please watch this if you can tones of info veggies or no veggies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAvW6xBZjSk&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLYdkxp9hJ4i58l583rJV7r2LMAiYFJ9gm

on a more serious note.... you can still hit add friend even if you are way younger than me... i promise i will try my best to stick together and motivate you... ;P

YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO go from one end of the spectrum to the other... eating pizza, cakes etc. then all the way to eating veggiess etc. isnt going to work... start with eating the same foods you are eating IN MODERATION and progress from there depending on your results with the aim to eat wholefoods and veggies for the most…

before you do please hit add friend... ;P

DAMN IM TOO OLD FOR THIS thread...

Lately I have been spotting for an entire month and my sweat smells sour. I am certainly obese. I am about 5'7" 205lbs. My problem is my stomach is stretched. I am trying my best but web sites say I should be eating 1200-1300 calories a day. That is ludicrous. I will give you an example of what I eat in hopes you can tell…

1. what is your stats... bodyfat percentage, age, weight, exercise program, etc. 2. just looking at your daily's it seems you are not eating enough protein and vegetables, you can certainly lay off a little of your simple sugar sources... and replace with complex low GI carb sources like sweet potato, brown rice and maybe…

you can either get your weekly calorie deficit and adjust weekly if that suits you, some people including myself i find it easier to adhere to my daily coz if im going to worry about hitting an extra say 350 calories come friday and then dont eat 350 tuesday so i can have an extra calories for the weekend is just too much…

I've eaten clean in the past, was able to lose about 30 lbs from it to single digit bodyfat, one problem though, I cant sustain it because of the food restrictions i adhere to, CLEAN EATING TO ME THEN was eating the same food sources as possible because i dont want to put in anything that doesnt say lean or wholefoods. I…

forgot to mention i measure first thing in the morning after doing my business in the toilet before consuming anything, and i do the same everyday.

if i may suggest, to get an accurate weight measurement, weigh yourself EVERYDAY AND RECORD IT.... after 7 days add all up and divide by 7, you should be able to get an AVERAGE weight for that week... REPEAT.... after a month you should be able to tell how much weight you gain/loss for that month you have averaged. Getting…

nothing beats your better and honest judgement of yourself... LOOK IN THE MIRROR and be honest with yourself... do you see your ribcage, do you see love handles, etc. these are just simple ways for you to judge your 'LEANNESS'. Dont get caught up with the 'number' game, at the end of the day different people will have…

IF YOU HAVE TIME PLEASE watch this video, it is actually a six part series start with these one first and so on, my personal favorite is part 6... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAvW6xBZjSk&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLYdkxp9hJ4i58l583rJV7r2LMAiYFJ9gm

for a lack of a better term 'starving' perse or hunger is the time when your body starts to utilise other sources for enerygy to sustain life or activity hence the burning of fat in your fat stores.... So essentially a little hunger here and there is a good sign that your body is starting to utilise fat as your energy…

totally bogus.... starvation mode starts when your body senses YOU ARE IN A CALORIE DEFICIT... hunger is your body's defense mechanism that 'homoestatis' = the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes is not correct.

here we go again.... the endless debate between 'clean eating' and eating crap but in moderation. LOVE it, while i know many people will stand for what they believe in ONE THING IS FOR SURE THOUGH..... all diet protocols require you to be on a deficit to loose and reach the desired goal, both protocols will take you to…

my weight fluctuates bet. 2 to 5 lbs. not including after a re feed. I do weigh myself everyday and then average it after every two weeks to see if my adjustment for that fortnight did some fat burning or not. I agree with using the reports on here to see your weight graph, it will show you how your weight gets affected…

Just checked your diar... first how is it that you are only set to hit 64 grams of protein a day, you were able to hit 117 grams of protein that day which in my opinion is still a good number for protein intake just assuming that your lean muscle mass is 117 lbs as well, i dont know your stats but it seems to me that those…

just make sure you have enough energy to do the last 2 reps of the 5th set either with a spotter or just by yourself a rep shy to failure if no spotter. Usually i would max my effort to the point that the last rep is just half a rep or failure, that way you know you've maxed out. Not sure how many weeks you plan to do 5x5…

5 lbs gain in just 3 weeks time is great, dont change anything now, keep doing what your doing, you should only lean gain about 4-5 lbs a month anyways and i know you know that already...

hello mrsbiggles, im from sydney, welcome back to MFP.... if you need any help just give us a yell... ;P

what the gentleman said..... but at the end of the day, its based on what is optimal for you, time wise and strength wise.

1. what's your calorie intake now 2. how much carbs are you consuming per day 3. how much workout resistance are you doing, days per week, duration, intensity, rest periods, sets, reps etc. 4. how much cardio are you doing, intensity, duration, etc. 5. how much sleep are you getting each night IF ALL THIS THINGS ARE…

get your calorie intake.... this is just one of many ways you can compute your daily intake. 1. 164.5 x 14 calories = 2303 calories per day 45 percent protein = 1036 calories or 259 grams coming from lean protein sources 35 percent carbs = 806 calories or 202 grams coming from complex/ Low GI carb sources 20 percent fats =…

running on the treadmill put too much pressure on your knee ligaments, i too used to run on the treadmill but found that same pain, now i stay away from it as much as i can. Use the rower, cycle, elliptical as a substitute not much strain on your knees, you might want to check out glucosamine supplement as well for joint…

DAVID, focus more on gaining strength progressively on your lifts each week and adjust calories accordingly. If you can only consume 2100 calories for now that is because your metabolic capacity is still starting to rev up as well. when internet site computes for your TDEE or calorie intake it doesnt account for your…

It really depends on the person.... If you are someone who doesnt have the patience and you have 50lbs or more to loose i guess the 'aggressive' approach will work for you. Bear in mind that after you loose the lbs. you should go back in focusing more on a sustainable lifestyle. I always believe that IF YOU CAN'T SEE…

cottage cheese, cut up apple, grapes, sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg, teaspoon of flaxseed oi or Udo's oil and youre good to go.

RAIN CHECK on that dropping 30grams of carbs, i might hold on to that carbs for now and put the hours in on this running thing, eitherways i see it as a win win since the end goal is to dial down body fat to sexypants.... lol

just checked the Hal Higdon novice 1 training, it got me scared... ;[
