Back in my day we had to use something called a card catalog in the library to find the information we needed.

Assuming all your other macros stay the same, upping your protein will increase you total calories. You'd have to decrease your macros somewhere else to balance out the calorie intake.

Probably not. Hence the "opinion" part. He's entitled to it just like everyone else.

Oh yeah but I'll gain 7 lbs overnight then lose 6 of it the next day. My body fluctuates to the extreme, however, the trend of loss is pretty steady (when I am losing).

I've lost almost 50 lbs, started at 231 and am now hovering around 185, went from a size XXL shirt and 16 pants to a L shirt and 10 pants and I'm STILL not comfy in my skin, but it will happen. A size 8 is my goal also but I've got about 4 inches on you. You'll make it. Just keep chugging along. :wink: P.S. I don't see a…

Okay so here's my problem with this procedure. They say it takes up to 6 weeks to see results. Who's to say the person that got the procedure didn't do something different in those 6 weeks to lose those inches? How can the doctors be sure that it was the procedure that actually took off those inches rather than just change…

I'm a dealer LOL Couldn't eat any of it :disappointed:

Love yourself more than them.

Not enough info given How long have you been trying to lose? What are your stats? What are you settings set at?

I knew a girl once that did this with boned corsets. Seemed the only difference it made was to push her fat up into her boobs temporarily.

HOME!!!

Discipline=appetite suppressor. You don't need pills, you only need to WANT to lose the weight more than you want to overeat.

I'm surprised no one else has asked but....prom? How old are you?

OOOHHH I'm in after that comment

This post was so me! I did a body pump class 2 years ago and couldn't finish it. Fifty pounds lighter and 2 years worth of heavy lifting later, it still kicked my @$$ when I tried it again a couple months ago, however, this time I stuck with it. I can't do nearly as many lunges as the other people in class and I can't, for…

So what you're saying is, you take in an extra 80 ish calories around 4 pm just before dinner and you let that sabotage your whole day? I can't even fathom that. I mean, I sabotage my day sometimes but it's with chocolate and cake so it's a major sabotage. An extra 80 calories on top of your well planned day is nothing…

2-4 weeks usually but like jemhh said, it's different for everyone.

You!!! We wanna know your secret.

This is awesome. Congrats on the progress.

I started my journey in late Sept to somewhat close tot he holidays. I got a good month under my belt which helped when the holidays did come around. I was losing, which made me motivated to watch what I ate even more during the holidays.

Completely agree. The awkwardness lasted about a whole 5 minutes until I realized no one cared what I was doing there as long as I was being productive taking up the squat rack rather than wasting space when someone else could be using it. :wink:

This It's about balance along with gaining strength and keeping your muscle while losing fat. I was also a weakling when I started lifting. I had also only lost about 30 lbs at that point. It's been two years and I'm still gaining strength with SL 5X5. I have the app on my smartphone and follow it to a T 3 days a week. I…

Honestly, this is probably the truest comment made to this thread.

Only if it makes you go over your maintenance calories.

Ditto

I'm at a size 10 at 183 lbs.

It depends on how many meals you eat and what you total calories for the day is. Do you eat one meal a day or 6? What number does MFP give you? Do you exercise? Really you just need to stay within you allotted calories. There is no set number per meal. Are you hungrier during dinner or lunch? I find that I am more apt to…

I'm 33, have given birth 3 times, started at 231 lbs 2 years ago and am now hovering around 180 lbs. I am not where I want to be but I can't really see where I'll have loose skin when I do reach my goal.
