Might have to look into some of these! :) I've heard of adult coloring books but I'm unsure of where to get them.

I have a really really hard time doing anything once I've made it home. I didn't used to be like that but it's changed drastically this year. I have to workout in the morning and/or at lunch OR I have to go to the gym right after work before going home or I'm not going to do squat.

According to the OP, he's not even taking a lunch so I think they're getting their money's worth.

Also, do you not get a lunch? Working 8-5 (like myself) I either get up at 5am to workout or go to the gym or walk around my plant on my lunch break. AND, if I have time, I do both. Saying you are too busy and not giving a true reason for being too busy (i.e. you have 6 kids and are a stay at home dad) then it's most…

Use a macro calculator online. They're all over the place. Here's one: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ Here's another: http://leangainsguide.com/carb-cycling-calculator/

You say you can't do upper body workouts (which btw that sucks. heal quickly!) but can't you do lower body workouts? Leg workouts are great for higher carb days (squats/deadlifts/leg extensions etc).

I just started mixing it around. I do 2 days keto (under 15 actual carbs) with fat around 60-75 grams, the right after those two days, I do a high carb day and try to use this day for an intense WT session (leg day) at less than 200g actual carbs and low fat (less than 30g). This replenishes the glycogen stores. Then, I…

It's been a week... Give it time.

^^ This is the best thing ever. This is what will get me through this. There will always and can always be an excuse. Don't be an excuse. Thank you!

^^ This too. haha And then I'm also like, heck, I already blew my target so let's raid the kitchen out of pure boredom. ugh

It's not that it's not good for you.. it's just.. eh. In my opinion it doesn't do much for you in terms of calories vs nutrients. It's a starchy carb like potatoes are. They are in the same food category to me (same as carrots/peas). But that is different for everyone.

Following!! I literally just joined Instagram in order to follow you. haha

A plain rice cake (35 cal) with 2tbs of PB2 (45 cal) on top? You're looking at only 100 calories right there.

My fitbit I only have to charge once every 4ish days. You may just need to get a new fitbit. If it's under warranty, I would call them.

I was searching for one of those too. I hope Fitbit comes out with something like that soon. That would be awesome. I just have to switch it up. If I'm swimming, weightlifting or biking/spinning I use a chest strap HRM. If I'm running/walking I just keep my fitbit on.

If you are trying to lose weight, exercise is not necessary at the beginning. Exercise is for fitness. You must change your diet in order to lose weight.

That was perfectly said. You might have the desire to change but you need to have the will to change. To want to better yourself. You can't just think change, you must do.

Being fat isn't hard. it's easy. That's why a lot of the world is obese. What clicked in me this year, I honestly couldn't tell you. I just wanted to finally show how hard I've worked. People always saw me running and working out, but I wasn't getting anywhere with it because I wasn't changing my diet. So vanity got the…

I do the same thing but with sweets. If someone says have a cupcake, I'll take a bite and throw the rest away. That way, I can get my sweet fix and won't be tempted to eat the rest if it's sitting in the fridge.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!! :)

Depending on what you're snacking, whatever you're eating on the weekends could be throwing out your deficit for the week. Log your weekend food and see how many calories you're actually eating. Eating good 5 days and eating like poo 2 days may work at first but not in the long run.

I drink a tbs every night before bed to help me go to the bathroom in the morning. It works wonders. As for weightloss, I doubt it.

OK. What you do is going into recipe builder-->Build it manually-->Enter the ingredient (In this case, your brand of quinoa). Weight out however much you want to make. If you are making 4oz of DRY quinoa then put 4oz of dry quinoa into the recipe. Then, put how many servings it is (i.e. 4 servings). Then, when you make…

^^^^^This is a big one too!!

IMO, Don't link map my run to MFP. Sometimes it overestimates the calorie burn by hundreds. Just add the calorie burn in manually so you don't end up doubling your exercise burn.

You can do it!

I'm pretty similar except it's 25%carbs/35%protein/40%fat. It's whatever you can feel like works for you to stay within your calories and something you can maintain for the rest of your life.

Get it wet like to go swimming? Or, it's ok to accidentally wear it in the shower?

I like your style!
