So are you still on?

Haha, I can send them to you when I'm done with them. :smiley:

Thank you! I have shoes now and today I'll give them a try. I don't plan to run long distances but a few shorter a week. My CrossFit Centre is 3,1 km from my home and I usually walk there and home. Now I plan to run instead. First part of the distance, then 1 and if possible both. I have an injury in my knee so I have to…

I think the HARD part is to be consistent. It is not hard to do this a day or a week. On a good day I'm doing it without thinking. But there are so many situations that are not optimal. Customer meetings, long flight travels, dinner with friends etc. During 75 days there are so many HARD situations where you have to be…

I did 75 Hard like a year ago. I came to day 36 until I stopped. The problem for me was the 1 gallon of water. I always had to visit the WC several times on an hour and that disturbed my days completely and became a real problem. Running out of meetings at work Running into a bush on my 45 min of outdoor activity Waking up…

Today I will buy running shoes so I can join in on this thread for October. :smile:

I have always had a bikini regardless of weight. Is is very uncommon in Sweden to wear a swimsuit unless you are practicing to crawl in a pool, so that would draw more attention on a beach than any overweight in a bikini.

Today I'm going to our ski cabin for the "Autumn Market" in the village. I have packed some Red Wine but I haven't decided if I want to drink yet. I'm mostly thinking that is is unnecessary calories because I want to lose weight and stay in a calorie deficit. At the same time I think it is so cozy to be there and have some…

Yesterday I took my training sweater off and trained in just my training-bra because I felt comfortable in my body. That has not happened before regardless of how warm and sweaty I have been.

I have managed to not drink alcohol for the entire month, survived 3 birthday parties by offering to drive, until yesterday. Very strange! I had this unbelievable hard workout and the CrossFit center, one of those where you are pale white with blue lips at the end. When I got home I was so desperate for a beer. I DEMANDED…

So interesting to read this! I live in Sweden and here we have a government owned store called Systembolaget that has a monopoly of selling alcohol. It is open 10:00 - 18:00 on weekdays and 10-13 on Saturday. The store has an excellent offering with thousands of different beers and wines and there is at least one store in…

Ah, it feels great to have found likeminded. I think more and more people realize that alcohol is actually a poison and that our body is prioritizing it over other functions like building muscle or calories. That sleep suffers and skin quality are affected. It is more normal now to not drink than 10 years ago,

Why do you want to keep track of your steps in MFP anyway? I have a Garmin so it is associated, but I keep track of steps on my Garmin app. If you connect apps you will get a calorie addition to your daily cals and let me assure you - those additions are not benefitial to you! Find the cals where you loose weight even…

@LaniJae So what is your meal plan? Perhaps it is not realistic and that is why? I'll share my own plan with you so you can compare. I'm 176 cm and 86 kg. My goal weight is about 65 kg but the main goal is to find a SUSTAINABLE long term plan to lose weight over time or forever. The calculation to find my daily calories…

Hi there! I'm new to this group but I have really cut out alcohol since August. I have noticed that I drink alcohol like water meaning that I have finished my first glass before others have even sipped theirs. So now I'm aiming for an alcohol free autumn except for weddings, birthday partys etc, but then I volunteer to…

Coffee - black as death with extra caffeine 2 boiled eggs Water

Some suggestions from my own breakfasts - Mix 15 gram vanilla casein with some milk. Use a milk whisker to get that lovely latte-fluff. Pour in strong coffee. - Make oatmeal, add blueberries on top. Mix vanilla casein and water to something that looks like thick milk and pour on top. - Make protein pancakes - Boil eggs and…

Great to read all your advices and congratulations to your weight loss!! I wonder if you during this time used a measuring band to see progress there. Because if you a re training a lot you could maintain the weight but loose in measures because of muscles?

Yesterday I measured myself and I was about 1 cm smaller on all measurements.

Turns out I had got Borrelia, so it was not just a hungover. :(

I'm not saving anything that leads me in the wrong direction. Off with all big clothes as we go. However some clothes is supposed to be oversized and they get to stay a bit longer. Burn all bridges!! B)

That is really a great comment, then you know you have gone through a huge change!! I wonder if your phone recognizes you?

That is a great idea. Please (if you are ok with it) share some of your goals as inspiration? It sounds like a great thing to do!! I just keep staring at the scale.

My logging streak is 30 days. Been member since 2015 but I have been on/off a bit.

I think I will quit drinking for a looong time or at least have a very limited drinking to a few special occasions.

Just WOW WOW WOW!!! You look like your own daughter!

I hope it will keep me motivated! Sometimes I start of like a rocket and then after a month or two I start finding excuses to sit and to quit. And then this dress too will end up in the wardrobe. I have so many clothes, but I hope to get inte to smaller ones and to recycle larger sizes along the way!

I found a really lovely dress from French brand Busnel. It was soooo nice I just had to buy it even tho it is in size EU38M / US6. It was too small when i bought it. Yesterday I tried it and i could get it on me. It did not fit well, it did not look very good BUT IT GOT ON!! I'm sooo motivated to get that dress to fit me…

Eggs are not very high in protein unfortunately. I also struggle to get my 120 grams of daily protein, but I have found some good sources. - Egg whites on bottle - Chicken breast filé - Codd - Shrimps But most important - Casein Casein is a protein powder with a lot of great flavors that can be added to almost anything. It…
