as above. Your own data should point you at your maintenance number far better than any calculator. I'd go with a recomp unless you're in a hurry. I have been at maintenance for a year, lifting slightly heavy since January, weight is stable and have dropped an inch on waist in the last 12 months Your logging should point…

Relative of mine has an awful cough caused by an allergy to dairy. It's almost as bad as a smokers cough and quite annoying for them and me

Realising how much I was eating , stopped eating that much, started moving more. Then went off shopping for some smaller clothes

I have found planks to be most helpful. I hadn't tried any crunches for a few months and had been "planking" in the mean time but tried a few crunches and got to be about 80 ( a new pb ) Pretty sure the squats would have been helping too

i used to get sent out late at night for mars ice creams or to whip up a batch of my oatmeal and raisin cookies, only to get bashed a week later when the scales appeared. I have also been called a moron by other girlfriends for having food on tap every month or so can't win... which is why I suggested perhaps not giving in…

Sorry you're feeling like poop , but I never eat my emotions or attach said emotions to fuel. That way leads to the dark side :)

sounds like you are being overly restrictive. thinking of food (fuel) as good or bad doesn't help No food is off limits, have a little of what you enjoy and start training your will power. You are going to need it just as badly when you reach your goal weight too

calories in >> calories out what you take in , versus what you burn off

check your calculations for what you are burning too.. there are some horrendously bad examples for calorific burns in the mfp database as others have said, you can't out cycle your fork. It might be wise to go back to basics with regard to weighing your food and making sure your burns aren't being over stated

I buy an unflavoured whey and add the flavouring I want. Flavoured varieties can taste nice but the amount of flavouring reduces the protein content, which at least for me... is what I was eating it for in the first place

http://www.healthaliciousness.com/ good info there for all macros etc

in for food shaming and mis-information

Do you have a goal weight in mind ?

eating less works for everybody if losing weight is your goal ? Give it time, weigh your food, log it and if you exercise, great. If not don't worry. To lose weight all you need to be doing is burning more than you eat

When I started to doubt my burns, I halved them and then subtracted what I would have burned sitting at my pc for that exercise duration. So , if MFP or a machine tells you that you burned 600 for an hour, I would go for about 220. I too started on a stationary exercise bike, it helped kickstart my weight loss, then I…

I got down from 2.5 teaspoons of sugar to 1 and a sweetener. I always have had a very small dash of full cream milk but my coffee is good quality and important. I don't have many treats.. my coffees are part of the few though

impact whey from myprotein.... added to full fat milk and about 16g of butterscotch angel delight yum yum

Definitiely , photos and measurements plus favourite clothes can really show you how well you have done. I would never go so long without weighing myself or not paying attention to clothes not fitting again and thinking they had shrunk in the wash

Definitely can , there are loads of stories of people who did the couch 2 5k (c25k) and have moved on to half and full marathons Also, if you were being chased by zombies, you would kinda have to be a runner :P go for it

good post, would have added " clean " in there somewhere though

Maybe you don't go to the movies much as they banned you for making a mess ??? hehe

they're all good

I do like me a large stuffed crust super supreme .. When I last ate a whole one I recall it was a rather large amount of calories

this !! and playing world of warcraft

water weight , normal fluctuations .. and yes that time causes gains for some ladies too it's perfectly normal for people to go up a few pounds during a normal day , so try and relax and take it easy with the scales. Make sure you take photos and measurements weigh weekly imho, straight after your morning pee

have you tried planks ? worked wonders on my core , when I switched back to crunches after a couple of months I could really feel the benefit

this is what I was going to say too. I walk after I can't run anymore and it must have looked to some when I started that I was doing some sort of perverse HIIT .. but all I was really doing was trying to get from a-b in the quickest time possible Don't worry about what others think or do... do you and you'll be fine good…

hmm it's not friday without somebody going Full Retard
