The only time I get frustrated or annoyed is if someone asks me for advice and then basically just craps on everything I say. I mostly am one of those people who keeps to themselves about their weightloss / fitness unless asked, but if you ask me for advice, and I give it to you, don't then tell it won't work for you…

my favorites are: single serve tuna pouches, 17 g protein per 70 calories. string cheese- 7 grams protein per 60 calories hard boiled eggs- 7 grams per egg (70-90 calories) jerky- (i do salmon, 9grams per 80 calories) strawberry banana 2% chobani- 14 grams per 150 calories

salmon jerky! It's my favorite thing at trader joe's ever. I also really like the frozen seafood, meatless items, the organic frozen corn is delicious

depends where you are starting- i just lost 75 in six months, but where I'm at now, I probably won't be able to lose my last 50 by December, it will significantly slow down.

Been lifting for 6 weeks with a pt, would be happy to have more lifting friends on here :)

I think it depends on your goals- I chose my trainer because my goals were to start lifting and start lifting properly. I also had a trainer when I was younger and actually had no real 'goal' and ended up seeing no benefit after 3 months. I've been with the new guy for a month and half, I feel stronger, I've been able to…

Smoked salmon cream cheese, it says two tablespoons but when you weigh it, it's like one. Fruit on the other hand, I underestimate, I get to have so much more.

If I'm hungry, maybe a string cheese, pop chips, berries, glass of champagne.. whatever I'm in the mood for. Usually when I have 200 calories and under left, and it's late, I probably just go to bed and leave them for the weekend : )

My goal weight brings me to a bmi of between 21 and 22.

I think it was like a version of the three day military diet? I don't know but I still can't eat green beans.

If it's a pinch here and there, no. If it's a significant amount of a spice, I will

Grilled watermelon with balsamic glaze and warm goat cheese , and arugula salad with grilled octopus. Both were amazing!

Aside from using it as a tool for my weight loss goals (and obviously fitness goals)- I feel so much better about myself when I finish a work out- healthier, less anxious, etc. and it motivates me to continue working out / eating healthy etc.

I try to get minimum 4 days a week in the gym, but I also try to be active on my days off of the gym. Average week: Two days a week lifting (upper / lower) for an hour each, two days a week I do an hour of cardio plus a 30 minute strength program (one upper / lower that compliments the other two days). Sometimes I'll also…

nope Have you ever gone rock climbing?

That was my biggest obstacle to overcome, and honestly what lead to me failing so many times before- I would have unreasonable expectations and I would end up giving up. This is a lifestyle change, and you're doing it for more than just the 'scale' - focus on hitting milestones and NSV's as well as the scale, and you'll…

@Dnarules and @lishie_rebooted Rope courses sounds super fun, I'll check those out. @lishie_rebooted I unfortunately have a full time corporate job, otherwise doing something like that would be my dream : ) And @cheshirecatastrophe I know, I want to- maybe for my next birthday (30!) I'll get over it and do it

We actually have stand up paddleboard classes here in Brooklyn, I will definitely look into it!

WOW thank you. paddle board, wind surfing, sailing, skateboarding and maybe some of the sports are definitely going on my list (i'd love to base jump/sky dive but i'm also a baby so idk) , and meetup is a good idea, will totally look into it!

Fishing would be fun, I don't know if I could mentally hunt to be honest, I'm not against it, I just don't think I can do it myself!

Trail running! That's a good idea- I'm kind of a terrible runner, but that sounds fun. And DUH swimming, I must be having some brain fog because I completely forgot about swimming. I'm a little nervous about rock climbing but maybe at the end of the summer once I get a bit stronger.

edited to say this doesn't seem feasible

Consistency only matters over the long term, not on a daily basis. If you 'derail' you start again the next day. I've derailed my diet over and over again over the past 6 months, but I always started again, I didn't let one night or even a WEEK of falling off the wagon stop me from continuing and I've managed to lose 74…

I hate lunges and accessory work but it's necessary !

I strength train 2-3 times a week (one day upper, one day Lower and when I can one day I focus on glute work) and then I cross train at least 2-3 other days a week, by that I mean either cardio or outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, trail running, etc. I wouldn't do one without the other personally

I used to hate exercising as well- I don't what changed, but I really enjoy it now and really enjoy being active. At first, in January when I started going to the gym, I absolutely hated it, now I hate the days I have to miss the gym. I think once you start doing something and make it habit, you actually start to enjoy it.

pop chips and flavored seaweed is my go to when I'm craving salty / crunch chip type things

5'6 CW:192 GW: 130's , I think!

29, 50ish pounds to left to lose, already lost 70. add me if you want!

I would 100% report them to the staff. If someone is talking about at the gym, that's ridiculous.
