I second that!

I had a dream about @Will_Workout_for_food. I think he’s gone now though. He was wearing a cape and scaling walls in a dark alley saving someone. It was a cool dream.

Hey you know what to do, get at it!!!

I needed to lose a hundred pounds five years ago. I struggled and struggled thinking I would never get anywhere. But I never gave up. I would start again each day, and many days failed, but each day I tried to succeed in some way, exercise, food, etc. What kept me going besides obvious family and health concerns, was that…

You’ll do it this time. I believe you will!

Practicing my archery skills all week. Getting ready.

It’s not for me. That’s why I asked how much you were looking for ;)

Fairlife chocolate milk has 12 G protein and 13 g carb per cup. It’s thick, you could cut it with water and it would still be good. Liquid already though, not a mix.

How many carbs can it have? It has to be a mix?

No one “needs” exercise to lose. However, I WANT to exercise because my body looks so differently when I do. I look fitter , feel fitter, can do so much more activity at this weight “ exercising “ than I did at the same weight not exercising. Plus I want to be strong enough to kick someone’s butt if the need arise.

Wooo hoooo!!! What’s the workout of the day?

Thanks. I am determined to keep working on it, I won’t give up. It’s feels okay now, but I felt a riiiiiiiip on the outside of my bicep? On the way down. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Amen Edit to add a Concept2 was THE best decision I’ve made in my life. Best of luck to you and your husband.

I tried to lower myself into my hang. Not so good, pulled a muscle immediately. Soooo, you think I should just work on the straight arms without the lowering for now? When I increase time/ rounds then try again?

I am kicking butt- it’s still a ginormous butt- but it’s looking better! Shirt from high school -20 ish years ago- fits! Major stamina increase during workouts, walking, daily life. I used to be so tired , I’d wake up, take a shower, and then I would have to take a nap. Meal prepped and counted those calories-my biggest…

If I could give this a hundred likes I would. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This happens to me too. The advice I usually get is don’t wait for the vacation to do the hills, find the biggest hill/climb near you and do it as often as you can to keep conditioned. I like the advice above as well.

I set a fitness goal and I have a SCARY ( but respected) friend:trainer to keep me accountable to those goals. Haven’t messed up since starting that.

I’d say if he moved on that quickly, it’s obvious he wasn’t the love of your life or you of his. You didn’t miss out on anything.

@mthwbrwn Wow!!! Thank you for taking the time to reply!! I will definitely give this a try, very excited to work on these!

Thanks ! My life goal is to get ONE pull up, if that can happen anything can. I can do a double straight arm hang for ten seconds. But flexed I drop right down like a sack of potatoes. I’ll work on it.

What if you can’t even do one negative ? For real.

Good clord!

What the freaking heck??!!!!! You are amazing! I so want the girl version of what you have!

Once I ate skittles in the shower. I’m so ashamed.

I have 50 pounds to lose, down 50 ish so far. It’s taken me four years to do that and I’m planning on 2-3 years for the next. There is no rush, I’m taking my time, don’t want calories too low, and want lots of food to fuel my workouts. It not a race. Did you gain it in a year? Why do you have to lose it in a year? Although…

One girl said “ you’re probably going to need surgery to fix your stomach when you’re done losing.” Right, thanks. And honestly I’d do it if she’d pay for it. She’s a big bully, it doesn’t really hurt coming from her.

I work where there is free food all day as well. It is not my food, it is not your food. Bring your own snacks.

Do you know of any recent articles on this? Super interesting to me. I’ll google it anyway, but just wondering if you had a specific one in mind.

Ha! I was just jumping in to say hey , what about rowers?! And what do you know, there it is!
