    Nothing processed. Stick to real foods. For fitness it must be a form of exercise you enjoy otherwise you will not stick with it.

    I don't understand why the food side has a different focus than the exercise side? I found I like running, so I run. I also found I don't like to skip pizza, hamburgers, ice cream etc. so I eat them, withing my calorie goals. I wouldn't last on a diet of "real food" (whatever that is), so I don't try.

    It was a big eye opener for me to realize I didn't need to eat what I call "rabbit food" to lose weight. I could eat more or less (usually less) of what I wanted with a focus on calories and protein and lose weight just fine. Yes, I've added more veggies and less potato chips, but it's not a one or the other option for me.

    Great point, @tacklewasher.

    Enjoy your exercise, but not your food?!? :/

    Or enjoy both and do both in moderation. :)

    Yeah, but you're a filthy eater.......

    BTW, I wouldn't say what you do for exercise is done in moderation. I seen the videos of you lifting and there is nothing "moderate" about it. You frikken kick *kitten* and take names.

    I knew I recognized you from somewhere; you're the Bear fan with the Samoa pie. That is so insanely awesome looking. Would you be willing to share the recipe?
    Just remember, Packer fans are people too.

    Probably coming across "Flexible dieting" when I first started using MFP. That has got me a long way.

    Less is more.

    If you notice your own results day to day, you're going to fast and bound to come undone.
