Bumping for that list. Thank you!

It's definitely a personal preference, whether to use the TDEE method or MFP. What I like about using the TDEE method is it just simplifies everything. You calculate in how many times you workout a week, so then I have a consistent calorie goal everyday. That works a lot better for me than figuring out and tracking how…

This is happening to me too right now. I just upped my calories from 1400 to 1550 (changed to the TDEE - 20% method). I've been feeling better with more energy, but also way more hungry. I've only done this for about a week, so I may just need more time to adjust. My macro goals are 40/30/30, but my carbs usually end up…

I'm doing the program while eating at a deficit (about 1600 cal/day, that's my TDEE - 20%), and I know I won't be adding muscle while eating this way - I just don't want to lose any. For me, I'm happy with doing it this way because I still have a significant amount of fat to lose (142 lbs. now, goal weight of 125ish). With…

I've been doing the SL 5x5 program with my husband for about 2 weeks now. I'm starting to notice that I just look firmer all around, especially my bum from all the squats! I'm 5' 2", 142 lbs. and around 28% body fat, and I'm lifting to maintain the muscle I have while I take off body fat. It's such a simple program and…

I just started Stronglifts too, about a week ago. My husband is doing it with me, so it takes us about 30-40 minutes to finish. I've decided to add light cardio in after strength training so I can burn more calories. My goal is to lose fat without losing muscle, so overall calorie burn is important. Right now, I'm doing…

It definitely takes some getting used to, but after being gluten and dairy free for a couple months, I can say it gets easier! It helps that I was gluten free for a year before going dairy free as well, so the change was much more gradual, but the first few weeks of dairy free was still brutal. Much harder for me than…

Boobs are *always* first, with belly following close behind. My legs have been the first thing to tone up, but I don't think I've lost much fat from them. Back fat comes off fairly early in the process too, thank goodness b/c I hate that the most!

I read a great book called the Four Agreements, which I highly recommend. In it, one of the agreements you are encouraged to embrace is "Don't take anything personally". Sometimes it's very hard to do, but you need to realize you cannot control her reactions. Yes, you are responsible for being a good and decent human being…

You look fantastic, congratulations!

Absolutely, I have had mine for over a year and still use it at least once a day. It's very eye-opening when you actually weight out your portions.

You're right on, there definitely is a double standard! Although it's more appropriate for shows to make fun of overweight men too, where you really wouldn't find them doing that to women.

haha! And I'm watching Family Guy right now...

My pic is me on my honeymoon, a picture I actually like of myself. My initial goal is to get back down to this weight (about 12 lbs. from where I am now). My pic keeps me inspired! Almost forgot to add my ticker picture is of me and a friend in college, I want to be back down to this weight eventually (about 30 lbs.…
