Maintenance eating recommendations
Hi, I am just starting losing weight with MFP for the fourth time. Previously I have been very committed to losing weight for approx 3-4 months, have stuck to my MFP allowance and dropped 40-50 pounds. I then drop off the wagon, all my bad habits return and the weight piles back on. During these previous attempts I never…

Eating during and after long endurance exercise
Hi, Does anyone do long endurance exercise and, if so, what are your eating strategies before/during/after?

I generally have a bath straight after the run…

Best weight-loss tool other than MFP?
Hi, Just wondering what helps you guys with losing weight? The best thing that I have bought is some wi-fi enabled scales which upload weight, BMI and fat percentage to a web portal which then graphs the results. It makes it effortless to track this info. The wife hates them though as it also tracks her values!
