Working from home: feel myself slipping
2 weeks ago I started a new job working from home. I have a healthy sleep pattern and can easily get my morning gym work outs in. My job before was also at a desk so there's no real activity level change but now I'm struggling between 1-4 pm wanting to eat out of boredom/knowing food is 3 ft away etc. Any suggestions? TIA…

Breakfast ideas (tired of oatmeal)
Does anyone have a good breakfast option that isn't oatmeal? I have smoothies sometimes but I find that I'm always hungry soon after, so if you have any filling smoothie ideas that would be great!

Macros?
I've never hit my macros or gotten anywhere close in the past few weeks that I've been using MFP. Does anyone have suggestions or a meal plan? Or is it okay that I'm more focused on the calories than the macros?

Is "refeeding" necessary?
Just read this article and would like your thoughts. http://www.muscleforlife.com/refeed/ Bonus question: As a 5'2" female with ~18% bf and eating 1200 cal for the past 6 weeks, do you think I would benefit from a refeed or is that only for 'real athletes'?

What's wrong with eating under 1200?
Since starvation mode doesn't exist, what's wrong with eating less than 1200 calories a day? The only downside I can see is that a person would be hungry, but it will only help with weight loss so why are so many adamant about not eating less than that number?

What's on your workout playlist?
Lately I've been running to movie sound tracks.. SO nerdy but they make me feel kind of epic. :) What are you guys listening to?

I just bought a food scale!
I just bought a food scale and I'm so excited to start weighing everything! I just kept reading in pretty much every thread about someone plateauing that they were probably underestimating intake and that a scale is the best way to be safe. I know it's a little thing, but I'm excited. :)

Cold all the time?
Since eating with a deficit I am freezing all the time. It was normal for me to be a little colder than most people but reasonably before; now I'm wearing a coat inside at work when the thermostat says 75 degrees. Is there something specific I should be eating or a supplement I should take? What's wrong with me?

Goals?
I'm a little confused about what my goals should be based on. Should it be by BMI or body fat percentage? Are those too based on the same scale or completely different? How did you guys decide what your goal would be?

Weights and reps question
Is it better to use heavier weights on gym machines and do fewer reps or do more reps but with lighter weights? Or does it matter?

Cardio vs strength training as short girl
I'm 5' 2" and I read an article that said shorter girls should focus on strength training instead of cardio because cardio makes us hungrier and we have a lower calorie allowance (mine is 1000 cal). Is that true or is a balance of both the most beneficial? I only have about 1 hr and 15 min a day to exercise so I want to…
