Mindless Eating
Our very own SideSteel wrote an article about mindless eating! Has some great strategies that he's helped me implement on the regular (been working with him for about 1.5 years). http://rippedbody.jp/mindless-eating/

My progress with SideSteel
Hi. I’m lizzardsm and I’m a recovering yo-yo dieter. I probably wouldn’t have ever admitted to that until SideSteel gently broke it to me. My problems: I’ve had a difficult time with maintaining consistency and with my training. My MO has been to lose weight in the fall or winter then around springtime, I fall off track…

Help! I want to LIFT!!!
Hello! I've been on and off working out with StrongLifts for the last year. I've really really loved it and was making some great progress until I injured my knee doing squats back in April. I immediately stopped lifting and religiously followed my physical therapist's instructions. Turns out my knees were misaligned and I…

On losing fat but staying the same weight
I just had a general question. I've seen several people (and I suspect I'm heading in that direction) who have lost considerable amounts of fat (through moderate calorie deficits & lifting heavy) but their weight has stayed either the same or very close to their start weight. Any thoughts on why this would occur? I…

Body Weight Scale Reccs
Anyone have any good reccs for a body weight scale (not food scale)? I take regular measurements and rely on those but my current scale will give me a different reading every time I step on it - on the same day & time. I've been a big fan of Tanita scales - I used to have one and it always gave me consistent results. Now…

My body is a Benedict Arnold - Stall help please!
Hello! I'm 30 y/o and have been eating more for about 4 weeks. I have also been using a BodyMedia fit for about as long so I'm going to provide you with TONS of data. Diary is open & MFP estimates my TDEE at 1710 - BMF adds anything beyond that as exercise calories. Working on putting in notes in my diary for workout days.…

getting ripped w/o the gym
Anyone get really in-shape and fit without going to the gym? I'm a poor grad student (and trying to pay off wedding debt) and I'd rather not have to buy a gym membership. I've been running 3x/week and am training for a 5k in Feb and an 8k in April. I've also been doing 30 Day shred and I own Insanity. Anyone else have any…

Exercise dvds for parents
My parents are getting older and are very out of shape. My mom is 62, has hypothyroidism (on meds), is 5'1 and probably about 180 (around there not sure exactly). My dad is 71 and has Parkinson's. Both my parents are really out of shape and have developed type 2 diabetes (not taking insulin). My mom is really desperate to…

To fat free dairy or low fat dairy...
That is the question! I'm doing Insanity now and they recommend 40protein/40carb/20fat. Their nutrition guide is unclear whether or not to eat nonfat vs lowfat (1-2%) dairy. I spoke with my nutritionist friend (but she doesn't specialize in weight loss) and she said that I should go with fat free dairy since dairy fat has…

keeping up with macros while travelling
So I've been doing NROL and I'm on a 40/30/30 and eating 1600-1800cal/day. I'm about to head out of state for a conference over the weekend. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can not destroy everything?? I plan on packing lots of protein powder (and buying some milk when I get there) and protein bars. Help! (agh…

bodymedia fit - pointless?
I've had the Bodymedia Fit Core for about a month now and I'm starting to forget what the utility of this device is! It provides a ton of interesting data - sleep patterns, calories burned, food tracking, etc. I'm just not not really sure what to do with it - particularly since I'm learning that intensity (such as HIIT…

BMR & Bodymedia Fit
I've always had trouble losing weight - like I bust my butt at the gym 4-6 days/week, count every calorie and still not lose a lb. My family recently found out that 1/2 of us have thyroid issues (hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, etc). My thyroid tested normal - test results were back a few weeks ago. So I thought I'd change…

protein overdose!
Hi All! I just started on myfitnesspal today! I lost about 30lbs last year then went off my diet for about 4 or 5 months. Now I'm trying to lose another 10-15. I've gone back to eating the same way I did when I was losing weight last year. I was only really counting calories and fat. I started logging my meals and…
