This is good to hear I'm not crazy. I mean, I ate pretty horribly from Thanksgiving to New Year's but I've also clocked some of my fastest times [ and gained a few pounds, too :) ]

That's actually pretty incredible to me. Most people have no problem exercising a lot - balancing calories is and has always been the killer for me. No regrets for the night, but I just ate half a cupcake and downed half a bottle of dark beer. Bad boy. One, I think the key for exercising is to do override your body's…

This is a problem not only for people losing weight, for anyone who wants to do anything. What I'm guessing you feel is this sort of emptiness that comes with the fact that you have a lot of shoulds in your life. "Sure, I burned 900 calories, but I SHOULD be thin already." "Sure, I had an awesome day, but I SHOULDN'T have…

Hi all, My name is Sean. I live in Mira Mesa but I spend most of my time in Downtown or Hillcrest working or at coffee shops. Found out about MFP because my startup company is developing a self-tracking app and I've heard a lot about MFP through the Quantified Self movement. I'm a frequent runner of Miramar Lake, which is…

Agreed. Work out before work. Hard? I'm telling you, do it for a week and you'll be hooked. I have a naturally wandering mind and working out focuses the heck out of me. I typically drink less coffee, too.

I suppose it's true - the existence of trigger foods and the near impossibility of reversing it all. But isn't that all paradigm? A person who doesn't believe that a cookie is a trigger food never thinks of it as anything besides what it is - a cookie. The idea that I've gotta pay dues for the rest of my life based on…

I suppose my goal, even more than just losing the pounds, is to get to a point where I can just be a guy who eats when he's hungry and stops. I think that's more important than anything. I'm a pretty ambitious guy and it totally sucks when I'm pursuing my dreams and the only thing I can think about is whether or not I…

I'm sure what I'm supposed to be eating is around 2,000 calories and burning from there, but my experience is that I tend to overeat whenever I'm eating 2k. I'm strange. Either I go way above 2k or far below it (at least when I'm counting). As for trying to reduce my times, one thing I know for certain is that I am a much…

We're friends on here, but I'd just like to reiterate... Yeah, totally down. What helps keep you motivated, btw?

hahahaha, I just want to say that I love what this thread became. Yeah, I'm referring to heavier beers. My favorite ones? I'm really keen on Karl Strauss' Amber Lager and just reds and browns in general. Starting to get into IPAs - never thought that would happen. In fact, this time last year, I refused to drink beer.…

There's the psychological idea of the "positive feedback loop". Let's say you weigh a half pound less tomorrow than you did today (even if, in reality, it's 'just water weight'). Would that be empowering to you? Imagine you worked out really hard for an hour and your scale said 3 lbs lighter than it did earlier in the day.…

Thanks ladies :) Will definitely stock up more on fruit and, what the hell, I love pesto sauce so I'll learn a few things in the kitchen.
