Is there a specific reason you're eating 1200? You might feel more energized eating more but just at a slower loss rate per week. Performance at work and school might pick up with that as well.

Pay attention to macros. That no food should be off limits for a lifetime and that flexible dieting works.

Ahhh the perks of living in a place where there is nothing good to eat. If I lived back down around Detroit it'd be tough. Probably chipotle would be the toughest thing to resist in all honesty.

I mean if you want to eat that then are able to keep yourself from eating within your calorie confines when you lost weight sure it could work. My mother, though I love her, is a huge fan of dieting fads, systems, and any other dieting gimmic. In high school before I gained any weight she bought a massive years worth of…

You can find them at grocery stores but I never see any good brands imo. Check out Amazon.com, GNC, or the Vitamin Shoppe. And it depends on the brand of protein and how you like it for what you put in. Generally people add water for the majority I see. You can mix it into baking or cooking too - usually deserts or…

:yum:

Beef, pork, chicken, fish, cottage cheese, dairy, eggs (whites specifically), Greek yogurt, and there's more obviously with varying amounts of the other macros. Yes, it's possible to get it in without a protein powder but you're eating a lot of freaking meat then lol. I take in 176g protein, 48g comes from a powder - the…

My protein is also very high while I try to lose to avoid losing muscle. I take in 176g protein. Some days I miss the mark *cough*yesterday*cough* but generally I hit my target. Every meal has some kind of protein. My snacks are protein rich. Chicken, eggs, fish, beef, pork. Canned tuna is big, cottage cheese, milk,…

Low carb means moderate protein and high fat. Keto is that to the extreme. Really, unless you have a medical condition it's unnecessary to eat such low carb as keto. You'll also need to supplement to make sure you're getting in fiber most likely. And keto also has to take in other nutrients to ensure they are metabolizing…

Calculate your macro (protein, fat, carb) goals on iifym.com. It helps a lot. I didn't realize how little protein I was getting in for my body weight and mfp under estimates. Also I support optimum nutrition as well. I use their gold standard whey and I've been happy with it as well as happy with the quality reviews I've…

I have PCOS and have had it for years. I follow iifym for my macros and I've seen great results whenever I've stuck to it. Right now I'm consuming 176g protein, 58g fat, and 126g carb. I've been seeing steady results and have been very happy. I've lowered my carbs down to 119g and upped fat into the 60s but I've been…

And thank you for the through explanation. That definitely solidifies that I want to be doing the 5x5 program since I want the strength more than aesthetics. I'll keep that in mind for a future plateau - thank you!

Thanks guys! I wasn't even using the app instead going off of the stronglifts site. Oh technology.

Just reiterating that this person knows her stuff!!!! Definitely listen to her.

Are you making sure you get in your water and watching your sodium? Retaining water can be one hell of an issue if you're watching the scale. I drink above the 8 cups since I weigh more and need more to hydrate my body. I'm usually about 10-12 cups. But make sure you're not taking in too much water otherwise you'll cause…

I'm a big time hiker especially with my dog. I'm also a huuuuge fan of kayaking. Actually I love anything involving water from fishing to swimming to kayaking. I also will be getting a mountain bike to hopefully start utilizing our great trails up here. Then I hope, when my weight is lower, to start rock climbing.

45 minutes one way in summer. A hour to an hour n a half come winter. I live in a rural area so it's not traffic just country roads haha.

I love this theory. :heart:

I was thinking this too... That he'd want Sansa... But then I felt that Baelish wouldn't be that simple so I'm at a loss on what he'd want. This show has scarred me. :lol:

Eh I wouldn't be worried about someone's opinion when they're a cashier... Clearly they're succeeding in life. :wink: Honestly, most people suck and they're not worth the time and effort to get to know or even date. Compliments are a dime a dozen but a true friendship is a treasure. And that's ultimately what a…

That's what I've been saying for the past few posts. :(

You can modify your macros in the goals panel and change your ratios. I had to really up my protein.

Yeah I completely had forgotten about that scene. Well... I had forgotten that she was nude in that scene, kinda hard to forget everything else about that scene haha. I hope that if they do have a scene with Yara that it does improve character development. Hit two birds with one stone - have a meaningful lesbian…

5'7" Doctors always said I'd be at least 5'10" with my dad being 6'4" and my mom being 5'10". Alas I am short for my family but not as short as my half sister who is the smallest at 5'4".

F-that! I live in the UP of Michigan and I'm dying when it hits the 80s! Then I'm out for walks at night when it cools off into the 40s-60s. Is advise the same but I assume it never gets much cooler. My sincerest condolences!

Ah! Thank you for the correction. Are you talking about the Khal trial scene in vaes dothrak? Because I totally forgot about that scene until you mentioned it.

Yeah I think they'd still bring in Jon and Dany same as they brought in Jamie and Cersei. And we all know G RR Martin will bring it in. And Dany did have sex with her handmaiden that has fallen out of the show. They kinda showed it when Dany was learning to "please" Khal Drogo via her handmaiden because they showed her…

I specifically wanted my Fitbit Blaze to help me monitor my sleep. I have insomnia that has came and gone for 10 years. Having the Fitbit so far has been really beneficial to helping me see my sleep patterns. And I look forward to another insomnia spell to see my changes (I've only had my blaze for a week). Right now I'm…

I also have struggled with this. I still see myself as the 140lb rugby player I was in high school but then when I see myself in the mirror I realize that's not a reality anymore. I still have all my size small to medium clothes and my little size 6 jeans haha. But to me that means I know what size I am suppose to be and…

This!
