You look like the lead singer of REM.

Thanks for the response. Actually 0.25 is the starter dose, then 0.5 ( im on 0.5 currently ) Hopefully it will start working for me at 1.0

As ive mentioned, My doc prescribed it mainly to lower my a1c since i am pre diabetic. If you are not aware, Wegovy was originally prescribed for a1c. Weight loss was actually a side effect of the drug.

If you only get one choice its tracking calories for me. You can always miscalculate how much calories you burn with exercise, but CICO doesn't lie. What worked the most for me thats not listed is fasting. Specifically training my body to eat one meal a day ( night time for me ) Because its a lifestyle change, its easy to…

Same here. I fast all day just so i can eat a big meal at night and a bowl of cereal or bowl of frozen grapes and mango chunks before bed. Solved ever going over daily calories.

Its not for everyone, but ive trained my body to eat one meal a day with no snacking throughout the day, only one big meal for dinner and a snack before bed.( i sleep like a baby ) I am not even hungry anymore until around 7-8pm.

Thanks both of you. I just checked my settings and yes i have it set to two pounds a week with desk job. So i have it set to exercise atleast 60 minutes a day 7 days a week, which is not hard just boring. I guess i lost 4 pounds last week. I fast all day so its pretty easy to eat under 1500 calories, especially since i cut…

I forgot to mention i use the Web version on my PC. I will take a look at this 7 day view you mention. BTW, 1000 burn / 1000 negative calories was just an example. I counted all the calories i had remaining at it came out to around 7000 remaining, so that would be 500/500. One thing im not sure about is i have my goal to…

Yes, obviously underwater since this is a swimming topic. That said, will the H10 work solo? Meaning can i somehow use my phone to monitor Calorie burn during a session if i place the phone somewhere visually safe from getting wet? Side note, i have a small above ground resistance pool 14x8 in my indoor heated sun room for…

Anyone recommend a waterproof HR monitor? I have a Polar H7 chest strap that claims its waterproof but requires a compatiable ANT+ reciever which i do not have, just my phone with the polar beats app via bluetooth.

Being a chef, you learn how to prepare foods of all consistencys. I suggest buying a sous vide like anova, and a pressure cooker like instant pot. That said, Teeth...who needs Teeth.

I wouldn't go straight to vegan. I would start taking out some proteins like beef, pork, poultry. Keep healthier proteins like Fish in your diet. Then eventually work your way to Vegetarian, then Vegan. But take my advice with a grain of salt. I am a huge carnivore. There's proteins out there i would eat if they were…

You win the MFP sense of humor award!

Did you know you can eat as many calories as you want in space and the body doesn't gain any weight?

I will say one thing about MFP. This place is run rampant with people with no sense of humor.

I wouldn't even waste my time with mfp calorie goal. For one, it won't let you set less then 1500 calories so if you want to lose 2lbs a week, its useless.

Your eating habit reminds me of inmates in the prison i worked at. They were deprived of nutrients/protein. So when they got out and ate real food, their body had a hard time digesting. It was like nutrient/protein overdose.

I don't count alcohol. As far as i am concerned, its a degreaser, so it dilutes fat (grease) and makes it leave the body faster. I drink alcohol while exercising. It metabolises during exercise, and converts to sugar which gives you energy and burns fat faster as well.

I hate to tell you, (actually i love to tell you) that i feel less hungry if i skip breakfast and lunch. Every body is different, don't assume your experience is universal.

Speak for yourself. My body lets me know when i give it something ive been depriving it all week. (in a good way)

what does the tiny island in japan have to do with weight loss? Mr Miyagi diet program? Wax on wax off?

Just take a dump and you will lose 4lbs.

I have yet to try Kimchi. I started pickling my own hot peppers and pickles because the store brands are not spicy enough. The hotter they are, the less you eat, and the better they curb the hunger.

I tend to drink more water when doing cardio and it tends to curb my hunger. Not sure if its related to drinking more water or not.

Ouch.

I eat around 1500 calories a day, 500 of them are usually 2 big bowls of raisin bran before bed. My morning BM's are pretty good and the best part is less wiping then with fast food. Also, for some reason i feel this thread is going to be a guys only thread.

spicy pickles, and spicy pickled peppers.

I focus on low fat since fat tends to have more calories, but my main focus is watching my calorie intake. Also, low fat i believe is better for keeping your cholesterol down.

Any intense indoor exercise. Less intense indoor exercise like walking, I can watch tv and completely forget im walking for a few hours. But when im doing intense exercise like my treadclimber, i can barely focus on the tv. I usually have to listen to music to get through it. NFL or UFC i can watch and get into the…
