Great job! congrats on both the food as the exercise choices! Now my only question is: Do you want to spend 90 minutes a day on the elliptical every day for the rest of your life? If not, you might want to look into some strength training and HIIT (high intensity interval training). You can get the same results, or at…

Not sure what you're daily calorie deficit is. But let's assume you've set up MFP to lose 1lbs per week. That's 3500 calories deficit or 500 calories per day. Since you ate well 6 days of the week, that's a 3000 kcal deficit. Now yesterday you went over 600. So your total deficit for the week is 2400 (3000-600). If you ate…

Don't make it more difficult than it is. For most people calorie reduction IS the answer. Quantity beats quality when you're talking about weight loss every single time.

What are you doing in that 1 hour 20 minutes it takes you to get ready in the morning? If you're so pressed for time I'd really recommend making some changes here. Take a 5 minute shower, pack breakfast to eat on the bus (that's the nice thing if you're not driving, you can eat something) which is another 5 minutes, 5…

Look at it from his point of view. 3 minutes of running really doesn't sound like a stretch. That is unless you're actually doing it. Now some people are naturally athletic and will run that 3 minutes easily. The other people just never have tried. I'm guessing he was genuinely surprised by that 3 minutes. I had something…

Yep, no reason why it doesn't work. The only thing to look out for is that if you're using your phone or other mobile device it might be expensive to use roaming internet.

Lol. It says you're a lot less ignorant than me. SLDL, RDL, Sumo RDL? Never even heard of :) But normally you're less ignorant when you admit you don't know stuff than when you think you know everything.

Because of your weight you really need to be more careful than other people might need to be. But there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to run! I would suggest also doing some strengthening exercises for your knees as they have to do a lot of work. Try doing body weight squats (3 times 10 repetitions) and lunges…

wow, really well done!

cinnamon consists the toxic coumarin, not dangerous is small quantities, but could very well give problems to people eating a spoonful with every meal. Other than that, the spoonfull itself is dangerous already with potential longue problems, bloody nose and respiratory problems. I'd so no. Next to that it will not (or…

It's very good of you to look into reason that are making people fat. However, you'd need to do some further research to prove that the two are linked, and that in fact the air pollution is causing the obesity (and not the obese people taking a car causing pollution for example). There are also a number of reasons which…

It'd be polite to link to where you found this as someone must've done a lot of work to compile this list..

w00t! You've just proved you're human. Glad to know :) And even better, you stopped at a small piece of pancake and didn't raid the fridge and cabinets after. I would say that's a good thing. Everybody trips up. Not once, not twice, but many many times. The only way to fail is not get up again.

Feeling demotivated happens to everyone yes, depression luckily not. A depression is a medical condition in which the brain either doesn't make enough happy chemicals, or the receptors that use the happy chemicals just don't work well enough. @OP See a doctor about your depression if you haven't already. Also, buy some…

Ally feel free to eat the calories whenever is good for you. There are some researches that say it's bad to eat less or more per day, but most agree that there's no difference. Look at it this way, you're current weight is result of all calories you've eaten in your life, minus all calories you've used in your whole life.…

You mention you've accepted that you're 155 and are ok with that. Yet you're still eating at a 20% deficit. That doesn't sound like you've accepted the 155. How about not eating at a deficit for a month or two, but just maintaining. It'll give you more calories so it's easier to work with for a bit. And it'll give you…

Sounds like you're trying to do 2 things at the same time. 1. Gain weight/muscles 2. Lose weight/body fat That's a combination that's really hard and probably not one you're achieving. So I'd say pick one of the two for 6-8 weeks and then switch to the other. I'd start with the gain muscles as that'll make losing body fat…

WTF? I'm so happy I don't live in the same apartment building as you.

You cannot out exercise your food. A nice warm pancake breakfast with egg on toast. 800 cals? A lunch of ceasar salad with a lot of dressing and some bread on the side? another 800-1000 cals A dinner of a pizza hut pizza Chicken Supreme 12" is about 2200 cals. drinking with this 1,5l of coca cola add another 700 So without…

Ah, the nice thing is that most of the questions you're asking really aren't that important. As long as you do what works for you it's fine. 1. Doesn't matter. The link provides more links to positive results for intermittent fasting (ie, skipping meal). That works. But if you can't do without dinner have dinner. Whatever…

I would actually say there is no time frame involved. Your weight today is the direct result of the calories eaten and calories used over the course of your whole life. That's how dieting works. You've spread out your calories to eat a lot of them earlier in your life and you're now eating less of them to get back to the…

Some problems with the scale are: 1. It really depends on your fluids. If I need to go to the toilet that can easily have a 2% difference in 'bodyfat'. So water retention will also have a big difference 2. The current only runs through your legs. So if you're top heavy it'll give a too low reading, if you're bottom heavy…

I'm happy for Sensei that he found what works for him. But in general the things he mentioned aren't as strict as he says. "never eat the same foods day in day out " It is easier to get all the right nutrients if you do not eat the same stuff day in day out. But it's not necessary for losing weight especially if you make…

It's as easy as 1-2-3 ;) 1. Weightloss in not linear, you may not lose some weeks, and lose more some other weeks. 2. Count all your calories, also in the weekend. A big part of losing weight is maths, and you can only get the right equation by knowing all the numbers. Also, you might want to open your diary so people can…

Not sure how old the kids are, but I very much doubt there's much happening that can't wait for a bit. Prepare a little, if it's snack time during your workout make sure you prep it before hand. A dirty nappie really can wait for 10-15 minutes for you to finish your workout. Of course depending on how long that workout is.…

You don't need motivation, you need to make it a habit. There will always be days when you're not motivated. But like brushing your teeth, there's basically no days where you skip habits. So, start small. Say you want to be the type of person that works out at the gym 3 days a week? Then start by going once, for example…

Just keep doing what you're doing. Sooner or later you'll lose fat from your legs as well.

Funny that running kills you according to that article. As runners get older on average than people who don't. Next to a whole list of other positive effects of running. So I pasted the first google result of why running is good for you, but there's plenty of research on how running is good for you. Not killing you ;)…
