Lucia - Thanks for the suggestions!! I will give this a try. Should I just not log exercise, even if I take slow walks, etc? Also, if I'm going to be somewhat sedentary, should I use a TDEE based on light activity rather than mod?

Yeah, I've definitely thought about this a bit too... Honestly though I am not good at getting more protein. When I get over 100g I am thrilled. Almost always though if I get enough protein I get far above my fat or carbs or calories or ALL of those things. I really don't like chicken breasts enough to eat them every day.…

Oh yes, sorry. I have been taking them. They are always the same for past 10 weeks. bust 43, natural waist 32-32.5, hips 42. I've measured thighs, calf, neck, forearm, bicep. No changes. Hard to know for sure with the arm, though. It lacks firmness so the tape measure sinks in a bit and I don't think I'm good at finding…

Well, at least you have company in the boat! Honestly, I feel good eating like I have been. Haven't exactly gained weight. Definitely not losing though. Or if so we're talking glacial speed, like .3lb/month or something. Wondering if I need to up the workout intensity or what. Blarg. I've been using the Hackers Diet…

One of them (I think the military) asked for waist at navel and the other asks for waist at natural waist. My natural waist is 32 and at the navel it's more like 34. I just plugged all my info into the Covert-Bailey formula and it said....14%. WOW. Now I KNOW that's way off. If I had 14% bf I could just sit back and love…

That's so awesome!!

this cracks me up. Who doesn't love a good poo? hehe

WEEK # 9 (This week) Down 2.4 lbs (but not really since 9 weeks ago I started at 170.6) Avg eaten: 1873 Avg burned: 202 Avg Net: 1671 Start wt: 172.4 End wt: 170.0 Net above BMR: 206 **** WEEK # 8 (LAST WEEK) was UP 1.2 lbs Start wt: 171.2 Start BMR = 1471 Daily avg eaten= 1854 Daily avg burned = 244 Daily net = 1609 end…

Dang girl! Nice job!

Those studies are all acute. What the OP is talking about is chronic low calorie eating style. Fasting one out of every 22 days, or eating less for 3 days is not chronic. What many people, myself included, have done is eat <BMR for YEARS. Initially, there is a successful drop in weight. I went from 200 down to 155 at a…

I've been sick all week with a cold. Worked out 2x this week (spinning and a weight day) and now I'm sicker than last weekend and have a sinus infection. I probably should have just stayed out of the gym for a week. So stubborn. Ahh...well. I agree with previous posters: If you don't have the energy or strength SLEEP IT…

Yeah...just not sure :( I was netting about 50 over BMR for 2 or 3 weeks and didn't lose any lbs at that level either. I dunno...

MATH = Mental Abuse to Humans

Definitely frustrated...it's been TWO MONTHS and I haven't lost an ounce in that time :cry: WEEK # 8 since upping calories UP 1.2 lbs :grumble: Start wt: 171.2 Start BMR = 1471 Daily avg eaten= 1854 Daily avg burned = 244 Daily net = 1609 end weight 172.4 End BMR = 1476 Net above BMR = 133 *** LAST WEEK Weekly update…

Good luck Raynn! I think I'll try the micro-logging for a week too. I am having a similar experience to what you're having.

No progress this week :/ *April Wk 1* Wt: 170.8 waist: 32 hips: 42 bust: 42 *April Wk 2* Wt: 170.8 waist: 32 hips: 42 bust: 42 Workouts committed to Wk 2: 3 days of heavy lifting at the gym and I'm going to throw in some mat-work to boot. Plank Dips (3 sets of 20) Bird-dog (3 sets of 20) Boat pose (hold for 15 secs, 3 sets)

Weekly update: Start 171.8 lbs BMR: 1473 Avg food: 1846 Avg exercise: 207 Avg Net: 1639 Net over BMR: 168 End: 171.2 lbs "loss" = .6 Not sure what to make of it. Is it a real loss for the week? Yesterday morning the scale said 172.4 Still lifting weights. No spinning. Measurements same.

I'm curious too! On most days I can just barely reach 100 g and my goal has me at 136. I know lots of people like Greek yogurt for protein (I'm lactose intolerant). Nuts, chicken, peanut butter...that's all I know. I've been seriously contemplating getting some protein powder.

Great illustration. Thanks for posting those numbers.

I like that April Calender you posted, Ghouly. Burpees = evil (I think I hate Mountain Climbers even more) on second thought, maybe I just hate hard exercise?! LOL :drinker:

I'm a little over 5'2'' and at 155 lbs I felt AMAZING. And I think I looked good. I was still 20+ lbs into the Overweight category for BMI. Screw that thing!! LOL It's probably best to focus on achieving a more healthy body fat percentage, whatever that may be for you. I don't think I'll ever get to 130-135 lbs recommended…

*April Wk 1* Wt: 170.8 waist: 32 hips: 42 bust: 42 Workouts committed to Wk 1: 3 days of heavy lifting at the gym and I'm going to throw in some mat-work to boot. Plank Dips (3 sets of 20) Bird-dog (3 sets of 20) Boat pose (hold for 15 secs, 3 sets) I'm really awful at boat pose, so it will be a good thing for me to work…

Dang girl! With those measurements, you're already a pin-up!

Should we provide our weigh-in and/or measurement info to the group?? Could be in simple format like: *April Wk 1* Wt: waist: hips: bust: Workouts committed to Wk 1: or whatever... so we can track inches lost??

Good questions! I think you summed up all the ones I have and I will eagerly await the answers!

bump! yum

I'm game!! I'd be definitely up for one of the measurement/weight-ins combined with the blogilates print-outs (or something comparable?) Emily

Up 1.2 lbs again this week :( Still lifting weights but I'm getting discouraged by the lack of change of scale. Tape measure says waist is -1", but the first time I measured wasn't in the morning either (but this time was) so it might not be "real". Mifflin BMR = 1463 Start weight last week = 170.6 Daily goals calories =…

Thanks for the weight lifting tips, guys! I am really hoping to get stronger :) BF is learning right alongside me. Bonding time.

So you don't do cardio on weight days?
