The only real way to use weight is to see long-term trend. Weigh yourself every day, at the same time and under the same conditions, for a month - you'll see that your weight goes up and down all the time. The main thing is that in the long run, over 3 months or so, your trend shows the weight going downwards.

Oil has far more calories in it than that. As others have mentioned, half a tablespoon is easily close to 70-80 calories.

I just started a month ago, following aworkoutroutine's beginner program. So a 3 day full body split, doing 3-5 exercises on each day. My main advice: Find, and follow, a good beginner program. I'd probably follow that for the first 6 months, maybe even more depending on progress. Make sure you get enough protein (~1g pr…

Starvation mode is a myth.

I've heard of experiments where a guy lived off candy and chocolate - but stayed in a calorie deficit for 8 weeks. Guess what, he still lost weight.

Gym fees in Denmark are generally somewhat lower, so it's not a big deal for us. Besides, if we don't have the gym, I suspect we wouldn't actually get around to doing any real exercise. Now that we're paying for it, it's a lot easier to just decide to get going.

You could check out aworkoutroutine.com - he has a quite good beginner program. There's also a post in here with a collection of weight lifting programs.

If you are lactose intolerant, cut it out, yes. If not, there's no logical reason. Dairy is a good source of calcium and protein.

I'm personally a big fan of aworkoutroutine's beginner program. It covers the entire body, primarily via compound exercises, meaning you get a lot of bang for your buck. Also make sure you eat enough protein if you want to minimize muscle loss while losing weight. But yeah, since you're losing weight, you will also lose…

Cotton tees are really bad for exercising. Get tshirts meant for activity, running shirts or the likes. For shorts, I tend to use soccer shorts from my favorite teams, they're comfy and excellent at transporting sweat away.

45 kg? How tall are you?

My group's currently teaching my fiancée D&D. We've started out with D&D 5th ed, since the rules are so much simpler than 3rd (which has been our standard system for years..) I'm also doing a personal project, reading all the Marvel comics in proper order (Based on the CMRO). So far I've read from 1961-1988, so i've a…

I tend to weigh myself 2-3 times a week, as I feel once a week doesn't give me the detailed data I personally prefer. But if the numbers demotivate you, change to once a week, once a fortnight or even once a month. Start measuring waistline and see how that one changes.

Generally speaking, if you are in a calorie deficit, you cannot build muscle. However, if you are a complete beginner to strength training, you can see, in the early few months, that you can actually gain muscle while in a deficit. That's a temporary thing though. The reason why you weight train while in a deficit is to…

Feel free to add me - will do what I can to support and help motivate. Any journey is better with friends.

Got myself a new racer this year as my old one got killed in a group crash. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much cycling at all this year due to a lot of changes in my life. I did manage to clock just above 2000km, and I completed the Hamburg Velothon 120km race without being picked up due to time limit. I've gone…

Do you have a desk that can be raised? If so, standing instead of sitting is a very easy way to do a little more. I work in a callcenter, and I'm "tied" to the phone, so walking around etc is not an option for me unfortunately, so my option has been to lower calorie intake while it's off-season for regular cycling.

Calorie deficit and persistence. Only way. You can't decide where the fat loss happens.

If only there was a way to target fat. Unfortunately we can't. Just have to keep at it, keep working, and eventually we will look like we want to look. Of course then we need to keep at it and keep working to KEEP that look..

200g protein sounds like a lot. Are you an Olympic weightlifter?

At least the Danish health authorities state that "a handful" is the ideal consumption of nuts on a daily basis. But I don't know for sure. If it fits your macros I guess I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm from Denmark, we don't really do "no alcohol". I get a few beers here and there, and every now and then I go for a proper night out with live music and beers. If I didn't have my party nights and festivals, I'd go crazy.

I would call myself sexier than modern art, so yes.

Atm I'm trying to eat +100g of protein a day, so don't worry. Also, excess protein isn't dangerous, so there really is no reason to worry.

After work in weekdays, after breakfast in weekends.

My first goal was getting down below 100kg. Going from triple to double was a big deal. My current goal is to get below 95 (again) - and then of course under 90, which I haven't been for at least a decade.

Highest: 108 kg/216lbs Current: 98kg / 196lbs Goal: 80kg / 160lbs Was down to 92kg/184lbs back in fall 2016, but 17 has not been a good year so far weight wise.

I have lunch every day in a restaurant. It's a random buffet every day, so it's always based on mostly guesstimates when I log my lunch. It's a bit annoying, but I guess I just have to deal with it the best I can.
