Beans, high-protein pancake / waffle mixes, greek yogurt. You don't have protein powders... unless there is a specific reason for this... try some. They are incredibly convenient.

I'm usually lighter on fat than what you want. Go with whole milk for more fat.

Depending on if you are ready to strictly follow a diet, a protein supplement would help. To hit my daily intake of around 150g, I include Silk's high protein nut milk, regular milk, beans (all types), peas, any lean meat, greek yogurt (under 15g protein a serving is not allowed), and a couple scoops of protein powder.

There are some keto breads you can make. They tend to be high in fat and calories and may or may not actually be considered bread. Store bought items in this area are very expensive. In my view the amount of energy you are getting for the high price is unjustified. It is much cheaper to just control portion sizes.

Really examine what is going on and if there is any place that isn't jiving. * 15,000 steps is about 5.5 miles. At a walking pace of about 3-4 mph that would mean you are walking for 1.5 - 2 hours a day. * 1,500 calories minus the steps is enough where you should be at a caloric deficit. The food scale advice is crucial. A…

It's helpful to see the others on here who have low BP. My heart rate makes it to the mid 40's when sitting around as well and I become light headed if I rise quickly. Recently, I've been more deliberate about warm ups before workouts and improving hand and feet circulation. My hands and feet are almost always cold and…

Steamer bags work for making a quick vegetable. Cooking beans in the pressure cooker works well (when you don't make paste out of them like I did in this pic). I also throw extra meat on the grill when I make dinner so it fits with time I'm already spending. 300 calories per dish 35g carbs 7g fat 34g protein 16g fiber

Good to see others doing this. This is what I've been starting the day with: 55g rolled oats 5.5 fl oz silk protein nut milk -- because it is nearly all carbs at this point 3g brown sugar I make 3 of these at a time and stick them in the fridge. In the morning, they get 1:30 in the microwave.

Doing 3 days of lunches to start out with. I'm having a ton of trouble with fruits and veggies. They seem to go bad just as soon as I put them in the fridge.

A few people exist who have encouragement as one of their gifts. Their are a few on here. Pwrlifter82 was really helpful to me. Busted my butt when I didn't log in. About 6 months ago, she disappeared. Huge loss to this community. What may be helpful for you is an accountability partner. Someone who knows your goals and…

Looking good. Keep it up.

Motivation comes from a few places. It is most effective when it comes from within you. Don't really have a before and after. Up 30 pounds. For a before image, imagine the same picture with less me and more background.

Twerking in public.

Webbed feet. :)

We disagreed on foreign investment strategies.

then she ate it. Wait, that's backwards. Uggg. Can't keep up.

Saw selfies. Why do I keep getting dudes?

Rain.

Arguments about manscaping.

Thanks for the tip! Hottie McDreamboat pic coming someday.

Check for this orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00166 . Look at your ankle alignment. Know what subtalar neutral is for you https://youtube.com/watch?v=Vf0FWDIO1_U . As mentioned, you may need inserts or shoes with more support. Be careful with this. Running through it may cause further injury.

The whole looking for a hookup misunderstanding is based on your definition of the phrase "something more". Something more may also include: 1. Eskimo kisses 2. Potential joint dog ownership 3. Enjoyment of each others' stamp collections 4. Sex (No that's absurd) I meant watching the Notebook for 26 hours straight. 5.…

On a good day.

I take it he was a brother from another mother.

Thanks Jo. Will look into it.

You must've just beat me on the reply. My current routine is one I made up. Eight weeks of a workout that was designed by a more professional lifter could be a very beneficial experience. I've also noticed some variation in my lifting. Since it's a made up program, it can be varied at will, right? A new program would help…

Need legs added. Boredom :smile: It's fun to see what others are doing. They usually know more than I.

Thanks for the reply. Bench: 250 Overhead press: ~130 - Guess from my 5 rep of 110 Haven't worked on legs much due to running injuries and the fact my upper used to be so lacking 30 pounds ago. Am fine with picking it up now. Tried squats this week and everything felt ok. I'm guessing I'd max around 200 there and gain…

Yep, paybacks.
