Agreed

There are reasons why someone couldn't eat at a deficit. In any event, not going into it. Prefer to just stick to the OP. Thanks for providing your feedback.

If you don't workout in the morning, can you try a quick 15 min power walk in the morning in addition to your main workout session? That has helped me lose when I get stuck. I personally lose weight faster if carbs/sugar are kept to a minimum. If you're insulin resistant or have some intolerance, that could help. Also try…

Often, one doesn't have to exercise to lose weight. When I first started my journey, I ate about 1400 cals and did not exercise and still lost weight. However if you want to workout, yoga can help you burn calories. But you will need to do a power yoga or a vinyasa flow class. The other styles burn a lot less. Either way,…

Oh I wanted to add that yes you can eat natural churned butter and milk and it is considered clean. How healthy it is depends on you. I think milk and butter, in moderation, is still healthy. I just chose to shave calories by using some other alternatives that I think taste better and are lighter options.

No worries. Everyone has a different definition of eating clean. I follow the camp that believes clean eating is eating whole foods that are minimally processed. Mashed potatoes aren't the greatest for weight loss, especially if you are insulin resistant. However, they can fit in the clean eating category thus you can eat…

Agreed with above. Just log it when you finish. I do OT workouts once a week and have not seen a reason to log them the following day.

Try www.dashingdish.com she has a ton of recipes. There's a section for clean eating. The website is really cute and she has very creative ideas. But outside of that, just go to the grocery and make you're own meals. Lots of lean meats and veggies will do. Or just stay away from boxed foods. For example, if you want mashed…

You can. That's one type of injury. However the injuries that come from not stretching are reduced.

Yes in addition to whats stated above, you can get deeper in the poses and because the muscles are more flexible in the heat it helps to prevent injury. Also, your blood vessels are supposedly enlarged during hot yoga and it helps with blood circulation. Mental benefits are that you learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable…

I am able to understand complex topics as are many of the posters on here. And those that say there is more to the equation do understand CICO. That's why we don't say CICO is it. There's more.

You completely missed my post. No one ever said you will lose weight if your calories in are more or equal to your calories out.

Agreed. I don't think people that claim that CICO may be flawed think that it's invalidated. That would be a total bar to CICO. I think they simply believe it's not only that CI must be less than CO to lose weight.

OP again, thanks for your post. Judging by the messages and friend request I have gotten from this post, I suspect that some appreciate it. :)

@Azdak btw that response was pretty clever!

Harsh assessment. :| Sometimes realizing things aren't so black and white is necessary. It is how I was able to lose my weight and keep it off. I think there is nothing wrong with keeping an open mind.

OP thanks for sharing. Food for thought for some. :)

Www.dashingdish.com

YES!!! Thank you for sharing. I definitely have an addictive personality. For that reason I never smoked or did drugs. I had my first drink at 21 and stopped drinking by the time I was 22. I can let things get out of control too easily. Sugar for me is not good. I cannot do moderation with sugar. I never liked pizza or…

Idk about ALLL that buttttt my BFFS on here are @pgn301 @fitnessgoddess17 . They are my loves and I don't share em☺️

I've had it. Don't love it. But I don't love peanut butter. I like it. I say try PB2. It tastes like peanut butter without all that fat and oil. It's a good substitute.

Even the packaged meals can have error. So if you're weighing, I'd weigh those meals too.

@lisalsd1 I agree it's a cultural thing! I think you're right on. But you know, sometimes, if you've only been exposed to one side you innocently don't see the other. I think he's the only person I've ever seen apologize on here. Call me a wuss...but I believe him and forgive him o:)

Wasting so much time not listening to my body. Not pushing back sooner when doctors only told me to eat less and move more. I should have pushed for some answers when one method was not working for me.

17.5 percent smaller. Wow- I always have heard im too critical of myself. Maybe I might believe it now :) .

For me, I had to go cold turkey and stop. My goal was less than 35g of sugar per day. For me, the more sugar I get, the more I crave. So it's best to keep it out while I'm trying to cut back. I am resistant to insulin so sugar and I are not the best of friends. Also, to be fair, I had a doctor and a dietician monitoring…

@hamlet1222 First, thank you for your apology. It is rare that people apologize around here. So I appreciate it. I don't offend easily, but as a woman with a big old natural booty despite how healthy or fit I am, I did take offense to your original post. As many others stated, it wasn't your preference that got me, but it…

They can't and shouldn't as it is a violation of the forum rules.

I agree with you OP. Many of the mfp people that feel like you do not post in the forums. I hope that will change soon. In the mean time, just ignore them. And report any behavior that violates the rules.

I think it can but you will not find a lot of people on the forums that will say that.
