Quagmire. no explanation needed ugh

you need to eat more. the less you eat, the more your body holds onto the fat. not sure how much more you need to eat bc don't have your stats, but 1200 cals would be for someone who's simply trying to keep their organs functioning. Would you drive your car without any gas in it? You couldnt. Same as your body. It needs…

^ sorry no lol

I love when you post! Such a great motivator!!! Thank you!!

Creepy!! Purple tshirt, black leggings, just finished working out.

I did 1200 calories for 5 months with treadmill and gained 10 lbs. Now I eat 2000 calories and lost 5 lbs One and half inches in a month lifting weights 3x week. 1200 didn't work for me. I began losing when I upped my calories. I'm also only 5'4".

Im so sorry to hear about your mother :( God bless her soul. Try not to put so much pressure on yourself and don't injure yourself by stressing your joints, knee and muscles with over training because it's what you think you need to do. Start small and work your way up to fitness. You can start by taking a 15 minute walk…

thank you yes, very helpful!

The only scale I use is to weigh food. I follow my body measurements. The scale is too inconsistent for me. I can't be on that roller coaster ride.

I'm pretty sure I'd wind up birthing that thing.

I did the same thing. Pulled up a 95 lb and can barely stand up straight now LOL. Healing and back at it next week, correctly.

Congrats!! Such an amazing feat!! I quit cold turkey nearly 3 years ago. Smoked 30 years. Horrible habit. I quit many times before I finally let it go. I still have the full pack of smokes I last used. Never got rid of them. One of these days, but keeping them around helped me immensely. Always told myself I could have one…

ok well I tried to lift the 95 and hurt my lower back. Now that's either from very bad form, or it's just too heavy. Once I heal, I will start with 45 and see how it is, If good, I'll add the 20. Thank you for helping me sort it out. Really appreciate the boost. :drinker:

I like your advice. It coincides with what I'm being told by others. Are you suggesting to begin the deadlifts at 45lbs and adding 10 each week? I know SL said 95 but it confuses my oh so intelligent brain :wink:

Hi I found that also. Thought I'd follow it. So on the days you don't lift, you are still working out?

Thanks Martucha123 Yes it is rather frustrating that they dont have what is necessary. They seem to focus on diet drinks, powders, cardio and babysitting. I asked one of the employees if they had calipers and she didn't know what I meant. Oh well live and learn. I may have an option to purchase a weight set, however, being…

awesome. you look more 'squared'. looks really good!

Hi I just joined the group because I'm interested in strength training, which I've already begun. I started with the 45 lb bar but it felt light to me. Is it okay to try out other weights (higher) and start with one that feels like it's working? I am a very strong person with a lot of body fat, 44% which may be why I have…

I was not made single by choice, thanks to a cheating, feckless, self centered ex husband. :bigsmile: That was a long time ago. No sense hanging onto old wounds. Happily available though!! :love:

THIS. I posted a topic similar to this. For me, the thing is this, I crave food during TTOTM. And I eat. I crave carbs mostly. I eat them. I dont feel bad because my body is calling for it. I'm not 'taking a break' from anything because I'm not dieting. Im living a normal life which includes eating, and exercising. Ive…

Thats a lot of working out!! Good for you!! You are clearly working out 6 days a week as you said. If so, you are very active (5-6 days a week) and should be using that TDEE minus 20% = total calories consumed each day. If you are going to change the activity level, then adjust accordingly. As long as you are giving your…

5 STARS! BEST ANSWER!!!!!

You do P90X 6 days a week and somedays 2 x's a day??? You are very active!! It's not asking what you do without the workouts! They are part of your daily activity! You need fuel to keep those workouts going. You have to include those. But I have to ask you a question?? On what days are you resting your body???? You should…
