Funny, we still live in the stone age.

/signed :D It's correct that a calorie deficit makes you loose weight. 90% though is about what you eat, because it's easy to do a lot of cardio and/or other exercises and still eating more calories a day than you spend with your daily activities. So, first and foremost to loose weight you need to eat in a way which gives…

I hope you enjoyed it. I would just enjoy it and then watch the next few days that I get the calorie intake in a way to compensate for it (mostly with walking more or eating stuff with less calories). But I'd never would let it make me feel bad, just because I ate something I enjoy. In my eyes, theres no point in that.

Zelda is a girl. Link isn't.

Maybe because people with bigger waistlines more likely tend to use diet products in general? That's no argument if you don't know the reason of the drinking.

Maybe that reaction would've been a lifechanger for that person lol

OP hasn't even shared her own diary.

If it doesn't fit into your calorie goal, it's bad :P

I don't have pictures either. But my arms and shoulders look better, I actually have muscles there now (never really had that before). My legs look more muscular, too. If you stick to the body weight training stuff from Mark Lauren, you surely see results. At the moment I am doing the DVD on novice level (or at least I…

Best diet ever. Lost over 5kg already by just doing that and I ate some pizzas and stuff. Log everything, keep your calorie goal, use a scale = success.

To add even another option which is free, I can suggest the YAYOG app. There's a free circuit training in there. Mark often suggested to people having trouble doing basic or the YAYOG DVD to do 20 minutes of novice circuit training 3 times a week for a couple of weeks to get started. If you're really starting out really…

I've just catched a cold two days ago. I try to stick to my calorie goals, but I don't set that limit too hard. Because I know my body needs energy to fight the cold. I take vitamins, drink some tea, use a(n eucalyptus) salve to put on my breast area which helps and try to keep my body warm with blankets. Apart from…

I have a very up to date textbook about human biology here (2013). I had to learn that stuff recently. This book says a healthy person needs about 5 gramms carbs per kilogramm every day. It suggests you need to intake more carbs than proteins (1 gramm per kilogramm per day) or fat (1.2 gramm per kilogramm per day). Thats…

Calorie deficit = fat loose (probably among muscles). That's easy. If a person thinks differently, the logic that person has is flawed. It's like this: If you turn off the power a light bulp has, it will surely stop to give light after a while. That's the same as when you don't give enough food to someone. This person will…

It's about your calorie balance not about when you're eating.

I've done the third week of the novice disk now, fourth week is starting now. Not ready for intermediate yet but getting stronger and I hope I get there in a few weeks. Those mountain climbers and military presses are really challenging.

Food stays in our body up to 16 hours until it is fully digested and the rest of it "comes out". So, it can be you have a higher weight because those things are still not through all your body. Fluctuations like that cannot only be because of water.

I always make sure to never workout on an empty stomach. It only makes me weaker during the workout. If I can't wait 30min - 1h, I just eat something little, like a fruit or something.

You don't always need diversity. Often people here are looking for friends who have to loose about the same amout of weight. They're excluding others, too. But probably it's encouraging for them to work on things together. If a thread like this or any sort of those things is a problem to any of you, you probably have more…

It's too off-topic already anway. Hope they can solve that problem somehow. And OP stays motivated. God bless.

It doesn't matter how realistic it may sound to you or not. It's still cruel to just plan for the end of the relationship - especially when being married. There are many other reasons why it's good to have some people around. To have friends because you could loose your relationship is just a dumb thing to do. I may be…

yeah, sure, rather plan for the end of the relationship already! Never heard any better reasoning/argumentation.

Not everyone can be smart enough to understand that everything needs energy. Even only talking and thinking consumes energy. All the energy we use is coming from the sun and made usable for us by the plants. That's what you learn in high school biology. But you surely can't force someone to understand logic.

I'd say you should find out for yourself. I mean: eat those calories for a week and if you loose weight, you're loosing it in a healthier way (you don't starve yourself too much). And if you don't loose weight this way, go down to eating back about 90% of your exercices next week and see if you loose weight then and so on.…

Count your calories as exact as possible. Use a scale. You didn't have a calorie deficit, that's why you didn't loose weight.

When you choose a ten week program in the app, you can click in the little i symbol to see the requirements.

I think if you have a problem going like 50 calories into the red number, it's a problem of you and not of MFP. Even if you'd do it all on paper, you'd have the very same problem. If you really don't eat a raisin just because of a few calories it's your mindset. But maybe for some people that's great because otherwise they…

This. It's a cool tool which you can use for free. MFP doesn't steal money from you by selling you stuff for your desire to loose weight. It gives you all the tools you need to loose weight while eating what you want in a balanced way. And if you are like me and don't know a thing about nutrition, you'll learn it by doing…

MFP is a tool to help you count your calories easier. Treat it as such and don't get emotionally involved with a computer program. Everyone who can count their calories on here could do it on paper or in excel, too. At least after you learned it on here for a while. No reason to use MFP for more than convenience. As long…
