^^ This. I am actually seeing more changes more quickly eating more and lifting heavy weights. Just took a comparison photo at the gym, and compared it to one from right after thanksgiving, i can definately see a difference. Then it's even more more noticiable when i look at pictures from 1-2 years ago!

log it and eat it, i have my 9 dark chocolate hershey kisses every work day and i have leftover peanut butter balls and chocolate mint fudge in my freezer from christmas

^^ This, to get it in and out of sleep mode you just tap it a couple times until it flashes two lights and vibrates, i believe it is the 2nd and 4th, which means its in sleep mode, and to get it out of sleep mode you tap it again until it vibrates and flashes all 5 lights.

count calories on MFP, it will synch with Fitbit. I have found that my sleep will not get logged until i take it out of sleep mode.

I have my calorie goal set at my maintence, and im trying to hit the 40,30,30 (Carb, Protein and Fat) goals. I just started Stage 1 about a week and a half ago, and through trail and error over the past 6-7 months i found lifting works better for me when im not at a really big decifit, which is why my calorie goal is set…

I just finished up workouts 1 & 2 both A&B and i can already see and feel a difference

right now i'm doing Combat and the CXWORXs, but i love body pump as well, it just isn't fitting in with NROLFW right now :(

first of all, starvation mode is a myth.... secondly, we won't be able to give you a yes/no on the calorie count without some stats: Height, Weight, ect.

mine actually surprises me sometimes, i know some of the time i am actually awake and it seems pretty accurate for the restless piece at least

i got the fitbit flex for christmas and i love it, the way it interacts with MFP is really useful.... i have a regular pedometer but i never use it and hated wearing it, given it counted EVERY bump in the streets that i hit while driving and found it to not be accurate. The Fitbit is good because of the interaction with…

i HATE the treadmill as well, so for cardio i opt to take the les mills classes that my gym offers, if you go regularly enough the instructor will know you and you'll feel at least a little more accountable for going given you know the instructor will notice if you're not there.

I agree, the Tazo Green Tea from Starbucks is my favorite, when i was drinking it regularly i got to the point where i didn't need any honey in it... i was able to work my way down to just milk in my coffee, it wasn't easy and some mornings i still want to dump sugar in it, but it just isn't worth the extra calories/carbs

i'm following the NROLFW, and im trying to get my carbs down to 40% with Protein and Fat both at 30%

i have the same problem, but i did notice last night that i had less issues than i did in the very first workout

That was actually one of the things that i looked for when i switched gyms, my old gym had a really tiny free weights section, which i was outgrowing and it was incredibly hard to get equipment and i had to search FOREVER to find 2 2.5lb plates...my new gym is almost exclusively dedicated to weights, they do have a small…

I started at 55lbs, but that was because i had just stopped stronglifts 5x5, when i first started stronglifts 5x5 i was just using the 45lb bar and worked up from there. the one thing that i did pick up from stronglifts is even just adding 5lbs/workout can make a huge difference over time versus trying to add more than you…

that's exaclty where i started and the reason i switched

I actually started out with Stronglifts 5x5 then just recently switched to NROLFW to change things up, NROLFW is only for women but they have other programs too.

I started out with Stronglifts and found that i was getting bored doing the same exercises, so i switched to NROLFW. I dont follow the diet plan, some of the recipies look good but i right now i'm focusing on getting stronger and getting my macros right. I dont think the food plan is a necessity, but more a suggestion.

just got mine as well, https://www.fitbit.com/user/32GGG9

just got mine too :smile: https://www.fitbit.com/user/32GGG9

I LOVE CHIPOTLE!!! but now it's more of a treat for me :smile:

completely agree, one bad meal used to throw off entire days/weeks for me.... i'm so glad that this time i said F**K IT but i'm right back to tracking, the mental thing is so much harder to overcome than the eating & tracking :smile:

i was supposed to lift today but my shoulder has been acting up, so another rest day for me, hopefully ill be able to lift tomorrow

LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

i've been on and off weight watchers for YEARS! and i've always gained the weight back. I lost the weight last year using MFP, then gained it back and started going to WW meetings and lost the first 10lbs and will be continuing with MFP

absolutely 1000% correct, it's as simple as calories in vs calories out not some convoluted points system

completely agree :smile:

your body weight is going to fluctuate every day, depending on what you ate, amount of water drank, TOM, sodium levels and other such factors.... i'd recommend once a week, if that

I just wanted to follow up, i got weighted in last night and after eating between that calorie range depending on days i work out, i lost .4lbs, which is right where my losses should be for the week vs when i was on Weight Watchers and losing 1-3lbs/week.
