Living with negative comments...
I have people making jokes about my weight loss and fitness, telling me I’ll blow away in a light breeze, and am too skinny, etc. Very annoying, especially when I’m not even talking about my fitness journey much to anyone. Guess it’s something i have to live with. Anyhow, I’m proud of my accomplishments. Down 35lbs and BF…

You are ALL Amazing!
Yesterday I was reflecting on how far I’ve come I’m in just 8 months. Then I began thinking about my MFP community as well. My MFP friends and many of you share their journey to a healthier lifestyle every day. And....it’s not easy, right. Many of us thought about what we “should be” eating or that we “should be”…

Carb Cycling - Support?
So I’ve plateau’d finally after hitting my goal weight in November. BF and muscle mass hard to move right now. So I’m going to carb cycle during recomp and have been doing research. Does this look correct? Weight about 160 and BF at 15%. Added my maintenance calories and then a surplus on lifting days. Any help would be…

You vs. You! Be the best version of yourself!
I’m posting my 7mo progress pic here in hopes to help some people turn their “should” into their “must”. For seven months prior to June 26, 2018...I told myself I “should” get in shape, I “should” work out, I “should” change my nutrition. Until that day, it was always a should. There was always some lame reason to NOT do…

Carb Cycling? Any experts out there?
So I hit my goal weight a month ago and I would still like to lose some more BF, by focusing on small gains through carb cycling. I’m not going crazy and my maintenance cals are about 1,800 / day. On days I cycle carbs, I’m targeting 2,000 cals. My carb goals are about 150g on non-workout days and 200g on workout days.…

Eating my macros...what a difference!
So I’m about 7 months in and two months ago I hit my goal weight, or so I thought. However my secondary goal was to reach 15% BF. I was at 17% when I reached my goal weight. In researching MFP and other outlets, I read how important the right macro split is for each individual. So about two weeks ago I started focusing on…

Body Fat Reduction / Getting There
Wanted to share this. Always looking for extra tips as well. When I decided in June to get healthy, weight loss was a good part of the equation, but Body Fat Reduction was #1. So fast forward to today, full month #5 and my BF % continues to drop!!! I am so excited over this. Hit goal weight a month ago and the BF still…

Body Fat Reduction / Timing?
So I’m looking for some insight. When I started almost six months ago I had three goals. 1) Get healthy (BP, sugar, cholesterol) 2) Cut weight (about 30 lbs) 3) Achieve 15% BF Now I’m 46 YO and the first two goals, I’m proud to say, I’ve crushed in about 5 months. And my BF % today just hit 16.8%. Down from 24% when I…

What it took to jump start my journey...
So I’m 46 YO and I have had the benefit of being lean most of my life. In college, I committed to a healthier lifestyle, ate a ton of carbs and worked out almost daily. Once life started (real life, like work and family), I stopped the exercise and really didn’t track a healthy nutrition plan. So I put on about 35 pounds…
