Lol...the difficulty from me is not having one cookie and logging it, it's having the whole box.

Approaching 1 year since I started this thread and there have been some ups and downs with my weight, but nothing that tracking actually calories could prevent. It was/is just a matter of overeating. So today I’m at about 165 lbs which is about the same this time last year. So the results are confirmed, I don’t need…

I have made my own diet, did cico for a few months but was always hungry…. I’ve been doing my own diet for about 10 years and it fails sometimes and I gain, but eventually I get back on it! LoL. It has 4 rules and one theme. Eat till I’m full as long as it follows the 4 rules: 1) eating nothing that only walks on dry…

250 more calories is like 10 almonds per day, not much imo. If you are lighter from a month ago your body requires less calories. IMO, adding calories when I’m doing well is a recipe for failure. I would continue what your doing and maintain my current calorie intake. 1.5 lbs per week is a very reasonable goal or result.

Had a Garmin for 1 year and it broke, I really liked it. Took my wife’s Fitbit 3 that she just got a few months ago because she barely uses it and like it more!!

Sure! We all need friends for support…

Yes and agree, home body fat scales aren't to accurate. I have two different types, my newest, is claiming to be as accurate as an office Dexa machine and is made by Inbody which makes commercial bf scales. I'm more focused on trend while maintaining weight. So I'm happy with both my plan and the scale.

Seams like a large work load :) !! I do 16 sets per body part, for example, however I superset the minor opposite muscle to speed up. ie bench press, bicep curls, 1.5 minute rest, repeat…really speeds things up, and gets my heart rate higher.

I absolutely love Publix carrot Cake bar, except I would eat both layers of cake first just to get it "out of the way" and then enjoy the frosting! Told wife I wouldn't eat the whole bar, but it was gone most mornings. Now I just go to Publix and stare at it!!!LOL...

Maybe Sunday's after playing Basketball for 2 hours I discovered 5 guys burgers and fries. Double cheeseburger with bacon, regular fries that is enormous and about 350 calories in ketchup alone. Stop at publix for pint of cookie dough ice cream, but I just played basketball so it was fine...🍔😉

Actually simple!! Eat less. It was a long time ago but in high school I was a Champion wrestler in New Hampshire. We always have to cut weight and yes sometimes it was a lose of muscle, but it was still weight. Make weight, fight, and eat again!! No need for some of the advice here, except what I quoted...

I change almost weekly to suit my pickleball activities. This week for example I'm doing chest/back on Sunday, Thursday and legs/shoulder Monday, Friday. I do typically dumbbell/barbell exercises, super set bench press and then pull ups 4 set, then 3 more different super set exercises for 16 total sets. It's keeping me…

Actually weight in general, lost muscle and fat along the way. In my late 40s decided why do i need to push heavy weight anymore? You have different goals I'm guessing?

I was similar to your stats a few years ago, however not quite as strong ( bench 225, 3-5 reps) and a little fatter. I played basketball for years and football in college, so have been lifting on and off for 30 years. I decided the weight was my enemy, hurt my joints and knees. I still lift 3-4 days a week, play Pickleball…

Just yesterday I got an InBody scale after my Omron scale, also new, stopped working because my body fat% was below its range. I realize these scales have an error. However, I’m already very happy with the InBody, while it was expensive, $349, I like it. The InBody does not use a formula to calculate body fat %, it uses 10…

This method works, however IMO, it’s not sustainable in maintaining. I have lasted about 4 years at best, but was playing very competitive basketball in Miami. In my mid forties my body starting breaking down I couldn’t sustain my activity and level of play, and I gained weight back. This time in my early 50s I’m at…

Like others have said: “there is no end point”. I have reached my goal weight and below several times in my life, 80 lbs being my largest loss only to gain back. Maintaining is more difficult, IMO, and I’m determined not to regain weight this time! Think about a life change and good eating habits that are sustainable and…

Taking pictures has helped me motivate myself beyond my initial expectations. Still use the scale but photos are a slower reward and I look forward to comparing month over month. Keeps me focused longer on goals! GL

Sure, might work for some. However, not something I'm going to do and that's my 2 cents, which it's worth about 2 cents...LOL. I could believe a MMA person cutting weight might be very inclined to use IF.
