i say Go for It! dont forgot to log it as accurately as possible, that way, you'll know what an All-Out-day looks like on your food diary i've tried to have a day like that, but after a couple of really nice treats.......you know what happens......... Cravings gone and i just back to a normal day either way, let us know…

Wha-choo talkin' bout Willis

the problem with TDEE calorie goals is you are expected to workout the same amount week after week after week after week and if you slack off on your exercises you could be eating too much. i think that's why a lot of people have questions about it all the time and say hmmm, maybe its not working. a better solution for you…

no matter where the truth may be, you can definitely show off what you already have as your body starts to shed off excess fat bottom line: please continue lifting while on a deficit

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/993576-why-you-gain-weight-if-you-eat-more-than-your-cut i use my browser to bookmark topics i want to read again, so they're quite easy to find again without having to bump everything

doesn't really matter. However, I would really invest in a food scale as my first priority. It will make sure you are counting the exact number of ounces of chicken, beef, steak, fish, etc. in your food choices. you'll have success is you can track properly the other trick is to find foods that dont leave you hungry in a…

it's completely optional. if you do hit it, it will tell you if you were under your calories for the day, and what your mathematical projected weight will be in 5 five weeks if everyday was exactly like today. Welcome to MFP!

the interviews were brutal

today during my cool down phase, i was standing up, legs straight, wanted to get a good stretch so i started moving toward my toes.....and voila! I touched my toes one part better fit and one part less belly i guess

go back to photobucket, click on edit, pick photo, click on resize, select 600 as your width then apply and click on the replace original, save now you dont have to re-post the picture, it will automatically update your original post. keep up the awesome work.

all calculators are estimate, try a couple more to see what you get http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators.html

i second the above. why not rest up, left your knee rest and heal properly. sounds like the perfect opportunity to practice maintenance eating while you recover. just figure out what your sedentary calories are.

looking good man, congrats on all your hard work. i was intrigued by the quote above, I feel like I might be on the same path. where i eat whatever i want as long as i stay within my calorie goal. I'm cutting right now, since I am obese, but once i get to goal weight, i can just imagine the liberty i'll give myself by…

ABSoLuTely what's the alternative, deny yourself so much that you quit and go back to your old lifestyle. hopefully 7 days per week will turn into 5 days per week and so on i too have a major sweet tooth

i don't use cheat days, but if I did I would probably chicken-out at the end of the day and just try to hit my maintenance calories for my current weight.

yeah i got suckered into that infomercial once. gave up after 5 minutes and just googled what the five foods are. i think the catch is they (2 fitness trainers) want you to buy their "how to lose weight program" i only remember that orange juice is on that list, which coincidentally i stopped drinking until i get to goal…

way to go Mike! truly inspirational

nice. even if you had gained 5lbs on vacation you've got the tools to take them off again.

lady, you totally rock. i have pizza several times a month and its always from the local mom/pop places, so damn good. i think i would it eat it more often if i knew how to log it accurately. normally, 3 slices does the trick for me. I like it with regular crust, lots of veggies, and 1 meat topping. i'd make it myself, but…

when all you've got left.......is one sleeping position that doesn't ache

if you are having a hard time meeting your calorie goals..... what's more important, food? or beverage calories? nuff said

if your weekly routine is super super clean, you might be feeling deprived of foods i call treats, in my case its a sweet tooth, ice cream, cake i make it a habit of having treats at least 3-4 times during the week so i dont ever feel like im depriving myself of anything. i think that is what's keeping my new eating habits…

my advice act like you are not on a diet, dont work out, just tract your food and carry a 500 calorie deficit and forget about it i think people who make it too difficult for themselves just quit and leave

no one but yourself can decide what your ideal weight should be, its a matter of personal preference. but before you start losing weight, why not just try a strength training program. lifting weights will most likely achieve a more muscular and athletic build rather than diet alone.

try changing your cardio workouts with walking http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/diet.fitness/08/29/healthmag.walk.fat/ http://www.prevention.com/fitness/fitness-tips/lose-your-belly-fat-8-week-walking-workout

loving this thread but did you know that serving size has nothing to do with the recommended amount of something to eat. basically the way it works is each manufacture gets to decide what calorie number they would like on their package, any number whatsoever .... so how do they get away with this "lie": the answer is…

you're going to love the results and the soreness too, who knew walking so much would leave me that sore. i enjoy walking, but sometimes i have to force myself to walk during my lunch breaks and it's really paying off. even when my head didn't want to, my brain would check-out but my legs would "just do it" have fun and…

congrats! i am looking forward to that day as well

this is a nice pace table http://www.aprioriathletics.com/fitnessmath//pace/ you might just have to log that you are walking

even with weekly weigh ins, there is plenty of up & down fluctuations. if that doesnt bother you so much, weekly is fine. otherwise i would recommend every two weeks or on the 1st day of each month. it all has to do with how its going to affect your mental aspect of weight loss.
