The ones who didn't show up.. There is one guy who became very emotionally heavy for a first date... kept commenting about how fit i looked. He was also texting some girl named rachel all night.

I guess the thing on my mind is completely different than the way this thread has been going recently and trivial in comparison.. still I'm going to share. My drive to be romantically involved with anybody, even if it's just a physical connection, is non-existent. There's only one person that I can see myself wanting to…

These craving may be more psychologically driven. Have you considered seeing a professional about this? Sometimes I binge eat but I normally can stop myself after 1200 to 1500 calories and it happens only when my depression kicks in. Before I decided to get therapy for it I could binge on 10000 calories and still have room…

I personally eat to what my preset goal is and everything extra from exercise is optional. I do try to hit my protein goal as close as possible with those extra calories if I'm going to eat anything extra. Today I had an extra 600 calories so instead of having an extra meal I decided to have a scoop of casein protein and…

As for the exercising I would check out YouTube. There's a ton of exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home or outside if you so choose

I don't eat cereal for that reason. Old fashioned oats even at 1/2 serving is extremely filling. I mix it with a little bit of almond butter a little bit of coconut oil some protein powder and fruit if I'm feeling ambitious. Something like that will fill me for hours where cereal it's like I'm hungry after an hour.…

Is there really such a thing as banking calories? I say indulged and let it be. Once a month won't hurt and if it makes you happy and satisfied then go for it. Don't worry about logging the calories for that day if you really don't want to think about it

You may want to set some goals for yourself so you don't stop being healthy and well after you reach your target weight. You will yoyo yet again if you don't. So what are your goals ultimately that are not scale related? Having those will be your best motivator.

Holy s*** that's a lot of protein. Let it be set to 3000 calories. If you find that you're gaining more than one pound per week then adjust at that time

I didn't do it with that guy but i have lost 14lb within 21 days a few years back. Strict diet (high protein for sure, less than 25g of sugar), vigorous exercise and plenty of sleep did it for me. I was able to keep it off. Ended up losing 37lb in 3 months and kept it off. I restarted my journey but not so much to lower my…

Love it!

Do you have any other goals that you can focus on that are not based on the scale? It will be so much easier for you to stick with it this time if you come up with more non scale victories you want to have. I had to make mine about strength training specifically pull ups. I've never ever been able to do a pull-up without…

My mom used to tell me I'm a slow Walker but it was just because she was in extremely fast Walker so don't let him discourage you.. Asthma and plantars fasciitis is working against you in this circumstance. I honestly think with these particular health issues that you should look for a different exercise source. I found…

So, yesterday? Or youre waiting 6 more days? If youre waiting, id suggest you log what you eat without caring about your caloric intake just to see where youre at so it's easier to adapt to the better choices. At least then you will have a baseline of what amount of carbs proteins and fats you were taking in originally.…

My life did not change besides now having to wear a mask everywhere, which I do out of respect for my fellow (hu)man. I'll miss the lack of traffic on the road from everyone being told to stay home quite honestly.

A boujee pizza from sleezers for my boss

It's neither encouraging or discouraging because that is their journey and I can't compare myself to where they are at their Fitness level. The only thing that anybody should really focus on is where they are and where they want to go. The only thing stopping you from reaching any goal is your mindset Your post made me…

I didn't read any of the comments besides this so if this was already addressed I apologize. honestly all I want to do is move from behind my keyboard to hug you but I know that's not possible. Communication and connection is everything in a relationship. Some things to ask yourself: How have you expressed that this…

Having non scale Victory goals is very important. I remember when I only looked at the scale to measure my progress and I became quickly discourage any time the scale would stay the same or move up. Now that I've set goals that didn't pertain to my weight I find it easier for me to stick with what I'm doing and for it to…

Your body weight multiplied by 11. Recalculate every 2-4 weeks. This has always helped me with fat loss..

Good tip! There's a recipe section in this forum. I feel like this would be better suited there

No; you can create your own. I bought a book with 500 different moves in it. I find where i want to target and pick moves that will target those areas

Eat more. You dont have the energy to workout on 1200 calories per day 5 minutes is something! Just bump up your calories by a 100 or 200 when planning a workout. Eat 60-90 minutes beforehand.

Yes. Took a lot of mental struggle to kick it.

how did you guesstimate your your weight to be 370? Is that what you weighed at the doctor the last time you checked when you started your journey? I'm just curious Considering your org estimated weight you're still down 50 lb which is something to be proud of. Please don't beat yourself up. Your body will respond to how…

Um no. Regular exercise and diet including tea? Sure

Thats a lot of cod.. You didnt give the recipes youve done so um... I wrap mine in foil with coconut oil and lemon pepper and cook at 350 for 10-12 minutes. I eat it with aparagus or broccoli, steamed. I like it with brown rice. Sometimes ill eat it with red skins.

If you weren't active before then you're gaining muscle and or water weight. You're not giving it enough time to actually work. Your calories are closer to maintenance calories though based on your weight so try dropping that a little bit and you might see a difference. Plus you should be logging every single thing that…

Your friend's normal is what she knows. Your normal is what you know. You have adapted to an active lifestyle. If youre questioning whether or not youre an athlete then id say no.

That comment says more about the person who said it then it does about you. We're all on our own Journeys and you should be really proud that you've dropped 16 lb!!! Keep your head high hun I love this pic. I have it on the background of my phone.
