There is also a lot to be said for mindful eating... that is not eating because it's in front of you, but conciously enjoying your food. Taking a small bite, chewing it properly, enjoying the time to eat. Not rushing from one thing to another, shoving half a burger in your face so you can move on.

I wonder if people would post results if they didn't have anything noticable though... like if an already pretty fit person did insanity instead of their normal routine, then saw no results, they would just shrug and move on with their lives. I think for most of us, it's because we are doing something we weren't doing…

I went camping for the weekend and came home 3.5 lbs heavier!

I have eaten chili from wendy's where i would have SWORN that it was old hamburgers. To be honest, i consdered it resourceful and not gross. I see nothing wrong with reducing waste.

my rule with fast food is grilled chicken, no cheese, still expect 500 calories

When i can't research my salad dressing in advance. I try to get my hands on a side of salsa. Extra veggies can't hurt you ever. Unless they are killer zombie veggies, but i don't think they have those a chik-a-fil

I would be super careful about what you do right after baby is born... i started jogging and got slapped on the hand from my doctor... even though i had the easiest delivery, she was just about to give me the ok for "long easy walks" when i tol her i was jogging three times / week :S Make sure you are getting enough…

the best part about fat is it han\gs on to the least desirable places forever (for me my butt and thighs) and leaves the most desirable places first (boobs here!) There is never any harm in building your core strength. If you are starting from sedentary, i would really start small like the elliptical, long waiks on hills,…

I am more than 3 monhts in now. There are weeks that i lose a ton, then weeks that i barely lose at all. I have been stuck at the same weight since mid may... a little discouraging, but not the end of the world. If i look at the little progress graph, it bounces around but generally works its way down. I love that little…

i have no power over nuts. I literally have to buy them in 100 gramportions from the bulk bins or i eat whatever sized bag i have in front of me. I would just not have granola bars around, or find a better snack. When i feel munchy and it's nerves, i will buy a big bag of precut broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. If i want…

a hardboiled egg would even help curb the starvation. Although you might get shanked if you open a stinky egg in a gym

isn't $2/day cheaper than smoking?i know it is here! I had the prescription in my pocket the last time i quit, just knowing i had it seemed to help, I think my doctor said I'll give you the prescription, but i think you can do it without it... wait a week before filling it. Gross fact. I lost all my weight the first time…

I hate salad, and it makes people think/know you are dieting. I get either a grilled chicken burger or wrap... sauce on the side... I get steamed veggies when i can (i just don't love salad), failing that i get a salad, or no side at all Another choice is Soup (no cream soup) with a roll. Nobody ever looks at me funny for…

I think when you lose a lot of weight and everyone is used to seeing you heavy, you look proportionally thinner to them than strangers. I would listen to the doctors and your body fat in the end

when i lost all my weight the last time, i went in for a physical. The doctor was doing his thing and said "you must work out regularly, you have the heart rate and blood pressure of a teenager" A year before that i was at a different doctor who pointed out that i was pushing pre-diabetes, had really high blood pressure…

thou shalt not JUDGE! not everyone is on your journey. Not everyone's diet can include "items in moderation" not everyone wants to / will eat clean organic food, and it's not my job to care if they do or don't not everyone wants to live at the gym not everyone wants to NOT live at the gym not everyone loves elipticals it's…

if you are losing weight pretty consistently, and incorporating activity you think you can live with forever, then just keep it up! If you want to run, for something to do, (i want to run because it's free and doesn't require equipment, i can do it when i travel) then by all means start running! I want to start the C25K…

When I was working I kept lots of cans of tuna and salmon at my desk, and I always had more fruit that I could eat in a day at the office, that way I had no excuses. I just make a conscious effort to pick better things. If I want something from the café, I grab an herbal tea so I get the satisfaction of buying something.…

I ditched the social life first :S

Throw in kids and you are working 36 hours a day!

I think men need protein... but when you are sourcing protein from non-meat sources, it's REALLY easy to go way over. I would suggest that he log for a while without making any real changes... even if he writes it in a book, not on mfp, there might be a trend of a qty he's off on. I thought I was doing great after I had my…

I just quit them cold turkey and don't pretend that I can have my cake and eat it too. I drink water or milk (not really milk). When people come to my house, I offer them water or milk... I also buy beer and drink coffee and tea. I just decided at some point I don't want to drink my calories, and it's not worth it.

I lose my boobs first, and my huge butt and thighs LAST which makes me super disproportionate through the whole process. Eventually when you run out of boob fat, belly fat, ankle fat, back fat and face fat you will have nowhere else to lose it. You could try one of those heating lotions (part of the benefit is massage,…

Hi! I'm from BC Canada, i just went back to work this month and my little guy was born in july. I started heavy, then got heavier. I was back to "prepregnancy" really fast, but i was still heavier than i wanted to be (why did i gain in ANTICIPATION of getting pregnant) Since i started trying 90 days ago (50 lbs over my…

I lost the 37 lbs over the last 90 days on mfp by eating less. I have actually barely lost weight since i have been doing the 30 day shred. I started level 1, did 10 days straight, then hurt my knee, took a while off, then started level 2 again, and am doing every week day for a while... so i can't say I'm "following the…

you know what, i don't feel like a 20 piece nuggets are intended for one person. I would feel better if they called it the family size, which for me (with 3 kids) i appreciate things that come in shareable sizes
-
To be completely honest, i tend to make my "before" look worse by doing it at the end of a day, then i see immediate results! I wish i had taken measurements when i started 30ds or even mfp at all, since i'm down 37 lbs and my pants are falling off! I haven't lost a lot while doing the 30 ds, but i have changes I can tell…
