoga/pilates :) http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/full-length-workouts/?type[]=3d&type[]=3b&time_min=&time_max=&cal_min=&cal_max=

My insight: if it aint broke, dont fix it! Seems like whatever you're doing is working fine. If you start feeling overly tired, moody, weak, etc or feel like you get the urge to binge etc then you should up your calories. There is no magic formula for weight loss so you might as well do whatever works for you :)

What kinds of foods are you eating? Try to fill up on high volume/fiber foods like veggies when you're hungry.

yea im not sure where she gets those numbers from, maybe its possible for severely overweight individuals or something- but i looked at the nutrition part of it and its actually quite reasonable!
