If you know you're going to eat more calories, whenever your husband has a day off, try preplanning. Your body doesn't reset at midnight. Eat 50-100 kcal a day less over the week and you can eat 300-600 kcals more on the day off, without ruining your diet.

Some of it might be lost water. This you will gain back if you start eating normally. But you won't get all 15 lbs back if you eat under you maintenance calories.

It doesn't really matter when you eat and how often you eat. It really depends on the person, if a certain rhythm works for them. I've never liked breakfast because I'm not really hungry at the time. I've tried a few times to eat breakfast because it was supposed to be healthy. Now I've given up on breakfast and eat most…

I eat lunch around 12 and the last food at around 10, giving me that 10:14 rhythm. I've never been hungry at breakfast time and it just fits my needs.

Every person is different and every body carries its weight in a different form. Where you lose weight first, depends on genetics and is different for each person. It is quite possible that you look better than that person after you lose a few more pounds. Don't compare yourself to other people. Take a picture of yourself…

It depends on your weight and height but if you are near your goal weight, it can make a lot of difference.

My flat is being renovated and because of that I had to move back home for some weeks. I feel your frustration, I've had quite a few arguments with my parents and some good talks that cleared the air. I think, sometimes it's more healthy to really have an argument than to bottle everything up. My situation is different…

What about eating those exercise calories not on the day you create them but on the next day?

I think the first step is being truthful with yourself and logging everything you eat. No judgement. You ate it, you log it. Just look at those numbers. You will get an idea of how many calories you eat compared to how many calories you should eat and you will get an idea about the stuff that really wrecks your diet. If…

I thought about this video when I read the title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpaOjMXyJGk

More and harder exercise might just lead to water retention to heal injured muscles. If you changed your diet to more carbs can lead to a higher water retention. Weight loss is not linear and three weeks really is not long enough to even count as a plateau. Even more so as 20 pounds in 2 months is quite the number.

If you eat those 500 calories per day during the week, you can eat (in moderation) whatever you want during the week and you won't need that big deficit for the weekend because your cravings are already fullfilled. The more you restrict yourself the more difficult it becomes to stustain longtime and the higher the risk of…

What time period are we talking about? Weeks? Months?

Why do you eat 500 calories under you goal during the week? If you were over your goal on the weekends and saving up, I'd get it. But you aren't. You have 500 more calories to eat stuff with. That gives you quite some variety. Ok, no seafood. But you do realize that the fat content of your food has nothing to do with your…

Depends on the country. Here you get a quarter liter of wine, 8.5 ounces, as a standard size if you order a wine.

Two glasses of what? As far as I know it is recommended for women to not drink more than 20 grams of alcohol per day. Depending on the size already one glas of wine is over that limit. Limit for men is slightly higher at 30grams.

If I look at your diary you're either not tracking well or you are in fact quite a bit under your calorie goal every day. Why does it have to be lean? Fat won't hurt you. Mix yourself a smoothie with some cottage cheese, yoghurt and the protein powder your taking. Put some fruits in for the flavor and you have over 40g of…

So, eat something different? You can lose weight and eat something else than chicken, rice, veg, eggs, turkey and sweet potatoes. As long as you track your calories there is nothing keeping you from eating beef, pork, pasta, even the occational chocolate or sweets.

I'd say it depends on your speed. If you run more miles in your 2 30min runs compared to your one hour run, you should burn more calories. If your speed is the same in both, it probably doesn't make much of a difference.

If our body would lose muscle if we didn't eat for a day, our ancestors in the stone age would have died quickly. I have no idea if you lose more fat if you work out fasted, but I'm trying 14:10 at the moment and it works pretty well for me. I was never much of a breakfast eater, so skipping breakfast and eating lunch at…

I like the idea of prelogging. Find out what the cake and pizza is going to be and plan how much you can fit in your plan. Also, if you are running a 5K on saturday, you should have some additional calories you can eat over the weekend without going over.

Never went all the way but changed to a harder progression after I could do 12. So 12 normal squats, 12 deep squats, 12 bulgarian split squats and at the moment 5 beginner shrimp squats.

You could also look into startbodyweight.com . That website offers a full body workout bodyweight only. For every exercise there are progressions that allow you to start at the strength level you are at.

Try doing pushups against a wall, a table, a chair. If you struggle to do 4 pushups in good form, go back to the last height you could do them. Start with 3x4 and just do one pushup more every day, so 444 the first day, 544 the next, 554 etc. After you get to 888, you can move on to the next more difficult progression. It…

I'm doing the standard routine from the website startbodyweight.com. I've now done it for about 3 months and see real progress.

Are you going to build a home gym or to do bodyweight exercises?

Can you find time to work out without getting up in the morning? I'm a night owl. I don't have the energy or motivation to get up in the morning and do a workout. I started doing my workouts between 9-10 pm and that works for me. If you aren't a morning person, getting up in the morning will make working out regularly even…

That really depends. If you have a nice progressive routine your exercises can change a lot.

How much of a beginner are you? 'You are your own gym' is the original book Mark Lauren wrote. It has 4 10 week workout plans, going from Basic to Master. With those plans you train 4-5 times a week, between 20min to 36min, not including warm up or cool down. The training is pretty varied and needs not a lot of things. A…
