Probably not a bad idea to keep within your goals that MFP set (unless you have done your research and altered your goals according to personal needs). Everything in moderation. I eat a LOT of fruit. And real honey. But I stay away from processed sugars... on a side note, I can't really see anyone ballooning up from eating…

AHAHAHAA!!! I've never heard the burrito quote, but that is Hil-ar-rious!

Hi:) I shouldn't have generalized countries perhaps;) What I meant by eating like the French is that (in my own experience with french culture) the portions are smaller (this is the key difference) and the days well-balanced. I would most happily enjoy chocolate and croissants for breakfast, but for the rest of the day, I…

Hi there:) I believe that it is all about balance, and eating more like the French and less like Americans (smaller portions). I drink plenty of water, eat a lot of fruit, vegetables, meat, whole grains, eggs, and nuts - but I also drink red wine, enjoy chocolate, and bake pies. Food is a huge part of life. A deliciously…

Its really important to give your body a chance to rest.perhaps you could try a day of just stretching or yoga, or just a long walk instead of intense exercises. That could be considered a rest day.

Lovely post, gorgeous

Thanks:) I should mention, I did the 30 day shred program in addition to 4x a week cardio (45 min) and strength training 2x a week (30 min), aiming for a net of 1220 per day.

Hi, I def saw the result in inches, if not in weight - I was on a plateau when I started, and upped my calories halfway through -- gained, then lost two pounds (so my results were not as high as others that I have seen on this site:) In total I lost 7.5 inches, and 3lbs in the 4 week period. Oh and I don't know about…

I log it as circuit training - most people on MFP do, if I am correct ^_^

"We have valid reasons why we can't do certain things. Unfortunately, we think of excuses and we think they're valid reasons. We've got to ask ourselves which one it is: a good, valid reason, or a cheap, flimsy excuse. Sometimes it takes asking someone else to know which one it is. " Really beautiful article, well said. No…

^^^I've read that its a myth that eating smaller meals will boost your metabolism.. now if I could only find those articles :) However that being said, I think you should eat however many meals you feel happy and satisfied with. Smaller meals can be controlled by portion size, or perhaps just a piece of fruit for one of…

Hey there - my advice is keep with it, and your knees will get stronger. just adjust your exercises to suit you! I have an old injury from figure skating - tore a ligament in my knee - after healing, I started studying field archaeology, and that is helll on your knees as well - so I'm no stranger to knee pain! My knees…

Net calories are your total calorie consumption for the day. Basically it is a subtraction of your exercise calories from your intake calories (calories from food) - for example, if you eat 1400 calories, and burn 400 calories, your net would only be 1000 calories - so you would probably want to eat back some or all of…

:) thanks for your advice - yep according to the tape measure I've lost about 8 inches in the last 6 weeks. I certainly feel better that I did at the end of January.. just having trouble getting enough calories. I feel rather apprehensive about eating back exercise cals, though I've read articles that logically explain why…
