BombshellPhoe was probably correct. I am seeing muscle due to working out and losing weight. I get that IIFYM is just a way to determine which foods I can eat. If I do 40, 30, 30, the breakdown looks like this: Carbohydrates 150.0g Protein 112.0g Fat 50.0g And here's what today looks like: Calories 1,065 Carbs 180 Protein…

I've lost nearly 10lbs in just over a month. I'm not really allowing for many treats with the 1300 calorie goal. I usually use Saturday and Sunday as cheat days. I go over on those days. Otherwise, I usually fall below the 1300 calorie goal. I am 155 now and have a goal of 130. I believe I am losing fairly quickly. I am…

Yep. Fried eggplant

I am a Precor fan. I like the old 546. I don't own one myself. I have a NorticTrack. I'm a member of Planet Fitness and they have Life Fitness machines. I sure miss the old Precor 546. That is the way to go IMHO. I don't go by the machine's calculations of calories anymore. I calculate my calories here:…

Keep up the good work! That is a big difference. It is so worth it to stick it out.

It is so worth it. Keep coming back.

Good insight. I never assume that everyone is in A-OK shape to press/lift their potential. I've had knee issues in the past and that advice might not work out so great with me. Did you assume liability for the advice? ^^ This.

Glad you're back :)

Congratulations :) You look great. :smile:

This. I can't stand strong cologne/body spray in the gym.

I don't know so much about the body... but if I had a body like that, you would not find it in those pants.

I have a golden retriever /pit mix. He doesn't chew my shoes, but he does like to relocate them. Shoes that were once in the closet can be found on the living room floor. He isn't even creative in where he puts them.

That seems simple enough :) I might try those. My initial response to OP was going to be be to grill them. I've had good experiences with both grilled and roasted eggplant.

I've lost about ten lbs after working out each morning and eating healthier. I went to the doctor today with my back hurting. She said I've strained a muscle in my back and to take at least a week off from working out. :/ I feel like I just did get momentum.

160 lbs @ 5' 5" and my goal is 130 :)

I have post surgical hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism. I was advised in April that my parathyroid did not 'wake up' following last June's thyroid surgery. Sometimes my fingers and hands get sore from the hypopara. I have to take calcium, synthroid, and calcitriol. Some folks experience all kinds of emotional issues…

Tomorrow I am going to Pride Fest in Baton Rouge. I am helping the local MCC (Metropolitan Community Church) set up their booth. I am in the Lesbian Social Club and we are meeting up at 1p and hanging out, and then I am sitting at another booth for an hour in the afternoon. I try to help out with Pride where I can. :)

I just joined. Glad this group is here. Glad to see y'all.

I am now entering my food and exercise on a program through "Live Better Louisiana" which is a Blue Cross and State of Louisiana initiative for State employees to get healthier. I don't really want to enter everything twice, so for now I will be entering it on the Live Better site. My workout has been pretty much...…
