Don't Let the Bathroom Scale Get the Better of You
http://physiqonomics.com/the-weird-and-highly-annoying-world-of-scale-weight-and-fluctuations/ I feel like I have posted the above link 391 times in the main forums. The reason I keep posting it is that misunderstanding the scale ruined many of my weight loss efforts. I VERY distinctly remember being a teen and trying to…
Introduce Yourself
Introduce yourself here. Share as much or as little as you like.
Success-Forward Thinking
My idea of success-forward thinking as it relates to weight loss is to get rid of anything unnecessary. Most of this is popular misinformation about what a person needs to do to lose weight. What it means to ONLY need a calorie deficit to lose weight: 1) You can eat what you want - no need to cut carbs or avoid tasty food.…
General Discussion
I've noticed that we have started using the intro thread for general discussion lately -- let's do it here instead! That way we're not discouraging new members from posting intros.
Advice / Guidance
Hi All, I wasn’t going to make a new post for this but thought it could help others overall etc. So with myself personally, I’m not sure where to start exactly - I know everyone is different with weight loss but where is a good place to start? Is there anything that anyone has followed and it’s worked well for them…
Larger Loser Group Rules and Policies
Hi and Welcome! We are going to try and be informal here but there are a few rules to know: 1) Know the difference between fact and opinion. 2) Don't pee in someone else's sandbox - if you tried keto and it didn't work out it doesn't make it bad for someone else. 3) Medical supervision is necessary for very low calorie…
Discussions
Share Your Day
How is the day going for you? Since many things contribute to how easy or hard it is to stay in a calorie deficit this thread can be about anything you wish to share. If you want to talk about the food you have eaten or that dumb email your boss sent you this is the place.
Food inspiration, or what's for supper?
Given that there are so many good cooks in here, I thought it would be fun to start a food idea/recipe themed thread. Sometimes you just need some cooking inspiration, or maybe you want to share a new or favorite recipe. To kick things off, I'm planning on baking some cod for supper tonight. I've got my veggies/side dishes…
Thoughts, Epiphanies, Insights, & Quotables
Whether original or something you came across that helped or inspired you this is where you share it if you think it might help others.
Share your Numbers
If you want to post your weights or any other numbers this is the place to do it. If you would like help with any weight loss related math this is good place to ask as well.
How many minutes did I exercise? ⛷🏂🏋️♀️🤼♀️🤸♀️⛹️♀️🏃🤺🤾♀️🧘♀️🏄♀️🏊♂️🤽♀️🚣♀️🧗♀️🚴🏻
@AthleteLori had the good idea of starting a roadrunner thread to record our minutes of exercise! So I'll get the ball rolling, and we can tweak the 'rules' and icons once we've built up a head of steam. For starters I propose that we get a 'sporty'…
Non Scale Victories
Here's a thread for those little (or big) moments that don't include the number on the scale. I'm sure there are times when you think nothing is happening, or it seems soooo slow but then you have a moment when you realise something has changed. Mine yesterday was not giving in to a stressful day by over eating or…
Looking for friends
Hi Everyone, I have posted on here introducing myself, but every time I try to add a person who comments, or peaks my interest I don't have the option to do so! I use my iPad, iPhone & Mac, but the Add Friend button is never available ... I am wanting to gain friends, so if anyone wants to add me please do so. I will…
Triathlon hopeful
Hi. I need to lose 75 pounds and become healthy. So I decided to run a triathlon in a year or so. Need a goal. Nothing like being eccentric.
Food...control...the endless loop
I haven’t posted much but was just looking for some thoughts or support. 10 years ago at the height of the most stressful time in my life (death of both my parents, divorce, becoming single mom to 6 yr old and newborn) I hired a personal trainer and lost 90 pounds. I was still very overweight as I had started at 353…
Putting my food down!!
Hey friends! My name is Jeanie and I have about I currently have 53.5% BMI and need to get down to 30% BMI (about 80 lbs). I am so so excited to have joined a group! I work as a teacher and am fairly active. I go to Orange Theory fitness 3-4 times a week and walk all the time.
