I feel the same as ahoy_m8 does and find it easier on my own. I work away from home for 10 days and home for 4 days. Super easy to be motivated and accountable. I find at home my wife who does not follow any fitness or nutrition plan makes it much more difficult for many reasons, time, she don't eat what I do, temptations…

Forget the scale, use measurements, how clothes fit, how you feel and look. Numbers on the scale change to often and due to very many factors.

If I can offer my two cents here.... It comes down to nutrition and exercise choices. Find something that works for you and is sustainable. I find a lot of people chose diets that are not sustainable in the long term and that's what causes a lot of regaining. Same would go for exercise choices, if you picked hours upon…

Not sure if you want to go up in price, I feel you get what you pay for. I just bought Jaybird X3's and absolutely love them. Also not sure where you live but I paid 130 Canadian for them

In one word persistence, it will come off if you are persistent. I went from 320lbs to 200 in a little over a year. I sat at 200lbs for almost another year, no loss and no gain. Hey 200 is way better than 320. Anyways I got to playing with my macros, and was able to drop the last 15lbs in about a month by cutting my carbs…

Find your maintenance intake and increase it by 250 or 500 cals a day. Make sure your macros are in check, I try for 40/40/20 (P/C/F) . Then as AH posted above, let genetics and quality training and nutrition take you there, at least as far as your genetic potential will take you.

I didn't see it mentioned yet, I think the weekly Cal deficit is more important than the daily. That said though until you have better control over your daily it may be better to worry about your daily. Eating out is tough, what you think may be within reason is usually far away from reasonable. Its all about making habits…

Perfect way to do it.

My advice any changes in calories and macros, make them small and monitor whats happening with your body and weight. EG, Say you were eating 1600 cals and losing weight. You are where you want to be now, add back 250 cals. Monitor it over a couple weeks, if you still losing then add another 250 cals and monitor again.…

You will be nervous you first few times at the gym. Don't fret, just overcome those feelings. I know its hard but trust me once you do and get a few work outs in you will love it. Think about it this way, everyone in there was in your shoes at one point in time, they are to busy and involved in what they are doing to pay…

Haha, that's awesome..... I think in time you will start to have a pretty good idea visually what your food is give or take a little. You can weight from time to time to keep things in check.

BF% is a tough one to call based on a picture. To be honest there is so much conflicting info out there on BF%. Most in this thread are saying over 20% and I would be saying at 20 or a little under. My confusion comes from different methods of determining BF%. I agree bio impedance devices are useless and only look at them…

Pop I your headphones, and do your thing. No one is paying attention to you they are in their own zone doing their thing. They also were at one time in the same position as you. Once you make it a habit you will be good to go.

Keep a bottle near by and full. I keep a 1 gallon(4 liters) bottle handy

Welcome back, Quick point try and determine what knocked you off track last time so you can avoid it this time. Best of luck

Everyday for the most part here. If it is a travel day for me, which is twice in two weeks those are my days off.

Five Finger Death Punch Metallica ACDC Disturbed I like my playlist heavy

Homemade Sauerkraut or just pickle it

As AliceDark says, you need rest days but they can be active rest days.

I make my own and add a recipe in MFP, then I know whats in it and more importantly whats not

Firstly I DO NOT recommend trying this however I cut water this past week for some photos today. That involved drinking 3 gallons (12 liters) a day for 3 days then 4 gallons(16 liters) the fourth day. Then cut water half way through 5th day. I am still alive and never had any adverse reactions to it other than constant…

Great job keep at it

I eat salmon, tuna, cod, halibut, trout, shellfish, anything I can find.

Something that you can maintain and stick with, so basically most diets DON'T fit the bill. Look at it less of a diet and more nutrition. Eat healthier foods, healthier portions. Keep your calories slightly under your maintenance level. Basically burn more calories than you eat, CICO.

I switched from smoking to vaping years ago, still vaping. I am sub ohm and rebuild my own coils, vaping 6mg ejuice. I am still able to achieve my goals, be it cutting or bulking. I find the nicotine just keeps me level. That said it is a drug, it is an addiction and I accept that.

I do them on back day, my current PR is 315 this week, 2 sets at 6 reps. I am 193lbs

43 - Male - Canada 5'10" SW - 320 CW - 193 GW - 180-190

Heavier Dumbells, more benches and more squat racks

I have never done the roll of shame but have come very close. I have been close to it many times but have been able to muster enough to hit the bottom pins. I have given up on the barbell bench press as a staple and stick to exclusively dumbbell for my chest work. I will on occasion do the odd BB bench to see if it has…

I was drinking my coffee with half and half. I finally decided to kick that out and slowly started getting used to it black. Took me about a week now that's the only way I will drink it. Except maybe add some flavored protein powder to it.
