Drink a lot of water & keep yourself out of the kitchen after dinner. If you'd like .. maybe a piece of fruit or a protein shake to keep yourself satisfied but then you have to tell yourself that the kitchen is OFF LIMITS. Also keeping binging food out of the kitchen is a good idea... basically anything easy to grab is a…

bump. Your face does look really clear.. I'm going to try this!

Depends how risk averse you are. If you are comfortable in your job that you won't get laid off, the annual membership is definitely the smarter option as you can use it after the 3 months are up too. It's $240 for the 3 months, so it'll end up being $960 for the year if you end up continuing. If you're not sure.. and…

you can't really gain an inch and a half from a few big meals especially at your size so I'm going to wager on water weight.. it happens to me too.. just minimize your calories & sodium the next few days and drink lots of water to flush it all out. I also try to make the next few days low carb and drink some green tea. I…

I've never heard a definite reason but here are multiple reasons I've heard... 1. the added fat is a floatation aid in the water 2. when they lift, they lift for endurance not strength (higher reps, lower weights) 3. swimming causes fatigue.. meaning they tend to eat more after meets than they really burn 4. they need to…

Yes your body will gain fat if you eat too little because it will not want to let go of any of what you feed it. It is not being given enough to support it's daily functions so it holds on. It messes with your metabolism and you when you do eat more your body will store it as fat. The whole eat more times per day though is…

you should try to keep yourself at an average of 1200 or else you may find it harder to maintain once you're off your weight loss stage. i don't think 1200 is the number for everyone. some of us have slower metabolisms, others have faster metabolisms and need more food to keep them going. i'm not a health professional so…

Exactly! They could have been selling me water in a capsule.. it would have done me more good!

My only time I took a diet pill was Hydroxycut.. i saw a few lbs difference but nothing too extreme. I mostly think it was because I was pushing myself more to get to the gym because I thought I was superwoman with my new "magic pill." Now that I look back that was total bullsh*t. You can push yourself without them. I…

The added muscle is a good thing because the more muscle, the faster your body will burn the calories needed to get to your goal weight. If you're looking for other means of cardio, yoga & swimming are great and aren't as hard on the leg muscles as running.

my arms bulked up pretty quick after starting lifting so about a month after starting I had a short sleeves dress that I had bought for a special occasion. come the day before the party... I tried on the dress and it looked like I had a muffin top on my arms. had to get it taken out a bit but now that same dress looks big…

true.. you can eat all of your calories in one meal and lose weight if you are at a deficit. that's what intermittent fasting does. when I was fasting for Ramadan I was eating about 1,000 calories in one meal and lost 4 lbs in one month... it all depends on your calories over your body's metabolic rate.
-
Echoing the consensus..I'd go for a mix of both days or whichever you're more comfortable with that day. I like the first option because you get more bang for your buck. One of the benefits of exercise is that because you're increasing your HR.. your resting HR will be conditioned to be higher after an intense workout…

have been running by myself for years but just signed up for my first official races - hoping to run a 3k on Oct 1st and an 8k on Oct 30th! :-)
-
It happens. You can't undo it. Just eat better tomorrow and try to work out. In a few days, you'll forget it even happened and so will your body.

greek yogurt with some berries fruit with peanut butter a bowl of oatmeal

How often are your shifts? If you're working more than 3 - 4 times a week than I think you should switch your setting to active. This will help you to spread your working calories out throughout the week. Definitely log the calories burned from your runs though. If you're within a healthy BMI, 1200 calories is not enough.…
-
both. but who says you cant have 1.5 - 2 servings of cereal if it keeps you fuller longer. I personally have oatmeal when I want to stay full longer.
-
Yeah do what works for you! I personally do cardio 2 - 3 days a week and strength train 2 - 3 days a week. It helps me stick with it if its not the same routine every day. I do yoga Mondays (cardio), upper body Tuesday (strength), HIIT -running Wednesdays (cardio), lower body Thursdays (strength), free day Fridays (cardio…

I agree with this approach 100%. When I first started tracking my calories, I had myself set as lightly active so I didn't realize it at the time but I was technically eating some of my exercise calories, but I would make it up in good nutrition, tons of fresh veggies & fruit and a good amount of protein. I was on a high…

- when girls mix up the tones of their jewelry.. like a heavy gold necklace but then heavy silver earrings. I'm okay with jewelry not matching to the T but pick a tone - sunglasses indoors.. its just wrong. - fishnet stockings.. ugliest things ever created. the only ones I've ever bought were part of a halloween costume.
-
black tank top or bra inside a white button down. wearing a halter top or backless top w/ your bra strap or bra clasp showing.. its not sexy its trashy.

Genetics plays a huge role in your body composition. For example lets say I have a lean body mass of 101 lbs, whereas a friend of mine whose 99 lbs (total weight), same height as me but tries to gain weight and cannot. Her lean body is much lower. We have a total different body frame. If we both trained the same times…

That I couldn't eat and lose weight. I was on a number of "diets" my whole life where I was scared to put food in my mouth because I thought I'd see it on the scale the next morning. I've upped my calories since I started on MFP and have been seeing results!
-
MFP originally had me at the regular 1200 calories a day.. then I was told that my BF was too low to eat that little so I raised it to .5 lbs a week and ate more, then I found out that I wasn't sedentary, I was lightly active so my calorie count went up again. Each time I added more calories I started losing weight…

studying for the CPA exam is nothing like doing hw.. I miss college!
-
I got my friend to change my FB password while I was studying for FAR & BEC. I found MFP before starting to study for Audit... I give myself breaks. It gets hard but gotta keep up with the progress... I keep study goals that I keep the same way as my fitness goals... so sad :-( Good luck!

I love it! I feel like the show is designed to make people fall in love with Mike more but I love Harvey! =]

I love when people take themselves out of their comfort zones to better themselves and others around them.. whether improving their fitness, or helping others they don't really know, etc...

I'm guessing you're looking for a calories burned model. Googling it I found about 180 calories. I'm assuming that's per hour for an average 150 lbs. In the database there's an entry for "Football or Baseball: Playing Catch" with numbers that look similar... you could try that?
