Don't worry about your day to day fluctuations. Lots of things such as the time of day, your sodium intake and whether you've worked out can affect the amount of water that you're retaining and so the scale weight. I also weigh myself every day, but track it in an excel spreadsheet, and only concern myself about my 7 day…

My usual breakfast is oatmeal with some cinnamon, ginger and a big scoop of protein powder. Keeps me full until lunchtime easily.

Welcome, and good luck with your goals. Feel free to add me :)

I'll be at a trance party, spending my Easter weekend playing contact staff and dancing my *kitten* off

Yep, vegetarian here. Feel free to add me

The best advice that I've read is to use the one you enjoy doing the most. It'll mean that you're more likely to spend longer on it, which will negate any slight differences in calories burned per machine. I'm a big fan of the elliptical myself, although I like the rowing machine too.

A number of people here tend to not eat back all of the exercise calories they burn in order to account for any inaccuracies in the HRM estimates. Some eat back about half of the calories that they burn from exercise, but monitor your weight and how it is against your expectations, and adjust your intake accordingly.

I have 5, but this is my latest one.

I use JeFit on my android - I think there's an iOS version as well

I personally try and keep chocolates / biscuits etc. out of the house in order to minimize the temptation to eat them. I don't have any banned foods, so if I really want it, I can go out and get it. However, I've found that in two months of being back on this, I haven't felt the desire for it that strongly that I've been…

When you're first starting out with training, you can definitely see some muscle gains while eating at a deficit. There are also some theories about within day calorie surpluses and deficits, but I'm not sure how well researched they are, or if it they fit into the category of bro science.

Heya. Good luck with the weight loss. Feel free to add me :)

I was at work, and a colleague flushed the toilet, walked out of the cubicle and went straight out the door without washing his hands while biting his nails.

Set yourself specific defined goals with a timeline. I like to set an overall goal, and then quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily goals. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like some additional support.

I used to eat it on a regular basis, but almost never these days. Switching to being a vegetarian has made it easier to avoid fast food, as there's not that much variety on the menu if I have a look these days. Since I've got into eating healthily, I also find that greasy food really doesn't appeal to me any more.

I also much prefer weighing myself each day - I find it helps to keep me accountable. I don't stress about any fluctuations, so a day when my weight jumps up isn't a cause for concern. I also have a 7 day average that my spreadsheet calculates each day, and I tend to pay more attention to that - that's usually going in the…

It's difficult to know how many calories are burned from weight lifting, as rest intervals, perceived effort, if you're supersetting etc are specific to you. A HRM can give you a decent estimate if you pause it during your rests, but MFP doesn't count any calories from it. You can select strength training in cardiovascular…

I take a monthly front and side shot. It's actually really a confidence boost when you scroll through them and see your stomach going down each time.
