Just wanted to say thanks to this thread for the discussion! It has helped me put into view to have a strength training first approach to my my work outs right now. I lifted 3 times this week and feel great. That with 15k steps running after my kids and doing yard work 😊.

Great insights, thank you. For context, I’ve lost 10 lbs over the last year (the 2020 10? Also a third baby to partially blame). The last 10 for me shows in my face and midsection, so my goals are to look and be lean and strong. While I’ve lifted in years previous, I’m really just starting to pick up the barbell again for…

I'm at 29 yo, 5'5'' female and am at my goal weight of 130lbs. My current goal is to increase muscle and definition. I don't really enjoy doing cardio other than taking long walks with my family, which I do a few times a week. I do really enjoy weight lifting and am currently working on getting back into a routine after…

I've lost weight both ways- on a strict paleo diet (did this 2 yrs ago) and more recently by counting calories and eating a flexible diet. They both work! I found that because I truly don't have any food sensitivities (dairy, gluten, grains) it isn't worth the stress for me to strive for Paleo. It taught me a lot about…

When you say "eat at maintenance" do you mean your TDEE at "couch potato/no exercise" or your TDEE with "exercise at blank times a week"?? great info!

I love drinking La Croix every now and then... the coconut flavor is awesome.

My favorite way to cook veggies is by roasting them in oil, salt and pepper. Super simple but is tasty no matter the veg. Easy to add mushrooms and onion for extra flavor too. I also like cooking them up in pasta sauce with or instead of pasta with meatballs or chicken.

I really like the Jiff Natural. It's no stir, not crazy pricey, and better than the store brand.

I add in every ingredient individually and if need be, over estimate.

I'm 5'6 and am currently 150. I would love to maintain in the 125-130 range. Friend me if you have similar goals!

I love this recipe, and it is easy to swap what you have (pineapple instead of apple, for example) http://detoxinista.com/2013/03/blended-green-lemonade/ It feels great to get an extra serving of greens, easily. I add a low carb protein powder occasionally, just depends on the flavors and what else i'm eating.

I would say give it some time! The first time I did a sort of strict paleo/whole30 was for 60 days in 2012. I didn't count calories back then-- the reason I loved it so much was you can have freedom within the restrictions of paleo. I lost about 10 pound over those 2 months. Now I'm back at it with a better mindset and…
