Some have been said above but here are three big ones for me. 1. Be honest recording calories. Portion sizes are easy to mess up. Count all cheats. 2. Set goals. Training for a specific purpose is a necessity. Both short term and long term goals whether it's weight or fitness goals. 3. Give it time. This stuff doesn't…

It doesn't fully justify it, however, my friends and I play football in the snow for about 90min before games start! We also don't have some of these crazy foods but they sound delicious.

I hate long slow runs. I almost only run some sort of interval. I just change the length of the intervals and rest times. That keeps it a little more interesting and higher intensity. That and running outside if I am doing a slower continuous run. And of course music. Must have music.

[/quote] Are you using a food scale and measuring devices for your food? How often do you eat out (nothing wrong with it but tracking it can have lots of inaccuracies), do you track EVERYTHING that you consume that has calories? My point: It's worth exploring whether or not you are having errors on the food intake side of…

Agreed. MFP does give low protein. On a given day before exercise my protein is about 5 or 6 grams below recommended amount. And that's just to maintain muscle mass. So when I go over I don't worry about it. Especially if I'm under in carbs, I would rather be over in protein than in fat!

I'm almost the same way. I drink pretty much one a day. Either with lunch at work or with dinner. On a crazy day I will have two but I have a crazy sweet tooth so I think it saves me. I will accept the aspartame. Over the years I have had way more sugar than aspartame, so now I'm leveling it out haha.

Could be that for someone already in a normal BMI range that losing 2 pounds a week is too much to shoot for. When I started I aimed for 1.5 pounds per week but as I got closer to my goal the deficit needed to do that was too much and took my calories too low. I ended up changing my loss per week goals and that worked for…

Pretty much. I eat anything I want, but in moderation. And I plan for it. If I want ice cream, I leave room for ice cream. But I try to control portions. Fast food is the one thing I don't really do anymore. I haven't had McDonalds in about 7 months. Otherwise, I still have some chocolate almost every day.... I have a…

I second IveLanded. I personally do only mornings before I eat and in underwear. It really doesn't matter when you do it as long as it's consistent. Time of day is important along with varying clothes. Since you can fluctuate up to 5lbs a day, I try to keep time very consistent. I also like to only weigh once a week since…

I just did this about 2 weeks ago. I had just reduced calories because I had lost another 10 pounds and the site suggested it. I got down to 1560 cal/day for 1.5 pound loss per week. After I did that I stopped losing for about 4 weeks. I decided to change the goal to lose 1 pound per week and increased calories to 1770.…

If it's early morning I like empty stomach cardio. But I won't do anything intense like intervals or weights without having eaten something. That being said, I wouldn't eat right before either. I try to give it at least 45min post snack.
