I also have a versa right now. and i've decided when it dies I want the garmin vivo active series. I like the look of the watch. I like that it's waterproof for swimming but still does most of the things that I use my fitbit for. I think overall it would just be more compatible with my lifestyle and activities and would…

I have yet to go there! It looks lovely. I went to California for the first time last year, mostly Napa Valley and San Francisco and did love it, but no beaches.

Today (or the last few weeks of "todays") have been... alright... Last week I took my deload week (I do one every 8 weeks) and took the full week off lifting/exercise. Sometimes I will continue to workout but do less weight, less sets, less reps, but last week I just wasn't feeling it so I didn't. From 10/25-11/1 I…

I personally do planned deloads. Even if I don't feel like I need it I feel like my performance has always increased after taking one. For me whether I "feel" like I need it is not a direct correlation to my body actually needing it.

I will pre log my work lunches and snacks because they're pretty consistent and then loosely log something for dinner based on what I think I'll have but that's open to changing based on plans and level of motivation for cooking vs what's leftover from the last few days. So yes, but I'm open the changing any or all of it…

I personally will wait a couple of days and then eat what I'm craving, working it the best I can into my goal. For me I've noticed true cravings usually are caused by a nutritional deficit. I naturally am a low fat eater. It's just the kinds of foods that I like. I don't like the taste of full fat cottage cheese for…

I abide by an 80/20 rule.... 80% of what I eat should be "healthy" foods. But I also don't believe foods are good or bad. except in taste. anyways you get the idea. So for lunch I aim around 700 calories. For dinner I go 800-1000 calories. My goal currently is 2300. So after dinner maybe I want a snack while I watch a…

3 down... 3 to go. I almost skipped yesterday too because I was so tired when I got home but I went and got it done anyways and I'm so glad I did!

It will take time for your mind to catch up. I still have trouble sometimes and will grab a size too big or will look at something that's a size I wear often and think "there's no way that fits" Congrats on the new clothes. But I gave up on style a long time ago. I never know how anything is supposed to fit so I just wear…

my ex had a lab husky mix. and that sounds exactly like her. she was a terror. She was so smart, but so stubborn and would just refuse to do something just because. She chewed the base boards in my exes house to shreds. Chewed furniture, doors, clothes, everything. but she loved my little dog when they met they were best…

I have a dog that I rescued when he was around 3 years old. There's no amount of reassuring I can do that could convince him that we will not, in fact, run out of doggy food at any point. I don't know what his life was before but it couldn't have been great. At just over a year our puppy is well trained... I know because I…

Hey, I'm all about simplicity and don't wanna recreate the wheel if I don't have to. :wink:

I think the difference in my "plan" this time around was making smaller changes. I still eat all the same things I always have I just eat less of them or eat them less often (looking at you Oreos). But overall I think the biggest change in my "plan" was that I stopped caring how long it would take me. I didn't worry about…

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8EbfzFB0mBrMGJ6V2N5QWNfeTg/view I've always used the one at that link when I've used one. It tracks your caloric intake and daily weight and gives a weekly trend. It's the one I liked the most while I was trying to lose weight. It doesn't work in maintenance as well because you have to…

I agree. I think it has to do with a WW style where they want somewhere to "check in" but also... I had a friend who did WW and she would just skip the meeting if she knew things had gone poorly... so who keeps them accountable to having a check in... I personally think the only person that can hold myself accountable is…

I've considered putting my puppy into doggy day care one day a week just so he can go play to his little hearts content.

Thank you, I honestly hate when people say that... that and "how are you"... ugh. I would absolutely walk your dog. I think it's my dream someday to open a doggy day care facility or become a full time dog walker/sitter... My 3 are 9.5 years old yorkiepoo. 7 poodle mix of some kind, and just turned 1 mini australian…

Goals for this week: -Hit all 6 programmed workouts. 1 down. 5 to go.

Goal list I made myself from now until Dec 2020...(only the fitness part) I think that's it for now... * unassisted chin ups * Unassisted pull ups * squat over my body weight (need to buy a rack... don't have one) * Hip thrust 350+ * dead lift 200+lbs * stop skipping exercises just because I don't like them. ughhh *…

Olives.... bleh.

Hmmm ok. SW: 281 CW as of this morning 167.4 Today I'll do some random workout numbers because I'm pretty excited about the progress I'm having on my programming. Hip thrust 255lbs x6 x3 - PR for me by 20 ish lbs. I think I could have done more but gotta form check with my coach. Sumo Dead Lift 155x8 - almost to my body…

I usually do a turkey, ham or egg sandwich. Aunt millies makes a light honey wheat bread that’s 35 calories a slice. They have other varieties as well. Cottage cheese and fruit. Or a yogurt cup. Maybe an apple or celery and peanut butter with raisins (I like PB powder because I can keep it at work.)

Is this only for weight number or can it be any numerical information?

A few bad days is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Keep your head up and keep going! I look forward to watching your progress!

Hope it's okay if I join. I wish a group like this would have existed when I started in 2015... About me. 5'5" 29F. SW: 281 (March 2015) CW: 165 GW: Undecided. Total Weight lost: 116 lbs I'm mostly out of the weight loss phase for myself (slowly drifting downwards) but like I mentioned I wish a group like this would have…

Usually if I'm craving something it's because my diet is lacking in something that my body needs. For example, every few weeks I CRAVE fat... a juicy fatty bacon cheeseburger... because my diet at home is just naturally low fat, not intentionally, it's just the kinds of foods that I naturally eat and cook. So every few…

I just say no... simply "No." No explanation, not excuses, I don't say I just ate. I just say no. Maybe "No thanks" if I'm feeling polite but no one needs an explanation as to why you're saying no. You control what you eat. Period. Don't want a cheeseburger? Don't get one. On the rare occasion the food is something I want.…

To lose weight count your calories. Set MFP to an appropriate weight loss goal (most likely .5-1lb per week is appropriate) and activity level and eat those calories. If you exercise above your activity level then log that exercise and eat back 50% of those calories. Most likely you will not lose 20 lbs in 3 months. 5-12…

I would say, yes I am the most active person I know in my own personal circle. Huh, never thought about it.

I go through phases with my foods. For example, for months on end I will bring the same kind of sandwich and snack to work and LOVE it and then one day I just don't. So I will make something else for a while. I do the same with dinner. Sometimes I meal prep the same 5 recipes week after week and am into it. And sometimes I…
