Not true. I do eat over my calorie goals every once in awhile, but almost NEVER over my TDEE (even if I claim to be sedentary, though my work involves around 4-8 hours of constant walking around). Even with water, I gain weight like nothing if I net 2000 or even 1800. I have to be eating the right foods or eating less than…

This may be true for you, and if it is, congratulations. I gain weight using a "simple" deficit, so I'm happy it's so much easier for you. I also use a HRM to calculate my burns, and don't eat back exercise calories, so it's not an error in calorie calculations. For some, macros DO matter. It's not incredibly rare. In…

People really need to stop telling everyone it's a simple deficit. Yes, for a lot of people, this works; however, there is no need to make people feel stupid or like they must be doing something wrong just because a deficit isn't working for them. It IS more complicated for some people than it is for others. I would weigh…

I've used Nectar (brand) before. The one I've got right now (cookies and cream) has 4g Carbs and 100 calories per scoop. It is VERY sweet though.

The HRM is definitely more accurate! I use Dance Dance Revolution on days that I can't get out of the house, and the HRM is super helpful (I have a Polar FT7 I believe...not sure about the model, but I THINK it's an FT7). I would recommend using the HRM every time you use Dance Dance Revolution as a work out. It's far more…

I would tend to agree with most of the people here. I have JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis--I've had it since I was 2). I'm 20 now, and it's still in remission. Let me tell you, remission is AMAZING, and I only ever get there by eating a bit healthier and working out. I only take pain killers every once in awhile (if my…

Idina's for sure! Can we just pretend I'm NOT 20 and obsessed?

Here! My goal is around 60-70 more pounds. Just depends on whether it's fat or muscle. :) ULTIMATE goal is to be around 135 (currently 203.2) with a 16-18% body fat percentage. :)

Have you ever bought a pizza? Like $3.99 can buy you a medium Hot'N'Ready pizza at Little Caesar's. Have you ever made a healthy meal? Far more expensive from my experience, unless you like munching on lettuce and carrots all day. Just saying. Not to the OP, just forgot to quote. ;)

Lol, have you ever been to college? It's not just go to class and come home like high school. College is stressful, and schedules VARY, especially because most college students (such as myself) work, have other things to do, etc., and weeks with exams or papers due are DIFFICULT, and studying for these is extremely…

I prefer healthy over low-calorie most of the time, so one thing I LOVE is flavored peanut butter-type spreads. There are a couple I eat (Dark Chocolate Dreams and White Chocolate Wonderful) that SERIOUSLY drive down my chocolate cravings, and they're made from natural ingredients as far as I'm aware. I find them at…
