Yeah I'm not handwashing workout gear. That's crazy to me that they would manufacture that.

Hey all! I've been on an alcohol reducing pattern for a while now. Last July I had a whole dry month to try it for myself. During my weight loss it became clear that almost all of my workout calories were being used on alcohol. I would often overdo my cardio out of fear of not having enough calories to have the drinks I…

There's a lot of info missing from OP's post that makes it impossible to say, including her age, height and weight, calorie deficit and how she's calculating diary input, and what kind of effort her deliberate exercise is and how she calculates and records that. The only thing to be fairly certain of is there's not really…

I get myself really busy and tighten up on the discipline to reassert the feeling of control.

Aha you made my decision for me!

Absolutely. There is a vast world of difference between eating what you want and knowing what you ate, and not knowing and pretending it wasn't so bad. A week later when you haven't resumed any losses, no need to be confused when you know you actually blew through two weeks worth of your deficit with the extra pizza and…

Where's that ribs recipe?

I don't think I've ever had a see-through pair at all, but my favourite brands you can get at TJ Maxx and Marshall's and whatnot - Balance Collection (which I think is a Marika offshoot) and 90 Degrees by Reflex, of which I have about 8 pairs.

I did P90 way back in the day. It got very samey, two variations of the same two workouts for months.

Depending on how much you are walking you might be more than sedentary, but then you can also separately log your other workouts so you'll gain the extra cals from those.

Frozen chicken gyoza potstickers - better imo than the pork or veg and 200 cals for 7.

Jimmy Dean are from the freezer at home are they not?

I made a really inauthentic chicken tikka masala in my pressure cooker. Someone on my Facebook posted that they were making it and I had all the ingredients and went for it. Super good!

Well I think that's the question isn't it? Who is to say when that magic moment happens when one or the other is invested enough to not want to share? Luckily, honest conversations are free and easy to come by.

Luckily, as calorie bombs go, the roast needn't be a massive one. Choose what to eat off the plate she gives you. Personally I set everything up in the pots and pans with spoons and let people serve themselves, but if that's how she do after cooking for you I'd let her at it and choose off my my own plate what I was going…

This is infuriating. At 3-4 years old, it's not like you're taking yourself to the supermarket and buying Cheetos for yourself.

If you’re going to focus on body fat as your metric to chase you’re going to have to use a proper way to measure, simple as that. She’ll out for the proper scans or figure something else out.

An entire french loaf.

Apple Watch for me.

Can be hard on the joints if you don't have the right surface.

I'm not really into the "grow your booty" or olympic style lifting, I just do goblet squats with a free weight, and right now am doing sets with 20, 25 and 30. My knees are already angry from a few years of skating, and my right hip too, I don't need to aggravate anything.

The line on my weight loss graph was like silly string. Stick with it, overall it comes down if you keep doing the right thing. Everybody's body seems to have a pattern for losing that isn't just a straight angled line. Mine goes same same up a bit down a bit :smile:

It was always a photo caught me by surprise. My confidence has always been quite high, I used to joke that I had body promorphia in that I could always thought I looked better than I actually did.

I ended up taking my jitters to the gym and did a cardio variety hour, but here’s an under 300 cal dinner anyway. Cup of Amy’s soup and a toastie with a bit of chicken and mustard.

Oh I’m at maintenance and just made a questionable decision :'(

I do have a bunch of veggies and could go the soup or stir fry option. If I ever stop vibrating enough to be safe near the open flame.

Leg day here too. Just doing a general circuit of 7 or so moves, squats, walking lunges, kickbacks, press and a few others. I'll also do 20 minutes of core and a bit of cardio.

Laughing Cow cheese dippers, or mozarella and prosciutto rollups. Babybel. Fruit.

I really enjoy drinking, one of my favourite ways to unwind is a beer and playstation. However I hate to go hungry to fit alcohol calories in, and the cals are hard to come by. I also sleep worse, stay up later to finish the bourbon I am drinking or whatever, and don't wake up feeling as ready to go even if I wasn't buzzed…

Squats and lunges of all kinds. Regular and sumo squats, weighted and otherwise, static lunges, bulgarian split squat, walking lunges, side lunges, reverse glute lunges, box steps and jumps, squats with bands, frog jumps, squat jumps. Also calorie deficit to decrease fat and expose those gainz.
