Yeah, I've started eating more almonds and peanut butter toasts in the evenings. Yum! I used to always struggle NOT to eat too much so I'm not sure why I can manage to have so many calories left, I didn't think it was possible for me.. I recently got off my bc pills though and I think that has given me a bit of a decrease…

Thank you! I started out just doing compound lifts (A. Squats, bench and rows. B. Deadlifts, lat pulldowns and overhead press), but I recently started Strong Curves and I really think it's already making a difference in especially my glutes and legs! Super excited to see how my body will look further into this program, I…

Yeah I'm sure! I'll enjoy this while I can and while I'm not used to it yet, haha.

5'6". Small change but I'm really happy with how I look! 6 months, 5,2kg (~11,5 lbs) difference. First pic is at 61,7 kg. Currently maintaining around 56,5 kg and lifting weights. :)

To celebrate 6 months since I started losing weight, here is a progress pic from me! Not really a big change since I didn't have that much to lose in the first place. Currently I'm not really looking to lose any more (though I don't mind if I lose another pound or two). I'd like to maintain around this weight and keep…

Great job on your journey! Ah yeah, mine is daily so I guess that's why mine is much more up and down :)

@belgarath64 Wow, it's so smooth! Updated version of mine:

That's good to hear! :) I had the same problems, I used to be constantly tired and had a hard time working out when I was on 1250-1350 calories. Currently I'm eating at least 1500 calories and it feels way better! Good luck to you :smiley:

This explains it. You should probably eat more, AFAIK you should never net below 1200 calories!

It's different, sometimes I'll go for a brisk walk, but sometimes I just like to walk slowly, enjoy the sun, listen to some nice music.. :relaxed:

Weighing every day is more accurate than once a week/once a month. That way, you can use all your daily weigh-ins and average them out. If you weigh in once a week, a day where you're a bit bloated/retaining a lot of water may make it look like you didn't lose anything the entire week (or even gained), when if you would…

You can't build muscle on a deficit, if you want to build muscles you need to eat at a surplus.

There is not really a "good amount" to maintain on, you have to just find what amount of calories you can eat without gaining or losing weight. Good luck!

Sweet! Sounds good, I'd love to know how 1800 works out for you! I'm currently upping my calories slowly (and I mean slowly, like 50 calories/week) just to prepare myself to eat a little more, and will eventually go into maintenance.. I just keep getting this "hmm, I might as well lose just a little more first, and then…

Unless you lie in a coma your entire week, you will burn more than your BMR.

I did have a feeling this would turn into another "No, I don't want the truth and I only want to answer the irrelevant questions of my choosing. Also, only tell me what I want to hear or you're being rude, goodbye."-thread. And look! :smiley:

5'6", current weight is 127 and my goal weight is 121-ish. :)

Height: 5'6" Age: 21 HW: 148lbs LW: 119lbs CW: 127lbs GW: 121lbs

Umm, isn't yo-yoing weight exactly what cutting and bulking is? :D I seirously doubt there's anything "killer" about yo-yoing weight.

Done something fairly similar, except I have not been logging my regular exercise calories (meaning I ate back calories for the workouts that I know are not what I would do on a normal week, if that makes sense), and now after weiging in each day for a month and logging food as accurately as I possibly can, I looked at my…

Like the sugar! :tongue:

I'm 5'6", 57.7kg and this past month I've been losing ~0.5kg/week at 1550 calories, which is oddly fast, and would put my TDEE at over 2000 calories.. I am a programming student, artist and gamer soooo.. Yes. Very senedary lifestyle. I lift 3x/week though, and I try to take at least like a 10min walk/take my bicycle to the…

I'm actually currently experimenting with this to find out what would be ideal for me. I used to eat 6 more or less equally small (calorie-wise) meals/snacks, but I never really felt satisfied, so lately I've tried mixing it up a bit. I've tried having a small breakfast, fairly big lunch, small snack, medium dinner, and…

100% this for me too. I didn't think twice (heck, I didn't think once) before putting something in my mouth, I just did it. I also could (and still can, if I really want to, which I don't) eat more and faster than ANYONE I knew. I was never overweight or particularly chubby either, so I started thinking of it as some kinda…

My cycle at least keeps my graph very interesting. Still waiting for that special day of the month where my scale will finally drop - hype! :joy: I think I'd be confused as heck if I just weighed in every now and then.. (Edited, uploaded an old graph, latest one now :D )

Great mentality! Keep it up and I am sure the weight will keep coming off :)

Save up calories for them and eat some!

Well, I don't see how maintaining the muscle she has is a bad idea, even if it's not much. I'd say keeping as much lbm as possible would be the way to go. Edit: Misread it, my bad! :) But yeah, you won't build muscle until you're eating at a surplus, but I'd still do squats!

CICO

I love data and statistics so I'm obsessed with weighing in daily lately. I see the trend in the long run, and I can also more accurately compare my calorie intake to my weight over a longer period to see how much I lost from eating how much, and in that sense I'm working on finding out my TDEE. :) I just need a few more…
