I switched to Romain and Spinach. It lasts a long time. With Romain, if you get the kind that still has some of the base of the plant attached it lasts a lot longer. wide mouth mason jars are great for single serving size.

Today is mothers day. Happy mothers day to all the moms. And since it is mothers day my wife and I went out to a late lunch with the kids. Mexican food, her choice. I ate like a beast. But it's okay because I planned to have a refeed day today. I'm also taking the day off from weight lifting. My exercise today has been…

I started out at 186 on 4/30 yesterday (5/10) I weighed 183 So 3 pounds down. At this rate I'll need to pick up the pace a little to hit 10 pounds by June 1st.

Today was chest and tricep day. Also I was wondering if I was losing strength since I'm eating such a high deficit. I'm not! I did my heavy 5x5 bench press routine today and it was no problem. I also did some more bench after than at a lighter weight. Then I did some tricep extensions. My tris were pretty sore already but…

Weight lifting is a good alternative :)

If you are happy with your food. Then work out more. If that doesn't work then your doing it wrong ;)

If it's possible, try weighing yourself in the morning before you eat or drink anything. Do it everyday for a week. It should give you a better reading. If you are not losing weight, then it's because you are not logging correctly, or you need to eat fewer calories. Nobody wants to hear it, but it's a fact.

I don't have a lot of weight to loose. But I've been netting 1290 calories for nearly 2 months now. It's not hard. 1200 without exercising would be impossible for me. I'd have to live on protein shakes, and I'd have malnutrition. I'd probably die. Haha. If you exercise a lot and net 1200 calories until you meet your weight…

Oh yeah beer and pizza are awesome for weight loss. As long as you burn 1200 calories before hand. :) Today is leg day. I hate leg day. So I wanted to get it done with. I loaded up all the weight I have on my bar bell and did 5x3 hack squats and dead lifts. I did some body weight lunges and squats too. And of course I did…

Think of sea water. No one is going to claim that it's not water. But if you drink it it'll make you sick and then crazy. Water is water. Other things are not water. You can drink them, but they're not water.

Today was back shoulder and bicep day. I tried lower weight with higher reps today. I get a better pump that way. I don't know if it's particularly beneficial or not, but it feels good. Pulls ups 5x5 (really making progress) Drag curls 10x15 Barbell rows 5x10 Front raises 5x10 Lateral raises 5x10 85 minutes on the…

Sorry bro. No.

Eat more. Exercise more. And DRINK MORE WATER. Could be your retaining water. Drinking more could help with this but hurt nothing at all. Win win

If you want, and since your limited to 60 minutes a session, you can try a full body workout two or three times a week and cardio once. Or try hiit. With hiit though you don't want to use heavy weights, it's dangerous lifting heavy against the clock. Or Since your planning on putting on muscle, you can just lift heavy 4…

I font count anything that's not water towards my water goal. You can drink what ever you'd like, but it it's not water it's not water.

Yep. Your net calorie goal is what you'll need to eat to reach your goal. I had the same question when I first started.

Love it. I have the same problem. Losing weight but my arms just keep getting bigger!

Today was chest and tricep day. So Dumbbell press Skull crushers Tricep push downs Flys Push ups until failure at the end And I threw in some hanging leg raises too just because Now I just need to ride the stationary bike for 60 minutes.

This is true. I can hardly eat candy anymore. Soda is impossible for me to drink. Disgusting horrible stuff, and I used to drink 8 cans of mt dew a day. The longer you don't eat it the easier it is and the more you'll realize that it's poison.

Today I ate a lot of chicken. Chicken with breakfast chicken for dinner. Lunch was fruit and protein with milk. Lots of snacks too though. Chocolate, gluten free cinnamon raisin bread, more milk and beer! Hooray for beer. But it's okay, my "weight lifting" today was actually more cardio, on top of my normal biking, then I…

Kliffoth. Thanks for the updates! I'm glad to hear that your doing well. Keep up the weight training. I have a completely different problem then you. Too much eating. But I'm making it work with cardio. Are you continuing you step workout along with the weight training? If so, you may want to slow down on the cardio. Your…

I was feeling strange today so I decided to try a fitness blender workout. It was 30 minutes of hiit alternating with ab exercises. I had to adapt it a little due to back and foot injuries, but it was pretty good. I followed up with some light hack and back squats and 60 minutes of very vigorous stationary bike. Man I can…

Today was back shoulders and biceps. Heavy rows Heavy shoulder press Curls Dead lift Romanian dead lift 60 minutes of cardio broken into two sessions.

I just discovered frozen fully cooked chicken breast strips. They're incredibly easy to cook, taste great and are healthy. So I've been eating two servings of those everyday just about, Breakfast is generally eggs bacon maybe chicken. Weekends tend to be pancakes waffles or cinnamon rolls with the eggs and bacon. Lunch is…

Keep training and you'll make gains. Sounds like you know what your body needs in terms of nutrition. Don't worry about the body building bros who say that you have to get weak to get thin. Eat a lot and burn it off with cardio, that way your not limiting your protein intake.

You can really only get an accurate weight once a day. And that's only if you do it first thing after waking up before you eat or drink anything, and in the nude. Otherwise it's just silly, your weighing the food and water your body is using for fuel and your weight is going to fluctuate. Worthless and pointless. It's like…

No. You'll need to burn 3000 calories more than you eat everyday for two weeks to lose 10 pounds. 10 pounds is 35,000 calories give or take a few.

I will begin my bulk :)

I pretty much took the last two days off. I just did cardio. Today I came back with avengence. 50 minutes of weight training including ab work. 65 minutes of vigorous cardio and 20 minutes of stretching. The weight training was Heavy bench press Heavy skull crushers Over head tricep press Flys And lastly Kettlebell press.…

Today's work out. Skull crushers Dumbbell press Bench press Flys Land mine 180 Hanging leg raise Seated leg raise Sit ups Pank Bridge 65 minutes of stationary bike Grand total of 105 minutes.
