  • Anything from the Maximum Fun network. Here are a few: My Brother, My Brother and Me is a comedy advice podcast Stop Podcasting Yourself is just a comedy chit-chat show Oh No! Ross and Carrie investigates fringe science and religious groups and talk about them Rose Buddies is a comedy The Bachelor/ette recap. I don't watch…
  • @Summer_Tulip Yeah, I'm awful with dates. I just nearly added that to my work email signature when a colleague reminded me about some summer assessments I volunteered to forgive. Whoops. Thanks for the encouragement. @MommaGem2017 Thanks for the encouragement. I have had some recent victories with social eating (gave…
  • This! As a 270 pound lady, running is a challenge but also a constant source of inspiration.
  • I find that nuts are a killer. Even though I know they are healthy and I like them, I just can't keep them around in large quantities because they are too calorie-dense and I will eat all of them! Good luck today. My Vacation Plans I am home most days now because I am a teacher and I don't go back to work until late…
  • Thanks! I admire how you log your diet sodas. I don't do that yet.
  • Hi! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/ohnonotcrystal I am strictly a calorie counter. It's what works for me. I like the idea of a group where no one is going to tell me what I "should" be doing :smile: I eat lots of things, processed, fresh, white, and whole wheat. No big deal right now as long as I'm making my…
  • IDK your fitness level, mine is not great but I do feel motivated and energetic enough that today (my "rest" day) has become a challenge rather than a sanctuary. I have done low-intensity stuff (light yoga, walking the dog, figuring out my form on a new exercise). It's also a good meal prep day if you do that: replacing…
  • Congratulations, I'm excited for you! That is awesome.
  • Trying to stay on some complicated diet is what kept me from staying consistent before. Just do a calorie defecit for now. Before long, believe it or not, you will want to start fine-tuning your diet your own way. For instance, I added more whole wheat and more fresh fruit because I wanted more fiber about 2 weeks in. I…
  • Just my 2 cents: pay attention to signs that people give out. I go into the gym with 2 earbuds in, I try not to make eye contact . . . I don't want to talk to anyone. I'm there to work and have "me" time. The only conversation I am willing to have is "are you done with that machine?" I see other people are open to talking…
  • Any reason to eat potatoes is a good one :smiley: I have been meaning to bake some wedges for a few weeks, and it'll help me meet my potassium goals.
  • Many people have a cheat meal once a week. I think a cheat day once a month would be fine if you're trying to lose weight. The thing about a cheat meal/day is that you have to be on point with your diet the other days! Make sure you are achieving your goals with your diet (losing weight, feeling OK, able to sleep, not…
  • black beans and avocado could be good, and would be some protein.
  • My suggestion is from the KISS school . . . I get hungry every couple hours, so I eat. I plan my meals this way. Breakfast/snack/lunch/snack/snack/dinner. Smaller meals, eating more frequently. I don't do this because some fitness guru says to, I do it because I'm hungry. I keep stuff that fits into my diet and has stuff…
