  • Well I believe the alternative would be a good balanced compost (greens and browns n such) I make and use a non manure compost in my own garden, not too difficult, but like I said, I'm just curious. I'm a full meat eater, but I do think about things other than just what I do. :) My idea of perfection is a nice country area…
  • I'm a lying *&^#% when it comes to what I can do that requires less effort than the alternative. I convinced myself of this twice, I have lost over 30 pound with MFP when I first started I was 165 going on 150/145. started again this year at 181. So NOPE not me. If the schedule is an issue, ditch the schedule. I eat freely…
  • They make it seem like the "easy" way, but honestly it's only the easy way for them to line their pockets with your cash. It may work for you for a while, but it's not likely something you'll do the rest of your life. Eat your food. Take a week, just log what you normally eat, then turn that food into a deficient, make…

  • You definitely didn't waste that one! I think you'll do just fine around here, but don't apologize :) Welcome to MFP.
  • I eat 2 -5 meals/snacks a day... I just kinda graze, other times I eat large meals... Depends on how I want to eat for the day... :)
  • In for the swim! Running requires double strap down already and they still bounce around...One time- I decided I was going to do jumping jacks each morning... Lazy- tried it in my "jammies" one day= pain.. No running nakie for me..
  • Adding more veggies n fruit wouldn't be bad advice. I would hope that ^^ is what he meant... : /
  • Hey there, I experienced something similar when I was pregnant I went up to 206 pounds... Within six months of having my daughter I lost about 70 pounds, putting me at my lowest adult weight... Looking back now, I see my pictures as thin, but at the time I still felt fat... I was 150 before I got pregnant and it was at a…
  • The food was likely high in sodium. As supertact stated 17500 calories OVER maintenance would be required to gain that in fat. Keep at it. Also certain medications, stressors, hormones, etc can lead to water retention which will level out in the end. Watch what you eat and keep at that elliptical, but don't let this be…
  • Are you drinking a lot of water during your workout?
  • Body fat calculators and scales are highly unreliable... Calipers might be a better judge, but I've heard there's up to 5% error just about every method except perhaps the scans, and even though are of various reliabilities.... You appear to be on the lean side as your weight to height ratio shows. I'd definitely not think…
  • Sunset- I'm a night owl... usually the sun shining in my eyes first thing in the morning is a terrible sign...
  • I take my grapes off the stem and weigh the remains (core and any unwanted peels- like mango, orange etc) when I'm done lol. If I'm unable to do this way I'll estimate, but generally I weigh everything I can. If I'm going to count it, I'm going to eat it...(not counting if not eating)
  • If you do not weight your fruits and veggies and have a small deficient you could easily have no deficient when you're done...
  • I do this... bananas and anything that I'm not eating the whole thing(a mango is about 2/3 edible by weight seriously)
  • When considering if you are eating too little it is important to consider your NET calories, not just what you're eating. If you were eating 1400+ calories and not exercising you would probably be okay.(I would be losing weight at close to 1lb per week as my lazy burn is just about 2000) In my opinion you are not eating…
  • with an second extra serving of turkey... gotta get that protein..
  • I don't know the specifics of what you're going through other than the daylight fast(unless I'm mistaken) I would eat the pasta if you like it, but maybe have the turkey and veggies too(I'd just skip the bread if I'm already carbing on pasta) :)
  • I eat breakfast every day! It may not be until 2pm, but I break my fast every day. ;)
  • I run/ walk/ bike in my small, safe neighborhood. Only you can decide if you believe what you said or not. :)
  • Also in to read my scientific opinions maybe? : /
  • Read it- very repetitive, talks a bit in circles. Niacin is a vitamin(one of the b vitamins) not sure how it reacts with your fatty tissue, but it is good to clean out for a pee test... So I've heard anyways, from a close and reliable source(or multiple siblings). I don't attest to it, not am I recommending testing it out.…
  • Here's my entire advice regarding the "knockers" Tie those suckers down and hope the supports don't snap!!
  • Okay I didn't read every comment... but I did reply to a couple of things.. Without context hard to answer, but Here's my 2 cents... I am 5'9", 27, female, about 30-35% body fat based on the picture charts(I'll worry about the precision when it gets down lower) I eat around 2000 calories a day... Yes- I do not record my…
  • Yum! (mmmm greasy chicken haha) Quinoa
  • Nope- love it... work out for it... EAT it... yummmmmmmm. I do add spinach(added directly in) and veggie sides and other things to help stretch the meal out so that it takes longer to eat and helps give my full cues time to kick in... I don't even bother trying to have a small portion though, I'll just keep coming back.. I…
  • Thanks for sharing. Wonderful work you've done! I tend to agree with you as well, some of the greatest advice that I've read came out with snark! :)
  • Throw out the idea of healthy and unhealthy foods, give up the restrictions and eat real food, just with in your goals. That sexypants link up there ^^ is spot on btw, totally worth the read!!
  • I usually gain <5lbs during TOM, but it's just bloat and it goes away after it's done(couple of days after)
  • I don't do "treats", but I don't restrict... I think the rewarding process is just a different mentality than I want to keep. I eat. If I want something I'll eat it too, but not so much as a reward. IMO the battle is mostly mental...
