79lbs lost, whole new person.
ost I've lost weight on a high fat, high protein lifestyle change! I cut out dairy, most gluten (not all), non organic meats, and heavy starches! My diet has consisted of a lot of organic eggs, venison, chicken, nuts, nut butters, olive oil, coconut oil, pure dark chocolates, avacados, salmon, and vegetables. I eat fruit…

No idea how my macros should look. Help!!!
I really need some guidance. My macros today are: 35% carbs, 36% fat, and 28% protein. My fats are coming from peanut butter, whey protein, 90% cocoa, and a cup of whole milk for a protein shake in the am. My carbs are coming from brown rice, and vegetables for lunch before my workout. I'm at 2,060 calories at 5'9 1/2…

How many calories should I be eating a day?
I'm 5'9 170lbs with a pretty athletic build. I was 249lbs and lost all of the weight on a 1200 calorie diet, but now I'm trying to build muscle and bulk. I don't have loose skin etc, I really just want to build up my muscles! 1200 calories no longer seems like enough for me with the heavy weight training I'm doing. I run…

Getting back on track.
I've been horribly sick for a week, and I've definitely fallen off the wagon in the mean time. Between canned soups and sandwiches and ginger ale, I've been way over my calorie goal and way under my nutritional goals. Tomorrow is the start of a new week and I know it'll be hard to get back on track. I've gained 5lbs. Any…

Does where your calories come from make a difference?
Say I eat the same amount of calories in a giant salad as I would a slice of pizza, does it affect my weight loss if I eat the pizza? From my understanding, as long as you are at a deficit you're good. I've just noticed lately that when I eat pizza or a hamburger if I'm still within my calorie goal for the day, not only do…

Target weightloss
Hey everyone :) I eat 100% clean 6 days out of the week, allowing one day to be a complete cheat day without counting calories. Meaning, I eat whatever I'm hungry for without feeling bad about it and I don't work out that day either. I've lost 51lbs and I'm 5'9 1/2 and staggering between 160-170lbs. Lately, I haven't been…

Protein bars.
Does anyone have a good protein bar recipe? Must be low in sugar, high in protein, and under 250 calories. The ones I usually buy are 190 calories, 21g of protein, and less that 2grams of sugar. I'm on a budget so I'd like to find a good recipe! Thank you!

Hip pain.
I run a lot. Every day between 6-10 miles. Lately I've been experiencing hip pain that feels like a pinched nerve. I'm not over weight, but hip problems do seem to run in the family. Could it be an over use injury? Should I take a day or two to rest, or push through it? Any ways to help it to feel better? Thank you!

Taking pre workout before cardio.
I'm really into pre workout; it gets me pumped and gives me a massive boost of energy to get an intense workout in. I was chatting with a friend and he told me not to take preworkout before cardio bc it can cause a heart attack. I'm curious as to if anyone has any info on this. I take psychotic by insane labz, switched…

Healthy dinner ideas.
I'm getting so bored with the food I've been eating that now I just don't even want to eat! Lol breakfast is usually egg whites and cooked vegetables or protein pancakes, lunch is a big salad with my source of protein, but I need different dinner ideas. I try to keep the majority of my carbs before 3pm, so meals with a lot…

Recovering from a massive cheat weekend.
Okay soooo, plain and simple, I had two massive cheat days this weekend. Pizza, cake, bacon, and everything that I basically haven't been eating for a couple of months. I gained 9lbs in 2 days, no joke. It kinda feels like the end of the world right now. How do I recover from this? A *kitten* ton of water? Fast for a day?…

Christmas dinners.
What's everyone's plan for Christmas dinner? Are you planning to eat in moderation and stay within your calorie goal, or are you using it as a cheat day? My problem is my gram. She cooks with a lot of butter. Lmao. A scoop of her mashed potatoes is probably 600 calories alone. I'm just now really trimming down. My abs are…

Why am I losing inches but not weight?
My weight has been the same for 2 weeks. I've been doing intense workouts every day. I'm losing inches but not weight. Why?

