Tri-tip, Couscous, grilled squash & red peppers, corn on the cob.

this is a great post I've never tried them, but really wanted to venture off and give them a go. I was mostly afraid of not knowing what to do with them.....problem solved. thanks!

awww-some!

my best days are during the work week and not on the weekends, for me, that means leaving most of cals for the end of the day. breakfast: 300 kcals lunch & afternoon snack: 500 kcals dinner & late night snacks: 1000 kcals on the weekends i tend to only have 2 meals during the day because it feels like prepping food and…

damn bro, it looks like you found the fountain of youth. all your hard work is paying off, big time! thanks for posting

rotisserie chicken, rotini pesto salad with zucchini & cherry tomatoes, corn on the cob

that's hilarious, i did the same when i first joined any stand outs? while the images are still fresh in your mind. Mine: ChrisDavey Thai Food Feast

Eggs, Pastrami, Red Peppers, Mushrooms, Shallots. 402 Kcals

nailed it. I keep mine open for the exact same reason.

very good read indeed, we gotta keep reminding folks that online calculators are just estimates. be diligent at calorie tracking for a couple of months in order to have your own data, then extrapolate your own TDEE from your own data, then adjust accordingly

how about slowing your jacks down so you can do it for five minutes straight now you can enter into MFP 5 minutes of jumping jacks. please report back what it says for cals burned.

i eat sweets all the time and don't plan on ever stopping. just fit them into your calorie goals, but you definitely need to eat these with moderation while you are cutting edit to say: if you still have a problem meeting your calorie goals incorporating sweets, then try finding another source of a sugar rush, i personally…

6.2 miles is an accomplishment on its own. no matter how it gets done, stand tall & be proud! then tell yourself, 1/2 marathon.....I'm coming for you next!

bro! you are such a comedian congrats on losing 96 lbs

couple of suggestions. 1) make sure you update mapmywalk settings to your new weight or it will calculate calories burned on your starting weight. go under setting -> profile, then update your weight 2) yes, your math is correct, but you dont have to eat all your exercise calories back since you are just estimating how…

baby back ribs, corn, asparagus

a lot of nice graphs so far. here's mine, but there's a lot the graph doesn't say so here it goes: *1st 6-7 weeks i was using MFP setting to lose 2 lbs / week, then I was forced to up my cals based on "feeling famished", apparently that wasn't an issue when I had bigger reserves *didnt have a food scale the first 4 weeks…

OP, did you learn any more tricks? I ordered a caliper myself, hasnt arrived yet but ive been practicing my pinching. the problem with all the videos I see, is that all the models are always FIT!, and I've got a serious belly roll, so am I suppose to grab the whole thing as much as I can grab, hmm, I dont know. since i'll…

android, HTC phone, works great. my favorite feature is tracking calories using a weekly average rather than daily (found only on phone and not website) click on weekly, then look at the bar on the far RIGHT, that is where you are calories wise during a Mon - Sun cycle and you can see if you are below or above your daily…

hiya peeps, i could use your assistance. I always try my best to track my calories but a lot of times I eat stuff that I can't quite figure out. I started tracking calories for the first time in my life on Feb2013. if you guys could help me estimate, that that would be great. you're looking at a slice of veggie pizza from…

hiya peeps, i could use your assistance. I always try my best to track my calories but a lot of times I eat stuff that I can't quite figure out. if you guys could help me estimate, that that would be great. you're looking at a slice of veggie pizza from my local mom & pop store. It weighs 6.7 oz or 0.418 pounds. I really…

there's quite a few weight training exercises you can do with just your bodyweight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodyweight_exercise you can also get yourself some heavier bands, a door stopper to use with the bands. Look on you-tube for workouts.

i love it how you have the same great smile in your before and after pics

I saw that a lot of folks that build muscle chimed in on this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/996906--you-can-t-build-muscle-on-a-calorie-deficit

Impressive!

just curious here, if you just track your water for the day, will it still go back to ZERO?

go on a 5 mile run on the pavement and see what that feels like. I suspect it'll be uncomfortable even with better shoes. you also know your pace so do the math and see how long its going to take you to complete 13.1, we're talking about hours of running on the pavement. On the other hand if you are going to walk some, jog…

that's 1 pound per week. A lot of folks round here would love to have that kind of success. great job and keep it going

good for you OP, here's the plan: 1. switch doctors 2. embrace your new lifestyle (eat a little less, move a little more)

we had too many leftovers in the fridge that i couldn't bring myself to have a "typical egg breakfast" so I decided to have this instead. Sirloin Steak with Bacon, Tomatoes, Onions, Garlic, Pinto beans with fresh cheese, raw jalapenos, avocado, radishes, & a flour tortilla
