Well done Mrs B
Great jobHere's a comparison picture (best photo I could find for the before). On the left, last summer and around 190-195 pounds. On the right, today and 165 pounds. I really see the difference when I see it side by side. I've basically lost the weight of one of my kids.
OMGosh, look at you! Excellent! Keep going!Here's a comparison picture (best photo I could find for the before). On the left, last summer and around 190-195 pounds.

Working out makes me ravenous. I usually do a smoothie with peanut butter after a hard workout. I'll eat small blander snacks before a workout (granola bar, banana) and they seem to keep me from burping. But if I eat something with a lot of flavor, I'm burping tacos during cardio.
I have been upping the protein in the morning-2 boiled eggs and a 30 gram bar and it keeps me full for a few hours but I still eat my lunch at 9:30 because if I eat at 11 then at 12 when I start kicking into overdrive then I keep burping the food. so for now I am hungry at 1:30 after my workout which is perfect-I eat protein.
So this weekend I plan on using the crockpot even though Jon wants to go to Applebees. He has already shed the 15 lbs he has been wanting to shed. He walks the neighborhood and cut back on cookies etc. He now weighs less than I do but I am ok with it. I told him in a year maybe I can pick him up and sling him over my shoulder
Definitely easier for us guys, not sure why, but yeah I just need a little deficit and weight melts down, if I do deficit only now and then I loose weight even faster.Working out makes me ravenous.

And I think *most* men lose weight a lot faster than women. Our metabolisms work differently than them. I've seen a guy drop like 15 lbs and tone up in a month by just cutting out fast food and working out, seems to work a little slower for women.
I strongly recommend strength training-you can do a lot with 5lb hand weights. If you are not familiar with weight exercises-there are a few workouts on youtube I highly recommend-one is GymRa and Melissa Bender-they have some great workouts-or fitness blender also has many specific target workouts. You don't need fancy equipment=you can learn yoga body weight exercises that are just as hard as some of the other ones.Hi all, I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks, I an 5'4 and stuck at 132, I want to get down to 125 pounds. It's in possible. I am eating healthy and exercising 6 days a week. How can i lose these 7 pounds??
Did you adjust your caloric deficit as you lost weight? You now weigh less so you need to eat even less. You can still overeat healthy foods. Are you drinking enough water and getting enough rest? These are simple things that people tend to overlook. Keep going. The last few pounds are really hard to budge. You can do it though. Stay strong.Hi all, I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks, I an 5'4 and stuck at 132, I want to get down to 125 pounds. It's in possible. I am eating healthy and exercising 6 days a week.

Males lose weight faster than females due to hormones. Males naturally have a higher muscle mass than females and can increase muscle mass much faster than females. It is usually recommended that males eat no less than 1800 calories per day and females eat no less than 1200 calories per day when dieting.Definitely easier for us guys, not sure why, but yeah I just need a little deficit and weight melts down, if I do deficit only now and then I loose weight even faster
You need to adjust your calories and movement. I would go to a site like MyFitnessPal or Calorie Count and have you calories adjusted. I know for every ten pounds Myfitnesspal will ask you to do it. It's real easy. Also the less weight you need to lose the longer it takes. I have lost 60 some pounds since January but I was close to 300 when I started. It's going to take time and patience but if you do it right it will come off.Hi all, I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks, I an 5'4 and stuck at 132, I want to get down to 125 pounds. It's in possible.

I think it is kind of unfair, I mean if I would be a girl, I wouldn't had lost much weight at all yet, failing to stick on diet should have more punishment for us guys, that would make it more fair! :lol3:Males lose weight faster than females due to hormones.

You are right it is unfair the difference in weight loss in men and women. Me I watch every calorie that goes in and it hard when I really want to pig out on that bag of chips or candy bar. But I want those smaller clothes also. So I don't. Then my SO is 46 years old, 6 foot tall and wears the same size he did in high school. He has set down and ate two Grand Mac's a Large fries and a Large drink. Grand Macs are twice the size of a regular Big Mac. They are 755 calories a piece So he ate more in one sitting than I do all day.I think it is kind of unfair, I mean if I would be a girl, I wouldn't had lost much weight at all yet, failing to stick on diet should have more punishment for us guys, that would make it more fair!
But at least those last few pounds are quite hard to get rid of, at least for me that is, so there is some justice at least!
