whole wheat bread with a T of peanut butter and banana slices. Awesome snack a few hours before a workout :)

I try to focus on the feeling I know I will have when I finish it! There is really no feeling like the one you get after a kickass workout!

I will definitely check out the maintenance forum. WHen I say "strict calorie counting", I lost my weight by counting literally everything, at a deficit of 1 pound a week. The weight was just melting off. Additionally, I workout almost every day, pretty intensely. I will admit that once I went into maintenance, I…

Please do not try to lose 2 lbs a week.... Go for losing 1 lb to a half pound a week. It is a much more healthy way to lose weight, especially at your size. And more sustainable in the long run.

You can build some muscle but will eventually plateau. You have to continue adding more and more resistance to your workouts to continue to build muscle. Body weight moves are fantastic for toning though!! Just don't expect to get "swole" :smile:

I also work a desk job 8 hours of the day. It was difficult to find the time to workout at first. But just like anything, you need to find a set time each day and turn it into a habit.

What helps me throughout the day (especially at work) is I spread out everything I brought for lunch. Instead of eating it all at once, i may only eat my sandwich first. Then once I feel hungry again, I will eat the half avocado. Then when I feel hungry again I will eat the grapes, and so on and so on.

I've been craving a giant IHOP breakfast, along with pizza all day. So badly to the point where I'm literally looking up food menus of my favorite local restaurants. Ugh. Thanks TOM. I just want to say thank you guys for creating and posting on this forum. It really helped to talk myself through the cravings and they have…
