Cal needs are not so much based on height than weight and activity level. Bodyfat % is also a factor in energy needs. Do you happen to know your BF %? Your Bodyweight is lower so your cal needs are lower. I would suggest NOT eating @ a 20% cut. That is fairly aggressive and with your lower bodyweight - will actually be…

I haven't weighed since April. I use other gauges for where I am instead of my relationship with gravity. I stay on course much better. With that said, when I was in active weight loss mode (70lbs) I weighed weekly then moved to monthly. Weighing more often doesnt serve you well. I recommend focusing on being consistent…

Flax and Chia seeds will also provide fiber , omega 3s & some protein. Nuts & seeds.

YEP! vegetables & fruit. Berries have excellent fiber. Beans are also fiber-rich. truly - no need for supps. focus on eating more vegetables & fruit such as berries, apples, pears. Spinach has nice fiber and I eat it frequently. Just had an amazing BST sandwich. Bacon Spinach & Tomato. I always use baby spinach instead of…

Just peeked. You are 30. 211 is your start weight. I was at 236. Don't be so sure that 80 lbs is the # you seek to lose. Focus on losing FAT - maintaining/developing your lean body mass. When folks lose with WEIGHT as the main target, then the result can be as the the poster said above " I feel like I Have more flab now…

Nope! Down 70ish. I'm actually firmer - no loose skin. Course, I went slow and I strength trained. I didn't peek at your age, that is also a factor. I'm 51 - started losing @ 47. Been in maintenance / body recomp for a while. Eat WELL, move well - no rapid losses. Focus on HEALTH! Slow, sustainable lifestyle changes = WIN.

Nothing. I don't make a habit of eating food I don't like. I won't waste time, money, pleasure or cals on food that isn't FAB. with that said: there are foods that are powerhouses - such as leafy greens - that I creative in adding to my life because they are awesome for me. I massage my greens & it makes a huge difference…

MYSELF. I own it.

I do. I've consistently eaten between 1700-2200 the past 3 years. I lift heavy 3x week as my primary fitness. I'm continuing to work on body recomp.

These threads are always kinda sad for me .... The #s. And! It always shows that body composition is so different for everyone. Take 10 random 5'4 women @ "x" amount of pounds & they will look diff. I cannot imagine weighing 115. My body comp is such that I'd have to lose a limb. I have more than 115 lbs of fat free mass.…

You too? I'm a lover of undies, lotion and lip balm. Boy shorts are my FAVE.

Will your method work with cookies, ice cream and Ruffles potato chips? As in ... I like all of those things to be TOGETHER. Will any toxins be left behind via the gassing method? Will I need to don a Hefty Cinch Sak with Duct Tape? Will I need to add in an extra HIIT session of crocheting to speed up the detox?

My average TDEE is 2200. Range is 2000-2500 depending on activity. I use 2200 as an average. I typically eat total cals of 1900-2200 with a weekly 2500 cal day to keep my leptin & ME happy. My primary fitness is heavy lifting 3 x week with an outdoor walk 3 - 4 days per week dependent on weather & my mood. My current goals…

^^^^^ THIS A tablespoon of natural DELISH peanut butter is calorie dense with healthy fat - not much volume : ) Resistance Training with focus on body recomposition. I've had a pretty serious knee surgery - March 2011. Since then I've been way more active than I've ever been. So ... you can certainly do quite a LOT…

Yep!

It's not DEFEAT. I don't lunge. I've had major knee surgery and I squat, deadlift, blah blah. Lunges are problematic for me. Mentally & physically. So .. I don't lunge. Tons of alternatives.

I'd be LOSING about 200 lbs REAL QUICK. as in overnight. Life is too short. *kitten* are always gonna be - they don't change much. You can tell when someone loves you by the way they TREAT you. Lose the weight - kick his butt to the curb. It's HIM, not you.

Eat at TDEE. If you were overweight, then eat at a very slight deficit. You are NOT overweight, so should not be eating at a deficit. Concentrate on the FOOD vs. calories. Get a handle on what your TDEE is. I'm pretty sure it will be higher than 1200 cals. Lift HEAVY. Heavy is a relative term. Heavy means challenging for…

Nope! Seriously. Why? It's because I truly eat what I choose because I've built a way of eating for LIFE. it's not a diet or something I'm " doing" - it's simply my habits. No deprivation. It's a mindset and it's about not depriving yourself of enjoying your food. If you are feeling this way - do a gut check then a mindset…

That isn't exactly HUGE : ) It is just how your body is - it's all good. As someone pointed out above: If they are big due to excess fat, then they will decrease perhaps. If due to muscle - then NAH - prob not. I have 17" calves too. Muscle. They are basically the same size now than they were 70 pounds ago. They are in…
