Depends on your ability to recover. If you find yourself dreading your workouts or getting sick easy, dial it back.

Why GBP surgery? I'm working with a guy now who started his journey at 700+LBS and is now down to the mid 500LBS. He just works out every other day and eats right. GBP does cause you to lose weight but only has a 5% success rate long term. And its a huge change to your system. If you do get the surgery, studies show better…

My NEAT is crazy high! I twerk everywhere I go! I look like a crack addict! ;) I'm actually nearing the bottom side of healthy weight. Ill be maintaining and doing slight cuts here and there. September starts the bulk season and I won't stop till Feb. Major supplementation will come into play this year as to not waste any…

Closed diary....

I agree to a point. My cut # is 2k but it's taken time for me to figure it out and adapt to it. BTW Sara great progress!

Age, height and how much fat one has to lose has little to do with it. Training your body to adapt has everything to do with it. Cardio and light weights may still see you in an elderly home due to the inability to remain ambulatory. If you train your body to lift heavy and to get strong, youll live longer and remain…

To add to this, in 3rd world countries where famine is prevalent, women have fewer to no menstrual cycles and birth rate is lower. On a genetic level its the same in women who work hard and eat too little, causing cortisol elevation (the bodies fight or flight mechanism. So on a genetic level, why would your body allow you…

Success story! Post this in success stories! ;D

Some OPs like to talk to the wind just to hear it answer. My wife who suffers from endometriosis and has been on a host of BC only lost fat when doing things that effect insulin sensitivity/resistance. Cardio didn't work. Cutting carbs didn't work. Cutting calories into the lower end, like OP didn't work. Resistance…

This thread is entering its golden years. The fighting. The repeating itself. Eventually it will have a major cardiac infarction and flatline. OP if you want to lose fat send me a PM. I'll be more than happy to run numbers and get you in a training frequency that will help you get rid of the fat.

A few things I see: 1) You workout every day 2) No mention of how much you eat per day (Edit: 1100 calories isnt enough) 3) no mention of what your workouts consist (edit: cardio isnt the answer) My advice is to take a week off at base TDEE. (moderate) Walk 10k steps a day. Lift weights 3x a week. After the first week cut…

1600/day with 1 day at 2400. Lift 3-4x a week in a 5x5 routine at the gym. Every 4 weeks take a deload week at 50% and work on form or do lactate threshold training (PM me). Walk 10k steps a day. Heres the hard part! Nutrition is 80%. So eat 70% whole unprocessed foods. At your size you should have your macros set around…

Lets understand your statistics first. Age: 19 Height: Weight: Body fat%: <very very important! Occupation: Student on break to travel UK Workout Routine: Any metabolic issues or physical limitations? I'm off to work so if you like, copy and paste this and PM me the answers and I can help you understand this a bit more.

TDEE +/- is a simpler route for me TBH. I can prelog food and I always know what acceptable, so long as i work out X amount of times a week.

10,000 mile journey starts with a single step and a motivation to succeed. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/974889-in-place-of-a-road-map-short-n-sweet PM me if you need help.

Why would you feel guilty about eating? Did you know if you took identical twins who were on the same fat loss program, had them run 10 miles and fed them 3000 calories, the one who feels guilty about eating would partition the food differently than the one whos happy to eat to nourish? Food for thought.…

Heather is next! Waiting on her post! ;)

Jennifer, You have been an absolute inspiration to me and the IPOARM group. You were patient and understanding. You followed direction and stayed the path. I appreciate most how you'd take my crazy training ideas and apply them allowing you to step somewhat put of the mainstream lifting programs, and apying new techniques…

OH and PS! Fat storage in the hips and thighs is a sign of proper hormones!

Building lean muscle, yes it weighs more btw, has a slimming effect on the body. If body fat is low already and you are nearing the "underweight" category, maintain for a short while at TDEE then bump cals up to gain lean muscle. Trust me when I say this, Lean Muscle will always look better than skinny-fat! Squats or…

So are you looking to lose fat and build muscle? Or Just focused fat loss? Or just focused muscle gain? I'm getting conflicting messages. Muscle gain is a caloric surplus. Fat loss is a slight caloric deficit. Recomp is eating high, up to 20-30% above TDEE on lift days, and eating low -10%-20% below TDEE on rest days. In…

Nice work!

Lol 2 days ago i was 133..today im 140. Welcome to the rollercoaster of fat loss! ;D

Its not about losing pounds, its about losing fat. If she were lifting weights im sure PRs would never happen.

Take 300-500mg Gaba. Its safe and natural.

No offense but your ticker tells us 1200 calories isn't working.
