@slimgirljo15 - Thanks. She is starting to feel a bit better. She is drinking apple cider vinegar (acv) and it is helping whatever the issue is. That acv is a game changer for real. It helps with all sorts of stuff.

The high side for my bmi range was how I picked my goal weight. Noticed similar responses. I do not stress about it though but just try to be consistent with what I'm doing.

"I feel like this thread has gotten away from everyone" - @rheddmobile Well said LOL

@Sweets419Journey - I am with you on this rollercoaster of the healthy living. I've lost over 100 lbs as well and I absolutely loathe plateaus. It's hard for me to keep that same excitement when I'm not seeing the usual progress. Now that I am building muscle, I really have to be patient. Injuries double my impatience. If…

As if the spider wasn't scary enough it needs a backdrop of coming out of the wall. The hat only serves to make it look even creepier LOL.

Thanks! You too!! My day is only just beginning though. Afternoon shift at work 😂.

My wife is having some serious abdominal pains. I’ve prayed for her and would like some prayers for her from my praying folks. I’m hoping it’s just severe gas or constipation. We ate off our diets the other day and ever since it’s been giving her some problems. May not be related at all but I’m hoping it’s just food…

Don’t make the mistake of thinking love and respect are the same values.

I’ve learned that it’s best to get a sneaker for your specific foot type. You might have high arches or low arches or a skinny or wide foot. The best running shoes accommodate for different foot types and New Balance does this as well as others. Brooks, Asics, etc. Nike has caught on too I think but it’s more about knowing…

Savannha, GA but in Australia

To be honest I'm not getting enough done in the NEAT area. Hardly any at all. I'm either EAT or Netflix at the moment. Hopefully my move back to Cairns will get me more active.

Motivation? What's that? I hardly ever have "motivation" to put in the work. Discipline is what keeps me going. I have a HIIT workout waiting on me tonight that I am not ready for lol.

Looking to add some guys to keep motivating me to stay fit and to love Jesus Christ. Iron sharpens iron! The real ones know what I'm talking about. (The ladies need not apply. Married man here.)

@axsxmxa All good! There is no tree that is wrong to me. We may disagree on what is truth but we both agree that there is a truth that exists outside of our own selves. That truth is what helps us when our emotions are unstable and life is unpredictable. I’ve been listening to a song called A Little Closer by Group 1 Crew.…

All you have to do is look up all the weightlifting workout that work the muscles you want to grow. For example: Squats Floor thrusts Lunges Deadlifts Leg Press There are others but those will be your staple. Like @FritzPhilemon said. It's all about the weights and getting stronger bigger muscles.

I use a stationary handbike in the gym. Not all gyms have these though and I am not sure how much they cause. It works though and the one I use has water resistance... I'd imagine any upper body workout is fine and also core strengthening workouts. I'm not an expert and unsure what your goals are. If you can walk then walk…

It's Friday so I'm doing better today. Australia time it's almost Saturday actually so I am working the night shift. I will also be having choc peanut butter fat bombs for a treat. My calories will not be in deficit but I'll apply grace and mercy to my belly LOL.

We are have just ordered some of that as well. I'd like to know what I'm in for but if no one responds I'll give my review of it.

Take your food scale with you LOL. Seriously thats the only way.... and that's if you know all the ingredients which is rare. Sometimes I will just guess and overestimate or make sure I eat less the other meals to accommodate the restaurant meal. So many times this happens though.. You go over to someone else's house for…

I honestly stay off the scale for at least a week. And if the scale doesn't tell me what I want to see, I will wait another week while adding in a fast of some kind. If two weeks go by with no change then I'll most likely give the emotional turmoil to God. I probably sound like a broken record in the community by now but I…

I'm gonna be ironic and play "devil's advocate". Your form can shift or change from awesome to poor as you progress in reps or fatigue... Maybe he was genuinely concerned for your health (doubtful). Now I'm not saying he was right because he could have gone about it another way. I think your response is the same though.…

It’s more fun with someone to go along the journey with. Helps keep you accountable as well. Also don’t ever give up. Don’t focus on the failures just make as many good decisions as you can. Each meal and each day. You can do it!!!!!

I agree with everyone that talked about fats. Avocado, nuts, and the good oils. Usually a handful of almonds will send me over lol.

I like the solution about making advertising be honest. Ads just flatly lie. Anyone remember the Heart Foundation "tick" of approval? I think McDonald's Filet-O-Fish got a tick as well. Labels lie and hide sugars or preservatives under numbers. Like I have to shop with a chemistry book and a food cypher. A lil more honesty…

I have lost over 58 kg so far by the grace and mercy of Almighty God in Christ Jesus. Thats about 128 pounds. I say over 58 kg because they scale wouldn't weigh me until I was under 150kg. Not sure how high over 150kg I was though... Trying to put on some muscle though and fill out that stretched skin LOL.

I'm a binge eater so if I have one treat, I'm generally eating ALL THE TREATS. If I have to have sweets, it has to be occasionally unless it's a fake sweet treat like a keto dessert with fake sugars or stevia. Know thyself....

There is always a plethora of people in here willing to give advice and help coach which is so awesome about this community. I know what it's like feeling like you to take two steps forward and three steps backwards. I ballooned to over 150 kilos after leaving the military and some of that I gained while in as well. I…

I'm at work... Surfing through the MFP message board. Gotta get my posts up!!