When to take rest days
I usually run 4-6 miles per day, but today my hip/inner thigh is killing me. I stretch properly and my balance during running is well maintained. Is this my body telling me I need to take a day to rest? How often should I be taking rest days?

Weight stand still.
So in February I started a vigorous workout regime and lost 55lbs. I'm 5'9 and was at 150lbs by June. I traveled all around the world this summer and enjoyed the many foods from different cultures and gained 30-40lbs! I had a ton of fun but now I'm ready to get back to the shape that was in. I lost my abs, and I've got…

Protein bars and pre workout recommendations
I'm taking a trip to gnc tomorrow and would love some recommendations for some good preworkouts. I'm currently taking bpi sports 1.m.r vortex preworkout powder. It gives me energy but not as much as I'd expect and it makes me have a hard time sleeping at night even if I take it in the morning! I eat a mission 1 pure…

The stubborn 20
I have 20 more pounds to lose by July 16th. Since giving birth I've lost 80lbs, but these last 20 are just being stubborn! My body has toned up nicely- no excess skin or anything of the sort, but I still have a little stomach and a big booty. I'm eating a lot of protein, vegetables and fruits. The only sweet thing I eat is…

Booty
i've lost nearly 60lbs and my body has toned up nicely. The only thing that is still huge is my butt. My waist is tiny and then I just have a huge amount of a*s. Lol I have a really important call back for a modeling agency in July and I'd just like to tone it down a bit. I'm not sure that they appreciate my curves. Any…

When is it okay to have a "treat"?
This may go down as the most stupid question ever asked on here, but when is it okay to have a treat such as chocolate, cupcake, or a cookie? Can you have one every day as long as you stay within your calorie goals? I'm burning nearly 1000 calories per day with exercise alone. When it's that dreaded time of the month for…

215lbs to 175lbs. Pay attention to inches!
This was me at 215lbs, if not more. My highest weight was 225lbs. At 5'10 I can carry more weight than most women and still look healthy, but 225lbs was in no way healthy. My boyfriend had passed away, I was an emotional eater, and I totally let my body spiral out of control. With healthy eating and daily exercise, and the…

Clif bars?
are these good or bad? Sometimes I will eat one to cure cookie/cake cravings-but they are really high in calories. Around 240-260 I believe. Thoughts?

Whole wheat pita pockets?
I've completely cut breads from my diet for about 3 months now, but I miss sandwiches. These are low fat and 140 calories I think. I've heard mixed feed back on wheat bread bc of "wheat belly". To eat them or to keep all breads out of my diet? Thoughts?

Leaning out?
I've been hitting the cardio pretty hard lately, which has really been doing wonders for my stomach. I'd like to really crack down on my diet and "lean out" as my friends call it. A lot of my guy friends are really muscley and they often say they are "leaning out" and eating really clean. I can always notice a difference…

Soreness
does anyone have days where they are just too sore to work out? I'm a runner and I run every night. Yesterday was no different and I woke up so sore this morning I couldn't even lift a leg over a kiddy gate. Lol do you all push through it or take a day off?

Skinny chocolate
has anyone ever tried this? It is ahh-mazing! You melt coconut oil, cocoa powder, and honey into a pot and then pour it into a tart pan. Refridgerate for one hour and they are ready to go. I've been replacing all sweets with one of these if I have a craving and I'm losing weight like crazy. Worth a try for yall! ;)

Totally helps me stay on track with my exercise regime. Since using this religiously for the past month and a half, I've lost, waiiitttt for…

Is it normal to gain four lbs in one day?
My weight seems to fluctuate terribly. My weight will fluctuate four to five pound from one day to the next. I'm burning six hundred calories a day with cardio and doing small amounts of weight training, along with a strict diet! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. The only junk I eat is an occasional protein bar.
