Good evening from sunny Dubai my fellow SPers! I hope everyone is having a great Sunday and kicking off the month well. Welcome @naturalle9, @kellyisonamission, @frankfindhomes, @laurelfit57, @Jypsy1, @fierce1alicia, @laurafthul, and @caitlingfry. It's awesome to have so many new folks. So I'm Stew. I'm from the US (born…

Mornin' everybody. I wanted to confirm that today (Mar 27th) should be the last day of the March challenge. I ask as my weigh-in day is Sunday so I should post tomorrow's weigh-in here, correct?

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to all the newcomers - we've got a GREAT team here and are looking forward to even more success with all the new folks! Amazing work last week - coming out on top two weeks in a row was awesome! If you've not checked out this week's challenge - telling your weight loss story - you might pop…

@Jactop Not at all, it never ceases to amaze me how the body can react, especially when it’s getting used to something new. I’ve been IFing for several years now and down to a 3 to 4 hour window for almost a year. One of the folks I listen to quite a bit on the subject of IF is Thomas DeLauer. He practices what he preaches…

Weekly Weigh-in: Dignow96 Weigh In Day: Sunday PW: 277.8lbs CW: 276.2lbs GrandDaddySW:467lbs 2021SW: 303lbs GW: 265lbs Evenin' SPers! Congrats on the green challenge - we are rockin' it! I was shaking things up in the gym this week and lifted a bit more than usual so I adjusted my calorie intake to match. Went a good 20%…

Weekly Weigh-in: Dignow96 Weigh In Day: Sunday PW: 280.0lbs CW: 277.8lbs GrandDaddySW:467lbs 2021SW: 303lbs GW: 265lbs Evenin' all you awesome SPers! So I managed (in my opinion) a very respectable loss this week. I had a couple of indulgent nights in a row as I went to a seafood buffet for dinner Thursday night and Friday…

@apple852hk - Thanks! I can usually keep a sub 13min/mi pace for shorter distances but keeping that average pace over ten miles was an accomplishment. I usually get in 90-120 minutes a day. The gym is 3.32mi away so I walk there and back on lifting days and can keep that to around 40-45mins each way. On off days I’ll do…

Holy Schnikes! That was a GIANORMOUS image - I had no idea it would end up so big. Sorry y'all.

Thanks! The short sprints are much easier (mentally) than pushing thru whole miles at a time. Even back when I was a wrestler or in the military - I've NEVER been a runner, so it is really not my thing. Now walking, I can do that all day long. These days I'm shooting for 200 miles a month which breaks down to a bit over…

Weekly Weigh-in: Dignow96 Weigh In Day: Sunday PW: 288.8lbs CW: 280.0lbs GrandDaddySW:467lbs 2021SW: 303lbs GW: 265lbs Evenin' from sunny Dubai SPers! I hope all is well. I had a pretty strong week this time. My tracking was good daily and my calories were under all week. I've managed to add in a mile running along with my…

@TeresaW1020 - and Happy Birthday!

Afternoon SPers! I've been offline a bit more than usual this week but I'll get back into gear this coming week. I'm really digging the communication and community that's going on here - it makes keeping on track seem like more of a group effort. So I recently had occasion to dress for dinner and fit (barely) into some…

Good afternoon folks! I've been threatening to do a proper introduction for a while now, so here goes. I'm Stewart. Born in Lousiana, raised in the south, high school in GA, undergrad in CO. I grew up in the Army and was in Air Force, so I've lived in 38 states and 14 countries. My undergrad was in engineering, but the…

I was pushing my weigh-in right to the limit as I really wanted to make some good progress this first week. I just got back from putting in my last four miles and hit the scale a good 20…

@bmotisko Welcome to the team! I actually went to school in Colorado Springs a million years ago. Loved the place while I was there. @TeresaW1020 Wow! That’s a heck of an introduction! My weigh-in day is today so I’ll add in a proper intro when I post it up. Home (where momma lives) is Columbus, GA - so we might’ve been…

@bmotisko Welcome to the team! I actually went to school in Colorado Springs a million years ago. Loved the place while I was there.

@TeresaW1020 I’ve been based in the Middle East for almost two decades now - Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, KSA, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, and a couple more - Dubai has been my favorite place to live, so far, and is far and away the most civilized place I’ve lived in the region. Plus, if you like it hot, this place is…

Hi, it depends on the day (walking & lifting vs just walking vs rest day) but the range is 2700 to 2200 depending on activity. I’m usually 300-600 under even that. I’m 47, 6’7”, and 290lbs (as of this AM) so most TDEE calculators will put me between 3000/day on the low end to ridiculous numbers like 4800/day on the high…

Good morning from sunny Dubai y'all! Thank you for the very warm welcome and for your patience with me finally getting a moment to say hello. It's been a busy week over here but I am making good progress for my first week back to the group. I walk daily (averaging just under 7mi/day last week) and lift every other day. My…

I finished my core workout this AM and didn't look like an epileptic fish as I got off the floor when I was done. That was worth a bit of a grin.

A similar thing happened to me (M/45/270lbs/6'7") when I came off a strict keto diet and started strength training in earnest I gained 19lbs within a week but two weeks later it was all gone. Not entirely sure what caused it - I put it all down to the added carbs but once the carb cycling kicked in and got synced up with…

Hi Jill, I'm Stew. Saw the title on your post and had to stop by. I've only been around for a little over a year an a half but have recently reconnected here and started daily meal tracking again. I've lost a decent amount of weight (my profile is a bit, ummm, thorough if you want more info) and we've got a handful of…

When I first started out with MFP and decided to get serious about losing the weight and getting in better shape all I could do was walk. It took weeks before I could get over a mile at a pop but by the end of last year (12 months in) I was up to about 10 miles a day. At first, I was moving like you would through the mall…

Afternoon y'all - well it is for me over here. I've been, ahem, absent for a bit. Moved to a different country, got my girls set up back home, new job, new workout routine - had a few things going on. So day one, version 2.0, and as I'm trying to get back into the swing of things I stumbled upon this little thread. Y'all…

I’ve been keto for a few months now on a 75/20/5 fat/protein/carb split. I’ve been successfully hitting within a gram (+ or -) of my daily protein and carb goals but routinely have to figure out how to get extra fat in every night to round out my macros. I’ve found that I make a lot of ‘bowl’ dinners where I’ll sauté my…

Morning y'all! Well, I've had to readjust my challenge goals. I was hearing a LOT of snap-crackle-pop out of my knees and dealing with some minor aches so I've decided to cut out the jogging. To keep up the intensity on my walks my new goal will be 124 miles in the month with an average pace of under 16 minutes per mile.…
