Congrats on your start and welcome to the group. One bit of advice. If you are a goal setter remember to *continue* to set goals. For example if your goal is to do something by your wedding, "congrats on that also" when that comes then what is next. What I have found for myself is it is so easy to "quit" once you have…

I have a Fruit Protein Shake/Smoothie as a snack later in the evening.. This is my night "ice cream" or snack fix.

Congrats.. Savor the personal victory...

My guess is you would be sick and skinny/scrawny...

Bring the holiday candy into your workplace and be a big hit with your coworkers..

The good thing about Body Pump is that you can start whever you want. I don't think there is a need to try and build before attending the class.

Based on the amount of money you are probably spending on coffee every day. My recommendation would be to get a good coffee machine for at home. Make your coffee before you leave for work and can use zero calorie sweetner and cream yourself. Make your own healthier coffee and drink it on the way past DD..

Looks like interesting articles.. Will read/watch later..

What type of surface are you running on outside? Is it asphalt or concrete or something else. If possible to changing the surface up. If you are running on the asphalt road try moving over a bit and running in the gravel / grass on the side of the road. If you are running on concrete to to find an asphalt surface to run…

I can wrap the towel around me at the gym and not have to hold it without falling off..

Congrats..

Get educated. Read a lot and take everything with a bit of skepticism, expermient and find what works for you.

Will read later.. Thanx..

Read a lot, get educated. Take everything you read with a bit of skepticism and find what works for you.

Try and look at it a bit larger then a single day. If you were under by a few hundred calories yesterday and over a few hundred today it equals out in the end. The app has this magic thing called a day where it turns over exactly at midnight our bodies don't just hit a reset button when the clock stricks 12:00 am. Try and…

Can't stress this enough. Find one or maybe two things to do for two weeks. After you have done those add one more on. Also maybe not even go all the way, for example soda instead of saying I won't drink any soda anymore say I'll cut back to only 25% of what I was drinking before. Set small goals, achieve that goal make it…

From a resistance training perspective one routine you can look at is StrongLifts 5X5 if you have access to a gym with free weights. (http://stronglifts.com/) This does a good job of starting you out easy and growing..

Just wanted to add something to the commend "to late to eat more". It may be to late from a MFP standpoint; why? because of this mythical thing called midnight when one day turns into another. So if I eat something at 11:50 pm it gets tracked for the calories against day 1, however if I eat the same thing at 12:10 am it…

Advice.. Listen to your body.. I did the same thing five years ago. I lost about 70 lbs, ran a 5k and then committed to running a Marathon. About half way through my training my left foot started hurting. A few months later and when the actual race rolled around my foot was on fire. I can say I finished all but one of my…

Sometimes as you said it only takes one "miss" at the gym and all of a sudden you find that it becomes a streak. HOWEVER, it often only takes a single "hit" and all of a sudden you are right back in the swing of things and going regularly. My recommendation is to find the ability to force yourself to go once or twice. Once…

So let me ask it this way. If I took my multi-vitamin crushed it up, dissolved it in a glass of water and drank it could I count that glass as water? Now say I took my multi-vitamin ate it and washed it down with a glass of water, could I count that glass as water? The first one definitly breaks the rules mentioned above,…

Try moving your feet around.. Also periodically wiggle your toes for a while and clench / unclench your feet with your toes. This has helped me to keep the tingles away.

We have made it with rice and hamburger, will have to give this one a try..

This.. ^^^^ If you were training for the Tour De France on your bike it might be different. Whenever works best for you is the best time of day.

Try this calculator out: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ With the information you have given I come up with the following: BMR: 1751 TDEE: 2714 From there you can determine the deficite you need to hit based on what your goals are.

This.. I think the study quoted for the most part supports the Calorie in / Calorie out model. For me the biggest piece that is in the article [Note it is not a study] is the following: If I am watching tv or in general being lazy late in the evening and start eating it is to easy to get out of control. Sometimes it is…

What was said before. Couple of other things to look for when talking about different weights. 1) Did you weigh yourself on different scales. I know my home scale and the scale at the gym are different by about 3 lbs. 2) Did you weigh yourself at the same time of day. You can weigh much different from morning throughout…

First thing to do is *honestly* determine why you hit the fridge at night. Is it because you are hungry and really need to eat or is it boredom eating where you are watching tv and just blindly snacking. Based on why you are eating you can take different action. 1) If you are really hungry and your body is craving…

Ask him what he wants you to do. Does he just want reminders know and then, maybe he does want someone to be on his case about it. Sometimes just saying something like: Are you still hungry when grabbing for a snack in the evening will remind people that they are just eating out of boredom. But again, ask him what *he*…

These all look great. Going to have to especially try the coconut bars. First time I have heard of Quinoa though and will have to see if I can find it at the store.
