definitely water with those weight lifting sessions- muscles swell and take on extra fluid for repair and this will show initially as a gain on the scale, but no fear, set your weigh in days the DAY AFER a rest day, or at least a day off of weights, this will be more accurate

I think most people start off with WW cause its widely known, and it infers that the program will keep you accountable. I started off with WW- gave up (i was only 18 and party life got in the way) On my maternity leave I found dailyburn (similar to mfp with a website based tracking and phone app) and I did that for a lil…

I go in clusters, I will run early am before work for a few months, then switch it up to after work, even after dinner in the summer when the evenings are still lighter out and cooler temps. My workout times mainly rely on- hubbys work schedule, my energy levels, what were makin for supper, what time i woke up at which…

We go frequently (2 young kids) and I bring the sumo diaper bag full of treats! Sippy cups for kids with a giant waterbottle for refills. tupperware containers for dividing popcorn (they refuse to share!) hand wipes, stuffy animals (one usually falls asleep) and a change of pants for my son who insists peeing his pants is…

because it works to your benefit at the end of the day. I strength train to build muscle which burns more cals at rest than fat does! I eat back some of my earn exercise cals so I dont feel as weak and hollow and I know eating back some of those cals helps to rebuild my muscles and replenish my glycogen stores for longer…

I think there are varying degrees of shin splints, some are minor and you may be able to run through them, however sometimes there are major muscles and bone pronation that in no way can allow someone to continue with that kinda of pain....I know this first hand. for me-its like a wave effect, i start out walking and…

Are you forcing the water down or drinking out of genuine thirst? Is your thirst abnormal? Is the recent consumption of water more than your usual?

WTG! the biggest improvement for me has been using the settings for a 7 day rolling average on calories- It gives me a number update daily on how many calories I am UNDER my weekly goal- I use that bit of extra allowance for the cheat type of meals-like jack astors last night! Before I would have gone over my daily calorie…

My BMR is around 1690 My TDEE fluctuates (I have a fitbit) anywhere from 2508 to 3200 depending on my work day, if i feel like a run, snow shovelling, grocery run.....kids! So eating to an average TDEE doesnt work for me. MFP is set to a 1lb loss, and I think before logging anything it has a measly goal of 1790 cals to…

One of the most EPIC naps I have ever had was right after a hardcore run!

I know me, and if its not at 5am…

I have a desk job, and I thought I was sedentary aside from my planned exercise-usually a run or some chalean extreme or turbofire dvd. I am a binger and thought that was my problem, I just have no self control and I binge- I even went thru my work's employee assistance counselling program for this issue. THEN- Hubby got…
