Craziness! So happy I decided to weigh it!

nicceeee

i experienced wicked cravings and hunger... like why am i soooo hungry!??? I`ve taken it 3 times in the past like 6 years i guess and each time i have the same effects. I gain 10 pounds, I get terrible jawline acne, low back pains and abdominal cramps about 5 weeks after taking it, and fatigue like i got hit by a truck! I…

No it isn't pointless. Don't worry about the "fat burning" which takes place during exercise but rather the "calorie burning" which contributes to your calorie deficit. If you goal is to maximise your weight loss do the exercises you can handle which allow you to burn the most calories in the time you have available. The…

Awesome ! Great! Thanks for the info :)

I`m just quoting you all just to say THANK YOU! I didn`t realize my mistakes before! About the protein shakes, and the carb levels. I am starting to feel a little less hungry at night just with a few changes! So THANK YOU! My week has started off with a renewed motivation! :smiley: (just don`t beat me up over my homemade…

Ok so I'll bring down my carb percent by 5% in my range and see how that goes too .. This week, starting Monday will be a new week :) for me

I thought protein was a hunger cruncher lol.... i thought that eating more protein would make me less hungry and make sure I don't lose muscles from low calorie diet.. hence the protein shakes and protein bars. (Because it seems even though I work out hard, i use 10lbs weights now, as opposed to the 4 lbs I started off…

I'm weighing the food that I can, I do have a food scale. I'm just so hungry at nights that I can't sleep most of the week, even when I do eat back my exercise calories. I'm just so hungry it keeps me awake (like i get this anxious feeling, like my adrenaline is up or something, i've read it could be stress from low cal…

Ok... & Btw its cooked chicken that I weighed

Chicken Waldorf Salad (Shaun Ts meal plan) 5oz chicken breast Half macIntosh apple chopped 10 grapes Tablespoon chopped almonds Tblspn of salad dressing (I like the kraft Veg & fruit berry and balsamic. Adds a nice fruity punch to it) and I eat it as a cold chicken salad! Packs around 350 calories

Great! Thanks for all the helpful tips! :)

thank you all so much for the advice! I`m going to get at the magnesium (had read that somewhere too!) I use a scale to weigh my food yep! Ok great! I feel like i have a direction to work in now.. i`m going to add magnesium, go back to the 1450 cals and keep my saturday calories down to 1500 instead of the 1800-2000.…

ok.. so should i stay at this calorie level? I`m finding it hard to stay this low.

Perfect perfect! I'm glad!

wowza!!! my head is spinning! ok ..... looks like it's a scale to weigh my foods! today I let MFP calculate my calories needed to lose 1 pound a week.. says 1240 :neutral: .... i was following shaun t's t251600 cal meal plan for the last 4 weeks. So now i'll follow MFP for a couple weeks.... today was my day off though and…

I`m sorry, I have not been logging my foods of my fitnesspal.. what i am doing is just using MFP to calculate the amount of calories by measured food (like 5 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast = 162 cals.. ok ..so then i take that and write it down on a paper journal) I`ll promise to press enter from now on. i use…

just wanted to let you guys know that i tried having my calories around 2000 and if i was hungry before bed I had a snack and this week I lost 1.5 pounds!!!!!!!! I lost .5 inch on my thighs and .5 inch around my waist!!

yep...my little guy comes first :) Just wondering how to get a good balance. I'm trying the 2050 cals for a week. See how it goes.

5'7 at 147 lbs before pregnancy i was 134.. i'd be happy to just get to 140 I'll try lowering by 100 cals. thanks! Not familiar of who that is.. i'll have to google her! haha

milk supply seems ok... bub doesn't get fussy. I've been at this level of calories since about mid april. At first I was just walking and snowshoeing and I had lost 5 pounds but now doing these workouts i've stalled but then i just gained 3 pounds over the weekend..just when i finished my ripped in 30 program and before…

how is it going so far? and are you following the meal plan? I am going to try and follow the meal plan as best as i can. I probably will follow it for at least five days of the week for sure though.

Yay! great!

MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMM I had fried fish for supper too! It was done in flour and fried in the pan! But fish is amazing for you! For your skin, hair and mind! Eat fish as much as you can... as long as its not deep fried, that kinda defeats the purpose. And for the french firees.... ewwww frozen store bought…

i can't barrreelly squeeze into my pants now... i've gained 6-10 pounds since i started exercising! I'm scared I wil have to buy all new pants soon! :( I've been waering my sweat pants to avoid putting on my jeans cause its just so dissappointing.. I feel like ishould have never begun to work out.. I was just fine at 135..…

i'm in!! My bday is Oct 2nd and I would love to be at 134!! So I got 10 pounds to go! So means I gotta get 1 to 1.5 ilbs off each week! Then I will be at my goal!!!

ALOE VERA ALOE VERA ALOE VERA!!! Ohhhh how that stuff feels sooooooo good on a sunburn. Make sure you skin isn't blistering though. If it is, you are going to have to tough it out and make sure no clothing rubs against it. ALso you can buy a topical spray called Solarcaine at the pharmacy to spray on. That its specifically…

try adding spices to your foods.. like chili spices, and cinnamon to things that it would go with! Spices rev up the metabolism. Also try drinking 2 cups of decaffinated green tea as well! Green tea boosts up the metabolism and it adds to you daily water intake. :) Try in the middle of your exercise and calories reduction…

I did almost the same thing. I start the 30 day shred, doing it 5 days in a row starting out and doing 40 mins Turbo Jam on the same days. My body was getting tired and stiff, but i didn't listen to it and I ended up tearing a muscle in my back that really hurt and wasn't able to do my workout for a solid week and the 2nd…

I was the same! I worked out for 2 months, 6 days a week, strength 20 mins a day and cardio 40 mins. No movement. First make sure you have you lifestyle activity set right. If you are at work or home sitting around, put sedentary! And then you just add in ur exercise manually on ur account. Also, i was eating back all my…
