  • The key to weightloss is to do have an eating plan you can live with forever. If you eat less calories than you expend, you will lose weight. I personally think Ketogenic is a very good and healthy way to eat but I really can't stick to it. (Damn you bread!!!!) Also, for the remainder of this rant/post do not confuse…

  • As others have said, don't freak out. My ONLY rule is to be honest with myself. I log everything!! I have had bad days, bad bank holidays and bad weeks! I find, it is easier for me to over eat, once I have over eaten.. i.e. A pizza on a Friday night with a few beers can lead to a chocolate, crisp and other bad choices on…
    in I fell off the wagon today....I need support Comment by Ianhood82 May 2017
  • Tools * I use MFP to log EVERYTHING. * I use a Garmin 735xt and my phone to keep track of activities. (This is not required but I like geeking out on it and I find it motivates me) Attitude* Setting realistic goals and preparing for it to take time. It didn't take a week to put on it so it will take time to come off. * Not…

  • Your analogy is off a tad. It is more like being halfway down the highway to a destination 60 miles away and suddenly realizing you forgot to fill up on petrol. When my petrol gauge tells me I need more fuel I fill up. Recently that doesn't appear to "always" be around a traditional breakfast time. When I am busy working,…
    in Occasionally skipping meals - Is this bad? Comment by Ianhood82 February 2017
  • Thanks for the advice all. Very nice to know. I am in a bit of a 2 stage plan... This year I am just trying to lose weight and train more. Next year I am going to be much better with my macros and overall diet health. It is empowering being able to fit a fish and chip supper into my deficit every now and then. I have been…

  • Wow this thread has made my day. OP, hopefully now you will have the constructive information you will need to assess what needs to be tweaked in order for you to start seeing results. 1. Like many people say...Weigh your food accurately with a digital scale 2. Double check you are getting the correct entry on the database…
    in MFP doesn't work. Comment by Ianhood82 February 2017
  • As a new member I have not got the sense of "eat what you want, still lose weight and be healthy!!". I do have a sense of not demonizing food groups and particular foods anymore. The fact that MFP's tool set tracks macro and micronutrients and alerts you when things like your sugar is sneaking up, renders your arguement…
    in CICO is not the whole equation Comment by Ianhood82 February 2017
  • Firstly, see your doctor. Do not take the advice of the (well meaning) random public. Running is a high impact exercise and can put your joints under strain. Have you thought about (while you are trying to rest the joint) a lower impact exercise that will at least help to keep your physical training on track until you get…

  • I don't even think I get the concept of a cheat day. You need to know how much energy your body needs and how much fuel you are putting into it. If you are tracking this then no meal is cheating, just an amount of energy you are putting into your body. If you want something, have it and understand the impact. (you could…
