They do spike my feelings of "Why do I sometimes want something that is proven over and over again to be bad for me" Ha! Food is such a strange thing at times. I'm trying to feel less of an emotional attachment to it. Usually I do well. The holidays always had those sweet treats Now just the thought of old family dinners…

It wasn't. I didn't quote you I clearly stated it was my feelings As far as I know, I don't need to filter how I feel about myself with you first.

I don't do cheat days They really are punishment days For me being stupid enough to think rewarding myself by sickening my body is somehow good. We have free doughnuts at work quite often. So far I have skipped them every time I just don't want the derail of my body for a day.

I see pickle juice for sale at the Sporting goods stores That is why

So you failed It isn't for you Nice thread to explain it. It will be exciting to see which nutrition strategy works well for you in the future. That would make a much more interesting thread.

So some people are over eating and getting fat. It would be interesting to see if there were any general dietary changes and trends as the weight crept upward.

Pre workout NO3 BCAA mix MCT or coconut oil Fish oil Baby aspirin 85% dark chocolate and pistachio nuts daily for heart health. I eat them as a prevention thing so I call it a nutritional supplement to my diet wether I want to eat it or not. It works for me 110 over 60's bp Resting heart rate around 48-52 Hard to tell how…

This group needs frequent reminders to behave. I have seemingly joined a band of Internet ruffians!

Great timeline in pictorial form. The lesson learned just jumped out to me for my maintenance. I will pretty much stick with what has me healthy now. Why change and expect to see the same results? Thank you

Lost a bit over 125 lbs I road bike race or ride fast for about 150-175 miles per week. I do group rides and online challenges like the Under Armor challenge this year. I lift heavy 2 days a week. Sleep is just as important as lifting for me! I'm pretty much where I need to be weight and body fat percentage wise but just…

Get the orientation session Most people have a litte adjustment time when joining. After a while you may meet a few new friends My gym is huge and I have met a dozen people over the last few years. It will be ok. You can worry about it, it just won't help anything, but you already know that

In prep breakfast and lunch daily Eating out picking up breakfast and lunch was how I found extra calories without looking! That really helped me control portions. I used a food scale and weighed things, pre-logged my day, and it kept me more focused and on track It works for me I have already made and packed my meals for…

I had carbmares, but I smothercated them.

I didn't get on a diet really. I just found lower carb as a satisfying way to eat the right amount of food for my activity level. I added a few active lifestyle choices. Long term hobbies and group activity type things Seems like there is a new life in place. No failed lifestyle to really want to go back to I don't want to…
