I'm in! Me - 1 LNS - 0 Streak-1

1. Are you weighing everything you eat in grams using a digital kitchen scale and logging in your diary accurately? 2. Are you using a heart rate monitor to accurately track calories burned during workouts? 3. Are you consistently weighing yourself under the same conditions?

Stevia and a flavored coconut milk creamer.

*raises hand* Vegan who watched the documentary checking in. If it wasn't bad enough that the documentary has some of the quackiest doctor's, Kip Andersen's smarmy, antagonistic behavior throughout the entire thing is maddening.

Digital kitchen scales are cheap. You'll see results when you stop fudging the numbers and hoping you're at a deficit at the end of the day.

Depending on the intensity of your workout I'd log it as either circuit training (moderate to high intensity) or Cross fit (for high to insane intensity)

Trufax. I make cashew cheese and TVP crumbles all the time.

I'm vegan and the best way to save money is avoid processed meat and cheese fakealike products. I mean, they are okay to ease through the transition, but over the longhaul they are very gimmicky and expensive. Buy up frozen fruits and veggies. They're cheap. Buy produce that is in season, when it's cheapest. Rice and tofu…

I read that and was like, "so, what can I eat?" And I'm saying that as a vegan.

I can walk into pretty much any gym and feel at home. I go to put in the work. I lift heavy things. I sweat on some cardio machines. I leave. Lather, rinse, repeat the next day. To me it isn't the location that is motivating. It's seeing how my body is changing for the better that is the motivation.

I tried the peach, red velvet, and sea salt caramel flavors before going vegan and didn't care for them. The texture was nice, but the aftertaste reninded me of lighting a cigarette butt you find in an ashtray and smoke out of desperation.

I like to pick things that are easy to track - like common wine brands or 12oz bottles of things like hard cider. I have lost 50lbs in 11 months (over 100lbs over all) and have consumed alcohol the entire time. Now, there are days when I choose to abstain, because I'd rather eat those 150-200 calories rather than drink…

Here is the problem then. I did an experiment. I took my protein powder and went by the serving size of two scoops. According to the label, two scoops weigh forty-three grams. Two full, level scoops actually weighed almost ninety grams. That means I would have been consuming twice as many calories as the label suggests.…

I, personally, don't feel the need for one. I don't track calories burned from just walking around. If I'm actively walking, like for exercise, I use my S Health app on my phone.

I don't have cheat days. Cheat days turn into cheat weeks. I plan ahead.

I like doing fasted cardio. I feel less sluggish and heavy when I do HIIT without a gut full of food.

I'm a Diet Pepsi fan myself, but there are no calories. No calories means it's literally impossible to gain weight from drinking them.

Only steady or HIIT cardio. I don't count calories burned from my daily steps or daily tasks(like cleaning), nor do I eat back calories burned from strength training. If you're eating back the calories and losing, keep doing what you're doing.

I don't have a splurge day. I plan for dining out and will look up the nutrition info online or make a best guess. If I go to over, I'll make up for it at the gym or eat fewer calories the next day.

I typically do not eat breakfast. If anything, a piece of toast with my coffee. I usually fast until lunch time. Lunch and dinner are my biggest meals of the day and I always spare calories for a glass of wine or beer and snacks.

Check QVC. I got my Vitamix on flex pay. 6 payments were much easier to swallow than the huge price tag.

For me it's ice cream or peanut butter.

Most recent NSV - I was putting my legs up on the crunch machine at the gym and tried to hold my legs together to keep my phone in place. It kept falling through my thigh gap. Other recent NSV - I bought a romper. First time I've worn shorts in over a decade.

That's a really large goal. I lost 50lbs in 10 months, but it is staying off and I feel really great. Never deprived.

A 90 degree squat is sufficient unless you're doing powerlifting squats. A2G squats with lower weight are more stressful on the knees and don't really produce any significant benefit over a parallel squat. With that said, it's not very useful to have a trainer you don't click with. Hopefully the next one will be a much…

I do both. I don't track calories burned lifting weights, but I track (and eat back) my cardio calories. On weight days I'll do 20 minutes of steady state cardio. On cardio days, I do 40 minutes of steady or 25 of HIIT. Depends on how I am feeling or if I'm pressed for time.

I drink at least one diet soda a day. I have consistently lost weight. I don't feel any worse for the wear.

I eat back all of my cardio calories, but not the ones I burn lifting weights. It's working just fine for me.

Definitely the case with my local Y. I pay $30/month for the premium membership at Planet Fitness. My husband has the basic membership. A monthly membership to the Y would cost me more alone than for both of us combined at PF. The only difference is my local Y has a pool, which after being a guest one day and seeing it…
