Chocolate. Mmmmmm.

High five!

And, for some reason, I'm Only just NOW seeing vismals post. That's the kind of info I am looking for people to Provide. Thanks vismal!

Ha! I do plenty of cycling/spinning on bikes!

Thanks for both of these. I am probably going to end up googling it, but wanted to throw it out there in mfp to get some info from all of you out there. I don't know much about it in the first place to say whether or not it Will help me in any way, or hurt me in any way. It's something I've seen mentioned in places before…

^^good and bad info. If someone has an opinion without actually knowing about calorie cycling, I'm interested in the opinion but have something to back it. Again, I want good and bad with calorie cycling. But, I'd like real info on it. Not just "my friend like tried it and like didn't like it and like got really sick from…

Yes. Actual information on the topic.

Is there anyone out there that can give some advice on calorie cycling? I appreciate all of the replies, but the point of my post is to ask for advice on that topic alone. Thanks!

No, I've tried eating at a deficit for a few weeks, then tried eating a little higher to see if that would kick start me. Nothing. There have been weeks where I would go 500-600 calorie deficit every single day and days where I would only go a few hundred calories deficit to see if maybe my fat and calorie burning zones…

That is rough :(. I'm so sorry to hear about your breakup. You are doing the right thing, though. Get your butt moving and take in some fresh air. While it won't heal you, it will help your healing be a little easier. Good luck and stay positive. We're all here for you <3

Thanks everyone. I do yoga a lot. I wanted something a little higher in intensity, but not a weight baring type of workout. I opted for some kickboxing. Felt good. Thanks for all of the advice!

I don't know anything about the Keto diet. Does it allow for a little caffeine? Maybe some oolong tea in the morning? It could be the season change too. Also, if you're trying to get pregnant, possible that you are now? I know when I got pregnant, I was exhausted. That's how I knew I was pregnant very early on.

This! Also, JM has a beginner DVD that is fabulous. Not sure if it's the same as "beginner shred", but it says JM for beginners. It's two workouts. One for the frontside and one for the backside. They are longer workouts, but they are tremendously effective at getting your muscles conditioned so that you can move on to…

Thanks so much! Another 1.5 down this morning. Preggo weight be gone! lol

Thank you! <3

I know when I changed to 30DS for the first time, things changed very quickly! JM is fantastic, and I do a lot of her workouts. Also, give Bob Harpers inside out method workouts a try. They're insanely hard, but fabulous! Good luck!

I change my calorie goals every 10lbs or so. If I follow a strict calorie regimen, I really don't see an improvement. After meeting with a dietician, I should be between 1800 and 2200 calories depends on my workouts, where apps like this tell me around like 1400-1500. That is way too low for me. Complex carbs and lean…

Honestly, just losing something every week is my goal. I know I won't be a consistent 1-2lbs a week like I was before, so I'm trying not to rely on the scale as much as taking measurements and paying attention to how my clothes fit.

I <3 you for posting this. The scale is my little evil friend, and hasn't been moving much even though I know things are changing. This post is exactly what a lot of us need to read from time to time. Thank you, and way to go!!

Thanks everyone. I was stuck for about 4 weeks. Dropped 2lbs this week and I think it was my changing into higher weight/lower rep and more muscle concentration. Just trying to bust through it. I constantly change it up (meaning every couple of weeks or so) after my muscles get used to what I'm doing. They adapt very fast…

Two words.... Sleep training Good luck!!

I workout at night. Workouts make me tired instead of giving me energy so I workout around 8pm while my husband gets my 12 month old ready for bed.

This!

I just stopped my kickboxing routine and went back into some weights with lower body combo workouts. I'm finding my muscles to be pretty tired, so today I just did a 3 mile walk DVD. I didn't want to take the day off per se, but I could tell my body needs a day off of squats, lunges, wide rows, etc. So, it really depends…

Thanks! I definitely trust it! It has led me to losing 40lbs already! I am just getting a little frustrated. The scale is my guide right now because putting clothes on doesn't help me determine where I am at since I am in between my HUGE pregnant clothes or my little size 6-8 clothing. lol

THIS! Good luck!!
