Really enjoyed reading your story!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Fab!!!! Will try it out too !

So what did you decide??? Will you try it? I've debated it as well so I'm in the same boat

Im starting today as well! fingers crossed. Heybales: Any advice on how many gms of protein or carbs I should aim for? Or is it just calories that we have calculated? Many thanks!

I really want to try this out as I havent had any success losing weight ! But I do need help with the calculations plz! I am 5' 1' Currntly at 154.1 pounds Goal Weight 115 Age 35 For calculating activity levels (the confusing part for me) I have had a personal trainer for the last 2 weeks and I do intense workouts..and am…

Im 5' 1 1/2' and at 154 pounds..would love to get down to 120ish if possible and toned! Feel free to add me!

This is different from the Olivia method in one of the other threads? Correct? Just trying to read through both threads..so slightly confused..

Im 5' 1 1/2' and at my highest weight right now which is 154.3 I seem to just drop and gain 1-2 pounds and have a hard time losing weight. Ive recently just started with a personal trainer -to try for a month. But its been 4 sessions with him and 8 days overall and there hasnt been a single pound change! Im not very…

Thanks so much! I am tempted to try it out....

LOL!!! That is so true!! I always tell myself...let me read more about this specific thing on MFP....then i start browsing forums etc...then switch to facebook then back...till my head hurts! I have to get off it!

Quick Question... When you say coconut milk...is it in a can? I havent used it before so Im not sure. Ive also seen a box which has coconut powder in it (not shredded, but powder) and you can add water in it to make milk. Would that be ok?

saving to read in detail later...want to try it out!

I do the same as everyone else...weigh every day (bad habit) and record once a week.

NUTELLA!!!!!

bump to read later

Im 5' 1' and started at 147 and currently am 144... Goal weight is 115 or so! Feel free to add me too!

Thanks for posting!

Thanks! Saving for later!

I had been eating over 1200 calories (with eating my excercise calories back) and havent lost anything since I started which was in June...infact I have gained weight! And 1 inch from my waist and hips! I have had some bad days though...but for the most part have stayed on plan. So now Im thinking I will try limiting my…

I start at resistance level 2 or 3 and do that for the first 12-15 mins...and then switch to level 7 and do that for as long as i can..and bring it down if its too much (but stay b/w6-8) for the remainder of the workout which is another 30 mins or so. I also sometimes alternate b/w going backwards and forwards. I have to…

I will be doing it too....Im just worried now that my metabolism will slow down or something...not that its fast right now or anything :) I have done it last year too...and typically would just eat healthy meals at sunset...typically just my dinner. That would consist of lean meats, veggies, salad, yogurt and some fruit. I…

I am 5' 1.5' ( tp be exact) and at 145 pounds...came down to 142 and gained it back. So still see sawing right now. Just want to get down to 118 or so! Still new at recording calories, eating excercise calories etc...so a lot to learn!

Im tracking it now...and have it marked on my calendar to check that day....im not very hopeful...but we shall see!!

When any of you say 1200 calories is that Net calories or total calories? just curious as i myself am starting out.

Thank you sooo very much!!! I was just adding whatever looked right from the database..never really verified my actual skim milk etc from the onein the database! Big mistake. Will do so now! Good point! and for tea..will add milk separately...never take sugar in my tea or coffee...so thats not a problem. I didnt know we…

Thanks for all the suggestions!!!! Whey Protein is the protein powder you get? Right? Any specific brand?

Unfortunately didnt measure before..but have done so today! Will check back in 2-3 weeks! Thanks!

i thought so too...but doesnt muscle take up less volume than fat and hence shuold be thinner? Definately have bigger quads! Maybe will try Yoga! thanks!
