Does anyone else have times when they workout for months with no weight loss, but then over night you lose all of the weight you should have lost? I’ve been getting stronger and eating healthy but my body composition has barely changed. Then over night I lost nearly 8lbs and a layer of fat.

F the scale! It lies way too much. Looking in the mirror is a much better indicator of fat loss and body composition!

Been lifting a long time just recently noticed that I’m barely sore if at all. I just miss being really sore. And yes, “No Pain, No Gain” is what I’ve revolved my lifting around.

Always cut first for more motivation, then bulk once you achieve your goal

Lifting then cardio is better for muscle gains and fat loss

I exclusively lift. According to MFP, lifting weights does not burn calories

Add me if you want. I use the app daily

If you always do the same routine, then change it up. You need to shock the muscles. At least it works for me whenever I plateau

I avoid the foods I can’t stop eating. If you put popcorn or skittles in front of me I’ll end up eating all of it, all of the time.

Woah, You got a haircut! Nice job on the weight loss

This is a real thing? Isn’t it shuffleboard on ice?

Congrats on the sobriety it makes a huge difference. It also looks like you have the hourglass figure now

Couldn't agree more. I hike the Appalachian mountains every weekend.

Office tip #1 Free food is never free. It taxes the gel out of your body

Yes. I also have dumbbells from 20-35lbs. Cutting out alcohol also helped. When I turned 21 I may have drank way too often.

I am in a similar position as you. In a year I put on 45lbs to go from a fit 190 to 235. In the last 2 months I've lost 25lbs by eating chicken, salads, and running on mondays and hiking Saturday and sundays. Great way to lose weight and be part of nature.

Did you get shorter?

Chicken and salads. Yogurt and oatmeal in the am.

I used to drink a monster/mountain dew daily. I still think they are amazing. I found a way to cut-down on soda by drinking coffee in the morning and having a flavor of ice tea with my lunch. Also chugging water helps

Whatever your Max is plus 1 pound

Cut down on carbs for 3-4 days and pump fluids. You will be surprised how much weight you will cut in a matter of days.
