  • love this! Some people don't have the science mind though.
  • Not all days but many days I can walk around and do conference calls with my headset, stand and actually work at the computer, (I've been bugging HR for standing setup) walk to meetings, stand on the train, walk to the train and back etc, waiting for train, I walk back and forth. I sit for a while and when I feel like I'm…
  • I like that idea, can't someone just make a grocery store like that!
  • Are you logging your food? Isn't it possible your maintenance calorie intake is too high?
  • Welcome, I'm 55, 5 foot 4, weight 159 currently and am on a very slow weight loss plan with a goal of losing 1 pound a week. Sometimes it feels excruciating going that slowly but it allows me to not feel deprived and eat very close to a maintenance amount with a bit of extra exercise to help cut out about half of the…
  • Yes, I do actually eat what I want, within reason of course. I don't feel deprived but I do feel a bit rerouted. Those cakes you see behind the Starbucks counter, that's what I would choose for breakfast if I wasn't working MFP, and the old me would have a big lunch without regard to how big that sandwich is or that…
  • I weigh in on Tuesdays with my Withings wireless scale which seamlessly syncs to my smartphone app as well as MFP, it will automatically post in your feed if you have lost but if you gain weight it will not. If anyone else has the Withings and wants to do a Tuesday weigh in please friend me. I like Tuesday since it gives…
  • Over by 100 or over by 800? Over is too vague, this is all estimates anyway, impossible to be exact. Just stay in the range, we all know when we're doing that and when we're not regardless of what the bad math tells us. Most people vigilant on this site would probably benefit from a little bit over. In fact we should live…
  • Check your sugar consumption, I find that if I eat more food that contain high amounts of sugar, like yogurt, protein shakes, fruits I tend to have a harder time fighting off the hunger. Try replacing any high sugar foods with proteins like eggs or high fats like avocados, and after good piece of salmon I am definitely not…
  • If you allow your self an occasional splurge can't you make up for that with some under eating for the rest of the week? Let's imagine I was ready for that "maintenance diet" and my trigger is actually is airports, layovers, I don't do it often but let's say I'm traveling for work have an expense account and there are all…
  • Me too! Lost about 70 gained 60 back. What's different this time for me is I'm eating "Real Food" and logging everything. I think it's fascinating how we can achieve so much and then let it slip away. I swear this time I'm creating a life eating pattern that I can easily replicate tracking or no tracking. I have a wireless…
  • HI, I'm eating 1250 a day and actually end up going over that by about 100 because of my two glass of wine habit. I eat all kinds of completely normal food in small portions. I buy a ton of those little baby bell cheese packets, perfect snack breakfast food along with lots of hard boiled egg Lost of salmon 3 oz size…
  • I read your post again. My issue is always boredom. I just get tired of routines, and eventually I want to escape from the routine I'm in and forget it all and then i'm in some new routine of over eating and denial that can take months or years to settle before I'm desperate again to lose it. I lost a lot of weight once…
  • I agree with this poster. We're all just thinking about our selves anyway, those girls are probably thinking about what that even better looking girl next to them is thinking about them. Just do it, you'll feel great!
  • OK, let me get this straight, as far as your weight, right now you are the weight you want and there is another level of perfection you are attempting to achieve and this is lean muscle mass, God I wish I had this problem, but I digress. And you want to know how after all these months or years of calorie restriction you…
  • Hi! Uh, 5 foot 7 and 162 is not that bad? What's the problem? I would guess you're a size 8 or 6? So loose 10 pounds you should be ideal. Sure you can be 120, that would put you at an underweight BMI. Maybe your doctor was speaking theoretically, It's just basic mathematics calories consumed minus calories burned. Us…
