I have been around a long time with a lot of weight fluctuations. My goal this week, get back to exercising after a week off. My dog is injured and I felt like I had to be home 24/7 Continue super conscientious eating with a plan each day Make sure I have stocked groceries I look forward to everyone's progress

I have Crohn’s disease My struggle is the healthy foods that I want to eat to lose weight are the foods that tear my gut up. But potato chips and candy digest easy. What can you eat? Peanut butter , ensure, avocado??

I love these podcasts. It works for me on so many levels. I can eat my definition of healthy- I already plan ahead but this makes it a formal process. I like to eat big meals and feel full- so I am more conscientious of hunger and fullness. I love the cut the BS and just do it

Take a big lettuce salad and your favorite home made dressing. Fill 3/4 of your plate with that and take thank you bites of some other interesting foods

My meals have a pattern of foods which I eat frequently. For example a protein and two veggies or a big salad or eggs and fixings. Most people would think it’s super boring However, I only eat food that I love. When I bite into my food I go mmmmm

Avoid blended cocktails like margaritas, daiquiris and pina colada. I drink wine or beer socially But if looking for a buzz with few calories I drink lemon vodka with crystal light.

I have sugar creeping back in also. I think it makes my arthritis flare up so I definitely need to get serious. You know it got bad when I started putting coffee flavored ice cream in my evening decaf. Got to go back to the HWC instead. I am mostly protein, lots of veggies and healthy fats. I avoid artificial sugar also

Can you do resistance cardio like rowing machine or bike on a hard resistance? Or HIIT to change it up some?

I am 5'4" and 145 is the lowest that I like to go. I have packed on muscle and lost 80 pounds and am concentrating on STRONG My face looks too thin and wrinkles when i am under 145

I do a couple things I drink one beer really slow I order "tapas" , small plates or an appetizer especially things like ahi tuna or fish tacos. Those are small size splurges and I don't make Them at home If dessert is being ordered, I will decaf. I try to keep my hands busy and stay inconspicuous

Thanks all. The weight loss was never the focus since I lost the pounds in 2015 Happy that I more than doubled all my lifts in 3 months.

Ok- first I stopped doing the exact program for various reasons. I was starving all the time DH wasn't available to spot me on bench when I needed him I hated being tied to gym. If it was nice outside- I wanted to be running or walking I was sore All THE TIME 4/11. My goal was squat, deadlift and Bench press over 100…

Lifting + cardio but mostly healthy controlled diet

Nice work!!

I disagree with the kitchen. Genetics play a huge part in it I am 5'4 and 155 pounds. I lost 65 pounds in 2015. I have no idea on my body fat. I do no ab work or isolated work. I lift heavy- upper and lower.

Last week I was doing bent over rows and someone tried to give me corrections. I was eavesdropping before and he was talking about teaching a class (mostly women and light lifting) for 8 dollars/hour. He turned to me and said can I give you suggestions. I did it his way for my last 2 sets. I came home and told my husband…

And more steps even if around the mall, Home Depot or your neighborhood means less time sitting in the couch eating snacks while watching HGTV. For me the challenge to get 10,000 steps By 4pm means that I have had a day that didn't involve sitting on my *kitten*. It takes a run and a leisure walk to hit the 15,000 steps…

I mix mayo with sirracha as a dip for chicken or fish. I also dip broccoli in in

Old fashioned Atkins before the shakes and bars: induction levels were 20 grams total spread out through each meal. About 5grams of green vegetables with meals with the rest used for dairy or other. There wasn't artificial crap or fake sugar etc allowed. Only induction list foods I think you need to Experiment. If I eat my…

Yep. I would ask the person "working"

Isca 1. My deadlift does go up by 10. I thought that was the setting. Your weights are impressive. I am ready to quit. It is so hard. Actually Ian on vacation and am taking off 6 days. Will happily run. I have gained weight. Maybe due to being hungry all the time or just doing less cardio

The fistulas. I had poop coming out of the wrong place due to the recto-vaginal Fistula. I am sorry you are going through this. I was in a constant flare even on every drug possible Remicaide probably caused my liver issue which can was misdiagnosed by 2 docs. Thank god- because it gave me about 10 years to live so…

To answer some questions about my surgery. I went through a few doctors in my metro area before seeing a doctor and surgeon at Cleveland clinic. Multiple Fistulas and abscesses and my colon was shot. I had diarrhea 20-30 times a day and many many "accidents" I was also had a bad liver diagnosis which made the surgery…

This is hard. I am dying every workout

So sorry that you have to deal with that. I have Crohn's disease. I had my whole large intestine removed and 12 inches of small. I have had a colostomy bag since 2007 It was a party to not worry about the bathroom After surgery so I slowly gained weight. I am working on healthy habits now and am progressing thru…

Sixpacklady and Jesmine- great !! Keep it up

I live in a walkable neighborhood and we always walk to our charming little Downtown. I walked to the bank with my dog (always welcomed with a Dog treat) the clerk thought it was so weird and why wouldn't I just use the drive up machine. We love walking and doing our errands

This is my first Time doing a program EVER! I started 2 weeks ago. Before Christmas, I was starting to feel like I could decide if I was going to work out This program makes the decision for you. It says "go lift weights and do workout A" I don't decide when I feel like doing squats anymore. On another post, some of us are…
