  • Hey, I know this isn't the answer to your question BUT I'd look into pre-arranging grocery deliver to your Airbnb, because you can't take fresh fruit and veggies across the border!

  • Lots of good tips here! Background on me, I did mfp about 6 years ago lost ~17lbs and kept it off for years without tracking, once I'd settled into a routine. Fast forward to last year where I got a promotion to a new position, in a new country, and that required 1-2 business trips per month. The change in job took me from…

  • 1. The feeling of having accomplished something (especially when I work out in the early morning) 2. Clears my head, improves my mood and my focus for the rest of the day 3. I've always been an [over]thinker/planner/dreamer kind of person. Working out makes me into a DOer!
    in What are the top 3 things you love about working out besides weight loss/muscle gain? Comment by mgfit2020 February 2020
  • I loosely pre-log my 3 main meals either the morning of or the night before, leaving 300-500cal gap for snacks and adjustments. Then during the day I adjust things as I eat, and actually weigh/measure things. I find if I don't pre-log I have a tendency to end up at dinnertime with less calories available than I'd like, or…

  • I used to feel terribly guilty for spending time on my phone when I first got up (I mean basically every "wellness" resource out there claims this is bad for you) and then one day I just realized that I LIKE having that 30-40 minutes in bed, coffee in hand, browsing my feeds, checking the news, and slowly waking up my…

  • Sounds like it's working to me? 1lb/week is normal (safe) weight loss. When I feel like I'm working my tail off but not seeing progress I find it helps to remember: if it were fast and easy then everyone would be thin and fit 😉
    in 3 weeks of cardio and weight lifting and only 3lbs lost? Comment by mgfit2020 January 2020

    in Fitbit attached to old MFP account Comment by mgfit2020 January 2020
  • The only one of those I've tried 100% was IF but it did not work well for my daily routine and caused me more stress than anything else. As for Keto, Paleo etc. any kind of diet that eliminatesnor restricts certain foods just doesn't work for me. I've never tried macro counting but would definitely be open to it. What…
    in What are your opinions on... Comment by mgfit2020 January 2020
  • I do agree with other posters that 1200 seems needlessly low, BUT to answer your question: Add veggies to EVERYTHING. They will add minumially to your calorie count and bulk up the volume of what you're eating (not to mention the health benefits of the vitamins, fiber etc.) I too get hangry, and I've noticed that I make…
