first of all you sound perfect, ha ha, are you eating a nice variety of foods, I would try to get all your minerals and vitamins from food, and if there is a deficiency concern ask your doctor to run some blood work, I doubt it she will even recommend it based on your exercise you seem healthy and strong, to build muscle…

I'm a displaced European so my broccoli is white aka cauliflower, ha ha during the weight loss phase I believe in eating green vegetables with a protein, so chicken and green beans, or salmon and broccoli, or steak and spinach, (no filler carbs like white rice) or you get the idea mix it up

hey it happens, and let's not always blame the husband, ha ha, my wife eats like crap, fact is she's not shoving food down my throat so you are in control of what goes into your mouth I've had Saturday nights where I put on 4 pounds in one day and undo the entire week of progress, here's a graph of my 30 day weight loss to…

it depends, you can weigh yourself every day for a certain amount of time, after an injury when I'm trying to get back to regular weight I may weigh myself every day for a month of two another thing I do is I weigh myself in the morning (ie morning weight) and right before i go to bed usually at the same time like 9 PM to…

I'm the guy here who gives hard love I guess. Stop eating the pizza that is at the top of the worst foods you can eat and we can argue this all day. Stop for at least a month, see if you have the discipline to do it. Stop eating the junk food once a week. Stop for at least one month. Being fit costs. Looking good costs.…

pretty proud of this, but I am posting it to show you that progress is not a straight line but made up of peaks and valleys, so just keep on keeping on

that's awesome so what are you doing in a day like 3,000 ? and how long does that take you, from one swimmer to another

so the other day I'm swimming in the pool like I do every day, and this tall and lanky gentlemen is swimming next to me, and I swear he was built to be a swimmer, great breasts stroke, smooth, fast, well after the swim he runs into me in the locker room and asks me about my water proof clock/timer, then goes, "YOU'RE A…

yes jumping rope is fantastic, learn proper form and you'll work out your forearms as well, so great lower and upper body workout and tone

wish it was that simple, show me a fat Marathon runner, I'll hold.... (jk)

Pizza is the worst and by the worst I mean delicious, ha ha, though I can walk by one and gain 4 pounds, no joke.

202 - Start (October 1st, 2020) 200 - 1 week 194 - 2 weeks 191 - 3 weeks 189 - 4 weeks 186 - 5 weeks (20% body fat) 185 - Goal weight achieved (November 7th, 2020) 186 - 6 weeks (up in weight but finally down to 19% body fat) Days until 1/1/21: 49

Depends, what is your weight loss plan?

this is such an incredibly good point/question that I think is really about making that choice and changing your lifestyle and I think you are tip toeing on the razors edge, I can relate in the sense that I like pizza yet I can gain weight just by walking by it, ha ha I think that the OP needs to make some tough choices,…

first of all no one is looking at you if you are at the gym, not being rude, just don't play that game in your head where you have to impress others, I speak from experience, I have really long arms, I am 6' tall and that's great for swimming or a basketball player but when I do certain free weight exercises you would…

something I am working on right now is finishing chewing what is in my mouth before I shovel another load in my mouth, I can blame many things for my speed eating, raising small kids, the military, etc, but really just chew your food, when you first start consciously chewing your food, you will catch yourself trying to…

Eat Less! then see if you have conflicting goals, are you strength training cause you play football for example or are you just trying to look good, athletes actually carry / try to store fat on purpose, getting abs costs, lots of the models or actors you see don't look like that 12 months out of the year, some will slim…

if your goal is weight loss, never eat because you have to, keep it simple, if it's dinner time and you are not hungry, don't eat, also don't eat before a workout just because your trainer told you to, and don't think daily, daily, daily, think bigger picture, skipping dinner may not jive with some on here, but think about…

it's a grind brother so just keep on grinding

I went through this when running about 5 miles a day 5 to 6 times a week, asked my doctor cause I was sleeping like 4 hours a night when I finally fell asleep, and he said well if you are rested that's all the sleep you need so the last thing you need to do is stress over it, it's a phase, trust me when your body decides…

getting kicked out of the swimming pool cause you've gone over your 1 hour reservations swimming non stop, where as just 6 weeks ago it was swim 10 minutes take a break, swim for another 10...

when in shape I'm no God's gift to women but they sure check out what I got in my shopping cart at the grocery store, ha ha

1 hour on the stationary bike at Level 3 although the competitive guy in me said you can do Level 4 the sane guy in me said but but your right knee is not ready for it yet, and going swimming after work, and it aint summer any more folks

tried to encourage the wife to eat healthy (she's on bed rest due to foot surgery) and she told me: YOU DO YOU

dinner: chicken, steak, or salmon and a GREEN veggie, no (rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, or tortilla) and this is not for ever this is just during the weight loss phase, it's easy to make and it saves you money and I am a six foot tall 185 pound man and find this filling once you get used to it, so it should work for you as…

pretty much a salad with no dressing, ha ha this is my go to meal, I try to eat like this at least once a day, just protein and vegies (I get crap for eating deli meat, because of the sodium but I also get reduced sodium turkey a lot)

as a 48 year old I may not be allowed in this club, but that's ok, since I am almost at the end of the spectrum I just want to wish you well and tell you go hard while you can, meaning exercise as much as possible because the day will come when you can't, I speak from experience, up until 45 years of age I felt like I was…

1 hour stationary bike, once around the living room floor, ha ha, 30 minutes around the park walk whilst (yes I used whilst) waiting on the wife and my offspring to get their haircuts (see you can work a work out in) did I really just say that, and after I type this it's off to the pool for 45 minutes of back and forthies.…

just came across this and chuckled, so wanted to share (tongue and cheek folks, tongue and cheek)
