Your motivation should come from you. If you no longer have the drive, maybe you're doing something you don't enjoy? Something not sustainable? For losing weight you only need a calorie deficit. Eat what you enjoy, just less of it.

Use a trend app like Libra if you weigh daily. Only weigh once a day. In the morning, after potty time is ideal. Obsess with a food scale, not a body weight scale. What happens after Christmas and New Years? Wanting to look good for them is nice, but do something that you can sustain to, and beyond New Years.

This is accurate.

Best we can do is try to inform. But it's up to the OP to read, understand and make the decision. OP, you should really up your goal. 1500 is MINIMUM for a male. Unless on a supervised diet (if you are extremely obese). Figure out your TDEE, weigh your intake with a food scale, log accurately, and lose weight in a way that…

I agree with this!

I don't track it unless it has calories. As for counting towards a water goal, sure.

Nevermind, since your page doesn't exist anymore.

What are your goals? If losing weight, gaining weight or maintaining. CICO.

I do it too. Just a way of eating that helps me control calorie intake. Been doing it for almost a year now.

I work out at lunch time. Only time I can. Crowd isn't bad. Usually the same peeps in there. Works for me.

No need to make it difficult man. Eat what you want in a deficit and still lose weight (assuming that's your goal). No need to "eat clean", whatever your definition of that may be.

I don't do deadlifts often lol. It sounds like I need to get on them.

Thanks for all the responses everyone! Will be adding these to my routine.

Thanks all, googling them now! And I must admit. My elbows aren't the best (a bit of tennis elbow) but I will try these out and see how they go.

I'm active and support when I can. Add me if you'd like!

I do IF, it's merely a way to control calories, not a diet. Unsure of the meaning of your post...

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10613305/returning-again-to-mfp-what-is-your-plan/p1 Have a look at these threads as well. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest Good luck!

Oh yea! OP if you aren't weighing your food, ALL of your food, start there. Do it accurately for 6 weeks, if you're still noticing a stall after that, then look at readjusting.

lol! Great minds they say...

Do you have your goal set at 2lbs per week? With only 10 to go, you may want to change it to .5 per week to lose.

I only bought another one because the "foot" (rubber peg) at the bottom fell off and vanished. So it was unbalanced. But yea, they both work well.

The few I've gotten on Amazon are like 12 bucks. Ozeri brand I believe. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ozeri+food+scale

All of this!

Read through these! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest A lot of great information here. Good luck!

As long as you don't cut out foods completely! It's really hard to sustain if you cut foods entirely. Eat what you enjoy, in a deficit, and still lose weight.

You can add me if you want. Kriss is right, external motivation will only get you so far. Learn good habits! Good that you've set up a system for yourself.

Great! I spam the must reads post a lot!

You are likely eating more than you think. Do you weigh your food?
