What is one permanent change you've made to create a life-long calorie deficit?
What is one permanent change you've made to create a life-long calorie deficit? For example I've switched to sugar-free syrup vs. regular and it saves me about 100 calories (reg syrup is calorie RICH!). Reduced fat cheese vs regular saves me about 30-45 calories per ounce. These are food changes I can live with. What about…

Anybody doing whole Lent fast?!
So its 2 weeks into Lent and I know people usually "give up" something (i.e. meat, soda, etc). But is anybody else doing an actual Lenten fast?

Glycogen and fat stores??
So, I was reading on this post about weights vs cardio and somebody said something about weights first to burn glycogen and then cardio to hit up the stored fat. Sounds great, but how do you know when you're finished with the glycogen and have moved into the fat deposits?? Is it a time thing? Reps? Anybody can help?

Excited!
I'll be 25 soon and its time to get things in order! I'm excited about this new step I'm taking. MFP is already being a big accountability helper and its only day 1! I already love to exercise many days out of the week, so reigning in my food will be the last big step needed to effect change and I look forward to how MFP…
