Look up reverse dieting. I did years of yoyo dieting and calorie restriction, and I screwed up my metabolism completely. Now, after reverse dieting up to my maintenance level, I've gone from eating 1,200 to 2,300 and I've lost 10 pounds.

You're right. I do intend to eat the same calories I'm eating now, so I won't cut out cardio completely, but my focus will be 80% on lifting. Usually the focus in a workout is 60% lifting and 40% cardio.

It seems like my best option is to workout before iftar. Maybe some lifting in the early morning.

I salute those guys.

I will ask again. Thanks!

I was thinking of doing low intensity cardio and light lifting. And then maybe a burst of intense cardio just before iftar.

Yeah, I'm thinking any high intensity cardio will be out of the question. I will definitely keep up lifting.

My goal at the moment is to retain muscle because my main mission is to burn fat so i already eat in a deficit. I'm thinking of doing low intensity cardio during the day and then a workout before I break my fast.

That's what I'm thinking.

Update your weight goals and MFP will reset your calories and probably give you a new daily goal. A great way to boost weight loss is to start lifting weights. If you have any dumbbells lying around then lift them 2-3 times a week, and make sure it's heavy enough so that you struggle around the 5th rep. You might not see a…

We have the same current weight and same goal weight. Feel free to add me.

Hell yeah. Feel free to add me.

I've been here a few times before. The last time I dropped from 195 to 184. That was last year. Now I'm at 209lbs and going steady. Feel free to add me.

I'm looking to lose about 60lbs. Feel free to add me.

Add me. I'll guide you, kiddo.

Me! Me! Pick me! ;)

Feel free to add me!

But all that's going to change soon, so put on some nice comfy running gear and run your butt off, my friend.

Feel free to add me!

No changes for me, surprisingly. I do have a more annoying sweet tooth but I have better workouts during my TOM so I have no regrets satisfying it with some dark chocolate. Mmmm, dark chocolate... *Homer drool*

1. Eat in a deficit, but eat enough! 2. Drink 2-3 litres of water daily. 3. Workouts should be short & intense. 4. Prepare and store your meals weekly. 5. Don't eat it until it's been logged! 6. Get minimum of 7 hours sleep. 7. Consume enough protein. 8. Lift heavy weights 2-3x weekly. 9. Throw away your scale. 10. Eat…

I got rid of my scale yesterday, because even though it wasn't showing any changes, I was noticing a lot of non-scale victories and better fitting with clothing that was once too tight. Trust me, the scale doesn't matter. Your main goal shouldn't be to lose weight, it should be to burn fat. Get a tape measure and judge by…

Hey, feel free to add me.

I'd smile, say good morning and probably run away giggling.

I know some people on here who eat ice cream every day. Yup, every single day. And they're still hitting their goals and making progress. I'm not a fan of deprivation. Sure, you can find a substitute, and it will curve your craving but it won't be long before you feel disheartened. This is a lifelong journey. My calorie…

Feel free to add me if you want your homepage full of cheesy fitness quotes and silly jokes.

I'm doing it for the cosplay. I want to be Bucky Barnes at Comic Con next year May!

The last pounds are the hardest to lose because your body has gotten used to a certain consistency. A few ideas may be to introduce a new workout, create a further deficit of 50 calories, make sure you're getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night, and remaining positive. Some people also take a break from their deficit and…
