Those changes sound delicious. I am going to have to give that a try tomorrow. Anybody else give this a try yet or thinking about it?

Thanks for letting me know, I probably have a similar situation. Nothing about it really makes sense to me, but I do sprints often and never have knee pain afterwards, and the one time I use a bike my knees cry. After a bit more thought today, I decided to add in nuts and keep it at that for now. I set the limit to 20…

I weigh myself every morning at the same time. Some people say to weigh yourself once a week. The truth is, it doesn't make a difference because not looking at the scale isn't going to change your weight. BUT - Always do try to weigh yourself at around the same time each day, and the best time to do so is almost always…

How was it?

Going to stay around the house this weekend. I dislike it when it is busier (and memorial day weekend usually is) than usual. Bought a bunch of ribeyes and ny strips for grilling yesterday. So, probably 3 days of grilling them up, yum.

Sherambler mentioned drinking a glass of water, and this is a great way to help feel full. If that doesn't quite get it there, drink 2. Most people probably drink their water normally, but I always chug mine (been doing it that way my entire life). I will drink between 24-32oz of water at a time, usually in one breath.…

Meant to post this link. It is another forum post related to your question. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1049422-successfully-lost-weight-without-exercise

Weight loss is almost entirely due to one's diet. As you build up your muscles they consume more calories per day to maintain which they say supposedly speeds up your weight loss (but I think we have all seen fat lineman). Either way, you will end much more healthy if you choose to exercise while you are eating right, but…

Wind also annoys me. I used to live in SW Kansas, which is home of one of the windiest places in the US (dodge city). I know at least once it was ranked number 1 windiest city in the US, although sometimes it doesn't get much recognition because it is a small town. More and more I find that cold also does the same thing to…

Strep is awful! If it were me I would definitely take (at least) one more day off for recovery. I hope you get better soon.

I haven't had store bought eggs in so long that I have forgotten what the differences are. :) Our flock right now is 23 I believe. It started much smaller a few years ago, but each spring my gf buys more baby chicks. We had to build a second coop last year to accommodate them all.

I can understand your frustration. It could be that last week when you weighed yourself you were dehydrated, and when you weighed yourself today you were hydrated which can be as much as a 5lb change in your weight, so you could have lost. Second, even though you are eating healthier (or eating healthy in general), it…

My gf and I both have fitbits. She has been using hers for at least a year and I used mine for about 2 months. She loves being able to track her steps, and I know when she gets close to 10 or 15k for the day she will do a little around the house to make sure she evens out that number. So it can be motivating to some…

eggs (we have chickens so these aren't store bought) cheese salt/pepper olive oil if I could afford to eat rib eye everyday (grilled at home) I would do it.

Thanks for posting this. The idiocy in this thread had it coming, but I see you covered it nicely. "eat too few calories and you will gain weight!!" -- lol really? remember the concentration camps? there is far too much bad information passed around these forums.

I kayak, play tennis, golf, and do yard work (in addition to working out). I do think it is important to set at least a little time aside though, for some sort of a workout most days, not including athletics (like the above). Even someone who works a job standing up all day and walking is not getting as much of a workout…

We have a Nutribullet in the house. I used it for a solid month, 2-3 times a day (before I injured my knee). My only complaint with it is the motor burned/shorted out. I took it back to Target and they gave me a replacement, no questions asked. My basic smoothie was to fill it halfway with spinach, two bananas, a handful…

Hi My name is Josh. Kinda new to MFP. I am 32 y/o, 75" (6'3), and 300lb. I am not unhappy with my weight, but I know that I should lose a few pounds for the sake of my health. After I finished up 8 years in the Army, I got out and started college in 2010 (almost done), and told myself I was going to get fat and happy--and…

You are gonna be the next Subway guy.

LOL. SHOT DOWN.

This. Even if you ate 8000 calories in one day you wouldn't wipe our your entire weeks work. The biggest problem with doing it is that it might lead you to continue on the same path. Just as your body can only lose weight so fast, it can only gain so fast, most of those calories are going to end up as number 2. I would…
