I hope this last
Well I think I may have busted through. After 4 months of trying to figure out how to break the plateau (lasting 5 months), the scale is shifting down (at least for now). Every week I was trying to make adjustments, eat more, exercise more, eat less, exercise less. In the mean time of not losing on the scale, I was losing…

? about weight gain while lifting
Just curious about weight gain while lifting. How much can you gain in water weight from day to day? For example eating at a deficit most of the week. Did two training sessions on Tues and Wednesday and up today by 2 lbs? Is this pretty normal especially if you don't have a rest day. Tuesday was like a work out of the day…

Something trainer wants me to try...thoughts?
Trainer wants me to start cycling calories 2 days at 1558 and 2 days 1841. Switch back and forth. I hope I can do this. Today I am starting with 1841. I am pretty sure I can handle the 1800, but I don't know about dropping back down to 1500. She also wants me to drop my carb intake below 100g a day. She wants me to try…

Strength Training vs Circuit
Not sure if this is the place to post this, but maybe someone can give me a clear answer. Since I have started working with a personal trainer I have added it to MFP under Strength Training. Last night I was looking at Circuit training and it gave me 200+ more calories that I would burn in a 30 minute workout. So which one…

Been here for awhile, just my first post
Been on MFP since March 2011, first just tracking what I ate on a daily basis....didn't get serious until mid-April. Now I am on track. Still have lots to lose.
