  • I like the enthusiasm! Great way to get started. I wont comment on how many meals a day you should eat because that is completely subjective. If you feel like you can go a whole day with only one meal and still hit your intake goals then by all means. Its completely up to you and what your schedule and daily routine allows…
  • Wow great job Alicia and David! Keep crushing it. As for me, my name is Marvin, I'm 26 from northern Canada. October 2016 I was at my heaviest recorded weight of 211 lbs. Yesterday I weighed in at 187. My main reason for making an effort at living a healthier life and getting fit is because I found myself waking up and…
  • When I'm in a relationship yes, single no. And I like to think my demeanor doesn't change regardless so I don't know. It's like women can smell your relationship status or something.
  • What she said ^. Own it man. No sense in avoiding it. It happened, it sucks, so what? Don't dwell. Work hard and commit yourself to the grind again. You'll be alright.
  • Don't give up. *kitten* gets tough but you can do it. I find self evaluation helps. Ask yourself where you went wrong and take steps to not repeat it. Sometimes its that simple, sometimes it not. I'm no expert. Good luck this go around Brittney!
  • Downloaded the app Jan 31st (I think) this year. I didn't start actually using it for a couple of weeks. Finally hitting my stride. Seeing people above posting that they've lost their routine over time makes me more determined not to let that happen. Who knows though. Good luck and good job everyone!
  • All great tips guys. Appreciate the feedback. I'll definitely have to do some type of hybrid food journal over there. Thanks again.
  • Thanks for the tips guys. As I figured it would be pretty hard to accurately log over there. I completely forgot about the notes section too so I'll definitely be putting "guessed" in there a bit. I'm not really worried about the gain/loss while I'm over there either to be honest. Putting on or losing weight isn't really…
  • Solid advice. Give your trainer a high five for me. I've asked trainers before and because they were also bodybuilders had the most ridiculous responses.
  • 5K+?! Jesus I can barely do 5 minutes on a treadmill. :p Anyone who can get thru battles with mental illness are strong peeples which is what it takes to change your body, because half the battle is in thinking the right way.
  • That's great you've got that support, I think it helps too when it's your partner because they can say the things that need to be said behind closed doors. Having a back and forth like that is what helped me get my *kitten* into gear. Hearing things like, 'you're making a bad decision' means more I think because with…
  • My younger brother is a type 1 as well. Diagnosed at 15 which is a little late, ish. He's 23 now and is in great shape. Some things I can tell you from witnessing his struggles on the way to success are: 1. Stay disciplined. None of us can really help keep you accountable with regards to this because most of us will never…
  • In times like yours, sick as a dog and losing the will power to stay the course I'm glad I have people close by to reach out to who will even go out of their way to cook for me. People always talk about having an 'accountability buddy' on here and maybe that's what you need? (At least when you're sick) Not sure that helps…
  • I'm with @genpopadopolous, WHY is always my motivator, I could care less about the numbers on a scale. If that's your motivation that's cool too but I find always being mindful, or reminding yourself of your reasons WHY you're putting yourself thru tough workouts and logging food tediously even when it gets annoying…
