def worth it

are you eating back your exercise calories? at this point you'd probably lose more if you ate more. but as ravenesque said, 3 lbs/week is not healthy or sustainable unless you are morbidly obese and under a doctor's supervision.

thinking that i've worked really hard lately and i deserve a day off. doesn't work if i've already had my weekly rest day >.<
-
what was your calorie intake like on the day where you got the extra 10, steep miles? if you didn't eat back up to goal despite the extra work, i think that might have had an effect when you tried to go to a moderate-intense workout the next day. you definitely did the right thing by taking off, though. today will probably…

can someone just mention that ONE WEEK on a new eating plan is not nearly enough time to know if it's working or not? give it at least 4 weeks before you decide if you need to change something.

the higher fat versions should have less

this happens to me. i have no clue why. it's not an issue to "restrict" to keep myself around my goal on workout days, but on rest days i just want to eat ALL the food. frustrating.

how long is the "normal" ride? also, how long are the rides they have every saturday? sorry if i'm being stupid and not seeing this somewhere

peanut butter! hummus and veggies more peanut butter go ahead and slap some butter on cooke veggies or toast full fat (or at least not 0 fat) milk/yogurt/cottage cheese

you're eating too little. make sure you're eating back your exercise calories. check your BMR and make sure you're netting that number minimum each day.

i think i understand where you're coming from...not TRYING to judge other people, but can't help but think about whether or not it's a choice that YOU would make for YOURSELF and then projecting it onto the other person. i do find myself doing it, at the gym as well, but i'm trying to break that habit because i need to…

fat free have extra sugar. sugar free probably have lots of other preservatives. i like to just mix a packet of generic hot cocoa mix into my cup. not that that's necessarily saving me from preservatives. it's only like 80 calories though.

this is pretty much what happens to me. it doesn't help that i don't eat back exercise calories and usually do a 2-4 hour bike ride on saturdays. really knocks up the caloric intake, especially if you throw a binge (or binge drinking) on top of it.
-
i think you could probably start moving up to the next level. give it a try for a month and if you're not losing (or gaining), knock off 100 calories a day for another month and see how that treats you.

if you're not eating back your exercise calories, that is correct, you are not eating enough.

i use splenda to save calories. however, if you can fit it in to your calorie budget, i'd always defer to the real thing.
-
i believe this is what you're supposed to do. if you want to, though, feel free to eat a little less. i wouldn't go as low as 1200 though.

because cows milk will kill you, duh

this is blowing my mind. i'm legitimately going to look into this. OP, i would suggest tracking your calcium on here if you're concerned about it. you can get calcium from a lot of other sources that others have mentioned. also when i was younger, my doctor told me to take Tums at the end of the day if i didn't have 3…

have you washed the strap in the washing machine?

how long do you think you're going to have to eat like this? just take some ibuprofen and chew slowly until you figure out how to eat with them on. you're not going to have to be on a liquid diet for the entire time you have them

it's all about the overall deficit. if at the end of a certain period of time (say, a week) you're under the amount of calories you would need to maintain your weight, then you will lose weight. the mobile app has a nifty little chart that shows your daily intake and then your average intake over the week.

no, it takes the same amount of energy to metabolize1500 calories whether you eat them in 100 calorie incrememnts or all at once. just eat when you're hungry.

protein shakes are not a magical supplement to help with weight loss. they are a way to help you hit your protein goals if you're unable to do it through regular foods. if you don't have an issue meeting your protein goals, you don't NEED to add them.

well *kitten*. i hope you're getting a settlement or something?? try the rowing machine, if your gym has one.
