Also, sweating. That is another good reason to drink water. Being properly hydrated will help you workout harder. Remember, water isn't a 'permanent' weight. Your body regulates your water weight so if you take in too much, you'll just sweat or pee more. In the long run, it is healthier and for me personally, it makes me…

The short answer is that drinking water is healthy for you. *insert links to water is good for you here* The reason that you'll want to hear is that drinking lots of water increases your metabolic rate and consequently the number of calories you'll burn in a day. Basically, most of the calories you burn in a day (aside…

I disagree with this. This could be true if you are only dieting but with good regular exercise, you can eat plenty and not be hungry. If I'm hungry, I eat. The one part of this though is that the "I can't eat any more" feeling is not the same as "I'm not hungry". I try to stay comfortably full and not get to that "food…

I would guess that the issue is what you are eating. I used to eat 2.5k to 3k calories every day and now I'm at about 1800 a day + lots of exercise.

That having been said, I'm guessing you haven't had yours measured with a cardio stress test. If you have and you are certain that your individual maxHR is 189, then I would say that could be…

I think choccilliman is right. Not quite sure why others haven't mentioned this but I would suggest seeking profession assistance.

I eat what I want but I wouldn't think of it as cheating. Cheating (to me) implies doing something immoral or unethical and eating something that isn't good for you isn't those things. In the end, you are only accountable to yourself. Every day for me is a step in the right direction. Even if I'm not hitting my goal…

I did 6 weeks of logging EVERYTHING I ate. Now, I know what I can get by without logging. When I'm hungry and I eat a late zucchini snack, I don't need to put it in. For me, MFP is for breakfast and lunch so I know what I should make for dinner. I rarely go back and look at what I've eaten (unless I get an upset stomach or…
