  • I reapect your opinion but I think that would be your perspective on the issue and of course some dont believe in it but there is research and information about it if you would like to check it out and it's not all 'quackery' OP for more information please look up Layne Norton, if it's something you would be interested in…
  • Did they happen to mention if you had metabolic damage from eating 1 meal a day? There are programs that can help you with your metabolic rate. I've seen a lot of girls have to go through and it's worked for them but their issue was due to eating below 1,000 calories a day while dieting for an extendes period of time:…
  • ^this in which all can be done at a home program with bands, steps, hills, and free weights
  • ???? This. I have several friends that are larger in bra size and swear by the lulu lemon tata tamer. I usually go with the real bra with underwire and sports bra over top. I'm thinking of trying the tata tamer sometime soon! Im a 34d and it seems to work except when the sports bra stretches out after months of use and…
  • How long were you eating at a very low calorie intake? Was your metabolic rate taken well into your weight loss or at the start?
  • ????????????????
  • ????
  • No not at all... Absolutely no lifting.......
  • Ahhh hahahahaha! There are a lot of people I see regularly that suffer from "F*!#arounditis." My favorite are the guys that lift 2 reps of a heavy *kitten* weight and then walk around and look at themselves for 10 minutes
  • I agree. Every body is so different and it's a trial and error because one thing may work for one person while it has no effect on the other. I have to do the 6 week mini bulks with eating at a deficit for 2-4 weeks between or directly after because of the emotions and feelings going up too high in weight causes and I…
  • The one I went to while I was traveling discriminated against my fiancé and I. In Pennsylvania, I couldn't move weights or even mats anywhere else then what was specified, as I got scolded. I was unable to do anything remote to a super set as I was once again scolded for having stuff at 2 machines. Great for beginning but…
  • I would start a weight lifting Regimine. If will be the most beneficial to your arms. You can either have an introductory course with a trainer at a gym or you can do an online program... But I caution that option for the sake of Form... Proper and correct form will give you optimal results and help keep injuries at bay...…
  • ^this 100% agree
  • ^^^ this... When eating at a deficit, as long as your not losing more than 1 1/2lbs a week, you will maintain muscle and improve 'strength' and you will have some noob gains However, unless your eating just around maintenance you will not have a slow muscle gain over time, you need the surplus of calories to 'gain' more…
  • Weight lifting is beneficial to start at any time. It not only helps maintain muscle you have while eating at a deficit, but it is beneficial to your metabolism. When you do cardio, you burn when you are in motion. With weight lifting, that burn continues for 24-48 hours. When I first lost weight, I did both cardio and…
  • Hi there :o) Awesome weight loss! Do you lift weights? If so, how frequently and what kind of lifting?
  • "Women shouldn't lift heavy... Women shouldn't bulk up..... Do all cardio and a lot of it....." Forget that!!! Strong is beautiful!!! Attack those weight ladies!!!
  • Agree. There is the option to bulk 4-6 weeks on and 2 weeks off for a few rounds... but the most common and accepted is bulking is a long process that takes months. However, the weight gain is inevitable but not permanent, as long as you commit back to a healthy cut. I am in the middle of 4-6 weeks on/2-4 weeks off formula…
  • I absolutely love including Les Mills classes into my routine, especially Body Attack!!! But I also love Body Pump and Body Combat. They are about to unleash GRIT, a new/crazy insane 30 minute Les Mills program that just plain scares and excites me at the same time. Feel free to add me!!!!
  • I have followed WW for 9 years and it has definitely changed my perspective on food... I see everything as points lol EVERYTHING!!! But I also lost weight 9 years ago, went up and down about 5-10 pounds over time, lost more weight from 3 years ago, and have now been on the last part of my weight loss journey losing the…
  • There have been a few of us trying to convey the "lets help and be supportive and not beat someone down" methodology and try to give helpful suggestions haha but it seems we have been outdone

  • Thanks for clearing that up, I'm not used to stones. I was thinking she was within a healthy weight range from her pictures which made me curious to ask.

  • I think when we all initially started dieting, especially at 19, we didn't know what metabolic damage and that eating at "too much of a calorie deficit" could be a bad thing. I had no clue what I was doing to my body when I would go a day or two without food. Thats why she has come to MFP and is trying to research and gain…

  • Completely 100% agree with mrsbigmack. Every nutritionists video and so forth that I have viewed also promotes re-feeds and how to prevent metabolic damage when eating at a deficit and dieting, it's not always "just keep lowering your daily calories." Just as an example and I know not everyone's the same but I took some…
  • 9 years ago I started out at 176. I immediately started incorporating lifting weights, heavy and light, to help increase my metabolism while losing weight (you continue to burn for 24-48 hours). I increased the amount of lifting and techniques as I continued. It wasn't until I hit at 159/155 that I became super serious…
  • Profile picture shows some of the progress. I go between heavy lifting less reps, light weight more reps, and althetic training.
  • Haha I can't even Begin to tell you how many times I have been hungry-angry! As soon as I have food, I'm in a better mood, andir was super bad for the first couple weeks... Just ask my fiancé lol
  • Always up for supporting other and getting more support!!!
  • Hey feel free to add me, I am not in college but I'm 28 and probably still act like I am lol.
