35 pounds from goal and switching to TDEE
Over the past year I've lost 50+ pounds using the MFP/NEAT method, along with running 5-6 days a week. Now that I'm 35 pounds from my goal I've noticed my body is definitely leaning more towards skinny fat, so I switched to strength training, doing body weight training every other day (I eventually plan to incorporate…

Learning to curb binges

Time of day to exercise
Maybe this is a silly question, but hey, can't hurt to ask, right? Normally I run on the tread in the morning before I go to work, so that when I get home I can unwind and get settled in for the night. Some days, though, (usually Monday!) I simply cannot get out of bed early enough, so I exercise when I get home instead,…
