The TDEE - 15 or 20% is a great place to start with your calories. I would also suggest that you don't need to do 30 min of cardio and 50 min of pilates EVERY day. Rest days are equally important. Also, strength training will help you drop body fat more than cardio will. There are some great, easy-to-follow lifting…

Agreed. Instead of having one whole day, just set aside some of your daily calories for a treat so you can still enjoy the foods that you like.

Unfortunately you cannot spot reduce. You "tone up" by reducing your overall body fat %, and that is done with a moderate calorie deficit. Strength training (your entire body) will also help. This article is a great place to start for body weight exercises you can do at home:…

What an awesome story! I love people with amazing attitudes. :drinker:

Not even remotely true.

Just get drunk. That's worked for several people I know.

Am I the only one wondering if that donut was stale by the time it got mailed back, and whether or not it got thrown away? I'd hate to see a good donut go to waste...

That's what I am wondering as well...

MFP absolutely changed the way I look at fitness and nutrition. There is some amazing information on here given by amazing people. I'm glad that you are finding the same wonderfulness that I did. Kind of makes success inevitable. :drinker:

Well, I'll weigh in as someone who has gotten a tattoo removed. I have a lot of tattoos, and I've had one large one removed... because I did not choose a good artist (long story) and it was on my leg, so due to the high visibility, I opted to remove it vs. cover up (I don't have any other tattoos on my legs). It is now…

Really, what CAN'T you do with cauliflower? It's like a superfood!

I was struggling to come up with a recipe for dinner tonight, but I think it's obvious my problems have been solved! Serving size be damned, I'll probably eat the whole container! (oopsie, cheat day) Thanks OP!

I don't show off my dog, he shows off himself.

This is awesome! And exactly why I lift heavy. Thank you for sharing, and congrats! :drinker:

Well, you said: And a troll is: In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting…

Oooh, I need some Talenti! To wash down this peanut butter burger I just ate...

I think the point the OP is making is fantastic! As for what happened in the next 13 pages, I'm not really sure...

Mmmhm. Dani, Dana, Lea... you guys all look fantastic! I like hot moms.

Yep, mine always gets red when I work out.... at any weight. I've just learned to love it (and wear cool tones).

Also, I would like to add that this diet is not sustainable long-term... Print media is dying out and soon you won't have any newspaper to eat.
