I don't mind weight going up as long as it isn't fat but there is no way that is muscle gain in such a short time. And my clothes are tight! I am not giving up this time. It's frustrating though. I don't want to starve myself to lose weight or get smaller. I am always hungry, irritable, and thinking of food. Never in a…

Runz, woohoo! I came on here for yall to talk me down! I am panicking. My skirts and shirts are tight so I decided I would use today as my weighing in once a month. I have GAINED 3.5 FREAKIN POUNDS! What's the problem? I have increased calories based on scooby calculator and increased protein. Is it true that my body can't…

I have 3 different flavors in my fridge. One doesn't have sugar and the other 2 has sucralose. 71 g protein. Not good with the protein today. I had to force myself to eat . I've been so busy today that eating was not a priority. Maybe before bed I an eat a yogurt with granola to help boost the protein and keep me within…

Last night I had 4 oz sliced turkey and 2 slices of cheese = 25 g protein. Do you have a Kroger? I buy Carbmaster yogurt there. 8-9 g protein, 4 g carbs, and 60 calories and I added a little granola for some crunch. tuna, cottage cheese, or the protein bar (but it's too high in calories. Generally, I steer clear of those.)

ah Ok. I wasn't reading it that way. :laugh: Thanks a bunch. Sam, I am TRYING! Thanks a bunch. It is hard but I am getting accustomed to reaching for protein when I want to snack.

Pmag, I felt weird doing the kettlebell swings too until I saw a few guys do them too. So I don't care anymore. I watched a video to make sure I did them correctly . "pop" those hips out. Anyone familiar with the Scooby calculator? Weightlifting considered light effort or medium effort? That might help me figure out my…

124 g protein and 1347 cals. Didn't go over carbs or fat either :bigsmile: :drinker:

runz, that could be muscle retaining water. When is your rest week? Do measurements after your rest week. I did step ups again today AND some other exercise I despised previously. (bending over with weights while lifting one leg parallel to the floor. can't remember the name) I had hoped closing out my diary would keep me…

Beeps, usually I get on the elliptical. Today I used the stationary bike. I almost went 2 miles in 10 minutes. I guess that's good....??? I was spinnin' like the devil was after me every 1.5 minutes

Rz, Your heels come up when squatting? I've never heard of that. Yes practice practice practice. Press down those heels and push back up with them. I like box squats. Start out with a bench and then when you have good form begin lowering the squat. I use steps at the gym for that. Lifting day. I will try to do some HIIT…

Eat a Reece cup.:flowerforyou: and be done with it.

I gave myself a big FAT ZERO. :laugh: I slept in. I did not lift. Well, and I did NOT track regularly, and I KNOW it wasn't at a deficit. And I did weigh today. I am not happy. So what. Not gonna binge eat. Not gonna give up lifting. Not gonna lower my calories. Not gonna go cardio crazy.

You look awesome! And I am so glad I am coming to the same conclusion If I can only get some of this fat off of me. I think I'll jump on the scales to see what they say. It has been a couple weeks or longer. I don't care what they say. Yes, I might be a little disappointed . But you know what? I see muscle definition in my…

Well, shoot. didn't hit my protein goal yet. I logged my food and didn't finish it. Back down to 70 g. I definitely want to hit my goal. Hopefully, I'll find something to eat protein wise in a few. So , Sam message me with your age. I am curious. I still say 18-20. Like I said, I won't guess your weight in that bikini now…

75 g of protein today. Hit my goal . Not a good day for me. I am in a funk. Started out eating high carbs this am and didn't workout until I realized I was self sabotaging. SO I went to the gym at 4:30! I had to work in areas that were super busy, but I feel like I got in a decent workout on shoulders and back. No workout…

I am 5'5 and don't have a clue what is my weight loss calorie sweet spot . I 've been here for over 2 years and have been yo yo ing. I know cardio and 1000 cals or less will make the scales go down. The weight always comes back on. I've had 92 g protein today :drinker: my goal is 75 maybe I need to push it up to 90 g.…

