I've found I really like tilapia. I usually take 6-8 fillets and put two in foil packets with different flavors. Old Bay Seasoning, butter and garlic, soy and ginger and one with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder and smoked paprika. I grill them until the edges are crispy and they're fairly well done because the texture of…

I've circuit trained fast food places to get everything I wanted. A double Whopper with Cheese from BK, McDonald's fries and a Wendy's Frosty to dip them in with 3 crunchy tacos and a Meximelt from Taco Bell.

I'm not a natural athlete and exercise isn't my favorite thing in the world. I've decided I dislike looking like a tube of toothpaste squeezed in six different places more. Dial your food and just get active - anything is better than the nothing you're doing now. Walking, yoga, a 20 minute video, dancing like a fool in…

I can't eat pasta and salad off the same plate.

Last night, I tossed shrimp with a bit of Lawry's salt and smoked paprika. I used the leftovers this morning in an egg white scramble. I also like tilapia grilled with various flavors - Old Bay Seasoning, soy sauce and ginger, butter with garlic and lemon, etc. I've tried to get behind tuna salad with avocado instead of…

I grew up in the South Bay and have some friends who stayed near the area and managed to find affordable homes (at least to California standards) in San Jose. Most of them work closer to home so they don't trade family time for a hellish commute time. My dad drove from Cupertino to San Francisco for work 30 years ago and…

Dinosaurs. I had a nightmare in the fourth grade I never fully recovered from. Jurassic Park is my 'Nam.

I have better stuff to do with my time than spend it keeping up with human urinal cakes and their ilk.

Looks great, congratulations!

Happy Day 1, ladies!!!!! Weighed in at 145.6 this morning. Would like to get to 141 by the end of the month.

I bought some and barely use it. I don't like it in my protein shakes and I haven't attempted to bake with it yet.

*cues Drake's "Started From the Bottom"* Ew, ignore that counter. Sorry.

My husband LOVES Dave Matthews. I got better *kitten* to do than listen to a 49 minute instrumental on a live album.

Hi there! I'm Megan, age 35. A few months ago I started lifting and love it and have had no issues sticking with working out. My problem in the last few weeks (and throughout any weight loss endeavor) has been food- no willpower and giving up far too easily. I'd love to support and be supported with a 30 day mini-goal,…

Count me in! I haven't had an issue being committed to exercise but my food willpower has been swirling around the drain in the USS Stuff My Face.

Consistency and not feeling like a slave to logging and food. I do very well for weeks on end, then totally backslide because I get burned out on numbers and macros and manipulating meals for it to all work.

Fantastic pics. Thanks for sharing and congratulations.

It sounds like he thought losing weight and getting in shape would fix whatever issues he has going on in his head and that didn't happen. Happiness is an inside job and you can get right with the reflection in the mirror all you want but that doesn't mean the heart and head are in the right place.

You Are Your Own Gym is a great way to find bodyweight exercises. There's an app if you have a smartphone; and also a book and website.

Since I started lifting, I haven't focused so much on my actual weight. I've seen plenty of ladies post progress pics within a few pounds of each other with a completely different body shape. I've only lost a handful of pounds but look very different.

It's photographs that scare the living *kitten* out of me. I'm so used to seeing myself daily (mostly from the chest up and my boob game is tight) so I had fooled myself into thinking I couldn't look THAT bad. It's when I see pictures that I'm shocked at where I carry my extra weight and how heavy it makes me look.

I do it as custom and put in my HRM calorie burn, which is anywhere from 175-200 per session.

Apricots. I grew up in a part of California that had been an apricot orchard and the house I grew up in had several huge trees. Fresh apricots, dried, jelly- I miss that and never appreciated it when I was a kid quite like I would now.

A very happy birthday to you and congratulations on your success.

I had a bad week food-wise myself. While we won't reverse a week or a month or a year of hard work in a few days, it can be easy to feel that way. It's about having your will to move forward and do and be better that has to take over. Remember what your "aha" moment was that sent you on that right track in the first place.…
