Hi, I'm a female - 5'11 - 175 lbs. Workout 5-6 days per week - mix of cardio and strength training - my goal is to lose fat and increase lean muscle. I have my settings to lose 1 pound per week, which puts me at 1,490 calories per day. I do 40/30/30 carb/protein/fat, which puts me at a daily limit of 149g carbs, 50g fat,…

That's awesome, Alexz210! My week one results weren't as great. I gained 1 pound. :ohwell: Oh well, last week I lost 5 pounds, so I'll just count some as carry over from then! :laugh: Hope everyone has a great weekend!

You are BEAUTIFUL!!! Great job!!! You should be SO proud of yourself!!! :flowerforyou:

THANK YOU for mentioning mybodygallery.com. I've never heard of it before, but it is awesome!

I'm 5'11 1/2. I currently weigh 174. Within the past year, I've been as low as 170 and felt great! But, I can see my body, and I know I have more fat to lose. I have lots of muscle and am very athletic, but still see rolls that need to GO! :laugh: My goal is to get to 165 - I've never been that small in my entire life, so…

I use Nutiva. I buy them at HEB and Whole Foods.

I'm working on my last 10 pounds as well, and expect it to be challenging. Feel free to friend me - I'm happy to suport and be supported! :flowerforyou:

Starting Weight: 174 Goal Weight: 165 Halloween is just over 15 weeks away. My goal is to lose my last 9 pounds by then, and then maintain through the holidays! 170 is my lowest adult weight, so getting to 165 is a really big deal for me. I'm 5'11 and feel great at 174 - can't imagine how great I'll feel at 165!! I…

I set mini goals too: - run to that car, tree, stop sign, stop light, end of street, etc, etc - run outdoors (I never run as far when I run on a treadmill) - sounds crazy, but sometimes I count my footsteps to 10 over and over. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 - repeat - repeat. - definitely run to music - don't stop until you get to…

I tore my ACL in 1997, and immediately had surgery to repair it. I was playing basketball in college at the time, so thankfully I had good trainers and rehab program. They had me working out IMMEDIATELY. Literally I woke up from surgery with my knee in a machine that was bending it, the next day I was on a bicycle, and…

I add both chia and flax to my morning oatmeal. Love the fiber and Omegas!

yoga, stretch, foam roller, walk

I'm 5'11 and wear a size 11 shoe.

I eat a lot of... VEGGIES: zucchini, yellow summer squash, asparagus, BROCCOLI, tomatoes, cucumber, baby spinach, kale (mmm, kale chips!), baby carrots and celery for snacks, onion, mushrooms FRUITS: blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, bananas (sparingly - they are good for you, but high in calories and carbs), right…

Mine is great! There a SO many different types though - just find one you like...

Hi there! I'm Lisa - 33 yrs old. I'm very active, but need to be very strict with my diet to lose weight. I do some type of exercise 6 days a week (boot camp, run, spin). I have 6 weeks left in my current boot camp session - so this challenge is perfect timing! My goal is to lose (at least) 5 pounds by then. Good luck to…

Awesome - glad to hear you like their food. Yeah, I'm a little concerned with the cost too - guess I'll see tomorrow just exactly how much this will set me back. I see you are from Austin too! Only the greatest city on earth! HOOK EM! :drinker:

Are we talking about the same thing??? I'm talking about this: https://www.myfitfoods.com/21-day-challenge

Lift, Lift, Lift!! You will NOT bulk up - I PROMISE you!! The only way to get the nice toned body you want is by lifting weights. Trust me, you will still lose weight - and after all, isn't it FAT that you want to lose, not just weight. Muscle burns more calories than fat does. START LIFTING NOW! :)

I like Tom Venuto - I think the Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle book makes a lot of sense. More so I try to eat clean - I LOVE Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet. They are both pretty similar though - eat 5-6 smaller meals per day - have lean protein, complex carbs in every meal, drink lots of water, etc.

Bump!

lean meat, egg whites, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, beans, quinoa, milk

I am definitely an emotional eater - and I eat out of boredom. Looking forward to reading some suggestions/ideas. :flowerforyou:

My trainer suggested whey protein. I try not to make it a staple of my daily diet, just throw it in on days that I don't get enough protein from whole foods. I've never mixed it into anything other than oatmeal, but I'm sure it's possible...

These are my "go to" lean proteins... egg whites fat free greek yogurt hummus almonds and almond butter chicken breast turkey breast tuna, salmon, other fish, shrimp lean pork protein powder - as a drink or mixed into oatmeal

sleep! :flowerforyou:

Thanks! I decided to go with the butternut squash!

My cat tries to do yoga with me. :smile:
