Dan is a macro Jedi :drinker:

MAKE SURE YOU SCRUB THE SKIN REALLY WELL!!!!! The skin holds all the nutrients!!!! :)

I am a new runner (started the C25K program September, Finished in November, been running 3 times a week under 15 miles since) and I have just started having ankle/calf issues. I am wondering if it has something to do with my shoes... I currently wear Asic Gel Nimbus 12's. When I first started running, I bought a…

I am pretty sure this is accurate because all the pictures have someone sitting on their back doing calf raises LOL

OMG. you look amazing!!

Really? Because my girlfriend has the SAME exact scale as I do (we bought it together at BBB). She steps on hers and it turns on. Does your scale read the SAME number every time you step on the scale? And can you set your user preferences? I followed the directions on setting that up and it didn't work. Kinda fed up with…

I have a WW conair glass scale. I am pretty sure I got a lemon. When I step on it, it doesn't turn on (i have to pick it up and place it on the ground slightly hard), I can't set any user preferences, and it reads the same number all the time. I've been using my mothers healtometer scale for the past month. I think I am…

But what if someone told you that you can eat 1500-2000 calories a day and still burn fat and lose weight at a sustainable pace? Would you still restrict yourself at 1200 calories? Better yet, could you maintain a lifestyle at 1200 calories for the rest of your life? I can't. I'd rather learn to eat according to my…

I am going through the same thing (ankle pain) and calf/hammie pain. My doctor said my muscles were tight and that stretching was the only thing to do. I see a podiatrist next wednesday

Enjoy eating chemicals in a jar. Send your peanut butter to NJ. I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands!

Wouldn't you want to lose weight at a healthy, sustainable pace while eating between 1600-2200 calories??? It can be done! Just saying. :wink:

OP, If you are following MFP guidelines, yes, eat your exercise calories back. You can also search for topics that you have questions on. 99% of the time, there are answers already out there :smile: Good luck!

After a long run, I have to wait an hour or so until I can eat. If I eat right after, my head is in the toilet. No bueno. :sad:

I see a difference in your stomach! Keep going!

This is how I got fat. Go figure! :) :smile:

When I first started MFP, my co-worker kept buying me breakfast. And not the healthy banana and yogurt parfait kind of breakfast. Burger King greasy sausage burritos, Dunkin Donuts chocolate glazed donuts and McDonalds steak and cheese bagels. After the first week or so, I was nice and ate the food she brought. After all,…

5 Grabs??? Hmmm..how can I sum up my 5 grabs??? 1. Protein (Boneless Skineless Chicken breasts/cutlets, Ground Chicken Patties, Lean ground turkey, chicken/turkey sausage, oven roasted turkey lunch meat), Salmon and Tilapia 2. Dairy (fat free milk, greek yogurt [all flavors], Cabot cheese [75% fat free or regular], regular…

MFP started me out on 1470 calories back in July. After 3 months and only 7 lbs lost, I found the "Appzilla 2 App" on itunes and used their BMR calculator. I plugged in my numbers and found out how many calories I should be eating according to my activity level. I made my own 500 calorie deficit and wound up eating around…

I buy Wegman's greek yogurt in their flavors (vanilla, honey, peach, strawberry and blueberry). I slice a banana and top it off with Kashi go lean cereal or Trader Joe's High Fiber Medley cereal. Yum!

My theory is: If you can't attend social events without constantly worrying about calories and diet, you might as well stay in your house forever! Life is way too short. Eat, drink and be merry! You won't gain 10 lbs overnight and you will most likely be under your TDEE. Enjoy the pancake/pizza party!

All those "butter sprays" are just chemicals! Better off with the real thing! Real butter = fat burning fat :)

Walking is how I started!! I walked for 20 minutes, 3-4 times a week just to get moving! Eventually, walking turned to into running! Something I thought I could NEVER do because of my weight! You could also buy some free weights and try an at home strength training video. My friend loves Tracey Anderson. I got my 5 lb…

I have recently started adding these once a week in my 3 mile runs. I can tell you that my legs are starting to shape nicely!

I could eat 6 tacos and a chicken burrito from taco bell in one sitting. Not to mention, an entire large pizza by myself!

Just eat the real thing!!!

this.

I heard it's really a laxative. Just put epsom salt over your food. It will do the same thing.

If it fits your macronutrients, eat it.
