Yep, although I've managed to skunk cotton too haha. Normally a wash in really hot water with an extra rinse helps, and make sure you're not leaving sweaty clothes wadded up....they need to dry properly.

Are you sure it's coming from you and not your clothes? I've had to toss gym clothes before because they get a stink that you can't get out....bacteria can get trapped in the fibers and they'll smell when you put them back on.

I rung the doorbell, didn't I?

This is what I use. I liked the orange flavor...the blue raspberry? Disgusting. I have a fruit punch I still need to try. Definitely drink it cold!

I doubt form is the cause. There's one treadmill at the gym that I just don't use because the belt slips. I think it just happens over time, and adjusting the belt is just maintenance on the treadmill.

Everyone knows it comes out like chicken fat in your pee.

Running that large of a deficit will also affect your workouts. I can't lift as much if I'm not eating enough. If I can't lift as much, eventually I'll lose muscle. At which point, I definitely can't lift as much, which means I'll lose more muscle. And I'll still be hungry. Why make losing weight harder than it needs to be?
-
One reason is that it's hard to maintain that deficit long term simply because the body gets so hungry. Too large of a deficit is associated with eventual binging/overeating.

Dang, nice lift!

I found a pair of Pearl Izunos on clearance, and they are awesome! I can actually get too warm in these guys which is awesome because I'm always chilled when I run. Very happy with these.

Who was it that wrote the blog about what success really looks like and had "Backwards? Unpossible!". That blog does a great job of helping you manage expectations haha.

That would be better than what you're currently doing. I use Libra on my phone to track my trend line. Just know that the first couple weeks really suck because you don't have enough data to establish a good trend. Once you've weighed in enough, the trend line is a great measure of your overall progress.

Weight loss is NOT linear. You can't draw a nice pretty line and expect your actual weight to fall directly on it. Get rid of the time goal. Make progress, even if it's slow. Win.

Thanks all - I had a feeling it was more about perceived effort than slowing down 15 seconds. It makes sense that the more weight I lose and the fitter I become, the faster I can go without actually trying to.

I have been lifting for almost 2 years, trying to hold a deficit the whole time. My lifts have slowed, but deadlift and squat have not stalled yet. Bench is a fight, but it always has been for me, so I hesitated to say that one has stalled either. OHP...probably at a stall because I hate it and don't really care if it gets…

No gloves.

I have subluxating patellas that shoot out the lateral side, so "inner" quad strength is key for me as well. My surgeon said squat, squat, squat. I squat with a wider stance (more comfortable on my knee, too), and point my toes out a bit more (again, keeps my knee from hurting). I also went from a conventional deadlift to…

Here is my tried and true kale recipe...the only way to enjoy it! 1. Take kale out of produce bag. 2. Don't bother washing it. Unless you eat clean. Then you might want to wash it. 3. Have trash can sitting out for next step. 4. Throw kale in trash. 5. Enjoy other food instead.

Just so you know, these are completely arbitrary. What's the diameter of said pie? And rarely does 1/2 cup = 4 oz.
-
The argument can also be made that very, very few people need to be on 1200 calories anyway. Eating too much simply means they are eating too much for their activity level....it's not a 1200 calorie sentence.

But if we don't suffer, how will we ever feel accomplished with our weight loss????!!

Red Robin is probably one of the easiest places to get a good burger without a load of calories. They offer different bun options, lettuce bun, ect, and you can customize any burger. I don't understand the problem.
-
Why will an 800 calorie burger kill you? What restaurants are you going to that a burger is your only option?

My experience: I ran 5x5 for my first year of lifting. I was running maybe 10 miles/week. It was fine. Then I started running long distance, running half marathons, and doing 20-25 miles/week. Squatting 3x's/week was killing me, and I was starting to have overuse problems. I switched to 5/3/1. It's *supposed* to be run 4…

I don't usually take time off from lifting...the DOMS I get upon returning just aren't worth it haha. However, I haven't run at all in the last week. I'm burned out, and had other things going on. I've enjoyed the time off, and I'm ready to get back to it today. Nothing wrong with taking a break.
