ditto. Chicken and fish can be quite yummy with proper seasoning! I also make yummy chili thats great for you! Your welcome to look at my diary- I think the way I eat daily is very manageable, but I did cut out most carbs so I can eat a mostly paleo diet. (Cutting carbs can really speed up fat loss, but after a bit you…

When I feel like I really want a certain food- usually ice cream or chocolate- and I have plenty of left over calories I drink a glass of water, then if i still really want the treat I will measure out a serving and have it. I mean you have to live a little and if you are disciplined most of the time a lil treat isnt going…

I'm a bit confused. Paleo is also about listening to your body and eating when you are actually hungry. Well, The thing is today after breakfast at 8 am I never got hungry! At 6pm I decided I should probably just eat something since I don't want to get hungry after 7 and eat before bed... but I don't know if I would have…

so i'm loving this so far! I make baggies of cut up onion, mushrooms and spinach to mix in w 2 eggs each morning which helps keep me on the go. Then I have a week supply of hard boiled eggs my dad and I share (but I only use them when i'm coming home from work starving to hold me over til i can cook a real meal) I am…

i vote one big group since its not that many people. also, i stocked up on groceries this week- mostly veggies and some fish. I figure I'll start off with fish and venison since they are low fat and don't have the chemicals (and are cheaper for me). :) I also cute up veggies and put them in sandwich baggies so i can…

hey girl. i just started mfp like 6 days ago and the support has really motivated me to stick with it each day! im 19 and i used to be 180, lost 30 lbs and then during my freshman year i slowly added 20 lbs back on unfortunately. so i am starting at 170 thus far and after 6 days on here sticking with my diet and exercise…

marathon cardio (running at a moderate pace for 45-60 minutes or more)- such as long distance running- actually breaks down muscle as well as fat so the muscle size is decreased while the fat is decreased too. Boxers call this road work. Thats why i do 20 min of HIIT and 10 min of steady state cardio. I used to do marathon…

so my post got alot of attention- dont get me wrong- i love strength training- for abs, back, chest, shoulders, biceps and triceps.... just not legs because my legs get enough work in my cardio sessions with HIIT + stead state cardio. as to the post about runners having stick legs not shapely muscular legs??.... uhhh well…

Id love to join monday. I've always wanted to do the paleo diet, but i can never seen to stick with it. Maybe this challenge would help! I hear its one of the best ways to loose fat while being healthy.

try adding high intensity interval training to your cardio. do 20 min of intervals then 10+ min of steady state cardio. This really boosts calorie and fat burning and gives you an HGH flush if you push yourself durning intervals. check out fitnessblackbook.com (i absolutely love his site). It really opened my eyes and now…

Don't do any weight training for your legs. my muscles in my thighs balloon up when i do squats lunges etc. (and i don't want that at all because I also have bigger thighs) Also avoid cardio that creates a pump like stationary biking. you can get enough muscle toning in you legs if you just do cardio such as running,…

Hey- I always did the same thing (I'm young but I've been dieting since 6th grade sadly). I'm new too but so far this site has really made me accountable for what I eat. Everyone is so supportive and just knowing that everyone can see my progress has really been a motivator to not mess up!!!! Feel free to add me as a…

I really love this guys workouts and blog about cardio, fat burning and weight training to achieve a lean shapely body. its what ive been doing with some extra running since i have a personal running goal id like to achieve. check out FitnessBlackBook.com. i love his Interval training cardio+steady state cardio combo for…

well the weights have been easier for me than that water. I like strength training so thats no biggie for me, but I went from drinking one or two glasses of water the first day to 10 the second day! im at 4 today and I know I'll drink 4 more working out so i should reach the goal today :) weights 2/7 so far water 1/7 so…

I just eat the goal calories and any extra i earn through exercise is just a bonus for me that'll speed up fat loss! i know my body can run on the original goal just fine even with extra exercise so I figure its a great way to add more fat loss. :) and seeing the number on the scale decrease is a huge motivator for me so…

Good luck with the paleo!! I wanted to go paleo but I just cant seem to commit (especially living in a household where carbs are a staple!) It's extremely healthy and you can burn like 3x more fat from eating that way than just counting calories-- hence why i wish i could stick to it!

Lizzie- you have to find what works for you. I've been dieting for years even though i'm only 19. I have done low carb, vegetarian, and the raw-foods-diet. (I found salads and low-carbs werent for me since i love carbs!!) No matter what- its all about Calories in vs calories out. If you keep your calories consumed to your…

i'm new too. My goal is 50 lbs, but right now my goal is 20 by the end of the summer to be back at my lowest weight in forever. I already love the site after only 2 days! Feel free to add me as a friend and Good Luck!!

Hey girl, I'm 19 and just finished my freshman year of college also. I'm an engineering student (unfortunately lol) so I gained about 20 lbs over the year. I just started on MFP 2 days ago and its been helpful so far. Feel free to add me as a friend. I started reading this man's stuff on "Fitness Black Book" and bought his…

Hello, Im a day late but I'd still love to join. I'm new to MFP and MFP challenges, but not new to dieting, exercise, weight loss, and yep- weight gain. I started dieting when I hit 180lbs and lost 30 lbs, but I have creeped back up 20 lbs. So, my SW is 170 My GW for 9/05 is 150 I'd love to be back at my lowest weight…

from research I have done for myself, I found that there is no need to consume extra calories for the ones you burn from exercise. I count my exercise as a "bonus" (and if you mess up on your diet sometime- you can fall back on those extra calories you burned). When you burn more calories than you consume you burn fat, so…

I also just joined today! it has already been really helpful. goodluck to you to.
