You could try buying flavored coffee, and maybe try almond or oat milk for the creamer? I used to be a coffee creamer addict, but now flavored coffee or just a good regular coffee with a tiny bit of sugar(sometimes I’ll use Splenda or something) and unsweetened vanilla almond milk is my go to. It’s NOT as good as the yummy…

For some people cortisol surges in the middle of the night causing them to wake and have difficulty falling back to sleep. It usually happens consistently around the same time every night. This is something I personally was struggling with, and my dr recommended I try to supplement with magnesium (just OTC) about a half…

Whenever I hit a plateau I either do a 24-48hr fast or go to maintenance for 2 weeks(maintenance more often) and it always gets me back on the right track. I’ve lost 45lbs so far (this time around, 12yr a ago I lost a little over 100). I also would like to lose around 30lbs more.

I get mine from Walmart. I use Purely Inspired Brand - decadent chocolate is the best but I drink vanilla occasionally (not nearly as good, so I add PBfit peanut butter powder) It’s plant based and gluten free which I need personally so it’s easy on my stomach.

1.25mi run down for today… very windy and lots of rain/sleet. Little ice pellets hitting my face didn’t feel very nice 🥴
-
Changed my goal to 50miles taking into account winter weather.. got a short 2mi walk in today since roads were clear finally! I’m now at 16/50
-
Weather here is not working in my favor. I’m still at 14/100mi and haven’t run in a few days.. snow, ice, rain, then flooding in my area (and driveway) Instead of feeling discouraged I’m just going to adjust my target to 50miles because I didn’t take into account the weather but of course will be happy if I make more.…

Got 5.5mi done tonight doing laps! Now at 11.25/100 Going to target 6mi early tomorrow before the snow. I’m still going to be behind for the week, but much easier to get back on track for the month.

If I don’t think I’m going to get enough calories I eat something with peanut butter.. or just peanut butter on a spoon, maybe with a banana or something. Depending if you count macros or need to pay attention to fat/carbs that’s a great way to get more calories in.
-
No run yesterday, not off to a great start with my 100mi goal.. it may have been a little ambitious considering weather and how dark it gets early on. Hopefully I can plan ahead better for the remainder of the month and actually check the weather forecast 😅 At 5.75/100 total so far and hopefully to at least get a few miles…

I’m not in my 40s, however I have done the same research recently for myself. I find that I have the best success when my early workouts are fasted and fueled up with an electrolyte drink. I read a few articles about eating 30g protein first thing in the morning and I tried it and just felt sick.. I couldn’t deal with that…

@chris_in_cal yes I do log my food in the diary and it is public

What do your diets look like?? I’m struggling a lot with my diet. I’ve been eating higher protein and splitting my remaining macros between carbs and fat and that worked great with how much lifting I was doing. Then when I started researching diet for endurance/cardio based workouts it says to eat mostly carbs. When I eat…

Good morning! I have a busy day ahead and decided to get up a little early to get a quick 1.25mi jog in doing laps. 5.25/100 done!
-
1 mile slow jog today Total 4/100 done
-
1/1 - completed 2mi at 12”36avg, then a slower pace slow jog/walk for 1 mile at 16”10. I did these just doing laps around my property— it was dark and I live in the middle of nowhere so no street lights. I just go as far as the light reaches— 10 laps is approx 1mi. 3/100mi Tuesdays are typically a long hike day while my…

@eleanorhawkins a friend of ours hosts a “red barn challenge” every year. It’s a chip timed event around the pond and some fields at their farm.. about a 1mi loop. Goal is to do as many laps as possible in 24hrs. I have no idea what my personal target would be, but I see in the previous years some experienced racers have…

Hello! I will be running in a 24hr Ultra in October and my goal for January is to start training. Any marathon or ultra runners here? I can use any advice and tips I can get! This is my first long race and I’ve done many 5 and 10K races in the past. I’m running this year just to finish, not to win. I’ve never been very…

I log mine ahead of time to plan ahead and adjust as needed

Hi there, I use the recommended calories, but I change the macros. I am currently losing 2-3lbs a week consistently by making sure my protein intake is higher than what MFP recommends. My macro Ratio is 30carb/40protein/30fat and I’m eating 1340cals. Also wanted to note I am very active and walk/run daily and lift weights…

My favorite breakfast is cooked oats sweetened with banana, topped with blueberries and strawberries, and again with chia seeds and hemp hearts… gives it a little nutty flavor. I sometimes like to add cinnamon and cardamom and pour a little unsweetened vanilla almond milk on it too! Delicious.
-
Welcome V! I am 10lbs down on my 50lbs journey with MFP. And down 30lbs overall. This is a great community for support! Best of luck!

Welcome back ☺️

I believe in some of this stuff to an extent. I don’t believe that everything can be manifested.. like if I wanted to win the lottery, I can’t just “will it” to be.. that’s not how things work obviously, but you can definitely train your mind to overcome a lot of things. And if you ever looked into the placebo effect that…

Get plenty of sleep 10-15min stretch every morning Yoga.. or try buti yoga!! Skin care routine every night Epsom salt or bubble baths

@Retroguy2000 I’ve lost 26lbs since early August— about 25-30 to go Those videos have a lot of really interesting information! The route that I run is very hilly so I think I will try to walk backwards up the steepest two like the first video suggests.

@ninerbuff I am not new to exercise, I’ve been working out consistently for about 15years, however my weight fluctuates a lot (5 babies.. my youngest is 3). I’ve always eaten very healthy but paying attention to calorie intake again for the past few months. The only really new thing I started was IF. The synovial fluid…
-
I used the bodybuilding.com calculator. It is actually very close to MFP once you “eat back” your exercise calories, however I like to use a specific daily number for meal prepping purposes— just my personal preference. So I set my target according to the tdee number BB gave me. I am better able to stay consistent when I…
