The recommended protein intake in MFP tend to be quite low. It is a good thing to be going over on your protein. I shoot for close to 1 gram of protein for each pound of lean body weight.

No...

My goal was more a BF% than a weight. My goal was 10%BF. When I was at 10%BF my weight was about 145. I am now about 9.5%BF and 150 pounds.

You should account for this by setting your activity level to the correct setting. Probably to"Active". If you break even for calories is around 1900 you should not be eating only 1200. If you set up MFP right to start with then the daily calorie goal that MFP gives you already has a calorie deficit built in to lose…

If you set up MFP right to start with then the daily calorie goal that MFP gives you already has a calorie deficit built in to lose weight. That said, you should eat close to the calorie goal MFP gives you each day including eating back most of your exercise calories. If you are too far under your daily calorie goal you…

I generally have my meals and exercise for the day planned in the morning or the night before. This way I know approximately what my exercise calorie burn will be and I plan my meals through the day to "pre-eat" enough calories so that I can just eat a sensible supper and maybe a snack. Going over on your protein and fiber…

As Larius said, we are our own worse critic. I was looking at your pictures. You may not be where you want to be but you look great! Don't be so hard on yourself.

I don't know if I have tips but I will say that at 47 I'm having the time of my life and it just keeps getting better. Attitude makes all the difference!

LOL Oh, so your the one...

I realize some people are resistant to do it but if you make your food log visible we could give more pertinent suggestions.

What's more important is how does it fit into your daily calorie goal.

Keep in mind that if you eat too few calories it could also cause you to plateau.

15.75BF% is quite low for a female. Near the bottom of the "athletic" range and approaching the "essential fat" territory which you would want to leave alone. Maybe it is time to do a victory dance and work on maintaining. I looked at you food/exercise log to see if it had a hint as to why you plateaued but you apparently…

Myztikal_, I find it very interesting that you are willing to critique other peoples food/exercise log yet you are not willing to make your log public.

It may help if we could see your food log. Can you make it public? Are you eating enough?

I know both of these are good options.

I like Men's Health. Men's Fitness of OK.

Nothing yet but I have plans...

Hear hear!

I do not follow the eating plan. I just log my food in MFP and stay near my daily goal. Are you eating close to your daily calorie goal? Like within about 100 calories? I was having trouble with P90X last year because I was not eating enough. Use a good HRM that tracks calorie burn and use that as a guide to how many…

We could probably give you better advice if your food log was visible. Did you tweaked the settings of MFP so that it would give you a 1200 daily calorie goal or did MFP give you 1200 calories with REAL, ACCURATE information about your weight loss goals and daily activity level. If you tweaked it, than start again and put…

No, I am not a personal trainer, nutritionist or healthcare professional. I am someone basing my fitness journey on hundreds, if not thousands of hours of my own research and experience. You can read the following and choose to accept it or ignore it. It will not affect my results either way. First of all, I do want to…

I never totaled how many calories I burned in a month. I just added up September and came up with 7372. I'm in!

This is the last I will post on this... A person should definitely look at P90X as a weight loss program. It is an excellent way to lose weight, gain muscle and increase their overall health. You are correct, there is the possibility that they will not lose weight but that is true of ANY program so I guess what you are…

I like this answer! My daughter asked and was allowed to date when she was 13 or 14 I don't really remember which.

You obviously have little clue what you are talking about. Don't give advice if you don't have the knowledge! P90X is an outstanding weight loss program and many people see a tremendous weight loss in the first 90 day circuit. Those that don't feel P90X has a cardio component either have not done P90X or are not pushing…
