I think the idea is the way of eating that works best for you, is the one to go with, based on your preferences/intolerances/whatever. There's obviously different considerations with each of these in terms of overall nutrition and health impacts, but despite all of that, the calorie deficit that mattes most in terms of…

I'm waiting for the Forerunner 225 to be available in the UK next month. Sick of chest strap HRMs, I feel like I breathe better without them, which may be in my head but I'd still prefer to rid of it. and the 225 is going to use the Mio HRM which gets good reviews for accuracy. I have a vivofit but don't really use it…

Love this. I really need this t-shirt. Yes, this too.

During the week, I'm in the 'big breakfast makes me hungrier all day' camp. I eat light breakfasts and lunches and look forward to a big dinner. On the weekend, I sometimes skip breakfast at breakfast time to instead have a massive brunch-time meal, then a light dinner later. This is what works best for me, keeps me from…

Chardonnay and rose wine...gross. any sweet cocktails, also gross. Anything Else is fine with me!

not sure about the app, but on the PC, you can click see nutritional info and check it before you add - you can also confirm if it's a correct entry, or edit it if not.

yea, not good in coffee. but I've started preferring my oatmeal cooked in coconut milk. and weirdly, i like almond milk (unsweetened) on it's own.

I think her website says 4-5 times a week - I've done it twice, doing abut 5 days a week each time, 10 total workouts per level, so it takes a little longer than 30 days but let me mix in running too and I got good results (inches lost on waist, arms, legs) both times.

I'll admit to this one - I have my diary open to friends as I thought it would make me more accountable, and to an extent, it has. But I'm too embarrassed to log when I've had a binge, so if I know I'm going to be over by more than 10% of my calorie limit, I just don't log it. At this point I'm not sure I would even if it…

plain as others have said, then sweeten with your own additions like fruit or whatever. also, the low fat ones tend to be higher in sugar as they often add sugar to improve the flavour lost through reducing the fat. So go for full fat varieties, which not only taste better but will help you feel more sated too.

depends on how well you function without the usual amount of sleep - if you can manage, then go to class anyway. if not, either swap this out as a rest day and make up for it a different day, or sleep in and do a workout in the evening instead.

I live near a deer park, and they are so used to people that you can get pretty close and they just ignore you, or pause their chewing to have a look. It's only during rutting season that you have to be a bit more careful as they can be a bit more aggressive, but they also retreat to the inaccessible parts of the park that…

agree with the other replies - make sure you try to measure in the same spot, tape close but not digging/tight, and depending on how much you need to lose, you might be losing it in areas you aren't measuring - have you measured arms/thighs? Regardless, you did mention you lost an inch around the waist, so the scale and…

Pasta. I will eat it until I'm feeling sick. So I rarely cook it at home now.

Hi all, just thought I'd drop a motivational message for you all who are doing 30DS - stick it out to the end, you won't regret it! I have completed it 3 times now, each time with slightly heavier weights. I was doing it 4-5 days a week, each level 8 or 9 times, and got great results. Got stronger, lost a couple inches…

I'd definitely do some strength training or at least mix it up with some cardio stuff other than elliptical (assuming you don't have any injuries/conditions that mean you can't safely do that) so that you don't get bored of the same activity twice a day... you might find something you enjoy more!

red was a nickname of mine and I used to always start gamer tags and forum names with red something - redpandora i used in a few places. 56 is my lucky number.

whole egg! lots of nutrition in the yolk. Although sometimes when I'm tight on calories, I will admittedly top up a 2 whole egg omelette with those carton egg whites to bulk it out a bit. I'd never go egg white only in an omelette/scramble. The only time i use egg whites only is when i'm making meringue! :smiley:

dichotomy

well, i suppose whole wheat would be just the whole wheat grain, where as whole grain could be wheat and/or other grains too. I'm sure the ingredients of the product would specify which grains are included. 'Healthier' is relative. do you consider 'healthier' to mean more nutrients, more fiber, balanced macros, low…

I think you've misunderstood the thread. People are commenting on how weight loss/gain has affected the appearance of their tattoos, not claiming that the tattoos had any impact on the actual weight loss/gain. OP - mine haven't been impacted but I think that is more due to placement as my weight loss was primarily from…

i've heard it's to do with the freshness of the eggs too - the fresher they are, the more they stick, so the ones you've had for a week before you hard boil them tend to peel more easily. I don't know how true that is, but the last few times I've had some that were really hard to peel, I'd just bought them. So it seems…

This really made me laugh!!

That's amazing, I'm sorry but also its made me laugh in an otherwise stressful day, so thanks for missing the fine print.

definitely a glitch - i had one lucky day where it told me i had something like 215,763.254353 calories. Shockingly i was unable to eat anywhere near that goal and it changed back to where it should be after a couple hours. :smile: As the others said, try and reset it, even via custom setting if needed, and it should be…

I suffer from this as well - I agree with other comments that exercise helps, anything I can do to stop from going into the cupboard and eating everything in sight!If the overeating also stresses you out, you will only make it worse, so try an activity that is healthier. I will clean, take a shower, do exercise, go for a…

its hard but you get great results if you stick it out. i've done it a few times through now, each time with heavier weights, and get great results - stronger, more muscle tone especially in my shoulders, and lost 3 inches off my waist. now i just do the workouts now and then in between running days to keep my strength up.

just how excited i'd get about wearing clothes i haven't been able to in years - who would have thought i'd squeal with joy when i comfortably buttoned a pair of 5 year old, super cheap jeans!?!

you look fantastic, love the happy confident smile!

Absolutely not.it's dangerous and unhealthy as you need more calories than that just to maintain normal body functions. You need to speak to your doctor.
