I think you're doing awesome!!!

Sorry if I caused confusion!! My trainer person said ".8-1 g per kg" Kiki and Co. use 1 g/LB. I'd listed to Kiki and Co if you're confused. Whoever said "Too many cooks in the kitchen" is right!! I need to stop digging and just DO.

I appreciate your fingers-of-fury post! Very helpful. I'm definitely a knowledge seeker and so tend to get overloaded due to my efforts. I feel like I'm a little too obsessed with the whole weight-loss thing. Always thinking about it, planning, wondering. For the protein, I think I'll keep aiming higher than her suggestion…

LOL...I get it. I am tired of being LABELED obese. Ready to be whatever NUMBER it takes to get out of this awful bracket. But...of course, it's more than that. Keep on doing what feels right!

Today I sat down with a trainer at my gym who said she'd look at my journal and see if she could help me pinpoint trouble spots. She said it should be 1g protein per KG of body wt (rather than per LB)... which for me is only about 65ish g (about 15% in macro settings). Trainer says extra protein is not metabolized and…

These videos are so great and it's awesome to see you lovely ladies' faces! Thanks so much :flowerforyou:

Holy crap!!! That DOES take some cojones! What a jerk :(

I've got some resetting to do. Dang. I think I've just plain read TOO MANY different explanations and gotten lost in the woods, when it doesn't have to be that hard at all. Thanks again, Kiki. you must be a very patient person irl.

Cool site! Thanks Kiki!!! :drinker:

I like your logic. no more cranky pants

Well, I think this has been helpful. I've been being too piggy. Time to cut back again. Damn! I was enjoying the chocolate additions to my diet. :blushing: (a little too much I guess). I've never been good at moderation, as it were.

No I definitely don't mind! I've been frustrated so I need all the help I can get. I do eat lots of treats, esp lately! (i got cookies in the mail from my mom). Protein is a work in progress for me. I used to net 40 or less every day. I'm hitting 80-100 lately which is progress at least. I think my issue is that I've been…

Hmm yeah...I guess I've been trying to "net" above bmr (1550) everyday while also aiming to eat my TDEE-15% and getting confused. It is confusing on days where I aim to eat 1750-1800 but exercise off 400 at the gym and then feel like I should eat more to get my net up and it sounds like I've been eating too much, which…

Yes, lifting and cardio. Taking measurements too! No movement in 11 weeks. In fact, I tracked my weight every single day for the month of April looking for trends using https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/HackDiet and my weight trend is flat or gaining by the end of the month. I actually used fitness frog to calc TDEE and BMR…

I wonder if this is where I'm going wrong? 11 weeks of no weight loss for me (and a year or more before that where I wasn't actively "trying". BMR is 1550 and TDEE is 2100-2400 (depends on if I pick lightly active or moderately) so I've been aiming to "NET" 1750 most days to stay above that BMR. Am I doing it wrong?? I'm…

Thanks! I will certainly look into that one :)

bump! Gotta try these

I think he must've! His "gym-side manner" was no bueno. I think I'll keep lifting heavy stuff! It makes me feel strong and if I do hire a trainer I'll be sure to inform them how I want to do things. I feel so much better with an army of pi$$ed off women at my back! Strong ladies, all of you. :heart:

That's awesome!! Congrats :drinker:

I ended up making orange pulp muffins that are pretty tasty!

thanks all!

Well, I have a blender and a food processor too and I use those for smoothies. But orange juice can only have so much pulp before it's not orange juice anymore! I love the pulp though and am hoping for a recipe I can bake it into or something. ps - that oj was SO good this morning. It was very fresh and flavorful. I never…

Good luck!! There are so many supportive groups you can check out on here and nice people too!! Just take it a day at a time. Little changes add up!

HAHA! The ONLY test that I didn't get rated "Poor" in was strength. In that category I got "Excellent" hehe. He didn't seem too worried about me terrorizing him with my biceps though.:wink:

such good suggestions!!

Wordpainter! You are so right. I've seen that poster that says "Comparison is the thief of Joy" and I should heed it. My whole day was derailed by this event. It was like all of my fears about not being good enough got validated in the space of 10 minutes. I am feeling so much better now. I will keep on working towards my…

thanks everyone. It's nice to be able to write it out. Thank you for the pick me up!! I also had to cry it out to my bf and my sister. I guess I'm feeling better now. I'm amazed that at almost 30 I still let a total stranger get to me like that!

LOL Gemi!! I wish I had the stones!! I felt like a little kid getting scolded. I should be able to conjure up some decent comebacks by now!

Yanno, I don't think he was even trying to be outright insulting or anything, and I did ask him to take my measurements. But dang...I felt like he was sitting me down and explaining to me that I had only 4 months left to live and that I'd best get my affairs in order cause I'd really screwed it all up. So embarrassed about…

Good luck Coco Puff! Hopefully it goes smoothly for you.
