Back on a downward trend. Hopefully it continues this…

When I first started logging, I would log it as the time of the metcon under circuit training. Strength training doesn't burn that many calories. For example, if it is a 12 minute AMRAP, log it as 12 minutes of circuit training. If it is a workout for time, use was your total time was for circuit training. Another option…

Traps for days! Looking good.

Since you did offer to pay, I would just say cut your losses. Also, the fact that he was so willing to let you pay would be a good red flag for not getting a 2nd date. In my opinion, I think the one who asks for the date should be the one to pay in the initial stages of dating. If you know you would not be seeing him again…

Another flex Friday. Love starting my day with squats!

Not at all! Once my goal got below 1400 was when it became too difficult for me to stay at that deficit and I switched to 0.5 lb/week. Which for me, that is 1470.

That is strange since at 5'4" and 148, MFP gives me 1220 for 1 lb/week and sedentary.

False. This would be running at about an 10-11 min/mile pace for an hour at that height/weight.

The activity level in used to estimate total calorie burn (not including intentional exercise) throughout the day. Based on your description, it sounds like lightly active is an accurate setting for you. Do you have an activity tracker connected (such as a fitbit or smart watch)? If that is the case, either of those would…

Are you able to message her? A lot of health care facilities now have online access where you can message a medical professional with concerns that do not require an actual visit.

That our bodies are simple and yet incredibly complicated at the same time.

This exactly.

If you don't want to have to brush your teeth 5 times a day, maybe slowly adjust your eating schedule during the 3 weeks leading up. So, go from 5 meals at 300 cals each, to 4 meals at 375 each. Then slowly lower one of those while increasing the others until you get to 3 meals at 500 each. Example: Week 1 - 4 meals @ 375…

I would second this. What kind of program are you currently running?

I could go for a KFC famous bowl. Those are pretty fantastic.

Are you referring to a DEXA scan?

If this is directed at me, I was in no way meaning to criticize anyone's choices. I really hope it wasn't taken that way!

This is Chicago style, with the sauce on top. According to wikipedia, Detroit-style is the rectangular pizza. Side note: I could really go for a Lou Malnati's pizza right now.

It's definitely not a Chicago thing. Where is the sauce on that pizza?!

They brought back the cotton candy blizzard for the summer. I'm trying really hard not to go there and eat it every day. It is a good thing my location doesn't have the blizzard cake version otherwise I would really be in trouble.

I agree that the high end of those are aggressive (perhaps too aggressive), and I had actually posted a debate post on it. Since I work a desk job, I spend a good portion of the day sitting, with a maintenance range of 1800-2100 depending on intentional exercise so from my personal experience, the low end of that is what…

I didn't pay for it as I received a free year with the purchase of my smart watch (Samsung Gear Sport). It is not necessary to lose weight, but there are features that are certainly helpful. The features that I use are breaking down calorie goal by meal, being able to adjust exercise calories to all go to carbs or turn…

Personally, I stuck with 1 lb/week until that became too uncomfortable. For me, that was about 5 lbs away from my initial goal weight which was the top end of healthy on the BMI scale. My initial goal was to only lose about 25 lbs to begin with. I found an article I liked that based rate of loss on body fat percentage,…
