Just track how you're comfortable at a deficit and log calories for a little but. Slowly add in exercise, not too strenuous but definitely a good 20-30 minute cardio session at least. Good luck!

@ maria82m Hispanic or Filipina?

That's awesome. Yoga for sex/through sex can be powerful. This is about self-improvement and that's one of the most important things people should work on improving. In my experience... haha But still, sex shouldn't be treated with such negative connotations or viewed as sinful/lusty, hence the controversy. It should be a…

@jennie A guy who is quiet, classy, and looks hot in a white suit. Hahah :)

Ice Cream with Oreos and Peanut Butter!! :) And lots of midnight bowls of cereal

HOLY EWW

Hahah!! I don't have problems with that.. I'm a crazy cat lady :/

Whoa, sorry about all the typos :P Your diary looks good and what you said makes sense. You're probably not too strict on cals considering you take in 2000+ daily but I'm trying to create a deficit, which somehow is disrupting my sleep :( My body doesn't like this anymore and I used to be fine, which is weird. Btws how is…

OC hayyy :)

Thank you! This really helps a lot, I am a very scientific person and this so far makes the most sense to me. During the day if I still have a deficit and burn off those cals it's not going to matter that much, it's just kind of an *kitten* backwards way of fueling your body. I am trying to even out my meal times, but to…

I pretty much eat the same thing everyday but just at different times, and am trying to still figure out the amounts. So pre-logging has caused my hunger fluctuate and it's hard to tell when I really need to calories. This is easier when I'm not thinking about it as opposed to a strict breakfast, lunch, dinner regimen if…

Yes and no, if you increase cals + exercise you will not see results within that day or even week. It will take your body a while to adjust to your new intake and realize it can stop storing energy like mad. I know it's hard when you hit a plateau to increase your intake while decreasing might make sense. Just stick with…

I love biking!! Also, I prefer doing yoga outside. Especially when it gets hot super early in socal :)

Sorry they're up so close, I don't have a photo timer on my laptop camera! And if you're wondering that is a map of Middle Earth in the Background, haha

I am a tea JUNKIE! I drink 3-7 cups a day depending on my mood, and it helps keep my appetite down too :) Yogi Teas are the best, they don't really need sugar, but I never sweeten anyways. Costco Japanese Green Tea (I'll use 2 for extra grassy flavor) All Yogi: Peach Detox Lavender Stress Relief Aztec Sweet Chili (Spicy)…

They're more enticing than most of the guys my age.... hahah!! Oh the joys of being 20 and single :P

sex

I'm 20, Never get carded though :wink:

hamsterlid- 24..?

I'm vegan so on my cheat days I still have something healthy, just "bad" by my standards. Usually some sashimi and green tea ice cream! Or froyo!! I stay under or just meet my calorie limit :smile:

Thanks!! I'm already 26 miles in, making my way to the Old Forest First, and I'm bookin it!! Trying to get to Rivendell by June 20th :smile:

Hey guys!! I have a couple questions: Does biking count mile per mile? and Does any type of machine count (eg. Elliptical, Bike Machine, Treadmill, etc) ? I'm not counting walking around/inadvertent exercise or using a pedometer :tongue:

Recipe for gluten-free lembas anyone..?? :drinker:

Breakfast should be your biggest meal of the day! I used to have a severe ED and even then I would eat practically all of my calories at breakfast. You burn them all off. You need those calories in the morning to jumpstart your metabolism, it helps you lose more to eat more in the AM.

I am 20, 5' and I feel like with my small frame and lack of muscle 100 lbs is a normal goal weight. I have a pretty slow metabolism, pretty small/thin bones, and I get a lot of cardio in, about 4 miles a day! It all depends on if you feel comfortable at a weight or not! Getting a variety of activities will give you a…

Definitely a night person! Much cooler out at night but I feel more energized if I exercise in the morning. Any tips on how you have switched this pattern/gotten used to it? Ideas?

Excision- X-Rated Scary if you don't like dubstep.. haha. Pretty much the metal of edm :tongue:

Hi I'm also 20 and new to MFP. Looking for support/advice/friends to help with the changes in mentality not just to lose weight but to create a positive body image. More Body-Positive Friends Please! :smile:
