Deadlifts.

Yep.

A\n anthropology class I took mentioned Jains being vegan. Jainism is quite old. Maybe it's not a very diffused way of eating but it is not a modern phenom for sure.

Nope. Does getting a ticket for speeding prevent the majority of us from not speeding when the cops aren't around? He needs to live on a fixed income every month that's not the exaggerated, unlimited amount he has been used to so far.

Any input or is my story not compelling enough?:happy:

The main key is maintaining a deficit.

What a relief to find a polite, accepting and respectful reply! OP, good on you for finding what helped you. There was nothing in your post that said we should all do as you do. You simply shared what you found to be the best way for you to eat. Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

How exciting! You have a new path to be on and will discover more things about how your body works! Thank you for sharing your initiative. I wish you all the best and may you find success. I think you made a mistake in "arguing" with some of the members on the forum. They are not you. What they have done for themselves…

They are to me but I can't speak for all people.

Actually only you can motivate yourself. Weight loss may not be a priority for you right now. You mention certain conditions that prevent you from staying on track. Perhaps those conditions need to be addressed first so the rest can fall into place? I know that when people encouraged me and motivated me to start losing…

So it's okay for Miley Cyrus to twerk her butt off and be very vulgar on national TV (which even more kids watch) but suddenly we (as in the school) find our morals and ethics because an ordinary woman posed in lingerie on her private site? So messed up.

Again you generalize. What truth? There is more "truth" to what people are replying? Why? Because we won't give you the answers you want? This is a dangerous game because it could mean that you are unwilling to accept us for who we are because we don't conform to what you believe to be "true." It's all relative, you know?

How do you know what all men like? And what is the difference between a man and a "real" man? I don't understand these generalizations. ETA: I think you mean well though:smile:

LOL! So true! Why do some women speak for men like they know everything yet, if a man dares to generalize about a woman....!!!

If you eat at a deficit you *should* lose weight but there are many more variables involved for it to be that simple. Not everyone loses weight just by doing that and sometimes that could encourage people to start eating too little. Not saying your post is doing that. Just adding a little more. :)

It's normal to be late once in a while. I wouldn't worry unless it becomes a pattern.

I have the last 22 to drop and I agree with the person who said you just have to become stricter. Be very accurate with measuring and logging your food.

Set your intake to the following for the next two weeks and focus on your intake accuracy. 1350 calories 100 carbohydrate 55 fat 115 protein I know weigh 142lbs. It's the lowest since starting my weight loss adventure. I did not stick to the macros 100%. Some days I was slightly above and others slightly below. My total…

This is AWESOME! Thanks for posting it.

So glad you said that. Finally someone who moves past the oft parrotted first law.

Plain old Libby's Pumpkn puree! It's an excellent source of fiber. Add some cinnamon, nutmeg and rice or almond milk. Heat it up and eat it. Some may find it too bland but I love it. You can also add it to a green smoothie. There's also bran. Just 3/4 of a cup a day will help you out.

No muscle does not weight more than fat. It just takes up less space than fat. 1 pound of muscle and 1 pound of fat are both.....1 pound.

Yes. My gym is a Crossfit type small gym with WODs and we are all very supportive and encouraging of one another. Lots of friendship all around but total focus on getting the work done.

You look healthier, happier, younger and better. Congratulations on your transformation! Great example for your children :)

You can do running drills or interval training for speed. Best would be to work on running more distance. I think the more you practice the better you get at both.

Olive oil, nuts, nut butters, avocado.

This is a very helpful answer.

Put that money you would spend on cakes and cookies in a jar. At the end of the month buy yourself a non-food treat. takes care of you and helps others take better care of themselves.

What do you eat there? What's a typical day's menu for you?
