I sure wish that I had read this when I first was starting out rather than discovering 106 days later. Fortunately through trial and error and some reasonable advice from other forums I am doing most of what you recommend now. Sadly I didn't take any fat boy pictures at the beginning. More's the pity. This should be a must…

Should have said 45 elliptical

I walked about 8.5 kilometres, did 45 minutes and about 1/2 my ab routine

Kaizen Vanilla Ice Cream flavour

Well that explains why a set of spoons that I bought at Dollarama had a 20ml tablespoon. I threw the set out. Canada has been on the metric system since the mid seventies and a tablespoon has always been 15ml.

You have a lot more faith in the "enlightened consumer" than I do.

Are they open for breakfast, or is that when you are going to have your ice cream B)

The ads empasize the healthy ingredients such as skim milk, hazelnuts and cocoa. To me that is marketing it as a healthy food to feed your children. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbmueS6sHPM

Here is an interesting blog posting from an Australian nutritionist: http://foodwatch.com.au/blog/additives-and-labels/item/nutella-the-full-correct-list-of-ingredients.html

My daughter is addicted to the stuff but I have always found it to be like Sunny D, junk food hyped as healthy. Give me natural nut butters any day.

I am not a "bulker" but to get close to my protein goal I do use a protein powder every morning before I head to the gym.

I was a Meatless Mondays adherent before I started this lifestyle change. My diary is open so feel free to browse my Mondays. Today I am going to try the Chickpea and Rice salad that was featured in the MFP blog early last week. I will probably add smoked tofu to it. I love smoked tofu.

Great progress, stick to it

^^^^^This^^^^ The difference is amazing, but too bad that the weight loss made your hair turn grey ;)

I see someone else asked my question but it hasn't been answered: What is Vanilla Powder?

Two hints, always include USDA in your search and click on the nutrition information link before you choose. This has saved me a lot of correcting later.

Not to rain on your parade but it isn't going to happen. You would need to net 2500 less calories a day than you are presently consuming for the next 4 weeks. Prepare for disappointment!

I hear you OP, I am going through a bit of a flat phase myself right now but also with the warmer weather I am walking a bit more and I have changed my strength training routine. In the Dark Ages (before MFP brought the light of CICO into my life) when I would flatline I would assume that I had lost all I could lose and go…

Dear OP: You are making a classic newbie runner series of mistakes, First and foremost the body needs time to rest. Running daily and sometimes twice a day is over-training unless you are an elite level athlete. Second you have to include leg-work in your strength training routine. Third you have to cross-train as…

I don't track my strength training calorie burn. Even though I use a Polar M400 HRM the calorie results vary too greatly depending how long I rest between sets, the type of exercise I am doing and the weight being lifted.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but there is no substitute for chocolate.

I have to agree with the above. Many things are overpriced and I am not hung up on the organic produce thing. This time of year almost everything is imported to Canada and I don't really trust subsistence farmers in the developing countries to be very strict on their following of organic requirements. When fresh fruits and…
