I find I do way better when I am logging my foods- I'm sure you're setting yourself up for success! Feel free to add me if you like- we can keep each other accountable.

YEAH. I'm in. Good idea. Did this workout years ago (didn't get past level 2 though).

Lookin good!!

That sound amazing!!

Seems like the majority of us go back and forth, luv- You did it before, and you'll do it again. I'm right there with you <3

Mini goal is to feel comfy in my elusive summer shorts. They are tight currently, and any muffin top doesn't feel okay to me. Got a few lbs to go and it'll be fine.

This is a great thread! Today I will consume less sugar than yesterday and stretch as yesterday's 2.5 mile run has me sore and tight today. SW: 188 CW: 186 June 30 GW: 173

Two reasons: 16/8 (eat all your food in an 8-hour window) lowers insulin and keeps me from grazing too much. The 72 hour fast is a great reset (see Dr. Jason Fung for the why on that), and I always come out of those fasts feeling fabulous and ready to take good care of my eating habits.

Pistachios. I have a pretty serious pistachio problem :P

Yes, working back from 16/8 to OMAD (easier when I have to write everything down) and doing at least 1 72-hour fast per month.

That is an AWESOME goal! I'm going to buy some leather motorcycle gear in my ideal size <3

Thanks @KHMcG <3 I've been thinking about this for a while!

Been plant-based for the last 12 days (ever since we watched Game Changers) and LOVING IT!!! Down 5lbs (scale was creeping up because I have been medically prohibited from exercising for the last month). I am NOT eating vegan meat replacement/processed foods for the most part. I am eating a huge variety of whole foods-…

Self-kickery doesn't burn calories.... Take a walk and burn those 80 calories off instead. Be gentle on yourself as you would a dear friend.

Same age here. Turning 40 was like a switch- just started gaining... Getting a handle on it now... Add me if you like- glad to motivate each other.

Daily though I only record weekly... I don't mind the fluctuations, but pay attention to historical changes, though getting down to the next middle-digit down does thrill me.

I always gain when I start a new diet/routine. After the first week or so, the scale will start going down. Don't get discouraged, keep going! Clean eating is awesome. Some people get out of a plateau by carb cycling, others by changing their macros (protein vs carbs vs fat), or getting more specific with measurements. I…

I make my own kombucha- curbs appetite, I get probiotics from that, and I leave the pills alone.

make lighter choices, or ask the bar tender to make a fancy-looking non-alcoholic drink for you. OR work it into your macros and enjoy...

JFT I will log everything I eat, and speak positively to my reflection. Gained a little while wearing the very fashionable boot-cast. I will work back into a good routine and avoid injury...

If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got!

I gain weight every time I restart exercising. After a couple of weeks, it drops off dramatically then slowly. How are you safeguarding yourself from burnout?

Go get counselling. It will help with your mindset. Also seek out a nutritionist.

Nope I'm going for transformation. Wanna lose fat and gain/preserve muscle. Not in a big hurry, and I add in my own cardio... only 3 sets per exercise.

Sure!! Add away.

okay it's actually 84 days long, which only gets us to Christmas but close enough, right?!

Many people (including me) tend to puff up for the first week or two, just stay consistent. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Weight loss is like stuffing a pipe. You have to keep pushing more into it, and eventually the result will come out the other side. keep going. your weight will fluctuate up and down (I gain and lose 5lbs every month with my cycle). You just need to look at the long term gains and losses, and that takes time. Keep at it.…

I always wondered if the dog made you burn more or fewer calories...

Yes it does- and while 35 minutes of exercise isn't enough to stay healthy (according to the American Heart Association, we need at least 150 minutes per week), it is enough to get started!
