OP, a half a pound is nothing to worry about. I did notice that you have ate a lot of sodium on some days so my bet is that it is water weight. I once fluctuated over 4 lbs in a few days from water weight and it took a few days to go back to normal. You really do need to weigh everything. Get a new scale, you can get one…

OP, diets that cut out all of one thing (no carb/no fat) are not going. Yes they work temporarily because of the calorie deficit. But wants to end your diet and you resume eating whatever was off limits (in your case, carbs) then you body stores it not knowing when it's going to have that type of fuel again. Most people…

Thanks for the review. I joined pact last week and reached my goals for all 3 pacts. I have run into a few technical issues all of which I have reported to the development team and hope they get resolved soon. At first it was looking pretty grim like the app would keep quitting making it almost impossible to log my…

I'm the same way. I was eating 1,200 for a while. I've bumped it up to 1,500. I go to the gym doing a combo of HIIT cardio and weight lifting 3 times a week and play volleyball 2 times a week for 2-3 hours. I started feeling constantly exhausted and fatigued about 2 years ago before I started eating healthy and working out…

Crystal

Not at all, she was incredibly overweight not too long ago so kudos to her

bump

^^this. I do 20-30 minutes of HIIT on a stationary bike on a tough-for-me intensity so even the "low intensity" parts (when I'm not sprinting) are a good workout. 20 second sprint, 40 second rest, repeat. Working my way up to 30/30. It is heart pounding.

Yes, exercise to make up for the junk. But the 10 lbs that user gained, much like the 8 lbs you gain, is MOSTLY water weight. You can't gain that much weight that fast. 1 lb is 3,500 calories. If you gained 8 lbs of REAL fat you would have had to have eaten an excess of 4,000 calories IN ADDITION to your TDEE so easily…

@joebooth28, def play COD on xbox @dob49737: kick him out

That's incredible, you look great

The majority of it is most likely water weight but there could be a pound or two that may be actual new fat since you said you were eating junk. A few weeks ago I gained 6 lbs when I bumped my calories from 1,200 up to 1,500. I was still in a deficit so I should have lost weight. It took a few days to go back to "normal"…

I ate out a few with ago at Chili's. I looked at the "low calorie" section of their menu. I was shocked that most of the meals were around 600 calories. Salmon or tilapia with veggies and rice. I can make that at home for under 400 calories.

check your phone

that's a lie

First of off, kudos for a well-thought out post. I don't mind long posts as long as the person is demonstrating they have attempted to do some research and find a solution on their own and relay that info back to us. I hate short posts of emotional bursts with no research having been performed. I think at your current…

^^^ this coming from the person who also said this... TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure...It's the amount of calories you burn in a day given your height, age, weight, gender and activity level. Perhaps that is why you thought 1,700-1.800 calories is a lot when it is actually not very much for maintaining…

stay

might have to walk away casually

The chicken breasts I have bought have been between 4-12 oz. I weigh it all just to be safe.

I couldn't handle his career as a pornstar...jealous issues

I agree with ^^this...but for the sake of trying to get you the information you need. What is your current calorie intake? age?

The time I blended my smoothie more than normal it made it too much of an airy/whipped texture that I didn't like. I like to be able to crunch on very very tiny grains of ice. It could have been a result of blending for too long. ...reading other comments, the smoothie I made also had blueberries in it...that may be the…

amazing, you look great!

1,700-1,800 is not a lot for maintaining...actually it's nothing for maintaining. I'm cutting right now eating 1,500 calories loosing +1lb per week, thinking about going up to 1,750. My maintenance is 2,000-2,100. I'm female, 25 years old, 5'6" and 150 lbs. I ran what information I have of you: 21 years old, female, 131…

I've only started eating breakfast since starting my relatively new healthy living journey. Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism. It is recommended you drink a glass of water shortly after waking up followed by a meal within 2 hours of waking up. I agree that on weekends sometimes my breakfast doesn't occur until 3 pm. It…

OP, I have the Polar FT4 and I love it. I haven't used it on an elliptical but I used it on the stationary bicycle. I like to think it is pretty accurate because it does ask for your gender, age, height, and weight when you first set it up (some machines don't) and also chest straps will be more accurate than the handle…

have no idea, I'm not home right now.

Special K Protein cereal. Tastes like an adult version of frosted flakes but not as frosty (the sugar content of this cereal isn't too bad).
