What's the plan ?October 1st - November 30th ? I'm curious

You can gain weight eating large amounts of any macro ; carbs, fat and protein. People have become afraid of carbs not realizing you need them for energy which is important. I eat a high protein low fat and moderate carbs diet and it has produced great energy levels and nice timely results. You may feel good today after…

Aah got ya! I guess i can't do it from my phone then , have to do it from the desk top, thank you so much!

I'm sorry , I don't get it, how do I upload my pic tho?

Hey, thanks for your help! To answer your question tho, I was only concerned about the 'dirty' bulking because it seemed to be harder for me to stay on track while eating junky foods, and, I felt like crap compared to when I eat more healthy 'clean' foods. And No, on Monday i hadn't had my numbers yet so i was just off…

Oh and Good luck with the cut ^^ men can usually diet for two days and look amazing ! Lol

Thank you so much! I actually have a membership at BB.com and although I've learned a lot from reading, I regret asking anyone anything on that damn forum! That's exactly what they did was tear me down. I was getting picked at for asking questions. How can you learn if you don't ask?! Ugh I'm staying far away! I don't know…

I have tape measure so I'll get on top of measuring, right now I'm assuming I only need to gain about 4-5 lbs each month since the bulk is short, but I honestly don't care if I put on 15-20 lbs during the 3 months because I'm pretty good at losing , I just hope I put on enough muscle so that the cut comes out nicely !…

You are absolutely right and I think my body held on to most of the fat And lost muscle thus giving a flabby saggy look. I've added meat back and started weight lifting , I'm even considering a short bulk to help gain back lost muscle! Thanks for your help !

I've been doing tons of research on lifting bulking/cutting ..... I've learned so much and everything I thought...was pretty much wrong! I should have been lifting heavy to maintain the muscle I did have .... Now i have to gain it back

Hi !!! congrats on your new bundle of joy ! It's never too early to get your body in shape, unless you had major complications! Breastfeeding will help give you a head start in a big way!! Keep us posted , I recommend body builders.com they have AWESOME before and after pics of moms who transformed their bodies and look…

Congratulations!! On your loss , I mailed you for some info, you seem to have Had more xperience and success with the diet! Id love your insight!

Hi!! CONGRATS ON YOUR LOSS TOO!! Big accomplishment! I only have about 10 more lbs to get off, you said you don't recommend going crazy on food on up days but what if you're fasting on down days? I only have about 300 cals on down days and mostly liquids. The websites calculator says i should have 348 on down days and 1688…

MsD! (= Can you hit reply to the response above yours and send that link to her? And i am excited for us too (: ill do a little documentary and a slide of pictures asap!

Im actually considering it for a life style change, its that great. Most people have great success with this diet and lose more weight in 4 months than they had in one yr! So yea im curious to see the next six months will bring too! Even tho i only have about 10 lbs to go maybe 15 the next 4 months will just be maintaining

Wow!! Congratulations!!!!!! (= that's huge encouragement for me and a huge accomplishment for you! Amazing, yes can we please communicate further? I have a couple of questions myself (: so far so good i love it! I can actually probably do this for the rest of my life!

Hi Deborah! Im very late responding but i wasn't sure in the beginning how to check responses or how to respond lol nice to meet you and how can i find one of those 12 step programs? They sound very relieving!

Thanks for your advice! I have been on a much better diet , i started the alternate day diet where you fast one day and eat a regular set if calories the next day (about 2000) and i have already lost almost 3lbs! I also have alot more energy than before! I definitely would recommend this diet. Very easy. And less starving…

Thank you so much , i guess i just need to exercise more!

Yes i was feeling tired/deprived because i was limiting my calories to 900 and exercising ontop of that. Very depressed as well, i am excited to say that i have been on the alternate day diet for one ONE week and have already lost an additional 2 1/2 lbs !! I have much much more energy now and am actually losing faster…

@zytah Thanks a lot! Maybe its just certain days... im hoping its just bloating or lots of water retention ); I just don't see the progress wondering if i should be doing something different or why it looks different this time compared to last time

Hi, Im new to posting, not new to mfp! I've been using mfp for about 1 week and have lost 3 lbs. I definitely need new people to connect with and talk to about my weight loss goals. I need new/unbiased opinions about my goal. I have 9 months to get down to size and into shape....Going to Miami again in March!
