Whats up! Do HIIT for sure if you are able! it is great to boost your metabolism and since it involves resistance training and cardio you get the best of both world! head up though its killer!

Hey awesome job getting started! lets see if we can get ya all set up. So really dont worry about the kinds of fats, yes some types are better than others but if you have too much any kind will be bad for you. So set your fat goal to 25%. Next protein, for optimal performance and results you want to get 1g per pound of…

Hey man, good job so far 2lbs a week is perfect! yes you can gain some muscle while losing weight but that will stop when you get close to your goal weight. you can absolutely maintain muscle while losing and the best way to do that is to lift weights, and get alot of protein (around 1g per lb of body weight) The best ways…

The increased protein from the whey will definitely help weight loss especially since most women dont eat very much protein. But overall it shouldnt be a diet, you can add shake or 2 to your day to increase your protein levels and itll help your results just make sure you are still within your calorie level

hey marie! awesome job getting started. So you most likely have gained alittle bit of fat BUT you have gained muscle as well, you are probably noticing those changed because no that you are developing some more muscle your body carries the weight better! which is awesome. keep doing the exercise especially now that you…

Hey tim! it really is nothing to be nervous about, once you shift into maintenance or even muscle gain you get used to your calorie level, ive been tracking for alittle over a year and I can usually go an entire day without tracking and still be within 100 calories of my goal. It should be a time of celebration that you…

Hey congrats on the 3lbs! good job getting the ball rolling. So its kinda hard to tell if you are losing too much mass or not because I dont know your stats and your current calorie and macro settings. feel free to message me though and I can help you get everything straight. for the most part though you are going to lose…

Hey man, awesome job on your first 10lbs, that is a huge milestone, also great job starting to make changes in your life your gonna love it. 10lbs in the first month is very common, but 1750 for a male is very low, typically a male should not go below 2000 calories unless there is an underlying problem. Try 2000 calories a…

the photo montage is fairly inaccurate but everyone holds their weight differently, also skinny fat isnt accounted for with calipers because the fat is further below your skin, only bod pods account for that. However like you said as long as you take the measurements multiple times and collect an average then you are going…

Hey Aj, that whole weekly total thing isnt really true, considering your body is constantly digesting the food you eat weekly totals dont mean much. Dont decrease your calories on the days before itll only hurt you in the long run. Enjoy yourself this and worst comes to worst youll gain 1-2lbs and itll just set you a week…

Hey, so cool you are taking probiotics! I love them they have helped my bathroom habits, my immune system (havent been sick in a year and a half) and my allergies even. I would really suggest sticking with the suggested dose but there really isnt any harm in taking alot of probiotics, I would say stick with the suggested…

Hey! i know its frustrating but most body fat % scales are off by 10-15% I would really suggest buying some cheap body fat calipers on amazon(mine were $8) and most phones have an app you can download that does all the calculations for you. there are usually accurate within 1-2% so I think youll love it! best of luck and…

Hey, awesome job on your weight loss so far that is fantastic, and way to get back into it hardcore, you are definitely going to kick some butt. Alright so calorie level, 1600 for most women is perfect! that is what usually works best and you should be able to lose a pound per week, however that is using the TDEE method so…

Hey Don! 70lbs is insane! you are kicking some butt man! I agree with the above, start adding 200 calories per day every month or so and youll adjust to it, you actually will most likely lose faster! Im glad you asked about this now too, so that you didnt damage your metabolism when you got closer to your goal. When you…

yeah about half of those ingredients were confirmed to not effect weight loss in any way about a month ago. The best you can do is consistently work out and hit your calories and macros. I know its not easy and not fun, but I promise it works, every single time. It may not be the quick way but it definitely works. Just do…

Hey! congrats on your progress so far! dont worry things will get easier soon the first month is always the hardest. So my suggestion would be to increased your calories to 1400 for 2 weeks and see how that goes. 1200 calories is almost always too low unless you have prior medical issues. the reason you are most likely not…

bulk! its always fun!

Great job on losing weight already! do not lower your calories 2000 is perfect. You lost 6 lbs in 11 days which is huge. It is working so dont change anything, besides the more you can eat while losing weight the better. Keep going strong and tracking and youll do amazingly. you got this

Hey man I used to be in the same situation im also 19 living at home. I lost about 25lbs a year ago and am loving it. The thing that got me through the easy unhealthy meals was mostly food prep. I cook all my lunches and dinner on one day every week that way I can just heat it up every day I need it. Also what helped me…

Collagen pills can help tremendously with loose skin, it really help your skin regain its elasticity. if it is a big problem for you I would suggest taking them, they also help alot with joint pain

depends I mean I am and work with a group of online coaches and we have helped over 1500 people lose weight. But we are free. I know there are alot of good coaches that do great work for money of the internet, but I also know there are way too many who overcharge just because of their name.

WOW nice job losing 40lbs! that is fantastic! I too have been into workoing out on and off and just got serious about it in january. My first suggestion would to honestly take a rest/deload week. If you have been working out every day since july your body is pretty beaten up by now. I typically try to take a deload week…

Hey Jason, Great job getting your calories under control, there could be alot going on but my first suggestion is you shouldnt be going under your calorie goal but trying to be as close as possible to your goal, that way you dont damage your metabolism, remember you ant to be able to eat the most possible while losing…

the best situation is a mix of 1 and 4. You dont want to cut more than 500 calories from your maintenance, the more food you can eat and still lose weight the better. You also want to try to workout 3-6 days per week from the beginning, the more muscle growth and the more you can train your metabolism the better your…

Congrats on losing a pound that is awesome! My general rule of thumb for counting is to keep your calories within 100 of your goal, so if you go above or below by 90 that is fine I would suggest trying to stay within that though

Hey Kristina! great job getting your workouts in after such a long day! thats a huge achievement by itself! When it comes to eating late at night it mostly depends on the person but the majority of people it is perfectly fine, also if you eat at 730 and go to sleep at 9 that is still plenty of time in between sleep and…

I have been doing flexible dieting for about 7-8 months now and I love it, its easy to stick to, and I have never seen better results. As long as you hit your calories and macros anything goes. Take a look at my diary if you want to see some examples. I really think youll like it. One of the biggest benefits in my mind is…

Hey Peter, Dialing down your protein AND carbs isnt very safe. You wont be able to do any sort of workout because the 2 muscle stimulating macros arent available, IF you do decide to continue keto I really would suggest you increase your protein for safetys sake. If you want to get better workouts in increase your carbs. I…

You dont want to go under your calorie goal, if you are already at a low calorie goal that is not going to help, you need to eat more to fuel your metabolism and your workouts. Once you increase your calories by 200 per day, after a week you will lose weight Im sure of it. The concept is called reverse dieting. check this…
