New here - think I may be undereating?
I am 26, 136lbs/21% body fat at 5'4, eat 1750 calories (fat loss calculation) and have lost around 2kg over the past few months (plus 4% body fat + inches). My weight loss has been stuck at 62kg for a few weeks now so a few weeks ago I decided to have a deload/rest week from lifting heavy weights. I ate at 1750 that week…

Struggling to stick to cutting calories!
I am a Personal Trainer and have been doing IIFYM for 6 weeks now (looking to lose 10lbs). I exercise 6 days per week for 60 minutes (weight training with some cardio between sets) but I struggle to stick to 1700 calories per day. It feels like I am always hungry. Any tips to stop the hunger? My cut isn't going very well…

Hi everyone! I am not new to this type of lifestyle, but I thought I would share my progress picture with you.

Plateaued for a year now.. possibly the contraceptive pill?
I have been gaining and losing the same 5lbs for a year now and it is starting to get very frustrating. I am also not losing body fat - I bounce between 20-22% and cannot get below it. I am 5'3, 134lbs (healthy weight) but I cannot for the life of me get under 130lbs or 20% body fat. I have tried eating at TDEE, eating at…

Cannot lift..
I have had an elbow injury for 7 weeks now and I went to the doctor today as it isn't getting better and he thinks it is tendonitis so it looks like I am going to be out of action with the weights for at least another 6+ weeks. I can only do lower body that doesn't involve holding weights - barbell squat, barbell lunge,…

Did a diet break/exercise break get you past a plateau?
I am wondering if I should take a diet and exercise break for a week. I have been stuck at this weight and body fat for what seems like months now and I just got a fitbit which shows that I have been under eating (have been eating around 1800 and I should have been eating 2000-2200). I want to lose another 2-4% body fat to…

Got a fit bit - looks like I've been under eating! Help!
I just got my fitbit and it is giving me a higher calorie burn than scooby.. And that is without exercise! Scooby gives me 2200 calories for maintenance exercising 3-5 days per week. I have been wearing the fit bit and haven't been exercising and my calorie burn is around 2200-2500. When i Track it with exercise that means…

NSV!
My husband and I went out for dinner tonight so I grabbed a nice pair on jeans that I have had stashed away for a few years (as they never fit me), tried them on and not only did they fit, they were a bit loose! Ahhh I am so excited! Even though the scale hasn't moved much, I am getting thinner - and I love it! This…

NSV - Body fat!
I take my body fat every two weeks. Two weeks ago I was at 21.3% body fat, today I was 20%. The scale may not be moving much, but it is definitely working! And for those that want to take your body fat at home, I recommend the Omron Body Fat Monitor - it works great and is only about $40?

Better results from body pump vs lifting heavy?
I'm not sure why, but I always seem to get better results from higher reps vs lifting heavy with lower reps. Is anyone else this way. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE lifting heavy, but I just don't get results from it like I do with programs like body pump. Anyone else?

Rest week and eating at TDEE week?
So every 4-6 weeks you take a rest week and eat at TDEE. My question is, do you do both on the same week or different weeks? My rest and TDEE week are both going to be around the same time and I am unsure what to do.. I was thinking a rest week for week 5 and eat at TDEE for week 6? Thoughts?

On holiday - increase to TDEE?
I am about to go on holiday, but I have a question. I have been eating at cut for 2 weeks so far, obviously I want to enjoy my holiday so do I increase to eat at TDEE or try and stick with a cut?

Woohoo!
Started the cut on Sunday and this morning I weighed in and am down 3lbs! Most of it is probably water weight but still! Before starting cut I was eating low cal (1400ish) and I went straight to cut at 1850. I don't have much weight to lose - I am 130lbs, want to get to 125ish. I just wanted t tell you that it works and to…

Still hungry?
I am eating 1850 calories per day for a 15% cut. I just started last week after being on 1400 cal per day. At the beginning it was having trouble eating enough and now I seem to be hungrier! Is this normal? When will it go away? I could eat all day! I'm pretty sure yesterday I ate like 2500 calories... Help! I thought I…
