I don't know about the 1000lb club!! But my personal goal is to get my deadlift to 300lb and my squat to 200lb this summer, preferably both front and back (back is obviously easier). I don't have any real goals around the bench, we don't do it much, but it's nice when I improve. Currently: Deadlift - 285lb Squat - 175lb…

Okay, so I have been debating lifting shoes, in the spirit of; if I can't do au' natural (flat footed) then what is the point. I just read the comment on OH Squats and am sold. Thanks!

You could try mixing in more whole foods (vegetables, fruits) and less simple carbs or processed items, like bread, bagels, etc. It would shake things up a bit. It is true, calories in, calories out, but I find that when I eat a lot of simple carbs, my body hold on to the weight a little more. It COULD be in my head...any…

We really focus on encouraging each other at our box. I have never noticed someone walk out during a WOD, but if they did, I would likely assume they had hit their wall or needed to leave for personal reasons...sometimes our class runs late and people need to get to work (I go to the 5:45am). We have time caps on…

For sure! You are on a great path!!!

Ahaha, that's the link I posted! Great minds :)

You may have already heard of this, but I have friends who have done it and loved it! http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

It's okay to eat if you feel hungry, but try eating something like carrots, snap peas, an apple, mixed salad with some light dressing or balsamic vinegar...low calorie, fiber dense, and maybe mix in a little protein like a few nuts or a slice of cheese. If this doesn't help, then it is more likely your head and not your…

Burpees with a plate!!! Ahhh! Sounds amazing!

Let's please be supportive of the topic the person posted and keep it rolling. If you are not here to offer a constructive comment for the original poster, please move on. And to that point... I admit I am a flexitarian, I fell of the full Vegan band wagon about 8 months ago, but post workout I'm a VEGA shake fan. For a…

I like the VEGA One products and find them to be a little better than their sport products. They tend to have more of the nutrients and vitamins you would want from a plant-based product, and around the same amount of protein (more in the shake), but also fewer calories. The VEGA One all-in-one meal bars are good, and the…

I'm 5'7.5" and was 199lbs. I am at 172.6lbs today, almost half way to where I would like to be;140/145lbs. I'm sticking to it! I do Crossfit 3/5 times a week, yoga 2/3 times a week and run twice a week. It's great to see all these posts! Thank you for the motivation!

I found the more I stressed about restricting calories and not eating the worse I was. Calorie counting can be a binge eaters worst enemy as it may set you up to fail since control is the the problem and you spend a lot of time thinking about controlling the calories you are not supposed to eat. A few things have worked…

Forksoverknives.com has a great website and app with vegan recipes. Some are have carbs, but because they focus on plant-based only and non-processed foods, they are usually very low simple-carb and all vegetable based recipes with plant proteins.

Tons of stretching and foam rolling...the foam roller was a HUGE help for me!

Ground turkey meatloaf with a side of mashed cauliflower and mixed spring salad. I leave the breadcrumbs out of the meatloaf and the oil out of both. http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/turkey-meatloaf-0 http://m.skinnyms.com/garlic-mashed-cauliflower/

You deserve someone who loves you no matter your size. I have been 210, to 160, to 199, to 170 now and my husband says he loves me no matter how I am and that's what you deserve as well. I too struggled with drinking and made he decision to stop 5 years ago. It was the best decision of my life. It allowed me to face each…

I do Crossfit and find gyms to drop in at and try their workouts. If I don't have time for a drop in, I print out in-room WODs or use the hotel g. I also bring my running shoes; its always fun to check out a new place on foot with some good music (just as the hotel concierge or clerk if it's safe and for a decent…

Definitely depends on your muscle composition/where you carry your weight, but it looks like we are all in similar ranges! I am 5' 7.5" at 173lb and a loose 10 right now. My goal is 145 ;)

I have been working on losing weight for 8 weeks. I was in China for two of the weeks and ate whatever, but walked a lot, so it sort of all averages out; I was 199lbs when I started the first week of March and I am 173lbs today at 5'7.5"...it averages to 3.25lbs a week. Some weeks it melts off and some weeks it is slower!…

People have different energy levels at different times of the day. I practically do all three, but have the most energy for endurance first thing (A) with no fuel. I do (C) some days, but find I have to fuel first, so I end up with less of a calorie deficit and my energy is variable. And for (B) I only do vinyasa yoga and…

The motto is get comfortable with being uncomfortable...in the sense that every workout should be intense enough to push your limits and build endurance and strength...but it should not hurt. It will, however, start to "click." As you learn the correct form for movements you will learn to move the weight more easily, or…

I'm not a trainer, but walking sounds like a great idea...and yoga? It may help with strength and some of the pain.

The planning. I don't hate it, but this healthy stuff takes serious organization skills! I travel/fly for work to client sites and when I'm not doing that, I am working at home. Which is a blessing and a pain, as my schedule is never the same. So I plan for Crossfit most mornings and yoga a few nights. Or if I have…

Puritan's Pride sells a Soy protein on line that is 50g of protein for one scoop at 110 calories, no sugar. My weight lifting buddy for me into it when I was looking for a low-cal whey-free option!

26 down and 28 to go..basically the 30/30 club, right!?! Let's do this! ;)

I really like VEGA protein powder! It is all plant based and can be mixed into smoothies with kale, banana, berries and some almond milk! Spirulina is also a great source of protein.

Some research has been done around resting metabolic rate and the metabolic set point. A lot of it points to the theory that if you sustain a consistent high body weight (are overweight), your body may readjust to a new "set-point." My Primary Care physician has talked about this with me, and suggested that to offset, one…
