I tried eating back exercise calories and I seemed to be gaining, so that was why i asked about fitness plateau. That was why I was thinking I might not be burning as much as I thought, since when I eat more I gain, but not eating exercise cals back I am gaining to! Ugh why does this have to be so complicated???? Thanks…

thanks!! I will try eating more protein!

Just a thought, but what if you start your daily logging with whatever you eat at night, then track from evening snack through dinnerr the next day. Then if you notice you are eating too much at night, you can cut back the next day. Nothing saying you have to log breakfast to evening. Maybe if you psychologically know that…

Also i opened my food diary BUT please keep in mind that the past 2-3 days I have been eating more because of frustration from gaining when I should be losing and being hungry so please look back further than just the past 3 days. ALso I dont nec. eat the food at the time its posted, but due to convenience i dont change…

yes. religiously to the gram. And it was working for the first 2 weeks, i lost, then the past 5 weeks nothing. In fact i gained 3 lbs. Everything else is same. Intake/exercise amt.

I have tried everything! I have tried eating macros 40/30/30, paleo, "eating more to lose" low carb, and I have managed to gain 10 lbs in the past year doing all that. Now I am eating avg 1800 cals per day and not eating back ex. cals. I am 5'8 and 173. I started here at 162, so I am not happy about this. I have done diet…

Thanks!!! I just cant figure out why I am not losing, and I did try different activites but nothing. I am also lifting twice a week, but not losing inches either.

I can not imagine increasing muchmore on OHP. I struggle so much with it. TO day was better; squats 145 5x5 OHP 60 3x5, 2x4 deads 135 1x5 I found today that when doing deadlifts I really felt the pull and strain in my lower back. I focus on using my leg muscles, but I suspect that I may have real issues increasing from…

Thanks!! I have been running for years, and never have had so much trouble losing as I have the past year. I dont wanna trade in running for something else, so i guess there will be some speedwork in my future!

Welcome!!! I do these workouts at the gym. I didnt want to invest in all the equiptment for home, and I find I have an easier time getting motivated if I have to leave the house.

Good Morning! Felt good today with form/progress but I can tell that the bench is going to be realllyyy tough next time! squat 140lbs 5x5 bench 82.5 5x5 rows 75 5x5 I did the same weight as last time since I am not sure how great my form is. Actually I am going to do some research on rows to make sure my grip is where it…

HI there! I am the same height as you and almost same weight, about 171 right now and I have gained 15lbs since starting on MFP:noway: :noway: One thing for sure is that weighing food should make a big difference. I was shocked when I weighed my oatmeal to see that when I measure out 1/2 a cup, its actually more calories…

@ishtar: Nice job with squats! Squats 135 5x5 OHP 60 x1set, 55 4x5 Deads 130 1x5 Just not getting stronger with OHP....

Wow. Someone has major issues....I have never heard anything so ridiculous. You are probably doing the world a favor by not reproducing. Thanks!!

:laugh: :laugh:

Good Morning!! NSV today! SOmeone at the gym came up to me today and said "wow, you're strong. Good for you" while I was doing my squats!! ANd the funny thing is, I thought of all my MFPeeps who are sooo much stronger! But yay for the NSV. Squats: 130 5x5 Bench 80 5x5 ROws 75 (deloaded from last week to work on form) 5x5

Me too!!!

Great job ladies!!!!!!!!! I cant break the 60 lb mark. The closest I got was 65. Just have to keep chugging along!!! WTG!!

Tough day today: squats 125 5x5 OHP 60 5/4/3/4/3 boooo deads 120 OHP is just so hard for me to progress.....

I had the same problem...

Squats: 120 5x5 bench 80, failed. 4x5x3x4x3 This is second week in a row, so now I will go back down to 75 rows 80 5x5 but felt like form was off, so I may deload or stay here till my form is better!

I was wondering about this as well....what is everyone doing to hit there goals??? I have struggled for the last year to lose and keep gaining and losing the same weight. Actually I gradually gained 10 lbs since starting here almost 2 years ago. Now I am super vigilant about measuring/weighing foods and working out 6 days…

Its been awhile since I read NR but its much more involved and takes alot longer. SL is pretty simple and doesnt deviate from the workout routine. 3 moves one day, three moves another day, repeat with added weight. It doesnt take that long when you first start, so you may finish in 15-20 minutes. NR can take an hour....

1, How long did you plan? 12-13 mos 2. How much did you spend? (sorry if that's personal) Was this more/less than you planned? Approx. 10 grand 3. How many people were invited/ how many showed up? mabye 150 invites, 120 showed up 4. What did you give out for favors (if you had them)? We donated money to the American Cancer…

Morning!!! Today, I definitely struggled, as usual, with OHP. Why is it so hard?? ANyhow: squats: 115 5x5 OHP 55 5x5 dead: 115 1x5 @jackie/re: cardio/converse: I do SL just 2 days per week. One of those days, (the days I do OHP and deads) I usually wear my converse, do 10 min on elliptical, and then lift, then 10 min on…

I was wondering what that was as well!! I did SL on Tuesday and again tomorrow will go to the gym again. I only do it 2x per week. Sooo tuesday results squats 110 5x5 bench 75 it think, did not do 5x5, 5x5x4x4x3 I did deadlifts instead of row because I missed the deads last week, and I did 110 5x2 (2 sets of five)
