There's soo many pub crawl events happening this month due to Pokémon Go. Not only that, businesses want to enlist their places as gyms to encourage traffic/business. Some think this game is a fad, but I think it's leading up to more opportunities than we can imagine atm.

I can't wait to catch some more today. I work in the downtown area - POKESTOPS EVERYWHERE!!

Trying to jog 6 miles in under 60 minutes. Hoping to reach this goal in 3 months!

Best change was learning how to count calories, serving sizes, and macros. I was surprised at how much I was eating (even though it didn't feel like a lot). I've sustained -35lbs for the last year and a half. Another change was learning how to jog properly. I enjoy it and I can almost say I'm addicted to it.

16:8 is fasting for 16 hours and eating window for 8 hours. Typically, people stop eating in the evening (let's say 8PM) and don't eat until afternoon (12PM) the next day. The easiest way to stick to the 16:8 diet is skipping breakfast. I recently reached my goal weight (145) and I took a month off and ate at maintenance.…

Weight loss is about calories in, calories out. Eat less than what you burn. Exercising is for health benefits. If you'd like to stay off your knee, I'd recommend doing upper body/core exercises. For lower body, walking is fine. Focus on stretches that can help alleviate knee pains.

Strength training doesn't burn a lot of calories. I don't log in strength training.

Google interval running, sprint training, and trail running.

This is a great post with good information. As someone posted above, definitely try body recomp. You may not lose weight but you'll feel and look better. FYI I'm on my last 10 pounds but I think I'm going to stop weighing myself and focus on strength training.

If you can fit it in your calories/macros... :p -Korean egg bread (youtube Maangchi channel) -Banana muffin w/ protein powder and chia/hemp seeds (basic banana bread with add-ins) -Vegetable stir fry w/ your choice of seasoning (so simple, so clever) -Fried tofu w/ rice and cucumber salad (easy prep!) -Cream cheese &…

5'6" and started at 180. My first goal was to get down to 150. I told myself that 150 is the perfect number. Then I got to 150 and realized I still had body fat % to lose. I'm at 145 now. My new goal is 135. I think it's important to set small goals, reach them, and adjust accordingly. What's also important to remember is…

Here's my binge problem: eat small during the day and then BAM I EAT EVERYTHING AT NIGHT NON-STOP JUST PUT IT ALL ON MY PLATE. I'm actively working on trying to fix this. I read that you have to train your body how to understand hunger from cravings. Look up some tips to fight cravings and try some out to see what works…

Hey I'm going to add you after I post :) My stats: SW: 180 CW: 145 GW: 135 5'6" Since I started my weight loss/health journey in February 2015, I've typically ate back most of my calories burned. I'm going to stick to a strict 1,200 calorie/day intake with light cardio & strength training. I'm hoping to lose these last 10…

Agreed with many posters above. If it's what works for you, then that's what works! I've lost -35 pounds in a little over a year. It's the most sustainable weight loss I've ever experienced (previous attempts were crash dieting and regaining). So I averaged about -2.5lbs/per month which is considered on the "slower" end.…

Take an activity break. Get up and stretch. If you're able to, perform simple at-desk workouts (planks, ab rotations in chair, squat & holds, etc.) If your building has stairs, walk up and down for 10 minutes.

I started seeing results after -15 pounds (mirror selfie comparisons). I started at 180, now I'm at 146 and I'm definitely seeing AND feeling results: 1. Mile time started at ~10m/mile, now down to 8.5min/mile 2. Push ups started at ~5, now can perform ~15 3. Waist measured at 32", now at 27.8" 4. Finding old pants/clothes…

I had a lot of visceral fat about 15 months ago (not sure what my BF % was). My waist measured 32" and now it's about 27.5". I tracked calories, and ate "junk" foods in moderation (beer, pizza, chips, etc.) by reducing portion sizes. I think it's really about a calorie deficit and incorporating more raw foods into your…

I put on some music to pump me up. Like I'm in a music video or something. I break up each mile with bodyweight exercises (push ups, sit ups, etc.) so that I'm constantly focused on what's next during my jog. I always jog outdoors.

TeaBea (above) hit the nail on the head. I would also add to make sure you get enough fiber through the day (~35g).

Kale muffins (w/ hemp, chia, and flax seed mix) with steamed spinach and cabbage

Build more muscle, stay hydrated, eat less processed foods, and give it time. All good things take time!

Depends on how you feel, and the duration of the run. Experiment for a while and see what works for you. I perform better if I eat something before my run but I'm fine without it.

I'll join! I'm trying lose -5lbs by end of April (very hard for me). But I'll be happy with -10lbs by end of May! I do around 60 minutes of exercises, M-F: MWF - 30 minute circuits + 15 minute jog. TuTh - same as MWF, but also +30-45 minute strength training in evening. Saturdays - Strength training. My weakness is my…

Beer, especially in social gatherings. It's basically my kryptonite.

Sprint training helped my endurance. Do it in sections. Start with 10 second sprints, build up to 20, then 30, etc. Google "sprint training routines" for more ideas. My endurance was really bad as well until I started jogging every day + sprinting. Practice!

Try incorporating sprint training 2-3x a week to your regular workouts. Helps with endurance, lung capacity, and works various leg muscles.

I'm fortunate to be able to exercise during my lunch breaks, so here goes: MWF: 30 minute abs + 15 minute jog/6-7mph. TuTh: 30 minute legs + 15 minute jog/6-7mph, then post-work at home: 5x5 stronglifts. Saturdays: 5x5 stronglifts.

Yeah, I started prepping my meals Sundays. I pretty much eat the same thing the whole week. Then I switch it up a bit the next week. But I'm finding that I swap between the same 3-4 meals...

"You don't need to lose any more, you'll disappear!" "Why are you still dieting?"

I'm currently doing lunch workouts (1 hour lunch). As soon as the weather gets unbearable (100+ degrees), I'm switching to AM workouts, before work.
