This is just my opinion (we all know what opinions are like) but... They say optimum weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week. Your net loss is really good. My deficit is usually 600-1000 calories per day excluding weekends where I am lazy. I think you should either eat more or reduce your exercise. It just depends on your results. I…

@ the bar (just arriving) when someone snapped this picture.

My go Meal Planning items are 1. Overnight Oats (with my protein powder). 1/2 Cup of Rolled Oats, 1/2 Cup of Unsweetened Almond Milk, and a 1/2 scoop of Protein Powder (I have Nubreed Myblast French Cinnamon Toast Flavor) (if no protein powder, add a teaspoon of Agave or Honey, and a .25 cup of mixed frozen berries). Leave…

Hi Gents! I am new. I am a Program Manager in IT. I developed my fruit of the loom figure over the years while consulting on the road (eating out / drinking too much). I have been working out regularly for the past 6 years but have yo-yo'ed in my weight. A couple of months ago I reached my heaviest weight and decided to…

I see that your are on the road. I know how hard it can be on the road / preparing meals. One thing to consider is the purchase of Ninja 4-1 (Walmart). I know many truckers use it with slow cooker liners for cooking. This just gives you options. There is a group with a good bunch of recipes on Facebook - Ninja 3 -1…

Crockpot Chicken - I share this where ever I can because it helped me so much. Place boneless chicken in the crock-pot (I prefer Chicken Breast). Season it with pepper, Mrs. Dash or equivalent). Slow cook for 8+ Hours. The chicken has the consistency of rotisserie. I add after the fact Salsa, Cumin, etc.. for a Mexican…

Sounds like you have a plan :) I think meal planning is my strength. I use my slow cooker a lot for chicken (gives it a rotisserie texture). I will then mix it up (once cooked) - add salsa for a Mexican chicken or Chili / Sweet Chili Thai Sauce for an Asian flare. It helps provide variety. Feel free to add me if you want -…

You can do this!! I fall into the same trap (lose weight / gain weight). I was the highest I ever experienced right after Christmas. I knew I had to do something to take control and own it. You have taken the first step by noticing it. I know it is frustrating. The true measure is how we respond. A couple of things to…

It sounds silly but I have to run like a T-Rex (with my palms facing down slightly bent). I find that is the most comfortable and forces my arms to move.

Here is a gent (ObesetoBeast) who I respect / follow on Youtube. He has lost a tremendous amount of weight and motivates me. He talks about plateau. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AudhwV-rSZw I hope this helps.

Awesome! Good luck on your 5K - you got this... :)

Feel free to add me. I am nursing a hamstring issue but will be back soon. I will invite you to a challenge :) www.fitbit.com/user/26BMTD

One thing to consider is the cost of each. I believe you get less steel cut oats vs rolled oats for a similar price. Since there is little difference, I go with rolled oats for my overnight oats recipes. Just my thought.

Any activity tracker is good imho. A few things (I am on my 3rd Fitbit.) - 1. They are sensitive to water and sweat. You will have to clean the charging contacts with alcohol periodically to get a good charge. I now have the Fitbit Flex 2 (you can wear while swimming / lower profile). This is the biggest complaint with…

I am waiting from someone to ask me if I have had lap band surgery :expressionless:

I would be interest in what your overall calorie deficit. If I do nothing, I am to eat 1600 Calories a day. Based on my activity / working out - It is increased to 2900 calories a day. I usually eat about 2000 calories (heavy on proteins / light on carbs to lose water weight). My deficit is 900 calories per day. This means…

Key is a good diet / exercise or activity. Good Diet will mean your engine is running at its max and you are getting the best bang for your effort. Make sure you are eating the right amount of protein's / carbs and within your sugar / salt guidelines. I have friends who only focus on the calories. If you do some exercise /…

Crockpot Chicken Breast - Mexican Chicken (Mrs. Dash Taco Seasoning, Salsa) - Spicy Asian Chicken - Thai Chili Sauce and Sweet Thai Chili Sauce Served with sauteed broccoli or low carb vegetable of choice

Nubreed Myoblast Cinnamon French Toast - I really like it. 3g of carbs (1.7g of sugars)

I make slow cooker Mexican Chicken Boneless Chicken Breast (5 Breasts) 1 Package of Mrs. Dash Taco Seasoning 1 Jar of Salsa (I used Chi Chi's) 1 Can (Drained) of Green Chilies 1 cup of onion 1 cup of bell pepper Slow cooked all day. I served with Brown Rice and / or Veges. It is great

Awesome on the weight loss :smiley:

You look awesome! I weigh myself once a week but I am really more concern about how I look / feel. I am looking to build muscle so the scale may not tell the whole story.

This gent may be able to help you out. He is eating a high caloric diet. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzBXK1ttdd2MS5Qu5Qn4Yzg

Here are my go-to: FitmenCook - https://www.youtube.com/user/fitmencook Fit Couple Cooks - https://www.youtube.com/user/ClassyChefStef Flav City with Bobby Parrish - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnq1w-56tAvMdDup-CL6Vtg There are others I follow to get ideas but not the healthiest :-)

Agree with Kris. If you do a barcode scan - you can see the impact on your macros (Fat / Protein) vs alternatives (Turkey Bacon). I am now looking at calories, then macros to determine my diet and gauge what I eat / drink.
