Bison rocks, and if you can keep that ratio perfect I am sooo copying you LOL.

 

[Will2BLean]

Thanks, ladies!!! No alcohol or sugar subs... I'm practically a new woman! LOL!!

ck, it's not putting the food into fitday and getting the ratios that I have problems with... it's me eating stuff that wasn't on my plan to begin with.

I will not eat anything for the rest of the day. At least my calories are still within the cutting range. Ugh. I'm so mad at myself. I WILL do better tomorrow!

I felt hungry from the time I ate my salad until now. and I'm still hungry.

Hey W2BL! Regarding the above, I want to tell you from personal experience that if you are hungry, to just eat a little more, but keep it clean (protein + fat works well usually). Otherwise, somewhere or somehow, a breakdown will happen and you'll end up eating crap as a result. Just a word of warning

Nice job on the alcohol and diet coke ban I KNOW you can do it if you put your mind to it. It's all ultimately in the head.

Thanks for the tip, RT!! I'll keep that in mind the next time I want to bite of my arm for a snack.

So far the no alcohol/soda thing has been easier than I thought! This weekend will be the test!

I second this motion

Thanks, T & RT! It's so hard to get out of the "don't eat" mentality when you're trying to lose BF... Good thing you gals are here to set me straight!

I'm going to bump my cals up to right below 12x my bodyweight, and I think I will pick up some Zone bars (or something similar) that are at about 100 cals for emergency use only.

I know not everyone is the same - but from your pics, you look like a leaner girl who could use some muscle definition which is similar to me. And I can tell you that for me, since mid-nov (almost 8 wks now) that I've been eating about 300-400 cals more per day. I haven't seen any real weight gain on the scale and instead I look tighter, have more energy, my lifting has improved and I have no desire to binge. When I am hungry, I'm very satisfied with a little bit of cottage cheese with some nuts (protein + fat).

The reason I may not have gained scale weight could also be because now that I'm eating properly to fuel myself with good foods, I no longer am tempted to do larger cheats etc. So basically before, I was eating 10-12x my bodyweight (which isn't a lot when you weigh what I do) and then screwing myself up with my weekly cheats. Now I eat 15x my bodyweight with clean and nutritionally dense foods and don't cheat unless I have to because some social situation absolutely calls for it.

I guess my point is don't be scared to eat a little more. Try it out for 2-3 weeks, see how it works out for you and then make the necessary changes....sure beats wanting to gnaw your limbs off!
