It's tough, but you've gotta do it. I agree with meal prepping. You need to streamline as much as possible. I have to get myself and my kid ready in the morning, work all day, and do all that stuff after work also. I've got processes in place so most of what we do is pretty much automatic now. Good luck!

I'm always cold. I've never been overweight, but when I bulk I tend to run hotter. At maintenance, though, still cold.

Um....congratulations?

Plus, everyone knows that Monday is international bench day.

You really look incredible! I'm glad you found something that works for you! You are definitely rocking it!

Thank you! 10 lbs would be 7% of my body weight. Not sure if that's enough to win, but I also have a beach vacation in November, so added incentive!

I thought I'd always log, but after obsessively logging for 4 years, I decided to fly solo. Maintained for over a year with no issues, and have run some bulk/recomp cycles. I'm on MFP right now because there's a biggest loser challenge at work and I'm super competitive. I don't really have much that I can lose (less than…

I'm another dinner prelogger. I don't want to eat an extra snack and then get stuck at the end of the day with 100 calories for dinner. My breakfasts and lunches are usually about 400 cals and dinners tend to be around 500-600 cals, giving me about 600 cals leftover for my snacks.

Nothing in your body but a crap ton of sugar? No thanks!

Protein shake with coconut milk, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, blueberries, and cherries. Oh, and my kid's HBE yolk. He just wanted the white.

My son (6 yrs old) has had a Trek for the last year and I've noticed a huge difference in how easy it is for him to ride vs. a cheaper bike from Walmart that was given to him as well.

I think this is key. I've had a One, Flex, Charge HR, and now a Blaze. I love Fitbit! I've always worn it on my non-dominant wrist and had it set to dominant just in case. I'd say they've all been fairly accurate this way.

I mostly watched the chicks

I have the exact same issue--about 1" between the bottom of my ribcage (which is pretty wide) and the top of my pelvis. I'm lucky I have a big butt and quads and that heavy weights have helped build up my shoulders to create the illusion of a waist. I've accepted my body for what it is and, although I'm not an hourglass, I…

I wear Merrell Vapor Gloves. I'm a minimalist.

You mean the TMI? LOL

I'm at the box at 5 a.m...I literally wake up, pee, get dressed, brush teeth, and go. I've tried lifting/running/WODing after eating and it makes me sick to my stomach.

I feel too old, but I'm technically a millennial... Age: 34 Occupation: Marketing Manager College (alum/current student): M.A. from CCSU Location: L.A. Fitness Goals: Look like Crossfit Games competitor Exercising: Crossfit, running, rowing, swimming Consistency: Six days a week, Saturdays off Favorite Movie/Book/Whatever:…

I do OCRs competitively, but have never done a TM (it's on my list). For training, I run three times a week (two 3-milers (T and Th) and a long run of up to 10 miles (Su)) and do crossfit four days a week (M, T, Th, F). I have two rest days, one is a total rest day (Sa) and the other is an active rest day of swimming (W).

What's couch to crossfit?

I am endurance athlete turned body builder turned power lifter turned crossfitter. I've never been more happy with my training and my body as I have been since switching to crossfit. I've been at it for six months now and (so far) no one at my box has had any injuries. The coaches are amazing and have a basis in power and…
