I meticulously weigh and log my days. Anyone can add me.

26. Anyone can add me.

Can you provide more details? How long have you been at it? How many calories are you consuming? What is your net calorie deficit? How accurately are you tracking your intake, are you using a kitchen/food scale?

You are only eating 1000 calories/ day? I would bump that up. You don't want to eat less than your BMR. Check out this calculator: http://www.iifym.com/bmr-calculator/

Add me. I I would love to have more friends.

I always lift first. I do this so that I have the energy to make sure that I can hold form on my lifts. Whatever I have left for energy after I lift goes into cardio.

You might be suffering from caffeine withdrawal. Green tea is a healthy substitute that has a little caffeine to take the edge off of those headaches. Also drink plenty of water.

The more the merrier! I enjoy seeing everybody's daily victories moving them towards their goals. I keep an open diary.

Add me. Nothing better than seeing everyone working towards their goals!

Without seeing your food diary I would say water retention.

Hello.

I am usually sore for 1-2 days after. The best way to handle this is to split up your routine. Do legs one day, upper body the next and stretch another. This way you can still workout while the muscles you worked before are still sore and recovering. Also eat more protein, it will help with recovery.

You can set you goal at your TDEE - 20% and then add the lifting calories burned under cardio. I set my goal to my base non exercise calories then add my exercise calories back.

Feel free to add me. I am essentially doing a recomp. in 11 months I have lost 20 pounds of fat and gained 4.5 pounds of muscle. I get periodic DEXA scans to test body comp.

Seems like it would be harder to type this than normal... Back to the point though. OP Start lifting now. Take time to learn the proper form and go crazy.

I can set the number, but it still shows 1800 cals for a daily goal.

Mine did. Cannot change it at all. Seems like a way for them to force premium on us.

If i consume too much aspartame i get migraines. Some people tolerate it better than others. I just try to avoid artificial sweeteners and my progress seems to go better.

Soy protein

Add me. I lift 6 days/ week. Open diary and I log everything.

Are you tracking everything that you are eating, or do you snack without logging? A few treats here and there may seem harmless, but they really can add up. I bought a food scale and weigh everything. I was shocked by how much I overestimated serving sizes, and therefore my calorie intake.

I add flavor by using different spices. 1)Curry 2)cayenne pepper & chiplote pepper 3) Lemon pepper and garlic. All with a little butter and salt.

Feel free to add me.

Anyone can add me if the please.

In the beginning people will question why you are making choices that seem to be sacrifices. Once you achieve you goals they will wonder how you did it... they will be envious too... :)

Have it. Love it.

The land inst running our of nutrients. Farming is significantly more technologically advanced than most realize. We test the macro and micro nutrients after every crop and replace them. We also take advantage of rotational crops to naturally replenish some nutrients naturally. For example Soybeans plants are natural…
