I use dumbells with cathe dvds. I use 8,10,15's ( i just didnt bother buying 12s) and i do have 20 but cant lift those yet due to fear of injury :) I want that high rep dvd. I have muscle max and then use fitnessblender.com's workouts (they have some great ones)

wow that is a cool site!

Egg whites, tuna, salmon, protein powder, chicken, ostrim sticks (see vitacost.com for those), quest bars, filet mignon, greek yogurt, chia, oatmeal... all have protein.. see my diary, i was 150-200g all week. I am lowering fat and increasing protein right now. Messing with my macros is the name of my game on a weekly…

I eat tuna and salmon, both canned and wild fresh... and tons of egg whites hardboiled and cooked. I even had egg whites as a side next to some chicken tonight for dinner. I eat ostrim sticks too.. look them up on vitacost.. and jay robb protein low carb low fat.. 25g protein.. good stuff. my protein needs to be very high,…

oh and btw.. I have 10 i need to lose.. or want to lose.. i am 5.2 and 145... need to shed off a few.

How are you guys doing with the the Turbo plan? I am looking back into the carb cycling. I had to take a break for a while and try to fix my metabolism and eat normal calories for a while. I do much better if i lose a bit faster (mentally better lol) so the turbo is what i want to try again. Can I ask how many carbs you…

Do you guys have barbells at home? I am using dumbells. I have 3,5,,10,15 & 20, I have not gotten to my 20s yet though and they are gross metal ones

I was looking at the slow and heavy one, but then realized if i buy that I will want more. The muscle max is pretty good but i am kind of already tired of it LOL. The STS seems complicated for my pea brain.. you have to do all this testing first and I have no patience with much and really want to just keep on cooking with…

I added you, I have been EM2wl for a couple months now, I don't know the exact weeks. I am maintaining within 2-4 lbs at this point and just weigh in weekly.. doing a cut this week to see how welll it works.. was eating 2000-2100 now cut to 1800 this week, next week I will try 1700 which should be a significant cut.

Here is my baking blog, this brownie recipe is very good, my son and husband eat them and ask me to make them all the time. Just browse on here and you will find protein powder recipes I have made. http://keepmethin.blogspot.com/2013/05/peanut-flour-brownies.html here is the direct link to the protein muffins i make and…

Chill with the cardio, do it 2-3 times per week, do some strength training !

I really really want to start lifting. I am trying to make personal training appointments and join a fancy gym this coming month. I am super pumped about lifting soon. I just need someone to show me what to do so I have a plan and help and then can do it on my own, so I will fork out the cash soon for it. I was running…

More? You are a crazy person! lol xoxox Kristen heheeh

Thanks for replying, yes we are similar. I am just an older version LOL ! My fitbit I don't have tracking my workouts, just my everything else... Hiit is difficult to use the fitbit for because its not accurate, so i just estimate it myself as circuit training on mfp, which is "probably" lower than the actual burn. I am…

I am a stay at home mom and work from home part time, i walk about 2 miles every day just around my house according to my fit bit so i burn like just another 140 cals i think.

Thanks Kristen, I did go there and to the goggle docs but it just makes my head spin so I have been using the regular TDEE calculators I find online. I am worried i am eating too much and will gain a lot. Super paranoid over here. I guess I should weigh i, but the reason why I am not is mostly because I don't know WTF I…

Interesting. It may work with greek yogurt blended with fruit, protein powder and a little almond milk... i may try this..

Thank you so far this is the only intelligent comment I have read. Eat real food. period.

I have not being doing funday but if i am extra hungry one day or another usually try to keep it on a HC day, I just eat more and then do a regular day for funday. I have only been trying this for 2 weeks, but lost 3 lbs, so that has to mean something! You are doing fantastic!!

wooohoooooooooooooooooo !! Are you doing regular or turbo or fit cycle??

Awesome, the Salsa chicken is killer.. my husband likes the carnits pork more, but the chicken salsa just simply rocks.

The link to the recipe on my blog. :) http://keepmethin.blogspot.com/2013/05/peanut-flour-protein-muffins.html

I use Dymatize elite gourmet vanilla, it is the best protein powder i have ever had and bakes very well. I do a lot of low carb baking and make protein muffins to eat before i work out (115 cals), I track every bite that goes in my mouth on mfp and have for almost 2 years. I am a newbie to this diet. I am using it to try…

You can friend me, i am just figuring out how to eat on this LC, HC thing. I am use to eating LC like every day so its been a struggle. Check this week for me, i have done pretty good. so far this is kind of how i eat. LC days: B: either yogurt, flaxmeal, gelled chia and berries OR oatmeal shake (chris powell's) L: Big…

I did 1/2 cup cooked rolled oats with 4 oz unsweetened almond milk, 2 packets truvia (i like things sweet!) and then my 1 scoop of vanilla whey with about 2 tsp of pumpkin spice. OMG soooo good. I also did it with cinnamon one day... very good.. then i put my blueberries in it and did that instead.. love the oatmeal…

WHat?? Turbo cycling he is saying isn't calorie restricted? I thought it all was?

Okay this is going to rock, oatmeal with my vanilla whey and blueberries for breakfast. I am going to try to figure this out and do it tomorrow. I read to eat protein first and also to start the diet on a high carb day. I messed that up. So i basically did my cheat day today after my race i was starving so i over ate for…

I read a lot more in his book last night, so everything you are saying is making more sense. I hate not having time to read, but I was able to get some in before I went to sleep last night. Is Oatmeal okay for breakfast as my carb? Or maybe just stick with yogurt and fruit and protein powder? It would still keep me under…

Thank you so much for your input, I am feeling lost after reading the previous statement from you. I thought I read for breakfast and lunch you eat your carbs and then low carb dinner? I guess that is just on high carb days? I need to eat more veggies, i am working on it, Fruit counts too but we only eat those with…

Thanks for your reply. I thought low carb on this plan was 100 or under for carbs and 200g for HC days? I have been doing 100 carbs on low carb day, so that is wrong? I am having a hard time figuring this all out. I have his book and several pages into it, but I don't have a lot of free time to read page to page right now…
