. Where is this? Hi guys- I've been working w a trainer for about a year. I've been lifting heavy for about the last 6 months. I've dropped 40 lbs and went from 43% to 18% body fat. (Pinch) I've eliminated my intake calorie deficit recently so I'm a little anxious about that. Trying out the "eat to perform" approach. So…

I never worked out as good at home as I did in the gym. One of the best places to look is Pinterest. It's unlimited ! Decide how many days a week you will lift. 3-4 is good. Choose a body part and look on Pinterest at routines you can do. Examples would be. Monday. Quads glutes. Tuesday. Shoulders/ Back. Wednesday. Cardio/…

Wacoal has a good one. Comes in small band large cup. I purchased at Dillard's and it's the only one I'll wear. Has adjustable straps and snap back like a regular bra. Not real cute but holds up to burpees !

Check out Eat to Perform. Lots of good info about feeding your athletic needs. MFP does not have good guidelines for daily calorie intake. Check your BMR and TDEE using online calculators and compare to what you are consuming. I increased my intake from 1200-1400 to 1600-2000 and have continued to lose weight by building…

I just figured out last night that I have been tracking meat wrong for a YEAR! If you are measuring it raw the calories per ounce are less but once the liquid is cooked out the calories per ounce is more. Use the USDA Boneless Skinless Breast Cooked at 47 per ounce. However, if you use the 4 oz option it is entered wrong…

It's been 13 months since I've been on a dedicated plan. Heavy lifting w a trainer 4+ days per week. I've dropped 40 lbs but still feel confused about diet. I've ranged from a strict 1100 to over 2000. Concentrating on fiber and protein. Seems like as long as I lift my body fat goes down but the scale is slow. I've been…

Whatever I feel like having and sending ALL the leftovers (except turkey and veggies) out the door.

Worth noting: MFP is not always correct. Here is what my breakdown yesterday looked like. 1,498 164carb55fat123pt 41fiber 55sugar However. If you add the macros that comes to 1643 calories not 1498. Big difference. So I track macros and I get my guidance from iifym.com

Lots of good advice. Don't lower your calories too low because that could cause a binge or reverse effect. I'm thinking 1350 is probably the minimum. Make sure you are getting 25 grams of fiber a day and the appropriate amount of fat and protein. (look at calculators on iifym.com for tips on that) Swimming can be done by…

One more thing. Have you heard of Darren Hardy? I LOVE his small easy to read book "The compound effect" Also, you can subscribe online to his free Darren Daily text of 2-3 minute motivational video/ audio. Every day is so good and it helps to start me off in a positive mind for the day. I subscribe to my cell so I can…

I've been struggling with this too. I have lost and gained and lost many times and have tried to make a permanent change. So I am concentrating on a few things differently this time. I often feel like I'm the only one who has to be so strict, count, log, weigh. The truth is I'm not- Many people are genetically lucky in the…

If you start your calorie intake so low then you are setting yourself up to fail. Take it from me, a lifetime yo-yo dieter. I started following the principals of iifym and feel so much better. http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ Go on this website and enter your age, height, weight. If you don't know your body fat…

I replied earlier but re-reading your post saw you wanted 350 calories. Also, I could eat pizza daily. Having run out of ingredients I had to revise my normal daily pizza and was happy to see it is much closer to your calorie limit. I did add spinach and onion that I forgot to track. The laughing cow gives it the creamy…

This was my lunch pizza for today. Try Josephs Pita or FlatOut Brand for high fiber low calorie and spray the bottom with spray oil so it will crisp when you bake it in the oven. Use low fat meats and measure your cheese in grams to be exact. I needed high protein so I added chicken too. Flatout - Multigrain, 1 flatbread…
