Same Weight, Tighter Pants
I'm about 1/2 way through stage 3 and not totally new to lifting. I am eating based on the calculations in the book, taking off the 300/per day for weight loss. I am happy tih my calories right now, never get too hungry or feel run down and I recover pretty well from my workouts. I haven't lost any weight since starting…

Not fighting anymore
It's so nice to no longer feel like trying to get in shape and lose weight is a fight between "me" and my body. I am no longer fighting hunger, tiredness, soreness or burn out on a daily basis. I no longer feel that every ounce of weight I lose is a victory in a war because, I honestly would not care less about what the…

Diet break...What do you eat?
I am starting my diet break today. Going out for anniversary dinner tonight, so I won't have a problem filling my calories tonight, but I am thinking about the rest of the week. I am starting the heavy phase of Chalean Extreme tomorrow, so I am considering just adding a 250 calorie protein shake on those days, which will…

"Diet Break" Question
I have been doing EM2WL for going on 6 weeks now, and I am wondering if I need to do a diet break. I usually have one day every week or week and a hal when I eat over my cut and sometimes up to my TDEE. Will that alone serve as a diet break, or should I give it a full week at or near TDEE. I have not lost much weight in…

Literally JUST joined and a few ??s
So, I am thinking this might be just what I need. I am up about 7lbs from what I was a year ago (I am 5'3" so that is kind of a lot) I got off track a little with my eating and working out and gained a couple of pounds last fall and once I got back into working out and watching my food after the holidays, I couldn't seem…

Body Fat Analyzer Accuracy?
I bought an Omron body fat analyzer, mostly just to keep track of how I am doing with Chalean Extreme. It told me I have either 16.9% BF in normal mode or 17.9% in athlete mode, which I should be using according to my activity level. I am just wondering if anybody has any insight into the accuracy of these things. Like I…

Best shape ever!
I have decided that I am now in the best shape I have ever been in in my life. I did 30 Day shred today just to see how hard it would be. A couple of years ago, I thought I was in good shape and attempted to do 30 DS and it killed me. I could not even get all the way through level 1 and was sore for days afterwards. Today,…

Any registered dietitians on here?
I am seriously considering a career as a dietitian. I am just looking to find out a little about it. What do you love or hate about your job? How hard is the internship, and how hard is it to actually get accepted into an internship? I would really love to either work with children or work in the fitness nutrition field. I…

Taking more rest days?
I am super busy lately, and will be for the next month or so. The last couple of weeks I have been needing more rest days than usual, not because of time constraints, but because of lack of energy. I get plenty of sleep most nights, but it seems like by Friday I am so exhausted that I have no energy to workout all weekend,…

Ladies: Ovulation and Cardio Performance?
I was not able to finish my workout today. About halfway through, I got a pounding headache, dizziness and nausea. My body felt more than just heavy, more like my arms and legs were moving through concrete. This is not a new or harder workout than I have done before. My heart rate was not abnormally elevated either. I am…

Ran a mile today
I ran a whole mile today at 5mph on the treadmill. I finished my Turbo Fire HIIT workout and felt like it was too easy/short so I hopped on the treadmill. I did not even feel like I was going to die, either. I give all the credit to Turbo Fire, I haven't even been on the treadmill for about 4 weeks and the last time I ran,…

Anybody else hate running?
I have finally come to the terms with the fact that I am just not a runner. Every time I have tried to get into shape before, I would start running, keep up with it for 3-4 months, then burn out and stop working out. I just get so bored with the repetitive motion of running, it does not hold my attention AT ALL. I have now…

NSV: Exercise Cravings
I think I am at the point now where I feel crappy if I don't workout. Every morning when I get up I am so irritable and little things really tick me off. As soon as I work out for the day, I feel soooo much better. My mood instantly improves and it almost feels like I can breathe again. That's a good thing, right?

Should I increase my calories?
So...I have been MFP'ing since January and only lost about 3.5 lbs. I have toned up a lot and I know I have lost fat and gained muscle. I only need to lose 5-10 more lbs and probably not even that much, I really need to just shed some fat and gain more muscle. I just started Turbo Fire today and burned 480 calories doing…

Turbo Fire Anybody?
Starting turbo Fire Next week and just wondering if anybody else is too. I think having a support group with people all on the same week would be nice.
