Skipping a meal to eat more later?
What is the general consensus on skipping one meal because you know or want to take in more calories in another meal? Meaning today I'm skipping breakfast because we are going to lunch and I will eat basically the same calories at this lunch or close to it as if I ate lunch. I only ask because "skipping meals" is a bad…

I am, apparently a clown. Lost 130lbs, and put every single pound back on in the last two years.
Welcome to the circus! Just need to vent this out, as.... I don't really know where to vent it out at. myfitnesspal was absolutely instrumental in getting into the best shape of my life (also a lot of weight lifting and martial arts). It took me around 2-3 years to go from 315lbs to 185lbs. I mean, things I'm sure were…

Reflections: How my week went
I’m just starting out...week #2 on MFP. I’m down about 7 pounds since this picture, but I posted the picture because it reflects my starting point and shows just how addicted I am to junk food. I feel ashamed of myself that I’ve let myself get to this point, but part of facing that shame is to shed light on it. Posting…

Lifting throughout the day
I've been reading about "Greasing the Groove" and I was curious if that could be beneficial to do with all weight lifting. So, for example, every time I go in my basement, I do a set (or more) of bench press or whenever I go upstairs, I do a set of Lunges. Would that provide the same benefit as doing 30min or so of a…

Negative Effects of Too Much Daily Intense Exercise
Thought this summary was really interesting. Especially the drastic change between 90 minutes (great!) and 152 minutes (not so good). I do a lot of interval training, and rarely go as long as 90 minutes. And because it’s interval training, it’s not all intense. https://apple.news/AcL65unUjR9ilQW1mdAALZA PS I found the…

FASHIONISTAS ~ Using FASHION as motivation?
One thing I have noticed is that if I hightail it to my closet as soon as I start feeling the need to nosh (munch snacks) in the evenings, I can start trying on clothes and the next thing I know, I have lost the desire to munch. It makes me feel so happy! And then instead of gaining or not losing, I get a little more…

Supplement recommendations for fatigue?
I got my Covid vaccine (Astra Zeneca) over a week ago now, I can only assume a side effect of that has been fatigue as I had been fine previously. It is going away gradually but I am sick of just dragging my *kitten* through the day with little to no energy. I phoned my Doctor who told me yes uncommon but this does happen.…
