IIFYM- Need help w/fat intake
I just recently switched to IIFYM and after almost a week I'm having a hard time figuring out foods to fit into my fat/carb ratios. It may be that I'm still so used to simply tracking my calories and not worrying about the other stuff that I haven't gotten the hang of it. However, I've noticed that it's nearly every day…

Changing Goals When Weight Drops
I was just curious when you all update your goals? Do you update for every 10 lbs you lose? Every 5? Or do you keep it the same until you stall and then change? I'm doing a mix of lifting (3-4 times a week) and cardio (4-5 time a week). I have been losing steadily over the past 6 weeks, but I just updated my goals with my…

Bodybuilding.com or Stronglifts 5x5?
Just getting back into lifting... I concentrated on mostly cardio this past summer and fall. I've lifted off and on in the past on my own but now I'm really trying to concentrate on incorporating more of an actual program into my routine, with logs, rather than just random lifting as I feel like it. I have looked at both…

A little NSV
I went to the mall Friday evening and bought a new pair of jeans... granted, they were a different brand and the same size I was wearing at the time that I bought them but when I put them on for the first time last night to actually wear them, they were loose. And it felt great. I might actually be able to go down another…

Daily calories & weight lifting

I've seen in other posts where people say "don't count your calorie burn while lifting b/c it's a different burn vs cardio". I was just wondering what you all do on days that you lift... do you count calories w/an HRM and enter it in your…

Realistic Goal Weight?
I originally set my goal weight to be 137 which is a little more than a 50 pound drop from where I am now. However, I've become more realistic in that I haven't been that low in weight since high school and I probably shouldn't expect to go that low now. So, with the 7 pounds that I've lost so far I decided to make my goal…

3 NSV's in one day!!!
Although it happened this past Saturday, I was unable to post over the weekend. First, I made it to the gym on Saturday at 9:15 for a cycling class. Weekend workouts are HUGE nsv's for me b/c it's so hard to workout during my wkend "me time". I have this mentality that it should be my relaxing time to do what I want but…

TDEE vs MFP daily calorie goal?
I've been reading a lot about one's TDEE and I adjusted my daily MFP calorie intake based upon a site someone posted in a forum.. there were a lot of different factors taken into account on this website so I decided to change my calories based upon that formula (1480/day) rather than what MFP gave me (1200/day). I am not…
