As yirara said this sounds like fluctuation and it happens....personally I have on numerous occasions "gained" almost 2 pounds within 24 hours. That's more than the weight of the food I ate in that timeframe. It all depends on how much you change your diet composition, how much you train and how your hormones fluctuate, it…

I spin too - but not every day. I aim to spin with the intention of pushing myself (like you do) 2-3 days a week, this is my anaerobic training. In my opinion going hard like you do every day will not allow your body to recover and you will wear yourself down rather than building yourself up. My aim is to do 1 hour 2-3…

I think it varies from person to person.....for me it is the other way around. One of the big factors for me when trying to improve my mental health is good physical health or rather making sure I eat well and get exercise. If I neglect my physical health - typically because day-to-day I am too busy to focus on it - it…

@minnelizzy: I can only agree with that goal - I am in the same position

I just got a Garmin Vivosmart 3 for general fitness tracking. But as I researched which tracker I was going for i continuously found that any tracker which measured the pulse using optical sensors (worn on your wrist) would fall short of the quality of puls rate measure with a strap type sensor (including the one I bought…

Taking a look at the Food Pyramid and the guide to it may help - it is a tool that's generally recognized, but like all other tools you need to know a bit about how to use it to really gain effect from it......and like all other thing it does contain simplifications and assumptions. But to get a general impression of what…

I weigh in once a week (Thursday morning) and record it for monitoring my weight loss over time. But in periods I also weigh in every day or several times a day without recording it for weight loss, but to get a feel for what my fluctuations over a shorter period of time (week or day). So depending on what I want to use…

Welcome - My story / goals 41, male, 2 (quite active) kids, want to get back to a weight and fitness level where I can keep up with the kids (or even keep going when they get tired). Shedding just ½kg per week would be great, that way I would be in an acceptable (but not optimal) weight range in about 10-12 months

As a side note I can say that I do something similar - except I grab the protein before taking a shower and then heading to bed. What I have found is that I do not suffer nearly as much from fatigue the next day which makes me more productive and likely to adhere to diet/training regimen the next day.....but that is just…

Me too......trying to get back in the groove after having let myself end up right back where I started

Liver - hate the stuff...... I don't think I'm staying away from stuff as much as I'm trying to limit my use of food/drinks that counteract my goals and make conscious decisions on when to have them.

Yes - it's a constants struggle and personally I have slipped more often than I care to count and even wound up back at square one (so I'm starting over.....again)

Isn't it just a protein supplement like any other protein supplements?

For those kind of exercises i would probably look for a Heart Rate Monitor. I hear a lot of good about the Polar FT series (FT1 / FT2 /FT4 /FT7) you could look into which features you want and weigh it against the prices.

Yup - sounds about right to me too (and incidentally I do this myself).......I have a have time moderating when I get started and found that for me a better mechanism is postponing.

Without knowing your full situation and without being a trained physician/dietist I can only give you my personal view. Losing weight and gaining it back thorugh adding a little extra exercise and eating right (I only know your total caloric intake - not how you coontrolled it) once does not make you a yo-yo dieter in my…

I typically work out about 3 times a week - in general you can say that for losing weight diet is the king......diet is way more important than exercise when trying to lose weight. Exercise is to improve other physical markers. But you can always try to mix it up - but that might as well be trying something different than…

Well - rest days don't have to be inactive - you just don't work out intensely. So if you feel you should do something you could go for a walk or light jog.....or take the bike out without pushing yourself or something like that.

With regards to calories/fat content exchanging one oil for another won't do anything. Oil is a liquid fat - the source will only influence texture and composition of fat types / content of trace elements (which affect the flavor). If you want the calories / fat content down you need to change to using less oil or frying…

With our daugther we had the same experience as alyssa92982 - she needed to be in a room other than our bedroom. She was so imprinted on my wife and she could her my wife breathing when she woke up at night (which they do at least 3-4 times a night), she would reach out for my wife and wake up fully. When we moved her crib…

I aim for somewhere around +/-50 calories (goal is TDEE - about 500 to 700 calories)........except on days with workouts where I usually aim at 200-250 calories below to compensate for what I would have burned just lounging about instead of working out and creating a buffer deficit for when I don't log in the weekends and…

Personal opinion: If I was at or near my goal weight and just aim to lose a few pounds, I would probably not go below BMR but take it slow and eat at the BMR mark. (actually come to think about it.....I don't think I would go below my BMR in any case)

I'm on a 1800-1900 caloris "budget" and typically leave 900-1000 calories for dinner

Work from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m Eat dinner at 6 p.m with the children Tuck children in at 7 p.m Work out from 8:30 to 10 or 11

I can only speak for myself and how I do things. I have set up my caloric intake so that I on average eat about 250 calories below my TDEE a day. But my calories are distributed so that I eat well below my TDEE on the 5 work-days and in weekends I eat pretty much whatever I want in what quantities I want. I don't log…

I like big butts and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist And a round thing in your face You get sprung..... Yup

The amount of lint that can hide in my belly-button....

I can't believe this.....5 pages and still no puns like: Did you do it - did YOU cut the cheese?

Red curry soup Fry up some red curry paste - pour in coconut milk. Adjust to taste with salt, pepper, chicken stock and more red curry Stir fry some vegetables (carrot, sugarsnaps, peppers, onion.....let your imagination run wild) Stir fry some chicken breast cut into thin slices Place vegetables and chicken breast in bowl…
