Everyone is always asking for motivation on here. Be careful what you wish for!

I'll probably catch some flame for this for not being all scientific, but I'm just starting out with running again too and I've been very happy with my asics. I'm wearing the gel cumulus model, but I've worn others. Their sole design doesn't seem to change much from model to model. It's really just preference on how the…

@Alatariel75 I wasn't sure how to use the meal feature, so that helps. It sounds like your way would save me all the steps of diving through my diary to find the last time I did whatever and copying. I'd be right to, ok, it's in today and all I have to do is tweak the amounts. @shadowfax_c11 @cblue315 I didn't know you…

Welcome Sarah! This may not be for everyone, but one of my strategies for staying on track was to set smaller, achievable goals as I went along. I would plan a reward in advance at the time I set the goal. Making the goals achievable was important. Make sure it is something that is easily in your reach. It helped me, and…

In my case goal calories were figured accounting for the exercise that is part of my plan. Originally I was just doing the math to take out what MFP put in again. They've now added the option to not add exercise calories back in, but it is only available in the premium (pay for) version.

It's a bit more expensive than the other suggestions so far, but the feature I like about it most is that you have up to a half hour to keep adding things while it will remember the most recent tare. This is useful when cutting up veggies for example (I'm slow with the knife; perhaps this more…

Is the 9 lb lean mass gain in 6 months not going to happen because I'm targeting a deficit, or it's just not reasonable for anyone to expect? I reworked the numbers using Alan's lowest multiplier and dropped the lean mass gain to 0.5 lb/month. It still comes up with 2400 calories. It has always seemed high to me. Dropping…

The original TDEE was calculated without factoring in exercise. The exercise ramped up slowly and I never went back to recalculate it. Anyway, in the past now. I'm a 45 year old 5'-8" male currently averaging 200 lbs (+/- 3-5 lbs) at an estimated 32% body fat. I came to the current figures using the math from the book "The…

First I'd like to thank you, usmcmp, both for your original post and the time you've put in since. The world is a better place because of the generosity of people like you. After years of trial and error (and some trial and success!), I started another trial with a routine that is based on exactly the principles laid out…
