  • I'm in. I hit 43 hours in March thanks to a fitness challenge (extra group fitness classes available) at the gym, which has sadly ended. Plus I'm starting to have weekend obligations again now that winter is (maybe) ending. Trying for 30 in April! April 1: 65 minutes walking April 2: 50 minutes cycling April 3 April 4…

  • This is basically my approach to meal prep: leftovers for lunch at work. I keep an eye on the stock in the fridge and that determines whether we make a recipe for dinner with 4, 6, 8 or more servings. We make dinner every night we're home. It's not always a Big Recipe Event...tonight we have a meeting after work, so dinner…

  • We used BA or HelloFresh most weeks during a span of a year to a year and a half while we were both working full time+ and in grad school at night. It cost less than eating out, and took a lot of work off our plates. For three nights/week, no one had to: -Decide what to eat for dinner -Consolidate ingredient lists into a…

  • yup, I took the 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight guideline that I've seen mentioned here and I think of that as a minimum number. To be fair, I also see my calorie goal as more of a minimum than as a ceiling to fear. I would rather lose slowly and retain the muscle I do have and have great workouts the whole…
  • And you don't need to cut carbs to lose weight. I have only monitored my overall calorie intake, and more recently my protein intake, and have lost weight. If you don't miss carbs, count away. I am someone who functions poorly (mentally and at the gym) with low carbs, so that approach doesn't work for me. My refusal to…

  • Wholesum bar (Wegmans store brand). Favorite flavor is the Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew. I tend to eat breakfast at work because I am someone who isn't hungry and can't eat right when I wake up, so I've tried a lot of bars! I think these are tasty and I don't get hangry before lunch.

  • I don't like doing pure cardio with other people - my fiance and I learned quickly when we got ready for a 5k that we needed to run either at different times or in opposite directions! If I'm going to the gym just for that, I want to be there alone and in my own glorious silence/thoughts/fave TV shows. And I have no…
  • Went for a walk after work because 33.9 was bothering me. Walked 25 minutes...new and final total for February: 2,060 / 1,440 minutes --- 34.3 / 24 hours

  • If you log the exercise separately, it overwrites the calories for the steps earned during that time. So Fitbit alone says "4000 steps were taken between 4 and 5 pm, 200 cals" and then you log "Zumba, 60 minutes, starting at 4pm, 350 cals" - it overwrites the basic calorie credit for steps in that timeframe because it now…
  • I'm in. I hit 30 hours in Feb thanks to a fitness challenge (extra group fitness classes available) at the gym, so let's aim for 30 again in March!
  • I tried the fitness sampler at my gym as part of a new program kickoff - 15 minutes of 10 different classes. The trainers who'd just taught or who were waiting their turn were teasing me: "this must not be hard enough - you're still smiling!" Ha, nope. It's not that this is easy - I'm just thrilled! I kept asking my body…
  • I updated the totals section on Sheet 1 to add the weight loss on Sheet 2 as well. As a group, we've lost 992 lbs to date! Bring on 1,000!
  • If you flip back through this thread, you'll find that I really like to list it daily and then roll it up by week so that I can see how the weeks compare. I usually do the same thing week to week (5 group fitness classes) but then depending on work and weather I might be able to add indoor elliptical or outdoor walking.…
