1. Drink more water
2. Get more sleep

    Don't go over your calorie limit. Even if that chocolate cake on the breakroom table is super pretty.

    Otherwise, I'm good.

    Oh that one applies to me too! ( 3 times a day is where I am currently at and the flucuations can do my head in, I only record once a week and that number is always a loss, if I only stepped on them once I would be so much happier!!)

    Exercise daily, even if it's just a walk.
    Eat clean, give up unhealthy snacks and junk food.
    Give up starbucks, fattening coffee creamers, and baked treats

    1. Definitely get more sleep (It's 12:58am MDT. Studying for a midterm that I should have had all nicely set out a week ago. :yawn: )

    2. Don't push yourself too hard if you're just starting out/are in pain. (Hurt my knee because I wasn't used to strenuous exercise)

    3. Don't eat in front of any screens. (Mindless eating. :sick: )

    4. Drink more water. (I never remember to bring my water bottle with me to Uni)

    5. Eat as regularly as possible. (I tend to have a small breakfast, skip lunch, large snack when I get home, medium sized dinner, medium sized snack, small snack. Which is bad. :P I either overeat or under eat by a fair bit)

    I'm guilty of number 3 lol, but I do portion out my snacks for the game/tv program I intend on watching and pew log them so I know I can eat the amount in front of me lol

    Eat Clean
    Drink more water
    Exercise/strength train more *i do walk 4 miles a day*
    Don't look at the numbers on the scale and be disappointed
    Probably get more sleep!

    Eating cleaner is definitely my number 1 though, when its only me to feed i find it hard to stay away from the microwave meals :(

    It's outdated misinformation is all. I eat right before bed, it hasn't hurt me one bit, as a matter of fact it's 12:10 and I'm about to eat in a little bit then go to sleep.

    Fairly curious myself. Last I had heard, the whole 'night eating makes you fat' stuff had been totally debunked, so long as that food still fit into your daily intake requirement.

    Admittedly, eating late can screw with some people's sleep, and in those cases, it should be avoided.

    the carbs and late night thing doesn't make any sense to me either!

    If I stop eating before 8pm I usually just wake up at like 5am starving. I'd rather eat later and sleep in otherwise breakfast is early, lunch is early and I snack all afternoon waiting for dinner

    carbs help brain function, they are important :)

    No idea, but it's what "they" always say (I'm reading a book called "Lose the last five kilos" - I think I might throw it out the window!

    I always heard it was because you don't burn calories while you're sleeping. But I always eat at night. In fact the only time I dont' eat is when I'm sleeping! I like to have a variety of small things throughout the day and I've had luck doing that over the not eating because of what time it is thing because smy body isn't starving when I wake up or go to sleep.

    Sadly, some books serve best as overpriced window props.
