I am 5'1 128 lbs. I did a hydrostatic body fat test which estimated my daily calories should be 1346 based on my muscle-fat ratio. I am 32% bodyfat which is defined as obese in the bodyfat world. I can only lose weight if my net is 850 (no exercise) or net 1000 (on exercise days) which is torture for me. I know it…

I just ate my sweetened Greek yogurt as I saw this topic. I use sugar free Torani syrups.... like the kind used for coffee. I had a seriously bad eating out of the jar peanut butter addiction. So to replace the peanut butter, I do Greek yogurt + sugar free peanut butter syrup + PB2 powder. Yum!

I love it! Been going since June but really into it since November going 3-4 times a week and tracking my weight and PRs. I remember those beginning days...I was always SO sore I couldn't move days after. Take it easy on the weight at first and concentrate on form for the first few months. I also did a 60 day no cheat…

Squats, lunges, burpees, push ups, jump rope. Just to name a few! I totally understand the gym (with machines) thing. I am not into it either anymore (and my husband is a manager at one! ha) I do go to a Crossfit place but they are usually open to the outside and half the time we are set up outside, so I don't get the…

I've done exactly the same thing and upped my protein by adding protein powders. I've been doing this for nearly 2 months now, with working out 3-6 times a week (HIIT and strength) and have been losing fat and gaining strength. I drink a protein shake about 3 times a day and so they serve as my snacks around my 3 meals. I…

Sodium Is definitely found in processed foods...like foods found in boxes and cans. Try to shop the perimeter of the grocery store grabbing meats, veggies, tubers, fruits and you'll be good to go

OH and drink a ton of water...helps with the water weight retention from all of the sodium

Weigh yourself in first thing in the morning at the same time so you have a base that you are comparing...and you'll be at your lightest most likely. :) Don't worry about the big mac! Think of it this way, it should be fuel for a run tomorrow and get in a good run the following day too and watch your calories the next…

Open over here! :)

Have I tried it? I've been eating Paleo for a couple years now but with some cheating. Right now I've committed to going Paleo, no cheats, for 60 days. How did I feel? I feel absolutely amazing. The very first thing I noticed was my stomach shrank. For me, my body is happy on a Paleo lifestyle. I've tried many different…

You can get a hydrostatic bodyfat test that will weigh you in water and give you your actual lean body mass. For example, during my test I weighed 123.8 lbs but my lean body mass was only 87 lbs. So yes I am an horrible 30% :( So I am in the same dilemma, I want to lower bodyfat but simultaneously increase muscle. The…

I'd recommend getting a hydrostatic bodyfat test. Getting one for myself basically cracked the code for me! I got mine through through a mobile testing unit that sets up at various locations (like gym, medical facilities) and you can check their calendar and see if there is one in your area. http://www.bodyfattest.com/ I…

If you drink coffee, I put a huge scoop of whey protein in my empty cup and then pour in the hot black coffee. I end up drinking it fast because it is so yummy (over black coffee). Drinking it fast gives a boost of energy. That's been my go-to recently and honestly the highlight of my day. I know you said you didn't want…
