This way sounds more simpler... I just need to wrap my head around that "I need to eat MORE" and stop being such a chicken *kitten* about gaining weight. Why is it so friggin difficult for me to worry more about body composition then the number on the scale? Any tips on how to overcome that? Maybe throwing away the scale…

I'll have to admit,I think I'm what you call Skinny Fat. I weigh 126lbs,but I need to firm up. I do lift 3x a week,I want to increase my strength and get leaner...

Thanks for your replies! Keep the responses coming,I would love to get a general idea of what you all are doing.:smile: Any tips would be appreciated also, Through the Spike Diet book,I figured my BMR to be 1296 and my TDEE to be 2235. I already eat more than my BMR...I'm thinking I should raise my calories to give my body…

Bump!

I agree with what the others are saying...EAT MORE! You are not eating enough. In all the time that I've been on MFP...I have never ever eaten that low. Look at my weightless ticker...and I've lost weight eating enough food to fuel my body. It's ok to have a cheat day,but good lord girl,ya gotta eat more on a regular…

I've been looking for recipes to make my own protein bars,thanks!

I think I love you...lol! You got me,until I read your whole post...:bigsmile:

Thanks! So,from what I'm reading....I don't necessarily have to eat only the 1207,I can eat more if I'm hungry. I can tell you right now,1200 isn't going to cut it. I'd be starving! lol!

I also want to add that I work 6 days a week and do cardio 6/days a week and lift weights 3x a week.

Hi Olivia, I would love to start your method. Going by MFP,my BMR is 1207;Maintenance is 1750. Could you please help me figure this out? Please and thank you!:flowerforyou: Or Is this right? BMR-1207 1207x1.3=1569 1207+1000=2207 2207-1569=638 So,do I set my calories @1569? I can eat up to 1669 right? Also,I don't eat my…

Have you ladies tried Quest Protein Bars? http://blog.questproteinbar.com/all-natural-quest-bars-now-available/ They just came out with this new all natural line. I've been eating the Chocolate Brownie protein bar,prior to this. They are really good!

Best of luck...you can do this,I know you can! Just believe in yourself!:flowerforyou:

Thanks to you all,I have started lifting 3x/week,instead of my usual 2x a week.:drinker:

I like 0% fat greek yogurt,I mix in Smuckers fat free jam.

I had a PC,now I have a Mac and I'll never go back!

What brand is good to take? And should I take the amount recommended? Or is it different for men and women?

Congrats! You can do this,keep up the great work!

LOL!!! I was thinking the same thing!:laugh:

I agree eat more protein and up those calories to no less than 1200 calories a day. You are eating way too little... Food is not your enemy...you need it to fuel your body. Eat healthy foods and drink your water...

LOL!!! :wink:

Go to free dieting.com and do the "Fat Loss" Not the Extreme Fat Loss. You should not be eating below 1200....at all. I'm assuming that's where you may of got your daily calorie amounts from?

Don't give up,it took me awhile to get the moves as well. Keep doing the "New to class" workout,until you feel comfortable. You'll get there!:wink:

I am so making these for Xmas!:bigsmile:

Hi! I just switched my goals to .5 lb weight loss and I'm going to slowly work my calorie goal up to Maintenance. I work out 6/days a week.2-3 strength training sessions and cardio 6 days a week. It's such a scary thought to eat Maintenance calories.....Yikes! Maybe it's what my body needs,I'm 128 lb and would love to get…

I am too. Sunday,I'm going to switch my deficit to 1/2lb and then slowly work my way up to maintaining. I eventually want to eat about 2000 calories a day. I'm hoping I'll lose the last 3 lbs that I want to.

I love all these recipes!:smile:

I just add my own too...:smile:

Hello everyone! Glad to see everyone coming back and giving us an update! I know you all can do this,we can do it as long as we have each other as support! For me,I've stayed the same...which is ok since I kinda been snacking on Halloween candy!:ohwell: Now that all the candy is put out of sight...I'm back on track! We got…

I don't get why people have to be so judgemental? Why has this become such a debate? Is there anything wrong with getting implants to balance out a women's body after/before weight loss? We all get new hair dos,buy new clothes to feel and look good about ourselves right?

Honey, There are risks to EVERY surgery elective or not!
