Good luck to you all but you do realize that you don't need to burn this much to burn fat and lose weight, correct? Heavy lifting 3 times a week with moderate cardio (20-30 mins) 2-3 times a week, 2 rest days, 10-20% deficit under TDEE and hitting your macros [40/30/30 is a great ratio] is all you need :smile: Don't kill…

There is a great article in the March Runners World entitled "Running On Empty." Read it. I do not suggest dropping your calories drastically. Food is fuel. If you eat a couple hundred (100-200) under TDEE you will automatically be at a deficit to lose weight .

This. I don't agree with Whey. You're better off eating lean meats for protein

:laugh:

I eat carbs. I eat from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. I eat between 1500-2000 calories or more. Read my profile. Send me a request if interested.

I bet your LBM is low

Those who are only eating 1200 calories per day are just setting themselves up for misery and health issues down the road, not to mention, a shot metabolism! http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981 READ UP!

This.

Shrugs, Deadlifts, Military Press, Arnold Press, Dips, Bicep curls

I wouldn't want to be caught dead in a bikini let alone a one piece suit. :laugh:

I vote this to be a must read sticky

AGREED. Love C.H :)

Mine is around 1 - 1.5 x Lean Body Mass (114 lbs). My intake per day is roughly 127 grams

I did kettlebell deadlifts.... I want someone to come to NJ and make sure I am doing it right!!!!!

I have to agree. Why ask when you are already set on what you want to do? I think you will find more cons thans pro's on the calorie restriction. Anyone who has ever posted in these forums saying, "I am eating 1000 calories and the weight was coming off nicely! Now, I gained 15 pounds in a month! Help!" have turned to…

Have you tried 3-5DAYSOFACTIVITY and IFITFITSMYMACROSEATIT ?? 48.5 lbs down in 8 months on those! They come in delicious flavors like pizza, dark chocolate, taco's and cheesecake! By the way, I have premature ovarian failure. I was told that I couldn't lose the weight on diet and exercise alone. Obviously, diet and…

Psh, I wouldn't mind it ONE BIT if my boyfriend was ripped like MFP member Matt_Wild. :blushing:

If I had her legs, I probably would never have a running injury ever again!!!! I am so pumped for my next strength training session!

I second this!

I started at 207 and I am currently 159. My goal is to get to 153 but I'd really like to be between 140-147. If I get to 153 and I look great after weight lifting, I am staying there. :) Before and current

Great job friend! :)

Best of luck to you. I am trying to run a half marathon April 1st but injury may prevent me from doing so.

My cup size didn't change. I went from a 40B to a 36B. However, from all the weight loss and weight gain, my boobs do not look that great. Would love to get surgery but I am afraid :cry:

Do we not remember Oprah Winfrey when she did a liquid only diet?? From liquid dieting to eating... liquid to eating... you gain it all back!

You know how the tooth fairy leaves us a shiny dollar when we lose our baby teeth? The fat loss fairy comes and sprinkles magic dust on our scales to make the number go down! Shhhhhhh!! :wink: In all seriousness, xraychick has the simplest correct answer!

My new running song is: Starships - Nikki Minaj

Eating 10- 20% under TDEE , your body will be awake 24/7.

Running a 10 mile race this day :( Damn!

This.

This is a great way to injure yourself. Just saying...
