So my sporadic situations are your regular ones. I have to add a knee injury (lasting 3 months !!) and the fact than in a hotel you should not make too much…

  • I go alone. I am frequently attending a gym since September 2016. All previous attempts to regularly go to gym fail catastrophically. My success in "liking" gym: - Get somebody to help, so hire a personal trainer (PT). - If you have no money to hire a PT, all paid gyms should have monitors, and their job is to assist the…

  • I guess one of the success of CiCo (in my case) is that I do not have cheat days because I do not need cheat days. There's always a tasty, delicious, non-disruptive option for every food everyday. When I started MFP journey (5 months ago, 18 Kilos lost so far) I decided to eat more of waht I considered "good food", After 5…

    in What did you eat today??? Comment by CiaIgle January 2017
  • my rule: not to log anything below 5 calories. So I do not record coffee, diet sodas, etc. Now I try to be careful with the "obvious" stuff. Pure fats (butter, oils, etc), IMO are very easy to "forget" and add 9 calories per gram. Even doing de finest beef will take 3-5 grams of fat. Important from macro (around 10% of…

  • Excellent strategies and tips in this topic. Let me add one I guess it was not mention: step ahead when asking for restaurant choices. My first choice is seafood and fish restaurants. Is one of the few places where a salad and steamed potatoes are the soud choice for side order to a fresh grilled fish :-) (for me is…

  • I have another huge list of things I definitively will NEVER eat while on regime. They can be summarize in the following two directives: - Anything that I DO NOT LIKE. - Anything I like but I can't really enjoy due to ration size So, for example: - I do not eat fat free or "light" alternatives like light creamcheese, or…

  • Surely you gave up on something, else you would not give up calories and gave up weight, right? Going for pizza, I will not restrict the pleasure of a Domino's Pizza by restricting its content, IMHO I prefer just to pass until I go for maintenance regime (still 10 kilos away).

  • During the first phases of weight loss (I am in the 4th month and reduced 16 Kgs/ 35 pounds), there are difinitively things I recommend to forget: - Sugar of any kind (even brown or honey): they add calories we don't need, I only use sweeteners 0 cals. - Sodas of any kind and even boxed juices. They are like water with…
