Changing place

Wow that is a strange reaction; are you sure it's because I your workout? The only thing I can think of is maybe eating before you work out? I know if I haven't eaten enough drink the day before working out I feel faint and like I could throw up after pushing myself too hard. Otherwise, maybe you should see a doctor?

Enjoy it, log it, and move on. I might try and add a little extra cardio or to eat a little less the next day but otherwise I don't do anything. Some days are higher and some days are lower than others. 400 calories isn't that much to be over for one day anyway. You might actually still be eating at a deficit (assuming…

I eat "treats" every single day (I don't think of it as a treat, just another food to add to my diary). A day isn't complete without some chocolate!

If I don't feel up to it then I give myself a break. If I know I'm being a wuss (which I'm prone to doing) then I force myself to suck it up and do it. I have this weird type of motivation that whenever I get in the mindset where I can think of a million excuses not to go exercise, it means I have to go (and then I do...).…

I swear I'm going to get hate mail for this but, I don't particularly care for nutella. Although in general I don't like hazelnuts and I prefer just straight up chocolate. I wouldn't say no to a nutella dessert but I don't actively search them out :P

Exactly. I wasn't prepared to make changes that I didn't see myself sustaining for the rest of my life.

Short answer: I don't. Long answer: It's why I chose to abandon the MFP method. For me, the idea of only eating 1200 calories for the rest of my life made me want to cry. And this was going to be something I could do for the rest of my life. So I figured out my TDEE and took a 20% cut. If you are trying to find ways to…

My new favourite workout - stability ball! Tomorrow I'm doing: Strong lifts workout B 10km on a stationary bike It's gunna be great!

If I want them then I'll fit it into my calories. Lately I haven't been super strict about staying under (as long as I'm under maintenance) but I know putting off cravings for too long won't work for me. I did give up chips for awhile - I could not control myself around them. They're the one food that portion control just…

I weigh myself first thing in the morning on Monday (before I step into the shower...). I haven't worked out then so I guess I weigh myself before? Just pick a time and stick to it. If you weigh yourself once a day, once a week, once a month it doesn't matter. For consistency sake just do it at the same time and wearing…

I did 50km last week. I'll try for another 50 this week!

Great work! I'm all about getting to eat what I love while being healthier. Sounds like we have a similar approach :). Keep it up!

I really love lentil soups, or pureed butternut squash soup, or a "throw the contents of the fridge in a pot" soup.

Minimum wage is $10.25 here...

This sounds horrible to me. I love eating a variety of things. The only meal that is the same for me is breakfast because I have little time to make anything fancy in the morning. Actually, I kind of rotate the same things for breakfast but it's not even identical day in and day out. To each there own. I don't see anything…

I started exactly one month before that. Apparently I don't count! :P

Depends. I'm not anal about it or anything but if I put in a tbsp of paprika or something it has over 20 calories. If I'm making chili or something I'll add it because those calories really add up (and I just put it in the recipe creator - super simple). If it's like half a tsp of thyme leaves on my chicken or something I…

Butter, turkey bacon, chocolate... I vary what I eat but I do have some "staple" foods

And here I was about to go off to the gym to go lift some heavy things... Still going to.

School bag

I should be focusing on minute details like eating every 2.5 hours and making sure I don't eat any carbs and flush out any toxins with a juice cleanse... No sugar or fat either. Sounds like a better plan

The watch how much you eat and move more diet. It's bound to catch on eventually right?

I hardly ever have any calories left over (as a matter of fact I've been going over a lot lately). I don't understand how you could regularly have hundreds left over?! Eat some chocolate or a food you enjoy!

I'm the slow and steady type (lost 32lbs in 8 months). This is something I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life so there is no rush :). I'm doing the TDEE -20% method, and I believe in eating as many calories as I can while still losing fat! Feel free to add me :) http://impruvism.com/flexible-dieting-basics/ <--- I…

I'm usually for everything in moderation but chips are one thing I can't control. They were/are a trigger food for me. I stopped buying them as a result. I haven't had a craving for them in a long time! So have your chips now, log them, and maybe don't buy them in the future.

You can do it! I'd say increase your calorie allowance to something more manageable. It's what I've done. I have a moderate cut and I'm losing weight at a slow rate. But slow progress is still progress (I have a sign above my bed saying that to remind me haha!). It also sounds like cookies are a trigger food for you. Maybe…

I went to the gym for the first time today (previously I'd done things at home like cycling, 30DS and fitness classes) and I hated gym cardio (I tried the elliptical and it was so boring!) but I loved the free weights! I guess I'm going to have to get a membership!

Lifted for the first time today and I loved it!

If you're following the MFP weight loss method (I do TDEE but started with the MFP way) you need to eat back your exercise calories. You might want to get a HRM or something because from what I've seen the MFP burns seem to be a little high.
