Log it and move forward. What's your motivation for losing weight? Mine is wanting to see as much of my grandchildren's lives as possible. So, I have pictures of my grandson on my fridge. My short term goals are taped to my mirror so I read them when I wake up. Choosing a healthy lifestyle isn't a sentence. It's a choice…

There was a great article in the blogs recently about the dangers of cheat days. I started on the body-for-life program and had cheat days. I agree with someone who wrote about food hangovers. I felt like cr-p the next day. Also made me think in terms of good food vs bad food. Now, I try to incorporate a healthy…

Sounds like you have a grip. Then the meal replacement becomes fuel.

I concur with this to a point. Despite being CICO determining weight loss, a pizza diet wouldn't be healthy. 2 pieces due to a rushed day?? Log it and move forward enjoying the taste. Diets fail when people alter their life too much. Make small changes you feel comfortable with. When those become routine, make a few more…

Care to elaborate?

I ❤️❤️❤️Pure Protein products. The vanilla powder, mixed with 4-5 strawberries , tastes like a shake.

There's a reason you need to meet those calories. Congrats on the food choices! But an extreme caloric deficit will hurt you.
-
Planning. Create as much of stability as you can. Pre log planned food so you can determine available calories for unexpected
-
1pound is great. Key is eating only SOME of those calories back.

Went over my caloric goals... A pound of wings and beers with friends. I'm ok with a smaller weight loss this week. Iwalked away from donuts in the staff room all day. I'll cut a few more calories this week and grind a few more minutes of cardio every day. I've commited to a healthy lifestyle.

I went through the same thing. After buying a food scale and measuring more accurately, pounds started falling.
-
Check out circuit training. You can incorporate both simultaneously.
-
Not a lot of fruits and veggies in the days I looked at. Kill the monster drink: have an espresso and a banana. If you want the snack my thing, have a protein bar low in sugar.
-
I spent the first month in my life transformation in that cycle. Quitting sugar seemed tougher than quitting smoking. So, I set my my meal plan to include some sugar for a couple of weeks. I put my "fix" in zip locks and gave them to a colleague. I'd go see her at the end of the day for my fix. This prevented me from…

I get up at 5 for my workout too. I have a coffee as I drove o the gym, workout and eat a banana and drink a protein shake as I drive to work (along with 500-1000 mL of water).

Deficit means to consume less calories than your metabolism uses. MFP does a good job of setting your baseline caloric need and setting the deficit according to your weight loss goals. Max calorie deficit here sets a 2 pound per week loss. For me, buying a food scale and weighing my portions really helped me get an…

Takes some time. When I started waking up at 5 to go to gym, it was hell. Little voices kept encouraging me to hit snooze. After 3weeks, the little voices were pushing me out of bed. The adrenaline carries me through most of the day. Good recipes for no bake energy bites. I pop a couple of them or a banana with my coffee…

Breakfast and a snack... I work out early, so I have a banana driving from gym to work, then Greek yogurt and blueberries when I arrive. Around 10:39, I eat a protein bar (pure protein bars 200 cal, 1gsugar 20g protein) Easily keeps me going.

Good place to start is bodyforlife.com Both exercise and meal plans. There's always time to work out.

http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/the-problems-with-dieting/?bb=disable Proper planning will take you far. I run a hectic schedule, so I try to have my meals packed the night before. Sundays, I cook several meals to be portioned. When I bought my food scale and measured my portions, weight started falling. I keep a couple of…

Well done! Tap your self on the back.

Hey there, I can empathize with the hunger pangs. As you change your diet, your body responds by triggering cravings to get your calories back to previous amounts. From someone who quit smoking and changed diet, the sugar cravings felt worse than my nicotine cravings. At first, my between meals were fruit. Got a sugar fix…

Starfrit I just bought is pretty awesome.
