I wouldn't call this a bad habit; have you heard of reverse dieting? It's all about raising the intake of kcals to increase the maintenance kcals - if you've been able to maintain and increase your kcals it's perfect :smiley: To OP's question: I'm not maintaining just yet, but I'm not too far from my goal so I am mentally…

Are you sure about the double count? Because I had a way too high kcal burn when I logged on MFP. But thanks for clearing it up; I think I'll investigate and test this a bit further.
-
I put my MFP activity level to Sedentary and set my goal to my average kcal intake goal and let Fitbit do the activity correction sync to MFP. Then I use Fitbit to see my kcal intake vs burn to keep track of my kcal intake. I find this is the easiest and most correct way to set it up for my use.
-
I have a Charge HR and because I've set my MFP kcal goal to 1700 it adds kcal burn from Fitbit on top of that to correct my daily kcal burn. I don't log any activities in MFP because that would double the count. What I've found that Charge does that is not entirely correct is to calculate my burn after an average person -…
-
I'm in the same situation; I lift but don't do much cardio so my HR is not high enough to count as even an "active" period. But I have been quite active a couple of days with a lot of walking and then I got up to 2500 kcal burned while I an normally at 1950-2000 regardless of working out. I don't log my exercise though -…

I like being a bit obsessed, it keeps me going back to the gym ;) I love the feeling of being in my own body after a good workout.
-
I HATED my arms before. Seriously. Hated them. Flabby, big, awful. Now they are muscular and look good and I like them. Don't worry. Yours will look good to.
-
I don't like cardio, max for me is 15 minute interval training on a stair climber or some ellipticalthingy. But I do get my pulse up when I do a bunch of low-weight oly lifts for example.

I've lost more than 60 lbs and watched my boobs disappear and have for a long time worn padded bras to compensate. But - recently, I've discovered that I actually look better with a regular bra because it fits my new body shape better! And believe me, that was quite a revelation! I've always been big busted and have missed…

A lot of research regarding healthy sodium intake go against each other; some say max intake so-and-so while other say it's not that "dangerous" - I'm still waiting for that verdict. And not thinking too much about my sodium intake! But look at it the other way around: Sodium makes the body retain water, which is good…

Drinking too much water is not good for your body. http://www.livestrong.com/drinking-much-water/

I do 3 times a week 40-45 minutes, usually Mon-Wed-Fri, whole body every time. Usually a warm-up set at 12 reps with a lower weight and then 3x8 Squats Sumo deadlifts Sitting cable row (alternate high and low back muscle) Pull down to chest Chest press Shoulder press Leg press Core (usually plank but also suspention…

Why do you stretch before weight training? Many believe that it's counter productive and it won't necessarily help your soreness. After I started with a "warm-up set" with lower weight before I go to my max I've not been sore barely at all. It's worth a try :smile:
-
Why run? I used to think that I needed/wanted/could learn to like/had to run, but I realised that it's not for me. And I don't need to run, there are other ways to exercise. Find your way instead? :flowerforyou:
-
I don't get DOMS anymore; unless I overdo my workout. So I agree with you sticking to it; just be sure to up the weights when you feel that the lifts get easier. That's when the gains come :)

"You shouldn’t completely fast longer than 12 hours, ever." Hm. NOT very "hardcore". How'd he come to post at a site that's called Dangerously Hardcore? Well... beside the point. 12 hours is NOT long. At all. Everybody should be able to fast AT LEAST 12 hours. "When I started, I trained only one or two days a week due to…

i did have a feeling that it might be a lost case... last time I opened one, half the pages were ads for suppllements...

THANK YOU for giving me the word for what I have! I've had it since I was little; even the sound of dripping water made me crazy - and loud eaters? Like someone said.. makes me want to commit a crime...

In total I've lost around 30 kgs (66 lbs) and have maybe 5 kgs left to lose if I go low, and I was worried about loose skin but after I started strength training it seems to solve itself. I have stretch marks on my arms, boobs and stomach (have had this after having 2 kids) but they've faded to almost nothing, just a…

I got myself a door gym with a chinup bar and started trying for a complete rep whenever I passed the door it's mounted in. Today I almost did three unassisted ones!

That I had to eat when I felt even just a little hungry, or I'd get dizzy and fatigued...
-
I used to eat whenever it came to mind, really - I've totally screwed up my hunger/fullness cues and I still struggle with it. I ate when it was time to eat regardless of what I actually needed. After I started intermittent fasting I've learned that I don't really get very hungry - but then again, I don't really feel full…

Myself.... having an image of what I am going to do in my mind, but when I look in the mirror it doesn't even remotely look like I imagined... Like yesterday I did hanging leg raises and thought I had a nice 90 degree angle.. nope.. more like 45.. or 30...

Sounds too familiar... I have IBS, and I need to watch what I eat though what triggers the problems may differ from week to week.. Intermittent fasting has helped me a lot, I really encourage trying this.

You move too fast, I can't keep up with you anymore...

Imagine a snotty kid touching that snotty nose and then touching all the cookies. If that's not enough, add in a dog licking them. If THAT's not enough, well.. have a cookie and leave the rest..

Jeg har ikke hatt noen vekt-mål så jeg skal egentlig ikke "klage" på at jeg ikke har gått ned i vekt. Har ikke vært særlig flink til å holde meg innenfor kaloribudsjettet heller så alt i alt har det vært Jeg har ikke målt fettprosenten igjen, har planer om å gjøre det i løpet av uken men forventer ikke egentlig noen…

Haha.. not quite that one, but things like "You work out? Running?" "No, strength training." "Ooohhh. You can lift me up then haha. Don't get too strong!"
