Heaviest: 235 July Start Weight: 229 July Goal Weight: 226 July progress: -5.6 lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: 175 July 1: 229 July 8: 228.5 July 15: 224.6 July 22: 223.4 July 29: July 31: Good week, I was hoping for a higher loss, but a 1.2lb loss is on par with what my plan was of 1-2lbs per week and is the realistic number.…

Start with simple recipes, I have a honey chicken recipe I make and put over rice that's a go-to. Just find things you like, and then look at a few recipes for them. Keep in mind, you WILL have to adjust your palette as processed foods are packed with sodium and sugar. So eating cleaner will take some adjustment because…

Heaviest: 235 July Start Weight: 229 July Goal Weight: 226 (Goal was established last week with 1-2lbs/wk ave) July progress: -4.4 lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: 175 July 1: 229 July 8: 228.5 July 15: 224.6 July 22: July 29: July 31: Great week for me, I hit my July goal I had planned at the end of June. I'm not going to adjust…

Welcome back. There have been a few large changes that have decimated the community here. Mainly taking away the news feed. A large portion of the active people here have jumped ship to LoseIt or MyNetDiary. Good luck on your journey.

I've always loved veggies, but my favorite has always been cauliflower. Favorite way to prepare it, or really can be done with most veggies: 1 Med head of Cauliflower cut into florets (broccoli works too), add 1/2t. of Onion powder, 1/2t. Garlic Powder, 1/4t. salt and pepper. Drizzle 1-2T. of EVOO then shake to mix up.…

NSV here, I was able to touch my toes while stretching. It was just the right side, but I haven't been able to do that since 2002 or so. Pretty big deal for me. Now I just need to work on the left side.

Like the others said, just start with walking. If you want an angle then just put one on, and adjust until you feel it. I typically put enough on that I get my HR up to where I like for cardio, usually around Zone 3 or so for me. Though I tend to be higher than I should right now as my cardio health isn't super great. My…

Heaviest: 235 July Start Weight: 229 July Goal Weight: 226 (Goal was established last week with 1-2lbs/wk ave) July progress: -.5 lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: 175 July 1: 229 July 8: 228.5 July 15: July 22: July 29: July 31: Not as much as I would have wanted, however it was expected with such a large loss last week. Still…

I log every day. If you go too far off at least you'll know where you stand for the week.

I would say not anymore, and even go as far to say try lose it, a similar app. It has most the same functionality along with the social stuff if that's what you are looking for. I will say that they lock more things behind their premium plan, though that's less expensive than MFP ($20/yr with current promotion), and you…

To each their own as far as I've read. Most things are just opinion pieces of why they think one is better than the other, but in the end choose what works for you. I prefer weekly as I don't care to see the day to day fluctuation. But I will sometimes do a mid-week weigh in, but daily doesn't appeal to me. Obviously there…

I'd say they are both important. Strength training is needed to build muscle which will burn more calories over time, and you need the muscle. However cardio is important as well for your health and is still very good at calorie burn. You really need both for optimal loss/health. I tend to do circuit training with weights…

Maybe in the middle from what I've read. While your body will tend to absorb more within the 30min-2hr mark, its not necessarily critical to get it all there. There are many benefits to re-fueling your body within that window though, and definitely eat/drink something to help your body recover. But there are a lot of good…

If I had to guess it was a purely financial decision.

I do a Lemon chicken and rice dish the kids love, Manicotti/stuffed shells with roast veggies, Honey chicken over rice, Breakfast burritos, Crepes (Fill with whatever you want).

Nothing yet! I do a late breakfast/early lunch since I'm doing the 18:6 IF plan. But today's food will be Lemon chicken with basmati rice.

Welcome back, If you want some accountability friends you can join us in the monthly challenge group. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/146717-ultimate-accountability-challenge-july-2024

You also can only get to it from the "community" page, not from the base MFP side.

Losing can be easy for some people, maintenance is the hard part. We live in a "diet" culture, and there isn't a ton of talk about maintenance. While you're losing the 22lbs you can find your daily calorie goal for maintenance by adding 3500 cal per pound you lost that week to your weekly intake. It'll still be rough, but…

Hey everyone, I'm back at it. I did really well for the large part of last year, but life hit me and I slipped up and gained all of it back (35lbs). So going to try and have a few more places to keep me honest this time around. My overall goal is to be healthier, mainly lower BP, get rid of my acid reflux, and generally…

I can't do that all I get when I go to their page is: [/quote] Its probably on their side as they will need to make sure their privacy settings allow for people to see/interact with them.

I loved the feed, you can however go to your friends page and write on their activity feed. While its a terrible replacement for the news feed that's a way of keeping in touch with those people you've had helping and used for support.

You can write on your feed, and friends/others can post on yours. Though I don't think the link, as in you won't see their posts unless you go to their profile. So to keep up with friends from what I see you have to check on them individually vice just being able to see the updates via news feed.

Eggs, Cottage cheese, Bacon, Ground Turkey/chicken/beef, Peanut butter, there's a bunch. I would also say its good to re-evaluate what you consider breakfast. In a lot of places breakfast is as simple as leftover dinner from the night before, so don't paint yourself into a corner with your food choices because you're…

Great change.... Oh well... stick to groups and forums I guess.

Yeah, basically what previous poster said. There's an Activity feed, however I think its pretty useless as I have seen 0 posts or anything show up on mine. Best bet is to join a group and go from there. I'm setup to start the July Ultimate accountability group, you're welcome to join as well. Just go to "groups" then it…

Click on your user portrait in the top right, then click your username/picture. When you scroll down you will see your activity feed. I don't know what is supposed to show up on it as mine is blank still. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10915268/welcome-to-your-activity-feed#latest

So while I have a job that's pretty good overall, my stress/barriers come from the commute. I'm in the car anywhere from 2-4hr a day at least 3x a week. The longer commute days just kill any motivation I have to workout or really do anything other than get home and relax. I leave for work at/before 5am, and won't get…
