  • That is not really a bad idea, many find themselves able to work out harder with a bit to run on. As for snacking, though, I suggest you eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. If your hunger cues are messed up, stick to three-four solid meals for a while and see how you feel when you are in a good habit.
  • There is no single food for me. I love all things chocolate, but I have decided to make it part of my diet and it seems to work. If I want to waste 500 calories on 100 grams, I go ahead. However... Digestive caramel biscuits... If I buy those, I better make sure I am ready to log the whole pack... ;)
  • Do a search, this has been discussed at length :)
  • I eat 85 % chocolate, which is of course not as shovel-worthy as milk chocolate with caramel filling, but it kills my craving. I have at least two squares every day and it tastes wonderful.
  • I average over the week. I am usually under Monday to Friday, and then use my "spare" calories at the weekend, to indulge in some chocolate, biscuits and richer meals. Works well!
  • There are many exercises you can do with dumbbells, for example, but I am no expert on this aspect of fitness! Hopefully, someone will soon be along with some links for you :)
  • Your BMI is already 20.8. I really do not recommend you aim for losing weight, but rather that you look to building muscle to transform your body somewhat that way.
  • My wrists shrink first as well, but I do not believe this is the fat loss, I think it is water weight. Ankles, wrists, fingers and so on tend to hold some of the water retention.
  • Well done for getting right back on track! Make sure you have some alternatives to fight emotional eating. When I am angry or upset or sad or just tired, I find it helps to go for a brisk walk, listen to some suitable music or, sometimes, just plain cry. If you are able to, calling a friend and talking can help too! This…
  • You are doing it wrong! MFP has calculated your calorie goal based on your desired weight loss, height, weight and gender. You should eat all the calories granted you, plus half of your exercise calories - and you will be on track to lose weight. No doubt you will lose now too, but it seems to me you are starving your body…
  • Made me laugh out loud ^^
  • You do not write any day "off". You log and move on. Food is not shameful, even chocolate. Remember how this made you feel in your body - sugar rush and following crash and all bodily discomfort following, perhaps even put a note in your food diary to ensure you do not forget next time you feel like doing something…
