  • Well, I work out pretty regularly, at least 3x/week, doing circuit lifting and cardio. Plus I'm on my feet for about 80-90% of my workday. But I think my biggest setback is portion size - always has been, probably always will be. I've always been a really big guy, so if I try to cut back portions, it just backfires when I…
    in Back to veggie diet, trying to keep carbs low. Comment by davidrapp5 October 2014
  • I stopped being a vegetarian because I wasn't losing any weight. In fact, I put more on. My wife had just left, so I wanted to put myself back on the market. I think the only thing that will keep me on it is progress. If my cholesterol or weight (or both) don't get any better, I'll quit. Keto is where your carb intake is…

  • I stick to once a week. Any more than that and it feels like I'm obsessing, which isn't good, either.
    in How often do you record your weight? Comment by davidrapp5 August 2013
  • Oh, man, some of those sound fantastic! I've always got eggs in my fridge, because I love cooking breakfast on Sundays. And I'm starting to get avocados a lot more often, so putting them together just makes sense. I've noticed that some of those Greek yogurts get pretty substantial carbs (15g+), so maybe just once in a…

  • 1.) Heard tons of good things about Paleo...hard to do with my budget. If money were no object, absolutely. 2.) STILL laughing about the murdered plants line.
    in Reconsidering My Vegetarian Diet... Comment by davidrapp5 July 2013
  • If I had to pin it on any one thing, it'd be the fact that I just eat too much. When I became a vegetarian, I also exercised a little more portion control (still eat a lot, though) and went with healthier options - less greasy food, more colorful foods...you get the idea. I understand that I can probably do the same things…
    in Reconsidering My Vegetarian Diet... Comment by davidrapp5 July 2013
  • Obviously, it wasn't just to lose weight. Part of it was to support my wife while she became one, and another part was to challenge myself to see if I could do it. The animal-rights aspect is there, but it's not really governing anything. But now that I've been sticking to it for a year and a half and the wife is going to…

  • Going to pull a page from my time as a coach here... My first goal weight is 270 lbs. (from my current weight at 302) by the end of 2013. When you pick a goal, follow the SMART acronym. A goal should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. For me, 30 lbs lost in 6-7 months is definitely within reach. My…
    in why did you chose your goal weight? Comment by davidrapp5 May 2013
  • I accepted. When I was your age, I started getting into sports a lot more. I don't know if you have any interest in it, but the right sport and team can be a great motivator. As good as an internet forum can be for support, it's got nothing on a partner or teammate right there with you. If that's not your thing, I can at…
