Absolutely brilliant.

Sorry, but it is actually quite simple. As long as you are not in a caloric deficit, you will not be burning fat. Fat is burned only by eating less calories than you require during a day. So if you eat at maintenance, basically your body fat % should not change. You will most likely increase in weight to be honest.…

1. Make long term decisions. Don't go for the easy route with short term success (a nice meal), but instead invest in the long term by skipping and working out instead. In the end, you will always regret picking the easy route. 2. Know that an excuse today will be an excuse tomorrow, next week and the rest of your life. If…

No way that 10.000 steps is going to burn you 2.000 calories. There is defenitely something wrong with the calorie calculation. For me, if I run 10k, burn about 800 calories. This number depends on your weight ofcourse, but assuming you don't weight the same as a tank, I can tell you 2.000 calories for 10.000 steps is too…

I don't know who told you that losing weight while training for a marathon is hard, but I think actually gaining weight is much harder. When training for a marathon, you are running, what, 50 kilometers (~30 miles) a week? For me personally, that is about 4500 calories that I would have to consume to only keep my weight.…

I would definetely agree with all of you. Running is awesome. For some people, running might not be an option. I have had to stay in some countries for some time (work) where it would not be considered safe to run outside alone. In this case, I had to improvise as well. I only had a well air conditioned room with a bed in…

This may be very irrelevant to you, but: Put on an episode of 'The Joy of Painting' of Bob Ross on Youtube! Whenever I am having trouble sleeping, I watch an episode (they uploaded all episodes on Youtube). This guy and the beautiful paintings have a soothing effect on me. Very relaxing. It works for me :wink:

Amazing tips guys, lol. I'm sort of amazed at the creativity here, but then again, I'm also not that amazed :wink: For me, I think I like beer too much to just drop it completely. I'll have to work it in my weekly calorie balance.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm using MFP now to help me lower my body fat %. It's somewhere around ~13-14 at the moment. I have 'abs', but just the top part lol. I want to get rid of the lower belly fat that is still hiding my complete abs. I've started using MFP since 15 days now, and am planning to lose some weight via…

Lol, I was afraid of these answers. I was hoping to find some drink which 1) is fun to drink 2) gets you drunk 3) is relatively low on calories. But I guess that I just have to pay the price. I'm the kind of guy who thinks drinking calories is terrible, I'd rather have a pizza than 8 beers. If only you could get drunk from…

I always think and say to others: - If you can find an excuse today, that same excuse will be there the rest of your life.. If the excuse is good enough for you today, you have got no reason to not let that excuse influence the rest of your goals. - Initiating a change is EASY, making the change happen and keeping it will…

I'm trying to get my fat% down from ~16% to <12% by properly cutting calories and exercising. Current weight is 89 kg, height is 195 cm. My goal is to stay lean, but have my muscles NOT covered by fat. I don't wish to become bulky, just want to have a nice, fit body, with my abs and chest showing. I have got abs, but they…
