Ann thanks so much for you reply! This is by far one of the most informative replies. I really appreciate that. As you've said, I am no extremely overweight, I am actually only 1.5 kg above the high end of my medical recommended weight 63-68 kg. I am on the smaller side though 5'3''. Last year, I worked with a sport…

That's exactly what I am trying to do right now. I've was able to loss 10 kgs, got down to 67 kg , got off the bandwagon for a while due to surgery and injury, and my weight stabilized at around 70-69 kgs, where I am now. The last couple of weeks, I got back on the bandwagon and I have been trying to track as much as…

Yeah I know the BMR is is our minimum expenditure, but that MFP doesn't have TDEE calculator (or at least I have not found it). I have been trying to stay consistent which means that using the BMR in the calculations would give me at least a minimum deficit. Correct? Using mytdee calculator…

I do constantly use a digital food scale for all the food I make at home and log the ingredients individually. If I have internet access, I try to log everything I eat, but sometimes that is not the case on weekends. I even separate my portions from my boyfriend's while cooking to make sure that I have the right portion…

I just started the PIIT 2.8! Honestly, so far I am loving it! It's been a while since I have been this good sore.

I'm the crazy person in the office (No AC) wearing a fleece in the middle of summer, but I'm okay in a tank top on an Ice rink since I'm being active.

Okay, but how do you determine what a reasonable number for practice is? I mean to me ~500 kcal per hour seems like a reasonable number since it is below the 600 kcals I would burn on a 1 hour run. I would say that generally not as exhausted ( I might be equally as sweaty though) after one hour training as I am after a 1…

Usually my sessions are approximately 15 minutes of warm up (i.e turn drills, power edges, etc.), 45 minutes jumps, 30 minute run throughs and program sections and then 30 minute spins

Yeah, I know that HRM are most accurate for steady state cardio, but given that you are actually nearly constantly pushing in one way or the other while on the ice, I think they would be at least reasonable accurate, but that's really what this question is about. I know that when I step on the ice, I am constantly moving,…

But it's been a month since I started working out again. I have a hard time believing that my muscles are still retaining water.

Yeah, I've been weighing and logging all my food. Down to a point my boyfriend thinks I am turning into a mad chemist (we are both scientist so he associates measuring with chemicals). My cal goals is 1,240 cals per day plus a up to 200 cals from my workout. My typical work out is anywhere between 600 to 800 cals according…

Anything and everything that ends in berries

My boyfriend does not need to loose weight at all. Infact He is one the most fit persons I know, naturally low body fat and high metabolism and overall naturally strong. We recently climbed the Teide together and sports are a huge part of our daily lives as well as dating life. We got together at the skating rink and now…

Okay, I live in a country where biking to and from work/school/groceries/etc is normal and a good portion of the time it is raining. My daily commute is 2.2 km (1.36 miles) one direction and somewhat hilly. I can tell you, you don't NEED any special gear/shoes/apps/etc, unless you are actually doing a long commute. You can…

That"s my plan. I am actually trying to see if I can take a bike from my hotel to the conference venue ( 6.5 km), which would guarantee that I at least get some exercise.

Thanks Guys/Girls. Yeah recovering for my trip is the single most important thing at the moment. But I feel like If I don't work out now the next two weeks might be ruined, because I know next week will be very hard for me to sneak in a workout, and between conference dinners and going out with colleagues i am terrified of…

I have to go to protein shakes that are both approved for competitions (i.e. anti-dopping) my go to one is Whey to go Protein in Chocolate. SinceI can't find that one for a reasonable price in Europe I recently started taking Isopure Low Carb Chocolate - Protein Powder. They are both really good, but if you can find it I…

I'm 5'3'' and 152lbs (69kg), trying to get down to between 138lbs (63kg) and 132 lbs (60kg). But I do have a slightly heavier frame and by doctor's definitions really dense bones so getting down below 130 would be unhealthy.

Thanks guys/girls. This is what I thought, but wanted to hear it from others just to make sure that I wasn't excusing myself for having actually gained that much weight. I do know that I have a tendency to retain lots of water, specially when eating high sodium foods, which is why I try to avoid eating out as much as…

June 3rd: Me:1 LNS:0

just discovered this thread!!! Can I still jump in? I hope so. I'm in CEST. Rules: No snacking after dinner No snacking while preparing dinner.

There is nothing wrong in only drinking water. I drink mostly water , along side my morning coffee or tea and the occasional half glass of wine on holidays. I'm the person who whenever my group of friends and I go out always orders water, most of the time sparkling water with lemon. Don't be surprise when your friends…

Thanks, that's normally how I track my strength process as well, but that's a bit hard to track calories that way....

Don't do it! You are 100% right, it will leave you hungry and snacky, which will end up throwing off your whole calorie count. Also, while the shakes themselves are low in calories (190-230) from what I have seen doing a quick search, their sugar content can be extremely high between 6g to more than 30g. Just take is slow…

Right now my favorite breakfast is a low fat Greek yoghurt (170g) with a bit of fruit and a bit of oatmeal thrown in or if I don't have Greek yoghurt then cottage cheese with fruit. Keeps me full for about 3 hours.

Gym or Outdoors or Rink, anywhere except home. Home is a tranquility haven for me, as soon as I walk through the door there it is complete relaxation. I make sure I take all my gym stuff with me when I leave for work in the morning and prioritize the gym/rink over most things now days.

June is suppose to be my kick-bum month. We are going on Vacation at the end of the 19-29 June and part of that includes climbing the Teide, so lot of prep sport to maintain and improve my conditions and hopefully combined with some weight lose. I'd really would like to be lose a bit more than 5 lbs. SW:73.3 Kg (Started…

My sport nutritionist had me on a high protein diet for a while and recommended 2 eggs daily, until I told him i was getting tired of eggs (about 6 weeks later). While eating 5 eggs daily would probably be bad for you, I don't think that one day would kill you.

Okay, here is a question. Do you measure the amount of rice or pasta per cooking or post cooking.

I personally take one day a week (normally Sunday) and make all my big meals (i.e. Lunches ) for the whole week as well as some snacks for the afternoons. I buy most of my fresh ingredients at the supermarket in the morning and make the meals as soon as I get home. Normally it takes about 2-3 hours to make 5 meals but you…
