If I have a craving for something, I give it time. I wanted Cracker Barrel pecan pancakes for like a month before I had them. I waited to see if the thought would pass, and it didn’t. So I planned to have them and was really careful with my food for several days before. I had the pancakes, with butter & syrup and an egg on…

Just do what you’re doin Tank.

The calorie restriction and lifting volume are too strict. Don’t you want your changes to be sustainable and long term? Don’t be so hard on yourself or you could be setting yourself up for burnout before you even truly get started. It’s a lifestyle, not a quick fix.

One of the biggest misconceptions of being fit, is that you have to join a gym at all. I’m a little bit of a loner when it comes to fitness. I don’t like the sweaty equipment and crowds of a gym. I don’t even like running with another person. I like to be with my own thoughts when I exercise. Youtube is a godsend for a…

Honestly, the last * 5 lbs * makes a big difference in belly fat for me, and I’m 5’9”. It’s genetically the first place I gain and the last place I lose. Exercise helps, as it can give you a girdle affect when you’re fit. Whatever happens, don’t let it be an excuse to go back to an unhealthy & overweight lifestyle. You owe…

Don’t think so, because I have designer shoes from the 80s & 90s that still fit me and my current shoe purchases are the same size. When I was 30 lbs heavier *everything* was tight on me. Including my shoes and jewelry.

I’m not a kid anymore. I’ll be 58 soon. In the past it always was about looking good naked. I did healthy things and not so healthy things in the past to achieve that, (much more prevalent than you’d think) Now it’s about feeling good and being healthy for as many years as I can. About sticking around for the people who…

I finally lost the last 10 lbs when I pre logged my day. Snacks and all. I tend to snack at night, but I have the same tasty snacks (tasty to me) every night and work them into my food budget. It seems to do 2 things. Gives me something to look forward to, and causes me to be more mindful of eating more vegetables during…

The part that threw me was your husband not noticing. 20lbs is quite a difference. I’m 5’9” and am currently at maintenance weight but my weight has went up and down about 30 lbs over the years. My husband, family and friends usually noticed the weight loss when I would hit about 10 lbs lost. I’m not like a lot of the…

Me too. I guess that’s why I’ve come back to it twice today...🤔

If you love chips and can eat a portion size, why would you deny yourself? Losing weight and keeping it off long term can only be done in a way that is lifelong sustainable FOR YOU. Calories in, calories out. Bottom line.

Also, is that the Monkees? As in heh, heh were the monkees? Dating myself.

They must have smelled your meat diet in your sweat. Cows are funny like that, the don’t like getting eaten.😂

I thought 23%. No matter what the numbers say, you look beautiful.

Yes. I just hit goal weight a couple of weeks ago and I eat all the way up to right before brushing my teeth and going off to bed. No problems there.

I absolutely understand your fears. I hit my goal weight and then skipped right over maintenance and gained the 12 lbs back guickly. 🙁🙁 I just now hit my maintenance weight again this week and I plan to go under it by 2 lbs, just to give myself some mental wiggle room. ( my goal weight was 149, and the mental difference of…

Honestly, this makes me cringe. I’m 5’9, female and 57 years old. I exercise about 2-3 hours per week usually, but for the last couple of months have gotten very little exercise. I lost the 1st 12 lbs by eating 1800 calories a day, or about a net of 1400 calories. The last 10 lbs I fumbled with miserably for a long time,…

@barbarajaneuk. I saw that documentary and it was so interesting and well done. I’ve been an intermittent faster for 35 plus years. Way before it had a “name”. Not for weight loss, but because of how it makes me feel. I always feel smarter, faster, leaner, more creative, and have more energy when fasting. It’s good for my…

I’ve seen the term skinny fat used on these forums to describe very physically attractive women who did not fit some peoples interpretation of what fit looks like. As in, they weren’t “muscled” enough. So, I do have a problem with that term because it is grossly overused, IMO. And yes, yes to body weight routines.…

For most of my adult life, I’ve been quite fit. The thing that is different for me at 57 is that I found out I don’t have to work out 60-90 minutes to be in shape. When I started HIIT bodyweight circuits several years ago, I discovered I could get similar fitness results that I had gotten in my 20s, 30s and 40s, but I only…

I have TMJ and probably had it most of my life (childhood headaches and sleep problems.) but when it really manifested was after having cosmetic dentistry at 40 years old and crazy as it sounds the dentist had big hands and I have a small mouth. Followed by years of severe jaw pain which caused headaches and shoulder pain.…

Since I don’t intend to give up pizza, potatoes, ice cream and popcorn for life, and I want to *eventually* hit my goal weight and stay there for life, I feel that eating a variety of things I like and love, is the smart and sustainable approach. Plus, when I tried to go low carb for 2 weeks many years ago, I ended up in a…

I have no experience with the results of using it for loose skin. But for wrinkles and/or stretch marks, it absolutely does work. I’ve even spoken to my dermatologist about it, and while he of course would rather I spend 100s of dollars getting “microneedling” at his office, the concept is the same. It takes super…

I don’t think most people that say “keep it up” mean it in a negative way at all. I’ve said it to people myself. It means: Keep it up—living healthy—exercising—eating well—taking care of yourself. All positive things, and “keep it up” is said in a supportive way. At least by me.

Not syncing for 2 days now. Annoying.

Yes. Annoying, but I gotta let it go.LOL!

I also stopped drinking entirely after 35 years of almost daily drinking. Some periods of my life it was more serious, oddly those times were either very sad times or very happy times. My norm was a bottle of wine a day, plus a couple of beers for many years. Drinking never caused me problems as far as legal or…

We have almost identical eating schedules. LOL! What is protein coffee? I assume coffee with protein powder in it?

If your not into bodybuilding/heavy lifting, how about some youtube bodyweight routines? You can define your look and lean out and you don’t have to lift if you don’t want to. I’m currently following Melissa Benders workouts on YouTube. They are free and challenging.
