Katch Mcardle is probably the best start as long as you know your body fat%. If you need help just search the forum for Road Map. Send me a friend request if you want to give it a try. ;)

I run 100s of numbers and for free. If my numbers didn't work then don't drag my name across the forum. From what I can glean from the long post was she didn't want people, specifically me and anyone from ipoarm telling anyone how to manage their diet. Where did this even come from? I always thought if you have an issue…

Funny thing is I talked to my group before January. "Gang! The resolutions are coming! Make sure we don't treat our way of life as a crusade!" I used to try to shove IPOARM down people's throat and frankly it made me miserable. Now I'm happy. 5'6" 11% body fat. 38 but I look 25. Just be smart about your choices. Eat right…

The problem is we put too much faith in a person who may have a PHD but not have proper knowledge in nutrition. This is like the docs that prescribe GBP surgery even when it has a 5% long term success rate. Not to mention the fact that eating that low tends to slow the metabolism. So what happens when you get to goal?…

Natalie, I believe the word you are looking for is "validity"! Is IPOARM a valid solution to your weight loss? Is a VLCD better for you? I think you see bashing where we are in fact pointing out inconsistencies in the VLCD community. For instance today a post went up in success stories about a woman eating "1200cals a…

No! You aren't a snowflake! The difference is if you want to operate with a slower metabolism or not. OP started a success thread with zero photos showing progress. My guess is she's weak, has low energy and is skinny fat. Don't tell people its okay to eat a certain way when you don't know what you're talking about.…

No

The problem with this app is everyone is gungho for 2lbs a week when they really need .5-1lb lost a weeks etting. Also i'm finding a lot of people dont eat back calories. So the average human burns between 2k-2600cals per day. Simply finding TDEE and cutting 20% will give appx 1lb lost per week. Thats 1600-2k a day. So why…

Congrats on your loss! Can you detail how much body fat vs lean muscle lost since you started? Do you have progress photos? Can we see your progress thru this journey? I'm asking because most women "want" weight loss but really "need" fat loss. So eating 1200 calories will help you lose "weight" but the end result can…

Quit cutting corners and just change your lifestyle. Heres an easier softer way: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

Maybe the 10s see the 3 as an 11?

I go for confidence and personality. So maybe its you?

Just about any woman can lose at 1600 without exercise if all things are in line metabolically.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Follow the info on this link. Get TDEE. Eat 10% above TDEE every day. Lift heavy 3x a week using www.stronglifts.com. You are skinny fat. Thats okay because its reversible. If you do what I say youll lose the fat and gain a little lean…

Forget the word "junk" Think 70% whole, single ingredient foods abs 30% processed foods. If it fits your macros while cutting calories its fine! Measure your success every week or every 2 weeks. Mfp has measurements built in to track. Hugs!

HUH? Noooooooooooooooo............

It takes a while to overtrain. Just make sure nutrition is there. Set MFP to highly active setting and eat back all the cals burned and you should be fine... Or http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Do this and lift 3x a week in a 3x5 or 5x5 program. Use the extra time on…

This happens to me. What are your eating habits? Pre/post workout nutrition? What is your workout routine?

You dont know what you are doing. Do this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 PM me any Qs. PS: my body fluctuates up to 9lbs per day due to fluid and eating habits. My body weight drops every week while cutting. This is proof that 1200 cals doesnt work if you dont know…

Start strong lifts 5x5. It starts with the bar weight and slowly progresses up every week. Please be sure you are eating at least 1600-2k a day if you want to make this work. www.stronglifts.com

Nothing. Dont change a thing. You are right on track.

Carbs fuel your workouts and also help with leptin uptake and utilization.

I tell everyone that they will gain at first. This is usually what happens as the body adjusts and adapts. And its not a matter of it not working for him. Its him not making it work. Somewhere somehow he's missing something that makes him think its not working. Oh well! On with my day! ;)

Heyyyyy Tank! You are one of hundreds of people ive done numbers for. For free mind you. Most people who have any issues or stall come to me and ask questions. You on the other hand have decided to go on a "Smear Dan Crusade!" So for that...... Image removed by MFP Staff I bet its your lack of a good workout routine that…

Not again.

They dont go hungry when eat about 20% below TDEE. Just learn how to eat.

Lately i've had folks eating till they plateau.
