Losing too much weight does not specifically cause a fluctuation in TOM. Stress would. Being at a very low weight would. Losing 10 lbs per month would probably not.

I run in my regular shoes and socks. The only time I don't run is if there is a big wind chill or it's icy. I think my coldest run last year was - 15C. I just layer tech fabric with windbreaker jacket and pants. Hat and mittens. I have buffs that I wrap like a balaclava if the cold air bothers me. I put my phone in my…

I make my meals on sunday night. I cook up 5 boneless chicken breasts. I also cook up 5 servings of Quinoa in my rice cooker. When it's all cooked and cooled, I throw a serving of chicken, quinoa and throw a couple handfuls of frozen broccoli in a reusable container. Freeze. For my breakfasts I throw 1/3 cup rolled oats…

I would leave out the splenda and golden syrup and replace with honey. I'm not sure if that would give a good result, but if it were me, I'd try it anyway.

Don't replace. Just work them into your daily allotment of calories.

I eat before bed too. Time food goes in is really irrelevant.

It's genetics. For most women the only way to lose it is to have a body fat % about 18-20% but definitely take up strength training. Build some muscle.

I notice it does that when I sync first thing in the morning. By the time lunch time rolls around it's ok. I think it has something to do with averaging.

Lots... I run for food I run in search of the perfect run I run to train for races I run for the after affects. It makes me feel better emotionally. It's great for depression. I run to lose weight I run because my friends do I run to try to better my pace. I run to hear my feet hit the pavement in an eerily quiet area.…

My BMR =1430(cals I use doing NOTHING) Is this actually your BMR or your TDEE? For sedentary, your total daily energy expenditure is BMR x 1.2 = TDEE I'm going to assume for the rest of the explanation that you really mean TDEE. If you really mean BMR then your TDEE is 1716. MFP is set to 1200cals/a day =a deficit of…

I wanna be a glow worm. I glow worm is never glum How can you be grumpy When the sun shines out your bum.

I didn't read all 18 pages. That is horrible. I think you should video tape it next time and post it on you tube and then send it to the local media. Name names. And post addresses. Bullies need to know that this type of behaviour is no longer going to be tolerated. If they think you are over reacting and you should expect…

You can't compare fad diets with what you call "fad exercise" You can't live without food. You can live without exercise.

If it is just 1 week out of 10, don't worry about it. If you are feeling hungry, tired or weak, then eat something. There are lots of things you can snack on that are healthy, that you don't HAVE to eat crappy just to get the calories in. The other thing I would recommend is looking up some Once A Month Cooking (OAMC)…

There's really nothing wrong with what you are doing. It sounds like you have gadget envy. :) What kind of results are you looking for that you are not currently getting? Or is it just that you are bored and want to try something new?

I surpassed it back in June. I started running last year. Ran a total of 663.2 kilometres last year. This year I'm at 896.1 km.

If I was having a pancake meal, I'd make regular pancakes. Instead of adding maple syrup and butter, I'd add fruit and low cal whipped fream or a vanilla flavoured greek yogurt. Instead of having 4 or 5 pancakes, I'd have 1 or 2 and add something lighter on the side.

If you were the same weight and age, then theoretically you would burn the same calories. Because she is fitter, she doesn't have to work as hard. So she is not burning the amount of calories she would if she were working out hard, like you are doing the same work out. If you research METS (metabolic equivalent of Task)…

I set other goals that are not weight loss related. Typically fitness related. Train to run a 10k. Train to do 100 pushups at a time. Join a sports team.

You have to do what works for your family. Does a Paleo way of eating work. I think it does. I've heard good results from people. Do I think other "ways" of eating work. Yes I do. Weight Watchers works. Following the MFP plan works. Do I think any of these plans work for everybody. Nope.

Unless you are drinking 17000 calories of wine a night, then your 5lb gain over night did not come from the wine. It's water weight fluctuations. Your weight can fluctuate daily based on many variables. Salt. Stress. Lack of Sleep. Bowel movements. Amount of carbs in your diet. Time of the month. And in your case it looks…

I've tried to read it, but I just can't get past the first couple of chapters. It's just so bad. It's so freaking cliche, and not in a good way.

I concur. Get a head lamp and some reflective gear and get out there. I do tend to stick to well lit streets and keep to the sidewalks.

I've seen a weight gain due to water from all kinds of wacky things, so retaining fluid due to your body trying to fight a cold is not out of the realm of possibility. Water weight will disappear.

My two favorite quotes: " It doesn't matter what the effect the earth's gravitational pull has on you at any given moment. No one knows that number but you. " "The scale is a lying, cheating *kitten* who kicks puppies and takes candy from babies. Don't give it any power over you. " I love those. And I'm stealing them.…

Make sure you take measurements because some weeks you won't lose any weight, but you will lose inches. Especially if you are working out lots. Secondly, this is not a race, this is a journey to become a healthier you. That includes exercising because it's good for you, not because you want to lose weight. Thirdly, in…

10 lbs over the summer is great. (Maybe a little too much). Just keep him doing what he's been doing. Eating clean and getting outside and playing.

Treadmill IS boring. Go run outside.

I'm running a half tomorrow too. It will be my second half race. If you've already run that length in a training run, it will be exactly like that except a whole lot more people. Watch your pace. Have fun.
