I use Trendweight.com which does an excellent job of averaging your daily weights and gives you a pretty good picture of what your weight is doing overtime. Helps keep the insanity away from the odd scale jumps (high or low). Also, as you lean out, your body become less able to burn fat because it has less to burn. Fat…

I'm new to running and have found 5k races a great motivation to keep running and stay focused. I'm trying to have at least on race a month for the rest of 2013. I do have a couple longer races but speed is my main focus. It's so much fun

Jars are a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

I am a big fan of daily weighing mostly because I would be crushed to weigh myself weekly and see an increase. I charted my weight on a spreadsheet and determined that if I weighed myself weekly, one out of every three weeks would appear like I had a weight gain. It would take me weighing myself monthly before I lost…

Thanks :)

Amazing transformation and dedication to your well-being. Bravo!!

Fantastic job at taking control of your health and improving your vitals by simply being more active and eating better. I think this is so cool especially in a world completely focused on pharmaceutical solutions.

Amazing transformation.

Spectacular transformation. Keep up your hard work because you are doing something special.

When I find myself falling into mindless eating or a craving, I brush my teeth. Something about it makes me think that I am done eating for the day.

Amazing transformation. Keep up your good work.

It is a wonderful NSV. Bravo!!

Wonderful progress. Keep up your hard work and focus.

No excuses. Consistency is what brings results and you cannot make up two days worth of work in one day.

Fantastic progress and something you should be extremely proud about.

My Fitbit is key to my daily calorie goals. I keep my activity level at "sedentary" and let my activity captured through Fitbit increase my food throughout the day. Fitbit isn't a training tool like a HRM and I use both. Took me some time to understand why though but I hate not having my Fitbit with me now and have…

Treadmill is my go-to guarantied run every morning and supports my consistency. Outdoor running is what it is all about though and I savor and enjoy every time I get the chance to do it. 5AM runs are tough though in the cold and/or dark. I am enjoying the long days now and hopefully won't get chased back inside until…

I worked hard to hit my goal weight. And while I am thrilled about my new size, I would like to continue to lower my body fat % and have gone from an aggressive 2 lbs. per week loss goal to a 1.5 lbs. per month loss with an emphasis on feeding my activity and keep my nutrition level high. I never try to eat like an average…

Amazing work. Sucks to bulk up so quickly :))

Fantastic progress and congrats on the first year. Just finished my first too and super excited for year two!

Thanks

Just keep with it and stay consistent. It never feels like you are making progress fast enough and often feels like your sliding more than you are advancing. Success comes from working every day and trying. Be patient with yourself and when you fail, don't let it be a bigger deal than the one mistake. We all make mistake…

Day 365 - Celebrating Being One Year Old Blog Posted on 06/21/2013 by alienrite Today feels much more like my birthday than my real birthday does any more. I didn't have much to do with being born and living another year is what I do for the chance to live the next. Taking a positive step a year ago and deciding to just…
