I do this all the time.. then just eat a little less and do an extra gym sesh the next day...cos truth be told... part of that big calorie countyou'd have been eating anyway that day so your actual "over" calories is a few hundred... easily resolved the next day... and sometimes we need a aplurge for our sanity and even…

Hollyoaks. Any fitness/health programmes... Supersize Vs Superskinny, Embarassing Bodies, 1/2 tonne dad, Embarassing fat bodies, the truth about ....

If MFP didn't exist, they'd only be doing it by using a physical diary or "head count" of everything. So no. It's justa different way of them keeping "count"/track.

Cereal (controlled portion -30-50g depending on what it is) with skimmed milk or almon milk... if you're after lower cals but to keep you going. Another one is the "healthy fry up" I grill 2 lean bacon medallions (British stuff) Poach 2 fresh eggs (I get them from my chickens but supermarket are an OK alternative!) 1/2 tin…

Hahahahah Brilliant!

And this, or initial officer training in the winter out on exercise for 2 weeks at a time at -17degC!!!

The military diet for me is the embracing of the entire lifestyle ... Work hard and play very hard. Most military folk embrace healthy eating and a very active lifestyle. Those who don't are sometimes austrecised because they can become a burden, physically and administratively. My colleagues tend to eat healthily and if…

It's another nonsense. You're better just to bite the bullet, eat less (but of the right things too) and move more for weight loss and eat just the good stuff in the right quantities to be healthy and maintain or gain.

This. However the fact people who work night shifts may become obese is because of the types of things they eat when they're on shift. Snacks. High calorie, high in sugars and sweeteners and fat. In addition, as it CAN (not always) mess with natural circadian rhythms, it can cause your body to become "stressed" and releae…

I <3 diet coke and never had any problems before losing weight on it!

^^ Say what?! Even when I was mega fit and fast my HR when running was around 150-160BPM! Running at about a 7.5 -9 min mile. When I've not been running for a while it is noticeably higher as, as you rightly say, aerobic fitness has declined.

This... you wish you gained 10 lbs of muscle. *edit was pbs to lbs (I obv started to write pounds and decided to abbreviate half way through! haha!)*

Actually, 180 is a lot even for a bloke, because he is 5'3". Find a bad photo of him or take one of him scoffing his face, print it out and leave it on the counter for him to see. Show him or leave some subtle health leaflets about/around. Or simply say, and be strict and firm (but fair), that you can't marry someone who…

i love glitter! <3

LOLZOR!!!!

Weak people like me who haven't done any weights in forever and starting to do lat raises etc! ;)

LOLZOR! true story.

Big change.. and you look so much more youthful now too!

Don't give it up... i lost more weight by choosing low fat dairy alternatives... skimmed milk, low fat cottage cheese etc, Some studies think that thecalcium and other minerals help with weight loss, fat metabolism and plus great source of calcium for strong bones whilst losing weight.

If you've only been tracking for 2 days or over protein for 2 days then you're not really gonna see a change relaistically!

He might not be feeling as great as you.... For many, leaving the armed forces is like cutting off their leg or a vital organ. You take away their purpose and routine and the regimented lifestyle and they don't do so good. Just saying...it's probably not you, but something else going on for him. I don't know how I'll cope…

Only losers cheating themselves do this. It's really quite pathetic. For Christ's sake... it's just a game and a challenge as you say, not a race! Annoying when some of us are genuinely busting a gut however and thinking someone else is doing something way extreme to get there..... I've been burning 900- 1500 ish calories…

5' 8.5" and weigh about 165lbs....

That's quite sad really... I have a lot of Male MFPs that and they're all here for the right reasons and not perverts or anything. I have my boyfriend on my MFP list but I didn't use to and he didn't care either because we trust each other. Likewise he has lady MFPs. Don't accept people who are clearly sharking... (semi…

Maybe if you just get some rubber/latex from a rubber plant and throw it over your nob...lol! hahahaha oh dear MFP is really getting full of nonsense. *just in case I did get the sarcasm!*

You'll get loads of responses all different. It is enough if you're trying to lose weight. If you're overweight you got there by over eating... for whatever reason... your stomach is bigger and you're used to stuffing yourself or eatign stodgy crap. If you were eating 3000kCal a day and switched to less than half that at…

Just read on your profile you have type 1 diabetes. Be very careful. If you go in to Ketosis it could lead to a further stage of that which is not good for you and very dangerous where you get high levels of nasty by products of metabolising LOTS of fat very quickly in your body as opposed to using normal source of energy…

1200kCal is a semi-arbritrary figure conjured up by taking the average FEMALE and her BMR.In addition, this is a figure based on the AVERAGE FEMALE to get enough nutrients like protein, fat and vitamins/minerals. Some people will need more or less and it depends on your body composition, height, weight, gender and activoty…

This... it only becomes a problem as a sweetner if you have a specific medical condition which I can never spell (you'll see it when you read any horror stories about artificial sweeteners) which you'd know about by now. Keep using it, it hasn't killed anyone without that condition and is used in moderation anyways. To put…
