Happy hump day everyone! 63 days to turkey day: SW: 167.8 GW: 135 CW: 153.4 TL: 14.4

I'm very similar. I eat 3 meals, and 2 snacks a day, all pre-planned/weighed. For me, there is two benefits to this:* Without planned snacks/meals, I forget to eat, and then overcompensate at meals to make up for being "hungrier." * Without morning/afternoon snacks, my blood sugar drops between meals and causes drowsiness.

* Losing weight won't fix your self-esteem. * Stop letting your health fall into the background--make it a primary concern. * You are far more capable than you realize you are. * Appreciate the process; don't just rush for the results. * Cut the starches--you feel better without them. * Weigh and measure your food. *…

For me, it's not letting weight loss and fitness fall into the background when I get busy/stressed. This is the second time I'm focusing primarily on weight loss. Hoping it sticks this time.

I have two moments that spurred active weight loss: * First, when I was my heaviest (195) and was terrified of the scale hitting 200. This is the first time I lost weight. * Second, when I gave online video games due to the time sink and decided to instead invest all that time into losing weight actively again to hit my…

Hey all. Checking in this week: CW: 156.9 SW: 167.8 GW: 135 Hope all the Florida and Texas folks are doing all right! Looks like many of us are on track for the Turkey Day goal. Keep it up. :)

I've never been particularly thin, so this is a rather ambitious goal for me. However, my gym has an in-body machine available to members, so I check on that every 4-6 weeks or so. Good luck to you and let me know how it goes!

Some combination of fresh fruit, nuts, and jerky (beef, chicken, turkey, whatever) for me.

I have a few goals right now:* Get to 20% body fat (about 25 lbs away) * Start going on backpacking adventures * Run a half marathon in under 2 hours next fall * Be able to do consecutive pull-ups

Good advice! I've definitely noticed my technique is off. Thankfully, i have a few trainer friends that help spot me from time to time. :)

Being physically fit can still mean you're overweight, and eating healthy and being at a healthy weight can still mean you're not physically fit. Still, they work together for overall healthiness.

Hi all! I've been working out for a few months consistently, but I decided to change up my workout routine starting this week to be more efficient and intense by following a strength training regiment (http://www.building-muscle101.com/5_day_beginner_workout.html) and switching from steady-state cardio to HIIT. Cardio: 30…

Snacks help keep my blood sugar normal and prevents those lulls, personally. I tend to have a small one between breakfast and lunch, then another small, protein-based one after the gym, between lunch and dinner.

I was in a similar situation about a month ago -- good calorie intake and exercise, but the scale wouldn't move! For me, I cut starches (rice, potatoes, bread, pasta) and increased vegetable intake. I've been losing 2lbs a week steadily since again. Something like this could work for you to?

Hey all! Great work so far! 78 days til turkey day: CW: 158.3 GW: 135 I'm changing up my workout routine this week to be more efficient and more beneficiary. Also going to incorporate more stretching. Keep it up!

A lot on the VeggieGrill menu is still high in calories. Also, as said, salads. Salads and all their little extra bits that sneak up on you!

Chef's Cut Beef Jerky -- also a great post-workout option :)

I'm in a similar situation. My partner is 5'10" and 135; while I am 5'3" and at my heaviest, 195 (CW 160). He constantly reassures me that I'm not so big, but I know the facts. I've been trying to lose weight on and off for about three years now, but only now have we found a healthy balance. I'm very lucky because he…
