I've got a couple I rotate between, but they all involve some combination of Kashi Go Lean Crunch, Greek yogurt (either Chobani, or Kirkland (Costco) unsweetened plus honey), eggs (fried, hard boiled or omelette), FF milk and whole grain toast? Mix and match as the mood suits.

Recepie? For salad? I throw a bowl on the scale and start adding stuff (weighing and logging each) until I run out of things to add. All depends in what looks good to me that day. Examples include romaine, spinach, iceberg, red onion, white onion, grilled chicken, steak, eggs, hot peppers, bell peppers, sun dried tomatoes,…

From a pure exercise/nutrition point of view, yes probably. But so is the fact that we don't grow our own veggies, tend (and butcher) our own flock, walk to market daily, sweat our *kitten* off in the summer and freeze in the winter. Our body evolves much slower than our society. :-) Having said all that, in moderation…

Sliced long ways into strips, brushed w/olive oil and sprinkled with steak rub (garlic, salt, pepper, etc) and the grilled until done. "done" is a relative term, some don't make it onto the grill when I do it. ;-)

Awesome work! You and your family should be very proud of what you've accomplished.

I'm not a fan of the "cheat day," or even the "cheat meal" concept for two reasons. First, they end up being something that's scheduled, like "every Saturday is my cheat day" so on every Saturday you cheat. Not because you're at a special occasion, or because the mood strikes, but because it's Saturday and that's your…

Actually, you'd likely have been pissed ON! :-)

On reps where I'm doing a fixed number I count up -- might do 10, or maybe we'll do 12, but not going to do 30. :-) On cardio where I'm counting time I count down, and then keep adding. "Only 5 more minutes".... "Damn, that was easy, another 5".... "ok, if I can do 10, I can make it to 15, that's only another 5"... Don't…

Wow, they're cool, thanks for the find!

Fantastic! I finished my first 5K last week (note I said _finished_ not ran, it was more of a walk) but I know the feeling you've got. You're inspiring me to push to jogging a whole mile. Keep up the great work, you should be very proud!

Amazing progress! Keep up the hard work and you'll hit your goal in no time, but certainly celebrate your successes along the way, you're doing great!

Problem? What problem? You were at 1, then 3, the 5, now 8. You'll get to 10, 15 and 30 in no time flat. I think you're having great success, not a problem!

Pro gun. Pro death penalty too. :-)

I use my ft7 in the pool without a problem. But I do get the 00 when the strap is too loose. Just try to tighten it some more. I view it as a NSV every time I have to tighten the strap. :-)

Incredible job. The change is marked. Congrats, no doubt you'll hit your goal.

Don't know, did you account for your exercise when you set your activity level? There are two ways you can do this, you can account for your average exercise in your TDEE calculation, and in that case you do NOT eat back exercise (you've already accounted for it) OR you exclude exercise in the activity level and just…

You may HAVE a fat *kitten* (don't know, not asking for pix :-) but YOU are not a fat *kitten*. That said, request sent.

First, don't go from full-on to dead stop, keep moving, even if it's a very slow walk. But maybe you should start with 10 minutes a day for a week, then 11 for a week, the 12... Won't take long until you doing 30 minutes or more.

Both awesome nsvs you should be proud!

Looking great!. But yes, using your driver's license photo as the "before" is cheating. :-) Keep up the hard work!
