Jumping rope

A good trick is to switch to: a) Weekly photos (the camera never lies), b) measurements (the tape is your friend) and c) and body fat percentage. For me at least the scale is only one indicator of progress. Good luck and keep at it. :)

Its a personal choice, do what works for you. Experiment widely and enjoy the journey.

^^^ This is on point and measurements / photos is exactly what I do. I'd say think 12 months to see real noticeable differences. Of course everyone is different but 1 month is a drop in the ocean. Also dead lifting really helps or anything that works your core will make an impact. Cross fit exercises aren't for everyone…

I can so relate to this, its called lifestyle! Great focus @dakotababy

I think people become uncomfortable with your success. Lets be honest most people fail at weight loss, they never keep it off. So it's easy to think, ahhh he or she will soon give up and go back to no exercise and eating crap. So when you get to year one, year two and they realise its a lifestyle change its becomes…

- Dead lifting 1.5 of my body weight - Squatting 1.6 of my body weight - Pull ups 5 sets of 5

She nailed it big time - awesome

Cooking your own meals, is the best way to drop weight @aettinger448 is on point.

I love the fact you can eat loads and more or less maintain weight as a vegetarian. It works for me

I love the support on this thread. MFP at its best.

, Weight loss is a three year stint. Year 1 - lose the blabber weight; Year 2 - Get somewhere near a number you feel content with; Year 3 - Recomp your body - Yep you've lost weight but your a smaller version of the fat person. So lifting becomes the name of the game. By the beginning of year 4 your in a good place. Most…

This is hilarious, so why does it resonate. I love it all :D

The lady Nailed It... #Awesome One meal at a time << I love this!

This is on point - It's good solid advice

Killed it... An awesome job

Ignoew Ignore them, move on and find others that support and believe in your efforts. There's negativity everywhere, however its down to you if you let that remain in your life / world. Keep doing what your doing, and kick *kitten* all the way lady. :smile:

Ditto start lifting now, you'll never look back. Good luck and I hope you smash it.

I'm a vegetarian and about 70 - 80% vegan normally. Currently in maintenance as I've been on the road for 3 months. I logon daily... but alas no food log.

I've been vegetarian for just over a year.

Yep I'm vegetarian too - Welcome

When I started out I used to look at stuff like this: https://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/vegetables-high-in-protein.php Also look at Tofu, Seitan (Protein: 18 grams per 3-ounce serving ) and Tempeh getvegucated.com is a good source of info. I hope that helps.

Amazeballs - It just goes to show what steady state cardio can do. You look great.

Where do I sign up.... I'm in

I believe taking pictures are very important, it keeps you motivated and your less likely to fall of the wagon. Well done!

Personally jumping rope does it for me!

If your diet is poor, make changes immediately. If you do little or no exercise, change your routine today. The doctors will tell you high blood pressure is a silent killer. And their not wrong. Make changes to your lifestyle now. You'll reap the benefits for years. Good luck.

I'm doing the whole Boulder, CO bit at the mo. I'm not only from out of town, try another country for size. In general I've found people friendly here! Anyone feel free to add.

I'm vegetarian and into my fitness. All feel free to add.
