How is it going soo far ladies? I am actually starting Monday but would love to be in contact since I have not done this since 13 years ago and MANY things have changed.

I guess I was thinking fatty meats and things like that.

Thanks Stef, I will try to do that :)

Thank you all for the advice. I am new to all this so I am surely learning by what everyone is saying :)

Good question WBB55. I assumed with the healthy eating and actively in the gym, that I should be fine. I am eating a deficit in calories to help me achieve a weight-loss. To lose weight based off my TDEE, I need to be at or below 1988. I am planning to be at or below that. Right now I am in the 1200-1400 range but with me…

Thanks for the advice Mark. I found a beginner workout online that seems to target the whole body so that is what I plan to use. I will surely check out the website you suggested; they may have something I would like better. Thanks again. I felt like I pretty much had the right idea but was not sure. I was going to get a…

I cheat once every two weeks and my cheat meal is always my favorite.... SUSHI....... not TOO bad for you except for all the white rice. Yummmmmmm, cannot wait until I get my hand on some California rolls :)

AGericke, that explains everything perfectly. Thanks for your help. :)

AGericke, thanks for the numbers. Would you please explain how you got those numbers so I understand how the process works?

egg white fritattas .. Sounds yummy.... I may try that tonight :)

Good question and something I have been wondering myself. My personal trainer says to stay away from the fruits and veggies that have high carbs or high sugars. I have been trying my best but that leaves me with a small amount of choices :(

Thank you all for the feedback. You are right in that I should not need a list to let me know whats good and bad foods since I can use my common sense. But I am a visual person and to have a list seems to help me start out right. Thanks again :)

I'm with you on this one.... The days I tend to snack on almonds are the days I dont seem to lose much if any. :(

I am 5'8, 204 pounds. I wear some 14s and some 16s. :)

Yes I love those salads.... I use to eat them all the time before I started working out/eating right.... I still can but just hols the cheese :)

I have been doing 45 mins if not more of cardio 6 days a week. I also try to keep my calories AT 1200 but I am sometimes full at 800 or 900 calories. You are more than welcome to look into my diary for ideas :)

You sound just like me.... a friend of mine who is BIG on fitness and nutrition said I NEED to eat 1200-1500 daily to lose weight. Somedays, I am done with my meals and be compltely full and only be at 800/900 calories...... not sure what to do. :ohwell:

You pay money for someone to help you get to where you need to be; not belittle you or hurt you. If I were you, I would fire her and find someone with someone else. You do not want to go through everyday with her having it be like that. FInd someone else. :)
