It's a teamwork thing. We have four kids, I have a career plus two part time gigs. Planning and teamwork. Avoid convenience foods and cafeteria food; make lots of nutritious food and freeze/prepackage it. Consider a gym with child care or kids' swimming lessons so you can take the little one(s). Make working out a family…

This. Thing is, the physical and psychological consequences of that kind of mindset are not going to help long term. He'll weigh in for next year's competition 10 pounds heavier than he was this year.

Great job; you look fantastic and you must feel GREAT!

First of all, good for you for taking care of your mental health. You're doing the right thing; I know firsthand what happens when you leave bipolar untreated. It messed me up for ten years. Seroquel is well known as a weight gaining drug even in low doses. As adjunct therapy to lithium it's even worse. Unfortunately,…

I'm in a small Montana town and the grocery store, my house, and the fast food places are all within two miles of my office. I still choose fast food. Just because it tastes like amazingness. Thursday is my cheat day, the one day a week I don't work out and I let myself go over my calorie allotment. Instead of fast food…

I might modify the statement. Some people aren't built to sprint (yet). Some people aren't built to run marathons (yet). But almost anyone, given a basic knowledge of technique, a proper gait assessment, and balanced nutrition can run. There are a lot of good studies and articles written about running nutrition, most of…

As a healthcare professional I can guarantee two things: 1) most physicians will not automatically diagnose you with obesity because of your BMI. They will look at a lot of other factors, since BMI was never intended to be a standalone measure of health, only a red flag to consider more fully whether a person is healthy or…

I'm a data scientist / professor of health informatics. I'm a a band geek turned songwriter. Die hard Doctor Who, TNG, and Dune fan and devoted Mensa member. Add me! Oh, and I've found that turning exercise into a game is the most helpful thing for me. Accumulation of points, running from zombies, going from race to race,…

Just mayo. For a while it was olive oil, but I'd rather eat it less often and have it taste good. =)

Hey, Ben here from southwest Montana. When I was 30 I found out I was having issues with BP and cholesterol. I've dropped about 20 already and have 20 more to go to get to my goal of 170. I've got lots of excuses (I have four kids, a house, a career, my own business on the side, plus I teach a class at the local…

If you close your office door, spill a few paper clips on the floor a few feet behind the door, then lay down with your feet against the door, you can quickly get up to a hands-and-knees position if someone tries to open the door. It looks like you were just picking up some spilled office supplies. Not that I've EVER done…

Wow, people are pretty rude. I haven't gotten any negative comments, and I get positive ones from people close enough to notice. I've gone from 210 down to 185, then gained/lost/gained/lost and am now at 191. Halfway to my goal of 170.

I sometimes watch Epic Meal Time and it cures my desire to binge eat. YMMV

Sounds like you're not doing low carb (I don't either). I'd say that quick-cook (not instant) oatmeal would be a good option. It takes maybe 4-5 minutes to make and it's all the right things. Add your add-in of choice (raisins, apples, etc). I'd put a glass of milk with it if it were me. What do I eat, though? Usually…

When I started going to the gym I spent a lot of time worrying about what people were thinking, when in reality they weren't thinking about me at all. I never heard anyone make any comments - I was imagining they were but they weren't. I love seeing anyone who goes into the gym with a plan and shows some discipline with a…

31 next week! I'm good being 30something; I'll enjoy it while it's here.

Like everyone else said, this is probably not a good idea. Would you run your car without gasoline for a week? On second thought, try running your car without gas for a week. After pushing it around town for a week you will lose weight. But definitely keep eating food. Do it smartly - maintain a well-proportioned diet,…

I do light weight training as part of my running routine. Monday is a recovery day (long run on Sunday) so I stretch and do strength that day, then I do a full strength routine on Thursday. I focus on light weights, good form, and high reps. Also, I've been seeing your cardio routines showing up in my news feed - looks…

- sex (also, log that in mfp) - bragging on mfp, and every once in a great while on Facebook - race entry fees (I'm getting addicted) - I like stats, so I like to work out how much I'm saving on food bills and then channel that into a vacation or golf fund

Phil, you got this. You're an athlete; you know how to be disciplined. It's just a matter of getting momentum. Have you talked with a nutritionist or a dietitian about it? They can be of great help. Sent you a friend request. - Ben

You look fantastic. Wonderful, wonderful work. So does the photobombing goat, but that's a story for another time.