OH yall want to know something totally out of character for me? You know I loathe step ups, right? I did them on my own my accord. :bigsmile: Thanks, Cowgirl. I had a "chat" on fb with her (our only means of contact). She doesn't want to come home. She has it in her mind that I control her and if she came home I would do…

My protein is 65 at the moment. Supper time will bump it to 87 and I'll still have plenty of room for a snack. I am wanting to step on the scales but it will just give me an excuse to binge. I am feeling down and out . My oldest daughter is still giving me grief. Our family is broken and the family can't recover. She…

I' HOOOOME! and so don't want to do anything even though that's what happened last week. I need a vacation from my vacation. the staying up late, sleeping in, eating junk is catching up with me. Cowgirl you can give me a big FAT ZERO for last week. :bigsmile:

hi all! The beach is awesome. The diet not so much. AND TOM arrived today. great.:grumble: Thanks ladies. Yeah I am pretty proud of the 10 years. My last radiation treatment was August 20 so it really won't be 10 years until then . Did I mention I was pregnant with my baby when I was dx and went through radiation. :D She…

rocky, I have a medical problem that keeps me from a lot of protein intake. I no longer produce saliva due to 70 radiation treatments 10 years ago which burned the bad stuff and fried the good ole saliva glands. Cancer free now for 10 years .:bigsmile: :drinker: I'll have a CT scan next month. Anyway, digestion begins in…

I did workout this evening! Son and I went for a 75 minute workout on back and shoulders. I doubt if I'll be able to eat or brush my teeth tomorrow. ETA: 98 g protein and 1413 calories. I had to wrap the turkey in cheese to make it more palatable. I am burnt out on turkey so I had to "eat" that 100 calories of cheese.

Welcome, Ari. You should friend SueLegal. She is 60 and finished NROL4W. She's my hero. after 2 years, I am finally learning that I do NOT care how much I weigh as long as I am smaller and fitter. I recently put away my scales. 1252 cals and 82 g protein. that's with a protein shake later this evening. I can't stomach more…

Maybe I am too BUT if someone explains it in simple terms I understand better. You didn't like the "push the kid" idea? I like cottage cheese on my salads. It is rather bland by itself. only 81 G protein planned today equals to less than 1000 cals. Plenty of room for dessert this evening .:embarassed:

Jo, I am a high carb eater. So , I have been adding protein where I wasn't getting it. I really don't prefer eggs but I've been eating them a couple times a week. My protein this am was close to 30!!! Before my self challenge, I would eat zero protein and full carbs. I don't like cooked fruit or processed fruit . It sounds…

Thank you , Sam. Having your approval means a lot. :flowerforyou: OH, and YES! I wish I didn't have the calorie tracking too. I noticed I had about 100 cals tonight so I ate ice cream!!! UGH . but you know, maybe it will keep me from binging doing it this way. Plus, keeping my carbs down is keeping me from eating all the…

117 g protein and 1443 calories . I can't imagine eating much more tonight! I am stuffed. per scooby calculator BMR is around 1300 and TDE is 1700-1900, I can't quite remember the #'s. This is what I've had today: yogurt 2 c corn pops 1 c milk canned tuna protein shake 7 oz turkey 3/4 peas and carrots 1/2 c dumplings' 1/2…

Marie, I think all of us (who have been on here a while) established that fact. LOL I lift 4 days a week M, T, TH, F so I'm always hungry. :laugh: ANd you are deadlifting 105!!! That's great. I didn't wake up hungry but I am starvin' Marvin now.

Ha! Beeps, how many days does that make me? :wink: I like your challenge with my challenge, Gives me something to work on. My shoulder is killing me today. It's raining and the shoulder workout yesterday isn't helping the matter. JO, yeah, I will check out your diary. thanks. Didn't wake up hungry so protein might be a…

OK I am finished eating for the night! :laugh: 106 g protein and 1363 calories. I had a cookie. It wasn't as good as it could have been . but the waffle and pb with coffee was awesome. That's what I hate about logging cals. I saw I had enough cals and carbs so I ate a cookie. take a peek at today's diary and tell me what…
