My understanding of body fat scales is that they are not accurate but, if you are consistent about time of day/day of week/etc they will give you consistent feedback on progress. From the information that came with my expensive set, the most accurate time of day is probably mid-afternoon - you don't want to be dehydrated,…

Not sure if anyone else has raised this but you do need to make sure you are activating (lifting) your pelvic floor correctly to avoid excess intra-abdominal pressure and 'bearing down' on the pelvic floor muscles - perhaps this possibility is more what the sales person was referring to as I've not come across any…

No toning going on here!

I believe apple sauce is used to replace butter and another replacement that may work is blended butter (cannelini?) beans - or try half butter/half beans. Switch out the flour for any gluten free alternative - almond meal, coconut flour, etc.

I used Splenda for years but recently read that one of the possible side effects was a negative impact on sleep/sleep quality so have changed to a stevia based product. Unfortunately, stevia is often blended with sugar alcohols (erithrytol) so I did experience some excess/smelly gas - am now hoping my body has adjusted.

When used it the pizza base I've also usually cooked it in the microwave first, as well.
-
I've made some with Banana (1 or 2), Nut Butter (1-2 tablespoons) and an egg so you could try it with flaxseed meal soaked in water as a replacement for the egg.

Fluctuations seem to be common so not a big concern but just be aware that very a low body fat percentage can cause cycles to stop and this would be an unhealthy sign (probably below 12-15% body fat for women).

I'm boring that way - got my ears pierced as a kid but even let them close up years ago!

Bit late to the party - no idea how I missed it to start with - but another single here, although I am liking that 'Quirkyalone' definition.

Tofu Chocolate Mousse - try checking The Circle's website, think that's where I got it. Can't remember how it was in terms of carbs/protein/cals but it tasted alright!

Might be worth clarifying if they mean 'larger' in terms of fatter or more muscle bulk.

1 metric cup is 250ml - I believe that's usually considered 8oz

Yeah, I'd find males sharing certain measurements MUCH more surprising!

Here's my adaptation from last night, when I REALLY didn't have time to do it - especially as I had to duck back out to the shop for something at 8pm. 1 cup Homemade Mixed Nut Butter 70 grams Natvia (Stevia) - 1/3 cup 60 grams CSR Dark Brown Sugar - 1/3 cup 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder (unsweetened) 30 grams Primal Fuel Dark…

I'm not much help, I'm afraid - I don't know how you manage to eat so little. Had a quick look at your food diary and your Fajita dinner Wed night is more my sort of meal size!

You can't out-train a bad diet. Doesn't stop me trying, though.

Slightly tangential but, when I lived in Paris (France) for a year and restaurant customers asked where I was from, I found it quite entertaining to ask them to guess. I remember one occasion where they were going through all the American states and I just kept telling them 'further south' - they had a real problem after…

On wholegrain toast with slices of tomato and sea salt (and cracked pepper if you like it). Make a spread with finely sliced spring onion, lettuce juice (to stop browning) and cracked pepper. Add cubes to any salad. Blend into smoothies - they add creaminess but no real flavour.

Northern Tablelands in NSW are actually having an unseasonably warm week - seems like summer finally arrived - but I'm dreading winter as we often have clear skies and overnight lows well below zero (unpleasant when I walk to work at 6am).

i find that if I hold the moving arm handles at lower resistance my heart rate goes up quickly so it's a plus for cardiovascular training but I can't maintain that rate. I tend to only use those handles at higher resistance where my pace is slower and I can really push and pull to take some of the workload off my legs.

91 - Must drink less alcohol!

I give up, I'm either a 36/14AA or a 32D using the two websites and the 'inch difference' method listed - I'm sticking with my perfectly comfy 12B!
-
I own a gym in a small country town in Australia and wish I could offer membership for a lot less than the $80 I currently charge but the numbers through the door would have to be about 10 times higher - and then it would be too busy for anyone to get anything done.

I'd suggest you set MFP at Sedentary or Lightly active then log exercise on the days that you do it, then eat back most of the extra calories - depending on how fast you have set weight loss goals in MFP (0.5 vs 1 vs 2lbs per week), this will still leave you in a calorie deficit.
-
Additional Strength Training Benefit - muscles pulling on bone (to lift the weight) encourages increase (for younger people) and maintenance of Bone Density! I'm concerned about the above calculation so you may need to double-check your MFP settings, either: A) Set daily activity as Sedentary or Lightly Active then log all…

It's my understanding that Agave Syrup has about 2/3 the calories of sugar and the major benefit is that it has a lower Glycaemic Index rating.

Apologies if someone else has already posted it but here's a nice lengthy read on all the problems with yesterday's reports: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/will-eating-red-meat-kill-you/#more-27840

It's a rare occurrence, it won't hurt you.
