Suspenders? One piece leotard? Safety pin to your shirt? Sorry I'm not helpful...

8 glasses of water a day is a myth. Google it. You do not need near that amount of water. To much water can over work your kidneys.

Try a different protein powder. Look for one that contains Whey Isolate if your not using that already. I like protein powder in my greek yogurt. YMMV.

Now don't be getting me in trouble with the wife. But you look incredibly healthier. Good job!

It's psychological and if it helps you then you should do it.

For some it's a easy meal and an easy source of protein. If you've tried one brand of protein and didn't like it try others. They very widely in taste. The more expensive ones usually taste better and dissolve better than some of the cheap ones. Often the directions call for mixing with water but mixing in yogurt or milk…

Be clear from the start of what you want. If you want them to teach you a program then you need to tell them that. Some trainers like to constantly mix it up. They'll be looking to give you a balanced work out but make it different each time. This will make it difficult for you to follow. Instead after they get you going,…

LOL

Haven't tried but both sound good.

Do what you gotta do but the important thing is to do it. Have you considered upping the intensity? Pushups, pullups, squats, lunges? Lots of body weight exercises can be done with little to no equipment. If your doing 50 jumping jacks at a time your probably ready to do something more. Don't underestimate the value of…

What does your workout look like? Try switching it up. If your doing all cardio try strength training. For all the people that have just started to lose weight and have a lot to lose the first 10 lbs is easy. If your close to your body's healthy weight it's going to be harder lose. What anyone else eats for calories…

Great info. I'm trying to get off the machines and into free weights. I read NROL for life. It seemed way complicated. I'm reading starting strength it seems less complicated but the book is long. I may just hire a trainer.

If you give in now that hill you have to climb everyday is just going to get harder. If what you've been doing isn't working then try something else. If your not exercising then exercise. If your not weighing and measureing your food then weigh and measure. If your walking try swimming, if your running try strength…

8 glasses of water a day is a myth, I'm surprised that wasn't listed.

I think she means if the OP has a higher body fat percentage then it would be easier to lose that 20 vs if she was taller and had a lower body fat percentage it will be harder.

That could be a stretch goal. If the OP has just started the first 10 might come off fast. If she's been going a while it may be harder. Under eating and over training isn't the way to get there though.

I call BS on that. We all have different ways of defining and working towards goals.

Protein needs are based on your goals and activity levels. Like most things to much of a good thing can be bad. MFP sets the protein levels for normal people not for people who are exercising intensely. Like most things that MFP recommends if your going to go beyond what is considered normal or safe you should be getting…

That's my favorite In and Out. It was always the first place I'd hit after picking up the rental car. Fortunately they don't have those on this side of the country. I haven't had any fast food since joining MFP and have only eaten out a few times since then. When I have I've picked places with healthier options. I used to…

Because most of us are working to stay under that number not get up to it. We got overweight from overeating not from under eating. Most of us don't need to be encouraged to eat, we need to be encouraged to not over eat. That is why people congratulate each other when staying under the goal. My goal is set to 1lb loss a…

I hated going to the gym at first, I hated running even more. I found as I was able to do more I enjoyed it more. I started running because it was measurable and I found if I worked at it I could run faster longer. I like feeling good. I have not felt this good in many years. That inspires me to do more. I enjoy the gym.…

You need a new nutrionist. To much water can cause kidney damage. The 8 glass thing is a myth. To the OP many of the cleanses out there are more harmful than helpful. Do some research. I think you will find an overwhelming amount of information from credible sources to back this up. No one has yet to produce anything more…

Many people like to compete. The extra motivation is sometimes beneficial. Stretch goals are great. They can give you that bit of extra motivation to get it done. I'm not a fan of easy goals. I don't know what people do when they don't hit their goals. It's not always about competing, sometimes it's about accountability.…

Show me a study that isn't a website trying to sell me something that backs this up.

You could try sprinkling a couple pieces so that if its horrible your not wasting a scoop of protein body or a bag of popcorn.

I think I remember in another thread someone from the UK getting it from Amazon for a reasonable price.

How much of the moisture was lost to evaporation?

You all are funny. Your "Stats" are an estimate. You simply can't apply the formula's to food that you apply to your investments and expect it to be accurate. You have to accept the inaccuracy. Everything with food is an estimate. From how much calories are in it to how much you burn off per activity to how much of it is…
