Lots of great ideas..! I just wanted to add that I think this is awesome :smile:

Love the motivation! I'm not trying to lose as much as I'm trying to maintain my current and gain mass for my 2018 competitive bodybuilding season. I'd love to connect if you're interested! I'm very active on MFP, just not super active in the community boards (915 days logged today!!) Im excited to see what this year…

I'm a competitive athlete and weigh daily. :smile:

Yup!! I take my scales with me everywhere I go (both bodyweight and food scale). I'm a traveling consultant and could be on the road anywhere from 2-10 days at a time. Some may say that's obsessive or ridiculous, but I've lost over 100lbs and kept it off for almost four years and am now a semi-pro athlete.. So if it is…

I travel a ton for work. When I'm on the road I use Fuel Meals or another meal prep service for one or two meals a day.. They deliver right to my hotel. Otherwise I try to pack my egg whites (cooked & packed properly) and my bread & stay in a hotel that has a continental kitchen or an in room kitchen so I can at the…

What a neat idea..!

Love it! Great tips, insights and ideas.. I hope this discussion helps the folks who might not have their weight managed it consistency as well ingrained in their lifestyle yet. I really appreciate this community and how willing folks are to share and inspire others..!

I prefer pre-made meal delivery service options when I'm on the road with work. If you're in the states, I really like Fuel Meals (reasonably priced and balanced!). You can customize and purchase just want you need (12 or more at a time I believe) and they ship across the states. They freeze and keep well and are made with…

@Dano74 speaks the truth...! Avatar Nutrition is a fantastic resource and worth the $..!

Hi Op - I'm sorry you had such a crummy start to your day. It's horrible to hear things like that, a joke or otherwise. I'm a professional expert in how to manage long term and sustainable change (I have a very successful corporate business in this area) and what @mccraee suggests is often the best way to start. (I've also…

We shop probably about three times a week. We only buy the amounts of fresh foods that we'll eat at any given time to avoid waste. The basics in our house include: Protein: eggs (1-2 dozen/wk), egg whites (4L/wk), chicken (2-3lb/wk); occasionally fish & red meat Carbs: Sourdough rye bread, thin cut whole wheat, cheese…

I watch Dr Phil or OWN .. Haha! I need to tune out and be mindless to get it done and over with.

My wife and I life heavy five days a week together. We lift powerlifting style in my off season (strength based 6x2, 4x4, 5x5 etc). We're currently working on a 300lb deadlift .. Can't see why it wouldn't be good for women... She's 5'7" and 209lbs and I'm 5'8" and 142lbs... Neither of us are overly bulky & as a competitive…

I'm a competitive bodybuilder - so while not an endurance athlete, I'm on a very controlled and managed nutrition plan with a university educated nutritional coach. I find that the adjustments to my plans (can happen anywhere from once a month to once a week to meet goals), often take me a few days to adjust to -…

Great idea on weighing something that should weigh specific like a weight .. ^
-
Brilliant post .. Probably one of the best I've ever seen on these boards! Your realistic approach and self-loving nature has clearly lent to your journey.. I appreciate you!

I really like protein mug cakes. If you add different extracts and stevia/sweetener of choice, you can get quite creative! I use Magnum Chocolate Love or Magnum Vanilla ..

Guys! It's Thursday...! Let's kick its booty..!! Sounds like we've all had a similar week.. Bring on the weekend..! (Yahoo - a few meetings and the gym, but otherwise it's poolside for me) I weighed in this morning and saw a pretty significant drop, my guess is it's the reduced calories (which I was in a bit of a snit over…

@stircrazy - welcome! what a great attitude... You're number one ...! @health_guard - here's to hoping you get some movement in .. it's always tough in the morning. This morning was the first time I've done morning cardio in forever. I can't say I loved it ..... but it wasn't the worst thing in life (I guess .. haha)…

Hey Kids! Sorry I've been MIA the past few weeks on the boards. Life has been busy, I'm currently on two weeks of business travel (10 days) and when I'm home I pretty much have two weekends of travel lined up into the middle of August, including a business trip to Vegas for a client dodgeball tournament (weird, I know).…

Sounds like a lot of folks have it figured out - I love the different perspectives and the different approaches everyone has. In my previous relationship? There was a lot of attempted "sabatoge" that took place. Fear on his part mainly, but it wasn't healthy... My wife and I have very different goals, but similar paths and…

Add away!

Sounds fun!

@TavistockToad - my wife and I are pretty different in our goals too. She's a competitive female tackle football player (I used to play too) and I'm a competitive bodybuilder. Our nutrition is totally opposite. When she's carb loading I'm decreasing. Lol! We have similar goals as far as training and nutritional management…

Don't forget the mental benefits of exercise @BabydollAnne .. Exercise unlocks some beautiful little endorphins which automatically give us an boost of happiness - even a short walk! I move 7 days a week and often feel more relaxed and peaceful afterward .. I use walking as one of my primary forms of cardio .. It's not…

Sounds like a crazy weekend for a lot of you, glad you had fun...!! @ngolden3320 - I'm so sorry for your loss - I hope July can bring you a slower pace and a greater opportunity to focus on yourself and your wellbeing and goals. It's always hard being the "glue" during the family ebbs and flows - losses and celebrations.…
