Something I read the other day: Why cheat? Would you cheat during a relationship? Most won't, and the same should go for your healthy lifestyle. Beig in a relationship is a commitment to be faithful, loyal and loving to your significant other. Humans are wired to not be in only one relationship, but to be promiscuous. We…

Why do you have to lose? Find a way to ask him out. Be it to eat, drink or a walk at the park. Live a little and get out of your comfort zone. If you get denied you'll get over it in a few days.

Legumes, protein powder, cottage cheese.

It's up to you when you work out! As for eating, that also depends on you. Some people eat an hour or so before an eat a post workout meal too. I don't like eating before I work out, specially if I'm doing cardio.fin out what works best for you. It'll take a while, but once you know, you'll know!

It's an American way of thinking. In no other place in the world is it ok to be obese (with the exception of sumo wrestling countries). Way too often I hear people think they are just fine even though they're 50+ lbs over weight. Americans have a skewed version of what it is to be healthy. Sure, being comfortable in your…

Also, for anyone that struggles with not being able to limit yourself to only a small amount, you will have to learn eventually. That is unless you want to gain weight back. I'm guilty of this myself, I can't have just one slice of pizza or just a couple of wings. Once I start I can't stop. This is lack of discipline and…

Sweets and pastries don't have to be unhealthy. Learn to make your own healthy snacks. You can make anything healthier and have much less calories and it can be just as good if not better.

26, 5'10" here. Started at 280 and now at 239 this morning. Hoping to hit 200lbs before summer.

1 lemon, 1 lime, black pepper ground cumin Put chicken breast and ingredients into a baggy or some Tupperware and let marinate for about an hour. You can cook it any way you'd like. For grilled, I like using a skillet with some non stick spray. I always put about an 1/8 cup of water to keep the chicken moist. Another…

1500 calories of McDonald's food would consist of two large Big Mac meals. Anyone here seriously think you can retain muscle mass off of two Big Mac meals a day for an extended period of time? Your body will starve off a diet like that and eventually push itself into starvation mode and take in any food and store it as…

It is most definitely not as simple as calories in/calories out. I dare anyone to eat nothing but 1500 McDonalds calories and see if you can still lose weight. Sure, you'll lose some weight at the beginning but it won't be fat you're losing. It'll be muscle mass. Eventually, you won't be able to operate very well with…

I can go to my local Walmart and spend under $100 a week and that feeds two adults. I don't think that's very expensive. Most people spend nearly that much in fast food and going out to restaurants a week. I know because that's how we used to be. A bag of chicken breasts from Costco is $11 and feeds us for 2 weeks. A bag…

Don't worry too much about how many carbs or fats your intake is, but more on where those carbs and fats are coming from. If you're working out, it's likely that youll need more carbs than what mfp says. Abs are made in the kitchen. Focus on reducing body fat to under 15%.

Sounds like your normal meals are boring you and not keeping you full enough. Incorporate more protein and healthier carbs into your meals and you won't be having these cravings. You can spice up your food with healthier sugars like stevia or raw honey. Or you could also try having some sweet, but nutritious snacks like…

Another chunky runner here, sort of. I started to run just a few weeks ago. While I have plenty of lungs, my feet can't keep up. They hurt so bad! I could barely finish 1 mile. It was a slow mile too, at only 11:38. I really wish I could go for longer. One thing I've noticed is that if my shoes are too tight the pain is…

Awesome perspective! I believe it's truly the only way to be happy while losing weight. It's so boring and very unmotivational when you're so focused on your weight number. You can put in twice as much effort into working out or eating better but the scale shows you no gains ( or lack thereof). People only focus on the…

First off, congrats on your progress with the program. Slow progress is better than no progress. You are an inspiration to many, including myself. Now I hope I don't sound like a Debbie downer, but something bugged me about your first post. Diet IS the key to any weightloss journey. A diet isn't necessarily eating less and…
