  • HIIT is good in moderation. 2-3 times per week. I know you lift heavy, so this is a great way to get some intense cardio in without having to spend forever on the treadmill. Steady state burns more calories in the moment, but HIIT (like weight lifting) burns calories for up to 18 hours after its complete. I do both ... I…
  • 5:2 Fasting isn't starving yourself ... its eating calories at maintenance five days a week and eating 20-25% of that on your fast days. Your calories are already quite low. I dont know what your starting weight is, but 1200 calories a day may be too low which is why you are getting stuck. I do IF 2 days a week where I go…
  • Im aiming for another 20 - starting a program called 'clutch cut' today! Hopefully helps get me back to where I want to be! Add away! instagram@brosis85
  • That is a great program! I am on mybodyspace - cinglis85. I am doing the Erin Stern plan, but have two people I know on Jamie Easons plan. From my understanding added cardio doesnt hurt anything! I add it to my workouts because I am in a phase where I want to burn additional fat! For your calories, you should figure out…
  • I leave out the bun ... or just use half of a bun. My trick was to use healthier fillers ... or none at all! Just season the beef and cook it in a patty shape!
  • I love breakfast! I wake up at 430 in the morning... and am not usually home from work until six at night ... in bed by 1030. I was a religious breakfast eater, before and after my workouts ... and then when I got to work. The challenge was by 10 I was ready to eat my arm off ... again! So I would be almost through my…
  • In my past I have been a huge yo-yo dieter ... lose twenty pounds ... gain it back ... lose twenty pounds gain it back. I have finally hit a point where I am almost at my goal and managed to stay consistent for a year. But ... I will have a binge day or couple of days frequently. Because I dont understand it, I kept track…

  • Absolutely squats, lunges and deadlifts are great for adding some definition to your legs! But they are also good for so many other things! But you can do squats and lunges at home if a gym membership isnt where you are at in your journey - and there are lots of other techniques that will help tone your legs. Plyo is a…
  • Hi protein diets can cause constipation - especially if your source of protein comes from something like a shake. I have gone through the same thing. I went to a nutritionist and he suggested 1000mg of vitamin c several times a day until I almost had diahrea ... once I got to that point I was to cut it back. It actually…
  • If you are using it for a protein boost ... ditch the vega one and move on to Vega-One Sport. It is very good tasting and has double the protein of vega-one for the same price. It is equally as clean (no allergens) and way more satisfying. I have never tried shakeology but I have used a ton of different protein shakes for…
  • MFP Calorie calculator is way off ... but a lot of people do not understand that your regular workout habits are also part of your lifestyle when calculating. For example, I have a desk job so most people would assume I am sedentary, but I also walk 3-5 days a week and I workout hard 5-6 days a week, so I am actually…
  • BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY EVER! Literally does nothing. I fell for the scam *sigh* and didnt see a single result. I have found doing it on my own has worked way better and its something I can live with.
  • I did a cleanse that was supported by a nutritionist (it was a candida cleanse) and honestly it was AMAZING - it was really hard, but it worked wonders. However, now that I am not on the cleanse I wish I had never done it. This cleanse works to clear your body of yeast, toxins from wheat and sugars ... and before I started…
  • I personally am not married, so I havent experienced that added stressor but the trick to success is to try and stay positive. If I could make a suggestion, set REALLY small goals for yourself. Dont look at the end goal of Sept 2015, look at next week and next month. Small goals are much more achievable, and less of a let…
  • Definitely went down between a 0.5-1 size depending on the shoe!
  • Keep up the great work! It is definitely showing how dedicated you are!!
  • I use Ortho-Core - its not very cheap, but I actually notice a difference in my energy and stuff when taking them which I have never experienced before with a drug store brand.
  • I would say that 1200 calories is likely too low ... as previously mentioned, you probably want to eat some of your workout calories back. I cycle calories so my diary may not be overly helpful, but feel free to add me and we can chat more - see if there is any way I can help you out!
  • Keep up the great work!
  • AMAZING! Great work! I cant wait to hit my goal! lol Slow and steady ...
  • My suggestion is that you likely need to eat a bit more ... sometimes you need to eat more to lose weight. 1200 calories is for people who have a substantial amount of weight to lose and from your stats you do not fit that category. Go check out this site and figure out your BMR and TDEE…
  • I cycle my calories and do anywhere from 1500 - 2200 depending on the day. Feel free to add if you think I can help in any way!
  • Feel free to add me as a friend - I love being able to help people on their journey!
  • Love this question ... I am having the same challenge. My lifting has recently changed and become heavier and increasingly more intense and now I feel like I am starving all the time. I already calorie cycle between 1500(low days) 1700 (medium days) and 2200(refead day) and it never seems enough!
