It varies. Generally at least one long day (hiking or walking at least 8 miles). Other than that it could be step aerobics/exercise cycle, stairs, and/or strength workout. Say anything between 3-5 days a week.

Under "cardiovascular " there is "aerobics, step" I believe there's two categories depending how high your step is.

I do step workouts. The aerobics and up/down movements help my hiking.

I'm curious what a pedometer would say on your work days. Maybe you're hungrier on work days because you're burning more calories.

Any baked goods from Starbucks. The old coffee cake was basically a meal in itself.

Hiking. Burns a bunch of calories and let's me see places 99.9 % of the population will never see.

Typically 3 meals plus one or two snacks. When on a hike it's breakfast, graze throughout the day, and a large dinner.

It helps to keep a midterm fitness goal in mind (e.g. running a half marathon or hiking, say, the Grand Canyon.) That gives something to focus on and reminds you why you lost the weight in the first place.

70 days. Broken by backpacking in the Grand Canyon out of Web access.

Just use the one for 15 pounds. It can't be that far off.

When you eat out, ask for your to go box with your meal. Put half your meal in the to go box before you start eating and then put the box out of sight.

I see fluctuations. Sometimes there's ups and downs, and sometimes there's a steady trend. I use daily weighing to catch adverse trends early before they cause too much damage.

One thing weight watchers has (or at least had when I was on it) is weekly points, on top of the daily allowance. This allows a cushion for things like birthday parties and office lunches out, while still giving a reality check against binging. I'm trying something like that here, by trying to come in about 100 calories…

Had a fitbit charge HR for a while before it fell apart on me. Pros: nice seeing calorie burn, steps, stairs, etc. all in one go. Nice to have activity tracked for you. Cons: heart rate monitor wasn't good at registering peak heartrates (apparently something inherent to wrist-based heart monitors), tracker could register…

Most days. Once a week is not often enough to catch a creeping weight gain in good time.

1. Don't keep the bad stuff in the house, your office, or your car. Don't go down certain food aisles 2. When you have time make meals ahead and portion them out so you have something to eat when you don't have time. Freeze some portions so you have something to eat when you've run out of stuff in the fridge. 3. Maybe once…

Yep same problem here.

oatmeal with honey, cinnamon, and milk; apple; orange; and coffee with milk and a bit of sugar.

Wonder if you could plan on entering a dance contest or something like that several months down the road. Having a goal in mind can keep a person motivated.

What the others said. Sesame oil, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, pepper--maybe some lemon if I'm doing chicken.
