Almost everyone on this forum is or has experienced the same thing :) You aren't alone! I've been thinking of adding in something like Naked Juice daily so I can up my calories with juice instead of more food volume

You go Rosie!! enjoy it :) it wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. I'll admit though, i do all the ab work at home.

Definitely start watching your macros, you can manually set them in your goals. It made a huge difference for me in curbing cravings and hunger every day. You'll do great, keep at it!

Hi Lisa :) Yep, today is a new day. Question for you.. do you have your macro's set to the 40% carb, 30% protein, 30% fat? I have found keeping my macros in line really has improved my ability to keep cheat days in check. The high protein keeps me very full. In addition to that, I try to mix in the foods that I crave here…

gratz polza !! I remember a post where you were very worried. :)

bump

congrats !! im just starting the program

hmm. Ok. What spurred on the question is because two days this week during my workouts I felt tired and weak, so I was questioning if I was getting enough to fuel what I was doing. I picked moderate because I didn't think my 150 cal burn walks (from mfp totals) would add up to being the same as someone who was doing…

Welcome to the group :) One of the more experienced members can chime in on your totals, but you should never be eating less than your BMR. You may need to do a 15% cut instead of the 20% brings you below your BMR figure

nice job!! congrats on the progess even with the set back

i tend to avoid cooking as well .. couple things I like to keep around are hard boiled eggs natural peanut butter and polomer fruit and fiber jelly (ill have pb&j sandwiches for breakfast to avoid cooking sometimes lol) quaker oats instant oatmeal weight control (nuke the water and eat!) and if you have a wawa by you, you…

someone linked this for the workout schedule if anybody needs it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmBawuhJvld5dFBNQnRfMUNtU3F4TXc4YmdpWWQyRnc#gid=0

I did the first workout today and it went surprisingly well. I brought my book, re-read each exercise and description before doing the set, ignored everyone around me and just did it. I was pretty happy with myself for not shying away :)

congrats! :)

Hi and welcome to the group :) Did you check the scooby calculator for your calorie recommendation? your tdee is determined by the number of hours you exercise not the type of exercise you do.

double post

Welcome to the group :) The mods will want you to post your age, weight, height and activity level to make a calorie recommendation.

nice job mike, can't believe there's only 10 lbs between the first pic and the most recent.

Hi, feel free to add me.. :)

ill be starting it soon.. it will be a little intimidating moving off of the machines into the grunty guy area lol

alright so Ill do my routine till i finish the book then schedule an appointment to learn the new exercises.

I don't have huge loses, but my answer is no. I started at 1200, lost a bit then stagnated for months until I found a link that brought me to this group. Upp'ed my calories and finally starting to see a downward trend again.

nice progress, congrats :)

previously when i was eating 1200 cals, it said i would lose... i didn't. now im eating 1900, it says ill gain.. i haven't, i lost

congrats :)

That made me smile. It would make my year if I ended up with six pack abs before he did. I've never in my life not had some sort of belly fat. I'm afraid of setting that as goal, but who knows what can happen with this plan. I never step foot in a gym or lifted a weight before this group.

I deal with this at home almost daily. I'm heavier than my boyfriend and have been told for months while I wasn't losing weight that I need to eat less calories and I must be cheating. I started this at 1900 cals and in the last 8 days have gone for 170 to 168. It's working.. I just want it to work faster so I can stop…

My boyfriend and I are at odds with each other as well. He strongly believes that eating very minimal calories is the way to lose weight the healthy way. His goal is 6 pack abs and so far has not been able to lose the small layer of belly fat even though hes very thin already and has dropped even more weight. I'd like us…

did your doctor set you up on a 1000 calorie diet?

Yep, i sure do, especially with the increased protein. I have to make absolutely sure i get 30g of fiber when I eat 100g of protein. I think I need to increase it in comparison with addition grams of protein.
