I do every day because I find it interesting to see how my weight changes between the days I eat 1200 calories to the times I eat 3000-4000 cals. I weigh in every day and have done so for the last 7 months (even brought a scale to the cottage to not miss a day!) to see how different foods (higher protein days vs high carb…

BUT, doesn't everyone love how you weigh less the next day b/c you are dehydrated? That's a psychological bonus and can help you jump start a week if you've been eating/drinking a little too much lately. I ate 3,000 cals on Friday which included a burger and fries at 11:30 pm and woke up 3lbs lighter!! I wanted to make it…

I dropped Goodlife March 2 after 3 years of plateauing spinning/elliptical/Body Combat 6 days a week, started Turbo Fire back up (I did Turbo Jam 07-09 and was the lowest weight of my life ever at that time but for some dumb reason I thought joining the gym instead would be better after that…. FAIL!), I’m again getting…

As a response I would stick with correcting them in a polite but firm way and then thanking them because that’s what they are doing either out of concern or jealousy, the intent is there. I.e. "I'm healthy and strong, thank you". The bluntness of this response doesn't leave an opening to continue discussing what you eat…

If you are feeling snacky especially in the evenings or there is a treat around that you don't have the spare cals to eat, put on a bikini and hang out in your house like that. Your imperfections being so obvious will keep you in check :)

Michalina’s the frozen entrees are on sale for $0.87 Cdn at the moment. They just created a lean line to compete with Lean Cuisine & Smart Ones (which go on sale for $1.97 weekly) which are great for me losing weight and eating lower cals b/c original Michalina’s is very high in calories and fat which is what you are…

My New Years resolution is to GET AWAY from the elliptical! I was doing it for 40-65min a day 6-7 days a week for the past 16 months and don’t get me wrong, it allows you to eat lots of food and have fabulous cheat days without gaining weight but it won’t change your body shape, it won’t give you the extra definition that…

There is no fun 719 pages of 'yes'. It’s like the time-killing "will you date, F***, marry threads" based on peoples profile photo. At least the answers there are different and people add in odd comments such as compliments on photos or teasing about those who look like creepers. Would you have liked it if I said NO, I…

Thumbs up!

NO. I am going to be the antagonist here and I would not accept the person above me b/c their profile is set to private and unless I am able to learn that we have something in common (goals, body-type, geographical location), I would not agree to add the person.

Why don't you have a conversation over lunch (out of the office) and just mention how you are concerned about yourself re-gaining weight even if you haven't or are 110% committed to ensuring that doesn't happen and maybe he’ll come out admitting "yea, me too, I've gained ___". It may not happen on the first conversation…

*** Edited b/c I missed quoting a previous MFP'er who said "I wouldn't survive, I'd thrive!" Ditto! I only get minor colds & only every 3 years so I believe I’d fair better during plagues than others with my strong immune system, I have no desire to have kids so no fear of dying in childbirth there and I HATE cell phones!!…

That's pretty low on protein and with shipping, you aren't saving very much. Allwhey is 25g of protein, 130 cals and is $50 5lb Cdn regular price at Healthy Planet, GNC etc. Walmart has 6 Star with 30g of protein 170 cals and $40 for 4lbs so if there are no sales near you, its a good one.

1. T-shirts have no shape: dry-fit types are very unflattering compared to regular cotton and cotton gets heavy when it gets wet. 2. Tanks have built in bras (most of the time) eliminating the need for a separate purchase. 3. Men have more body hair then women (in general, the more a man gets in shape however the more…

You pre-bought $3,000 worth of PT? That sounds just a tad suspicious ;) Not only that, the 3-training session deals Goodlife sells directly are $120 or $240 for 6 so your offer is much worse than buying the package directly from GL.

My BIL got one for my husband and one for me for Christmas. It’s a cute (but very unfashionable) toy but just like water tracking on MFP, it's unnecessary for me to see how I consistently walk more than 10K steps a day (my best to-date is 20,863) and I didn't like how it connected with MFP b/c it doesn't update my cal per…

The regular meals are $2 in Canada (on sale) the steamer ones are $4 regular price. Just an FYI for those comparing.

I've found the opposite, LC has more flavour and has more protein which is key in keeping you full. If LC is higher in sodium, it would be the lack of meat in SO. LC are 250-310 in cals – just as low if not lower than SO. SO do appear to have more veggies visually but that's also b/c of all the protein they are missing…

Buy it off of Ebay or Craigslist for $60 at absolute max so that's ½ price. I bought mine on CL for $30 and made a copy for my sister so we split the cost, only $15 each. You can get Turbo Jam for really cheap now since it's from 2005 but that was my first love and if you are new to this particular exercise you may not…

Very true and even in a pinch, I find their products very flavourless compared to their counterparts whether it be a granola bar or their new breakfast sandwiches that I found tasted incredibly processed and bland.

Good point!

I used 30DS in the past when I was absolutely jammed for time and it was better to do something for 30 min than nothing. It only burns about 140 cals for me so since your deficit is not as high as you'd like it to be, actual lbs don't fly off like tonnes of cardio but you will strengthen hence why you'll notice more of a…

'Four' is in The Path in the financial district and nothing is over 600 cals.

Not strange, it's on their website! (see their recipe section).

1 tbsp in a little container of vanilla yogurt = excellent apple dip that is super low-cal and you have sooooo much dip vs 1 tbsp of reg/light peanut butter.

This is true, you can lose 5 lbs if you were eating too much for the past week i.e. Christmas dinners and such but if you are already low-cal, it's pretty hard. If you do the 3-day shakeology cleanse that can help get 3-6 lbs off quick (most of it will come back but it’s something….) I've done it twice in the past 3 years…

Without viewing your diary to see exactly what you are consuming (and by how much you are under) and calories you’ve burned during exercise we can't really judge whether you have moved beyond the point of being a gym rat to possibly having an eating disorder. If this was a dramatic change in your life – from no exercise to…

I bought Nike Shocks a couple years ago b/c they were on sale and b/c well Chalene loves them, they must be good right? They are the WORST! The shock portion is merely a decoration, no actual compression movement so you are very much on your toes in these shoes, not very comfortable.

I got 42% also - I'm Canadian. What the heck is Squash Juice, ewww!! Thanks for sharing the quiz, neat!
