  • I've got about 15lbs to lose (7kgs)... feel free to add me!! I've added everyone above me, hope you don't mind.
  • 6-8 rep ranges don't usually cause much hypertrophy (bodybuilder's call it the pump)... so it's natural to not feel full in the muscle. Do dropsets! Increase volume, and you'll feel that pump, up the rep ranges to 8-12 or more for hypertrophy. Dread the idea of working out, then maybe you have adrenal fatigue, lots and…
  • OPTIMIZE YOUR DIET!!!! Use the internet, it holds unlimited knowledge. I don't have diabetes, but I have... 1. Not felt like working out, going to the gym. 2. Ate more than I should, way more, way way way more. 3. Thought about throwing up after eating too much. 4. Felt fat, hate the person staring at the mirror. Have you…
  • Definitely not a plateau, not on your 2nd week, it's obvious that the 1st weeks loss, while very encouraging, was mostly water weight, cause if you were at a deficit of 200-400 for the 1st week, you should have lost 1 lbs. Maybe you just had a salty meal the previous day. being 1.5lbs off from where you should be is not…

  • Hello, If you want some motivational support or an extra friend to keep you accountable, I'm your man! I've been a MFP member for a while, it's certainly helped me a lot.
  • Hello, I'm trying to lose about 20lbs as well... friend invite incoming... it's no magic when it comes to losing, eat well, eat a balanced diet, exercise more, and try to have a bit of a deficit at the end of the day :) Right now, fibrous foods are helping me keep my gigantic appetite at bay.
  • Hi there, I'm at the point of trying to lose my last 10kgs as well... sending friend invite!
  • Hi, I've been on and off MFP for a while now, at the moment I'm trying to lose about 8kgs (18lbs). Friend invite incoming!!
  • I don't think you lost 8kgs of water weight :) Your body is smart, it can adapt really quickly to be efficient at using energy, great for survival, but bad for weight/fat loss. Maybe your body is use to the exercise and diet already. As previously suggested, try different exercises. Your body has to work harder when it's…
  • That's true for me too, being hungry makes it harder for me to sleep, or have good continuous sleep. I do get gas from eating too much protein though :( but that's about it
  • Does measurements include height? other variables could be what meissastar said... "muscle density" and or bone density.
  • I agree with jenilla1 that you are eating "a maintenance level of calories." BUT... from the description of your recent diet and exercise activities, you may have lost a little bit of muscle. If you keep eating the same amounts of food, you may gradually put on weight because your metabolism is slowing down. Of course I'm…
  • sounds like an off-day, and it sounds like you're mentally tired... here's how I prepare when I feel a little burnt out before a workout session... eat some complex carbs 60-90mins before workout(wholemeal grains bread for me+honey), drink some water. eat an orange 30mins before workout, drink more water that should take…
  • The only difference I can see is, you might be a lil' bit more tired on Monday, if you can handle that.... then everything's a-ok.
  • Hi, I'm lost a few pounds before joining, and now I'm trying to lose 37lbs more. I believe in sweating a lot. The hardest part I find when adjusting to a new nutrition plan is temptation during the first few couple of weeks. Probably cause you're shocking your system... keep at it, and eventually, eating well will become…
  • My math is terrible, it's atually 37.5 lbs. re: tjcook1030 - I've checked out other sites too, and decided this ithe one for me.
  • I've read that you can eat ALL your exercise calories. some people eat 25% of it. Most people recommended eating close to 100% so you don't put your body into "starvation mode." which can be counter-productive to losing weight. - eat lotsa small meals a day - eat clean foods - drink lots of water
  • Re: MobyLovesPie: 6kgs in 4 weeks is impressive!!!! keep up the good work. 1 kilo (kg) = 2.2 pounds (lbs) I live in Australia. So I'm trying to lose about 35 lbs
