I am doing a modified Keto - down over 7lbs in 15 days. Feel free to add me.

Click on the persons picture -when it opens up a dialogue box -click their picture again to go to their profile -there will be a green button that says "add friend" -click and wait for them to accept. Anyone, please feel free to add me - I am in "restart" mode as well -been back in the game doing a modified Keto approach…

Bill - I am that older guy trying to get back to similar weight as you- I am targeting 170 and I am 5'10". Feel free to add me.

Looking for friends as well - I am looking to lose about 25lbs and add muscle. All tips/advice accepted.

Try making your own protein smoothie - in a blender, put chobani fruit flavor yogurt (pick your favorite), get the same frozen fruit and put in, a scoop of vanilla protein powder and then some ice. Blend it and it makes a great tasting frozen smoothie - I look forward to them. You can add stevia/splenda if you want a…

I make a protein smoothie - Chobani yogurt with fruit, then frozen fruit, scoop of protein powder and some ice - if you want it a little more "sweet" -you can put in a packet of splenda/stevia/s&l. Put it in a blender and it comes out like a milkshake/frosty. Good as a cold treat after a tough workout - I look forward to…

Butterfly- goes in a caterpillar -comes out transformed -beautiful.

Once you've logged in, click "My Home", then "Check-in", then "Edit Previous Entries". The latter is at the bottom of the entry panel. On that page, you can delete weight entries, or add new entries for any date. So, you will have to go back and find where you first entered your weight and change it.

I like to make a frozen protein shake - it's like a milkshake but only about 300 calories, fruit and protein powder -and, you make various flavors. Just get some protein powder (I use Vanilla, chocolate or Fruit Punch), then get some Chobani flavored yogurt, add frozen fruit, scoop of protein powder and some ice - and,…

There are many recommendations for protein intake - probably between .8 grams per lb of lean body mass (not total weight) for maintenance and about 1.2gram/lean lb for bulking. But, again, many different recommendations out there. P90X is good for toning ad some weight loss but will not build a lot of muscle - need to lift…

Stronglifts 5x5 or Ice Cream Fitness -Google them.

I slice them, put them in a bowl (sometimes with shredded carrots), add some water that just covers them - then, put them in the microwave for about 4-5 minutes. Then, drain them and put seasoning on them (salt or pepper, McCormick seasonings like garlic and herbs or cajun, etc). Sometimes, I'll toss in some chicken with a…

Celery with laughing cow cream cheese - less than 50 cals for two large stalks with the cheese spread on them (taste good and way fewer cals than peanut butter).

No such thing as losing weight "too slow" - even if you are losing it slowly - you're losing more than someone sitting on the couch!

I take shredded carrots and chop up some brussel sprouts - put them in a bowl- fill it with water just above the veggies - put it in the microwave for about 4-5 minutes, drain and then put chicken in the bowl - add a little soy sauce (low sodium) - mix. Sometimes, I put a little cajun spice on it, sometimes a garlic and…

I agree with EW - you have to define how much you plan to cheat - I cheat one day on the weekend - I typically eat up to 1,000 extra calories once per week. But, I also add an extra 30 minutes of cardio that I don't calc in my target. Thus far, I have lost 20 lbs in 20 weeks - no doubt, I would have lost more had I not…

I like to use Chobani Pineapple yogurt - 1 scoop of Vanilla protein powder, some frozen pineapple chunks - some splenda or sweet&low with Ice - it is like eating ice cream but only 250 calories and 38 grams of protein.

I bought my stuff on Craigslist - so many people buy stuff and then quit - like new equipment & low prices. You want a bench, rack and probably about 200 lbs of weights. Not that you need it but I have 3 bars & two benches (one for doing bench presses and inclines and then another that I use the rack for squats and have…

I like to grill chicken (thighs or chicken breast) on the weekends. Then, during the week, I take 4-6 oz and cut up in small pieces -then, each day I'll toss it with something different - like various McCormick spices (cajun, garlic and herb, etc), bbq sauce, teryaki sauce, etc. Also, I steam a vegetable to go with it…

You can also find PB2 at GNC - they usually will have it for buy 1, get a second for 50% off -go ahead and get a gold card - you get an even lower price and they'll send you coupons. - All the protein, none of the oil/fat. Great to mix in your smoothies as well if you make chocolate/pb protein shakes.

I drink diet soda daily - usually Pepsi Max or Diet Dr Pepper -every once in a while, I'll drink a Diet Mt Dew. I drink 3-5 per day. If you want a carbonated soft drink and no calories, it just takes a few weeks to get used to the different taste vs regular. But, I also eat pizza about once a week and other sacrilegious…

I view it as a mental game - mind over body and I'm on the "Mind's" team. The mind is tasked with taking care of the body and the body is defiant. Who will win?

I just recently started buying them - I use them more for a meal replacement. I agree with some folks that you can buy less expensive protein bars. But, thus far, Quest bars are the only ones I have found that taste good (I have a broad taste tolerance), have 20g of protein and about half my daily fiber needs. I actually…

I workout at home- I can't imagine working out with people at work -awkward. I trolled Craigslist and bought some free weights and an Elliptical Machine. I also do bodyweight routines in my living room in the evening. I can control the tv, play music or whatever. You might consider agreeing to sign up for a class or…

I have two belts that I use as motivators - one is too small - can't wear it yet. The other is a belt that I wore before I started my journey. Over the past 3.5 months, I have added two new holes because it was too big even on the last hole. I think I may have to add one more hole before I can comfortably wear the other…

If you are logging accurately and eating at a deficit - you will lose weight. Depending on your current weight, you could see your metabolism slow as it adjusts to a lower calorie intake (i.e. your body thinks you are starving, so it goes into survival mode). It took me a few weeks as well. After a few weeks, I started to…

There are seven days in a week and Someday isn't one of them!

Feel free to add me - same spouse challenges and judging by your picture -we also have preemie in common -my third son was born at 31 weeks and spend 7 weeks in NICU - I know the stress.

Anybody -feel free to add me - been here for 100 days and losing fat, gaining muscle. Starting to get a cadence/routine and very committed.

Good Luck Mike - first recommendation would be to get some friends and get hooked on this site/app. It can help with your healthy life cadence and accountability -if you have to log the crap you eat, you are less likely to eat crap. Regarding diet vs exercise - diet is 90% of weight loss. However, as you can, you need to…
