Hi! Good luck with your running experience. I used c25k as a start but some of people here also mentioned zombie run as an alternative. Check them and decide which one suits you best. The good thing about both programs is that you increase your distance/time of running gradually. So they basically teach you to run. They…

I add bilberries. Natural sweetener and tastes deliciously.

It's not an all or nothing deal. In fat zone you also use carbs and in fitness zone you also lose fat. But the proportions of what is used changes. The fat zone mainly uses fat, the fitness zone mainly uses carbs, but on the other hand after work out your organism is still on-going and burns more fat than it would without…

Hi, Unfortunatelly the MyFitnessPal is not that accurate in setting calorie goals vs your acitivity. You have to assess your goal and see if the MFP create a correct proposal for you. E.g. in my case, I selected the lowest activity level as I work by the desk 8 hours. I also clean/cook and generaly try to "move" but I…

Hi there, for a very long a statement to work out on 60-65% to burn fat was glorified. And it's true that during a work out your body takes energy mainly from fat with this rate. The higher one (so called fitness zone) aggregates energy from carbs etc. BUT for some time now the state "exercise with fat burning zone" is no…

I'm also in my 20s. Welcome, and good luck!

Well, If you can find so many frustrating things from when you were with someone and enormous amonunt of good things when you are single, then I would say that the best thing here is become single in the first place. Obviously the person you were with was incompatible with you.

I would like to check it up to! Your challenge might be very useful if some excuse (don't have where/with what to train) come up to my hand. And these always try to creep in.

I was thinking about the overestimating the calories burnt too. One cardio does not equal another. I measure my burn with HRM. And when i did some cardio acording to one program I burnt about 290 kcal during 50 minutes. Then I switched to another trainer. The exercises differed, not a lot but considerably. And my calories…

Eating to little should not cause a gain weight. Eating at your deficit will cause a weight loss. That's all. Maybe the exercises you're doing are too light. Your physical fitness is improving along with exercising. So after time you burn less calories doing the same.

Go to MY HOME -> Check in. You will be able to put your weight there together with other measurements.

I guess that the state that eating breakfast is very important evolved, amongst others, from the fact that you need to absorb some fuel at the beginning of the day to go to work and perform your further activities. But the processes in human body are not that simple. The lifestyle of individuals also differs a lot now and…

Sugar paste. The hair removal with it is less painful than with wax for me.

I end the discussion. Generally I try not to talk about this too much. My only exception are friends who know a lot about exercising and can give me some helpful advice. Personally I find the "second type" of people more annoying. The ones that tell me that I gained whereas I'd lost. And believe me that it's not the matter…

I use Sports Tracker. This one is accurate in measuring your distance and pace. Also GPS works better than in RunKeeper. I usually run in woods or outside the built-up area and ST is able to find my path. RK frequently lost GPS signal or couldn't catch it at all.

Ditto. The weight is the same, but the size:

Generally, the grapefruit helps in stabilizing the level of insulin and glucose. The excess glucose is turned into fat through the process of fatty acid synthesis. So more or less that's why if you eat to much carbs then it is stored by your body in the form of fat in its storage for later use (if needed). Grapefruits…

I have the same feeling. One time I think "come on, nearly everybody has it, no matter of their weight and figure" but the other day I think "Ok, but in my case it's too noticeable. I have to do something with that. At least a little". I agree you don't have to deny yourself each pleasure, like chocolate. You just have to…

Talk with them. Explain what you've done, apologise and repurchase what you took. It would be better if you did that immediately, but it's better to do it later than never. They will grant you more respect if you confess.

Unfortunately I agree. I also have a problem with cellulite. Even when I was a teenager and weighed very little (114 lbs, 5'17'') I had a cellulite... Currently there is no treatment that could help you with that. However, when you follow the steps described by Vanjoo it should diminish significantly. I also drink a…

As I wrote it's a general statement. Of course each individual may react differently. Similar refers to diet, exercising, etc. If it doesn't do any harm then by all means you can eat just before going to bed. But generally it's better to time your meal 2 hours before you go to sleep. Just some nutrition habits have their…

You're welcome and good luck in achieving your goal

In your profile you can see the ticker. Below you have options to change/install it. Also: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/settings

No matter if you want to gain or lose weight, the same rule applies. It's about the quality of your sleep. Generally it's not consider as healthy behaviour due to this. It's better to eat your last meal about 2-3 hours before you go to sleep. The time of course depends on what kind of meal you plan to eat.

If you are concerned that you gain weight as you eat before you go to sleep then it is a myth. It's always important what you eat, no matter if you eat it in the morning or evening. The other thing you should think of here. Generally the sleep is a reserved time for our organism to rest, recover, "recharge the batteries".…

First of all you should listen to your professional advisers. They've got the best directions for you. You need an expert to look after you. Because you are anorexic then the trouble lies deeper than just your weight. It's also your mind. You would not be satisfied from how you look even if you weighed too little. Even if…

26 here. Just joined the MFP too.

When it comes to calories, surprisingly, I didn't exceeded my daily limit. I measured how many calories I ate before the diet. Just to check how much I ate in regular. I admit sometimes it was too much, but then I had a deficit on another day etc. The problem was the ratio of fat/proteins/carbs. Well, as I wrote, you have…

Well. Maybe try to get used to it gradually? This is how I managed to change my habits. Previously I loved sauces, gravy, any crispy skins. And all of these together in one meal. Dinner without a meat? Such term didn't exist. I knew that if I changed my habits too much at once I would stick to it very shortly. And after…

I think that sometimes it's even better to just say that you don't feel like eating something. Then the subject is cut. If you start to behave strangely, come up with sophisticated explanations or just be secretive then the people will notice that, get interested and catch up the subject. You will end up being flooded with…
