I'm starting to see my upper abs pop, so I love flexing them. That and my quads, but I also like to practice pointed turnout, so that's my excuse. I haven't taken progress pics in a while. I'll try to post some soon.

I can't have the cookies in the house period. And that's fine. If I really, really, really want a cookie, I have to travel to get it. I rarely eat the cookie. I've never been overweight and that 's probably why, lol.

I prefer it over milk. I just buy the original or lite varieties (not the vanilla). It is lower calories than milk--even skim, and lasts longer in the fridge. Plus I like it, so...

Bump! Sounds great. I generally avoid flour, but it's a small amount. Wheat and I can barely tolerate each other. Might try an alternative flour. If I do, I'll try to remember to let everyone know how it turns out.

1. Strength: Complete a full dragon flag (or two by 2015). 2. Flexibility: Flat splits on both sides. Chest to floor in straddle. 3. Diet: Reduce drinking(<10/week). I'm a social drinker. Way too social lately. :drinker: Also, would like to start a slow bulk over winter. 4. Training: No specific aerial goals, but would…

Well, he is a 19 year old female, but I see what you are saying. Testing one's RMR is pretty dang simple. If the OP is truly only eating 1500 calories/day and running ~ 5-7 miles per day, and doesn't think her weight gain is purely water, I'd recommend she have her RMR tested. I get that we hear it all the time on this…

I've read a case study on a woman training for a marathon that actually put on weight while eating at a deficit. When tested, her RMR was depressed. Distance running is one of those things that causes high stress in our bodies. Couple that with a large calorie deficit, and the body reacts to that stress. Stress produces…

For the most part I abstain. I know that I can't really keep any kind of junk food in the house, especially not things like cookies or brownies. That doesn't mean I'll never have them, but I just can't have them around. I know people say this isn't sustainable, but I disagree. I've maintained a healthy weight pretty much…

Bump! Sounds great! I even have all the ingredients except the cauliflower from a cauliflower crust pizza I made the other day...

I've been doing a modified stronglifts (basically just compounds anymore) for almost a year. My weight hasn't changed, but my body sure has, and people definitely notice. I'm more compact, have visible abs, and very little cellulite any more. Still need a little work in the bum area (IMO), but I'm going to need a bulk for…

Bump! I'm super into these desserts! Egg whites would make them even lower calories. This will be the first yogurt based recipes ive tried. Looking forward to it!

Lifting heavy has gotten rid of 90% of my cellulite. There's still room for improvement in my butt, but I think I just don't have enough muscle there yet. Going for a bulk this winter and then a cut. BTW, I'm currently about 19% body fat.

Bump! I love PB2, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

Usually I stretch or do a different exercise. Pushups, maybe some planks, dragon flags if I'm resting between bench press...

For the lowest calorie option, go with hard liquor and club soda. The flavored vodkas are pretty much the same calories as plain vodka. For a spritzer (which I enjoy), use diet sprite or seven up instead of club soda. It'll be tastier.

Yeah I'm a size 2-4 in misses and a 7-9 in juniors. Sometimes I can fit in a juniors 5 if the cut is right.

I'm active here, but we're already friends. :wink: I do silks regularly, and sometimes perform, Lyra has been put aside for pole for now. I also have gotten into weight lifting in the last year. Needed something to work my legs, lol. I've gotten a lot more lean since I joined mfp. I'd like to be a bit leaner. I think a…

I drink it. I don't have any problems. I only drink one a day though. I also drink coffee.

Shoot, I'm 5'5" and 130 and a 38 year old female. I lose weight at 1700 calories. And to maintain, I need to average around 2200/day. So 1500 for a 5'11" male is way too low, IMO.

I'm 5'5" and 130 lbs and my TDEE is about 2200 calories/day. 1960 sounds perfectly reasonable for someone of your height/weight. In fact I'd lose at that amount. Try grossing 1700/day and see if you start dropping. That allows for a modest deficit, which is appropriate for someone with a small amount to lose. BTW, I've…

I walked so much in Italy I'm pretty sure it negated any extra calories. Careful with the goodies, watch portion sizes, and don't worry about it. I vacation a lot and it never seems to derail me. I've been maintaining about 130 lbs for a year with two Mexico trips, an Alaska trip, and lots of nights out at the bar.

Hmm, I bet you could use egg whites for even less calories. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I will definitely have to try it

I guess it just depends on your overall calorie requirements when it comes to grams. I could probably get away with a larger number of carbs (like your 250 grams), but not at my calorie needs if I also want to hit protein or fat, which I feel is more important. I was getting too much of my daily percentage from carbs. So…

No, but if you're changing your diet from a carb heavy one to one with more protein or fat (gotta fit those macros into the calories somehow), you probably will be affected. I went from eating probably 300 grams of carbs a day to about 100-150. Protein went from 40 ish grams to 100-110 grams. I did feel like sh$t for about…

I find gym yoga to be a nice balance. I don't think I could do yoga at an actual yoga studio...

My favorite ab workout is dragon flags. I'm only strong enough to do a reverse, but man they are great! Soon, the full dragon flag will be mine...

I prefer the flavors in Crystal light liquid water enhancers, but yeah, I drink them all the time. I'm still alive and kicking. And fit, haha.

OMG, I'm dying laughing. Now I need to read the rest of this thread.
