ROFL...it will! Especially when you relax in the journey...:-)
-
Whew, the boards are active today, I almost missed this one... First off consistency is key in this journey...When you eat 1600/1800 on your workout days, with Body Pump and HITT I guarantee you are way under your BMR. I would strongly suggest, that you eat the 1850 every single day...give me 4 straight weeks of…

WHAT?????? Girl I could just slap you, you are 170ish and wearing SIX'S...YOU ARE ALL MUSCLE!!! You got me WHIPPED!!!! BECCA if you were sitting beside me right now...LOL
-
Ummm, you are lifting heavy...maybe forget the goal "weight" and just shoot for the size...I am finding my original goal "weight" has nothing to do with the size at all when you are lifting heavy!
-
BECCAAAAAAA....YESSSSSS! Whew, to finally grab a hold of that "perspective" makes the scale so less important!!! My goodness, to look in the mirror and see your body literally morphing and clothes getting biggerr and fat disappearing...WHO CARES ABOUT THE SCALE:tongue:
-
Thank you for the request and keep them coming. We are gathering a list and actually creating a website to manage and streamline better. And a part of what we will be doing is more vlogs and doing some together too! HAH! Can't wait for that one...This will surely be one of them!
-
Well, I am truly impressed by those numbers! Now that you are fueling...just wait:wink:
-
Yes absolutely fine...think of the fact that you are eating so much more and you had a slight increase(just the adjustment period we talk about)...your body is wondering are you going to be consistent and holds at first, but in being consistent it will start to let go of the fat...trust me. Feel feel to friend me and take…
-
You got it!
-
I would say stay at moderate and do your cut, if scale isn't budging bump by 100 cals after you waited the 4-6wk time.
-
Matter of fact, when I initially upped my calories, I was so stinkin stuffed most of the time that I didn't even eat all the beloved stuff I binged on before. I almost had an aversion to food because I had to learn how to really eat. So, it took a while before I even desired eating anything too pleasurable...lol. Now...a…
-
Oh my goodness, when you up your calories and you are trying to hit your macros, you remain pretty full and all the binging is really never a problem. Oh not that there won't be days that you may go overboard, but for the most part, you are sated so much of the time (if you are eating your six meals a day and getting in…
-
I think you are the next level up from moderate...my goodness!
-
That is awesome...it is so funny, I think...oh man I am going to splurge, whew I barely hit maintenance... Now that you can eat more...the splurge really isn't a splurge...big difference between 1200 or so cals and 2000...LOVE IT!
-
The great thing about this lifestyle is that it fits "life" in....it is about moderation. Who wants to restrict everything that we love for the rest of our lives...no way. There is not a thing I feel guilty about eating because I can fit anything in my macros. Yes, I am quite health concious about what I eat, but hun I…
-
Yes, that is exactly what I was going to say, with the higher intake, I usually do have a day or 2 per week that I eat more at maintenance and not cut. I just started eating maintenance full time. But previously every 3/4 days I ate a maintence. Remember it is a numbers avg thing going on...think about it, you have your…
-
I removed the calc just for that reason...I found the calculation online and then found that the calculators aren't factoring in the digestion so that was causing confusion. So, Kiki and I agreed to just stick with the Scooby calculator.
-
If you have droid or iphone...get JEFIT app downloaded today! It has a starting lifting routine and a nice db of moves you can add to your workout or build a new one with....it tracks your weights, it times your rest period, and then next lift you know what you did the last time and can go up in weights. A good starting…
-
Yes, eat that amount every single day. The only time you would have to eat more is IF and ONLY IF on high burn days your net calories is less than BMR, then just eat back enough to at least NET BMR. Yes, WEIGHTS rock...I keep taking pics because I want people to see you don't have to cardio yourself to death to get…
-
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
-
Oh no, there are quite a few people on here that have a substantial amount of weight to lose. There is a wonderful video in the top board of this page that talks about whether eating more is for everyone...the answer is yes. Our bodies, regardless of the size requires a certain number of calories to function (BMR) and then…
-
:-) So glad you found this group because the journey doesn't have to be so hard. You shouldn't have guilt either. Your numbers sound right to me...you chose Moderate activity and now it is time to starting eating 15% of that TDEE figure you have there and never feel guilty again.
-
Better to lift on one day and do cardio the next. Usually we suggest 3 days lifting and two days HIIT training for 30min. I tend to use the "strength training" in MFP's db. HRM don't accurately estimate lifting burns. If you used the right activity level (moderae) you shouldnt have to eat any extra cals.
-
I would go with moderate. Is there any way to add some strength training, that will help getting you toned if that is what you are looking for. I would say round to the 1850 and if you start to plateau there, then go to 1900.
-
The way I do it, is to build my menu in the morning so I can play around with my macros to get it in line. I found when I ate first and logged later, then I would be stuck with too much of one thing and needing more cals. Feel free to look at my diary for ideas.
-
Congrats Mike!
-
Yes, moderate indeed!
-
Well, I can only tell you from my experience and training. I am currently going through PT cert myself and the materials I'm studying confirms what we are teaching here ( I started studying for cert after tons of research and starting the group). The book NROLWFW refutes that as well. Oh my on the protein, I'm floored bec…
