I have read a few articles on this, and contrary to historical beliefs, there isn't any time you "should" stop eating, just make sure you aren't eating fatty stuff right before bed (which you shouldn't be eating anyway really). So as long as you have the calories left, it doesn't matter.
-
Yes you shold eat them back. There is a reason there is an equation at the top that says so. But be careful because MFP is pretty generous with its calories, so I would be conservative. If you are too zealous with your exercise and cutting your caloric intake you will send your self into starvation mode, where your…

Way to go!! Looks like you need smaller clothes!! :)
-
WHOOT!!! Keep it up!!!

That's just our sick sad culture....we all have no idea what "healthy" is anymore...gross. Just because you DON'T eat a whole bag of potatoe chips in one sitting you have mental health problems? Yeah....YOU ARE OBSESSSED. With being HEALTHY. :) Shut down the conversation by saying "I am taking care of my health and I do…

Oddly enough, I have come accross this problem in the other boards for people who still aren't within their healthy range. One girl was having her MOM tell her to stop losing weight, how discouraging!! :( Hopefully it happens more to us than people who are already unhealthily overweight, they have enough trials to work…

So, "any advice"? That is a broad statement as I have learned SO MUCH here since I joined. :) MFP: Just cruise around. There is a bunch of tools on here, opportunity to blog, tons of nutrition information etc. If you cook alot check out the recipe builder under food. Use the barcode scanner if you have the phone app. Be a…

Howdy, welcome!! I know what you mean, I have always looked good "on top" but my butt/hip area is oversized....I read on a forum awhile back about the "Butt Bible" program that showed some pretty fantastic results, and once I get to my goal weight I am going to check that out to get the ol' bum tightened up. I'm TOTALLY…

Don't know, I have lost a little in my boobs (which isn't so bad, because I was "in between" a C and B before) but carry most of my weight in my hips. BUT we get to wear teeny string bikinis and won't get all saggy and gross when we are old. ROCK WATCHA GOT. :)
-
Yeah I have been having this happen to me alot recently, frequently with "older" people. I have decided that these people are either a) jealous or b) ignorant. If they are jealous, screw them! Tell them firmly it is none of their business how you want to look and you are a big girl and can take care of yourself, and dress…

Congratulations and Hoooray!!! That is fabulous!!! YOU ROCK IT GIRL!! NEVER GO BACK!! :)
-
Yeah, I actually read the other posts and was intrigued....I always eat too much but there is nice to know there is a bottom out limit, which makes sense. Just giving you ****. :)

Oooooh you are IN LUCK because I made a fabulous one last night. :) Cod - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cod-with-italian-crumb-topping/ Sweet potatoe---slice it like potatoe chips, pour olive oil in a pan, put the chips in and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake @ 350 until soft and or crunchy, depending on your preference…

I am the same way, I fall victim to this ALOT however I am starting to notice and put a stop to it. I keep a bottle of water by my desk and sip it frequently, which keeps me busy drinking it and walking to the water cooler and bathroom (and breaking up sitting time is good). Also keeping big containers of gum close by and…

I have recently read articles that say a glass of cholocate milk is actually the best "recoup" thing you have have after an intense work out, most Gatorade/powerade/etc drinks are LOADED with sugar and crap you don't need. I haven't heard much about energy bars but I would assume it is similar. You may be a victim of good…

Lol, I love how you are worried about eating "enough" fat....are you craving some cheesecake? :) Some how I feel like this isn't a problem for most.
-
I eat 1 cup Cheerios Multigrain every day with 1/2 cup skim milk. It's about 160 calories total wtih some carbs and protiens and totally worth it, I enjoy eating breakfast and waking up my metabolism. You can always check the nutiritional values of things on MFP's food search. Or on the box... Alot of cereals are fortified…
-
LOVE MY CARBS. :) But just keep in mind that protien is what you need to build/keep muscles. If your body runs out of protien, it will start eating your muscles, and you don't want that!! So keep an eye on your protien levels. It IS hard. But this whole thing is about training your body to like good nutrition. It takes…

Use your CURRENT (as in, how to stay EXACTLY where you are at) Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR, check Tools on MFP), and then cut it by 80%, that should be your daily deficit goal. There are 3500 calories in a pound, so divide your daily deficit by that and you will see how many days it should take you to lose a pound. MFP is a…

Hey that is great!! KEEP IT UP!! What is your goal weight?

"I trying to explain the benefits of AM workouts to a friend, can you help? I am an avid MORNING workout person. The reason is that I feel the morning is when all the SUPER serious people go to workout because : -It's less crowded -You burn more calories -You start the day off with a bang -You workout after being well…

It all comes down to time management. You might find this article interesting: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/are-you-as-busy-as-you-think.html Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize. And have your family members help out with chores. :)
-
Exercise > My exercise > create exercise. Be careful though, most things overestiamte calories burned (esp. MFP), so don't get overzealous. The only way you can really be sure of your burn is if you use a heart rate monitor.

Ugh, I HATE how in the US it's kind of ok for guys to be fatties. Just look at Family Guy. GROSS. Lois keeps it together, GET WITH IT PETER.

We have boobies, and bigger booties. We carry this extra fat (compared to men) so that if we are pregnant and **** goes down, we will keep the baby alive in times of famine. Interestingly, men find boobs and big butts attractive subconsiously (and now ya, culturally) because of this (seen as "healthy" and they think will…

You go lady! I know how you feel...I used to run a 5:32 mile in highschool but when I started again I could barely wheeze out a 10 minute one....BUT I have improved by 30 seconds since (a month) then, so don't cross the olympics just yet ;) Keep it up!!
-
Great work! Maybe you should shoot for more than 40 lbs, eh? :D One step at at time, keep it up!! Take care of your body so it can take care of you!!
-
Interesting on the Skin Brushing thing, never heard of it before but it makes sense. Thanks for posting. And just so you know, "giving 110%" is a mathmatically ridiculous expression. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Hooray for being healthy AND shopping! :D Keep it up!!
