  • In my experience you will see progress for about a year with Bodyweight only until you need to add weights. The question at that point is if you want more or not. Just continue until your body tells you it needs more stress for progress.
  • Hi all! I think this might be the thing to get me motivated again. :) About me: I started working out about a year ago when I realized my belly and chest were bobbing up and down when running stairs. I started doing Bodyweight training once a day, but have been slacking the past 2 month. So personal crisis' are hitting me…
  • On the risk of sounding like an *kitten* once again: Disziplin. If you feel like eating once your calories are exhausted... just don't. Eating is nothing that happens to you. If you really feel bad now, work it off again. Calculate the calories of your binging and put in an hour of daily cardio until you are back on track.…
  • First of all stop telling yourself: everybody does it. It is about self control. You control your life. Take control and responsibility. Just do not go overboard or start seriously exercising. Either way make a choice not an excuse! You can do it!
  • I smell a newage marketing scam diet. Why ban gluten, E numbers and coffein serves no purpose in this generalization...
  • 5k is 90% in your Head. Just push through and keep a conservative pace, Walk a minute after every mile
  • ^^ this. I only Drink Sportsdrinks for tons of fast access sugar calories on long runs.

  • Whatever your personal goal body looks like :)
  • Going vegan against high blood pressure Is idiot advice though... Totally unnecessary. You were simply overweight no need to go vegan to fix that. So even though it worked out for you which is great you should think about changing physicians
  • Alcohol has calories like everything. The cals you drink you have to cut somewhere else. Simple as that. When I go out once or twice a week I easily drink 3k cals worth of cocktails and I am still struggling to keep my weight. So yes - it can be easily done
  • This is a slippery slope. It is easy to lose too much like this. It is not so significant for low calorie burns but for long cardio exercises which can easily go up to 1500+ burned this would be fatal.
  • Really guys? This thread feels like affair justification forums xD It just happened. I didn't realize I was sleeping with your wife until after she had my 3rd child. Reality check: Stop excusing each other. If you want something get your *kitten* together and take it. Log EVERYTHING. Nothing just sneaks up on you. And yeah…
  • I have a friend who is pretty much like your parents. I think they perceive our lifestyle as criticism of theirs. Maybe they are even jealous of your dedication? Anyway to defend themselves they lash out. Do not let them get to you!

  • Can you elaborate on your plan? xD I m always up for a challenge though!
  • Do not blame the machine. It is a good tool. If you want you can add me as a friend and I ll help you track the discrepancys in your diary down together. I guess you are either not rigorous enough with your logging or overestimate you cals burned. The latter is a common mistake in my experience. This in turn leads to…
  • I ll refrain from reiterating the deficit argument. I believe that is clear by now. I do not think anyone here is saying you are LYING. But something when wrong. I do not believe you r doing photosynthesis ;) My bet would be that you forgot little things like the sunflower oil for your pan (2spns which really is not much…
  • I didn't follow it all but the answer is actually pretty simple. Everything you did consider in determining your activity level is not counted. Everything else is counted. If you are cheating yourself or for some reason burn less/more then you think you will find out in a week or two
  • Same Problem. Especially on long run days I often end up with 2000cal to spare. I fix it by making a fruit/joghurt smoothy with 50g of peanut butter and toss in 200g of cereals. That's about 1300cal. But I am getting gradually better at adjusting my meals to get close to maintenance. I also found upping goal calories…
  • If I planed to run - I run. No matter what. 21k with hail have the time was the worst experience yet...
  • That Is exactly what i wanted to say
  • My tip: get a 2seat stroller. Get a Bluetooth box. Get a playlist your 4 year old likes. Give your 4year old the box (preferably with buttons to go forward backward) and go jogging with them. Maybe take a half way break at a playground. My 4 1/2 year old asks atleast a 5k run every day by now
  • It essential for me to have strict weighing schedule to see my trends before I lose too much weight. Still I fluctuate about 2pds up and down. Currently I am 4pds down which means slight bulking time again. :) I can only add my voice to those who came before me: find your goal range. Not your goal weight. Especially when I…
  • I do believe 90% of the ppl saying they do HIIT actually do simple circuit. I have done HIIT 1,5 times and I suffered. It is incredibly taxing and does not feel good. If you just aim for results yes it is probably the way but the amount of sheer willpower to push through it might discourage a lot of people from it…
  • If you Do not SERIOUSLY overdo it rest is overrated. When I started with freeletics which at the time was really tough for out of shape past-me I did 3 month Without a single rest day. Just keep the pressure off of overly sore areas for a day and push through the rest. My advice. It will also strengthen your will to…
  • Well we all have an addiction to food... As you said it is hard to resist... For all of us. Just resist - there is no easy way. You go to Burger King with them: they eat burgers - you order a salad. That is just how it works. You do that for 3 month and it starts to get easier and more natural. But believe me... It's never…

  • 1400 cal diet 1h calisthenics a day 30min Jogging a day and u can burn 20lbs in 3 weeks. Should be easy in 60days. I suggest you Do Not try to crash diet it since those might ruin some bloodmarkers which easily get u excluded from drug trials. Fitness and a healthy deficit diet is what I d suggest
