Name: John Reddit: u/jensyth Stats: Male/36 From: Oceanside, CA Getting back in the saddle again. Had success with Keto last year but fell off the bandwagon around Halloween (damn kids and their candy! Delicious, delicious candy) and basically gained back all I'd lost (although muscle mass factors in so not a complete…

Regarding Peanut Butter, I love eating 1-2 tablespoons as a snack. Not only does it help alleviate some of my 'sweet tooth' cravings, but if you check the nutritional info, most peanut butters seem to be surprisingly low in carbs (like 5g net carbs for 2 tablespoons I think) which I imagine 'should' be fine. But then…

Been quiet lately due to illness but hoping to get back to the gym tonight for Wk3D2. I did Wk3D1 on Sunday and didn't have too much of a problem, although the first 3 minute run started giving me a side cramp but that worked itself. Hopefully the last couple days of being out of it won't make tonight's workout (if I go)…

While I am somewhat financially stable, I also wanted to get a handle on our spending and see if we could be putting our money to better use. What I've found to be extremely useful is Quicken which I got for $20 after coupon from Costco! There is also a free online system called Mint.com that I have been told does…

Update and Poll Response: I just completed Week 2 Day 2 yesterday and after my post about Week 2 Day 1, I decided to try increasing my Run speed from 5.0 to 5.5. The first 2 sets were a little rough but I think that was maybe just a 'warm-up' issue cause the remaining sets were not a problem. But, I am also a little torn…

Yep, I have the droid as well and they do have an MFP App. It's a step behind the iphone app unfortunately (so no additional community functionality) but the diet/exercise tracking works great! And it's free so very easy to start using it.

Do you have a smartphone with the MFP app? For the life of me I could not get 'started' on my diet/exercise until a friend showed me the app. Once I had that on my phone, it became so easy (almost OCD-ish) to enter everything I ate anywhere on my phone and that really helped me get the diet part going.

I will agree with the others that say you shouldn't try to go too far outside your normal routine. I know how good it feels to hit your goals, but I would say just make sure you don't go too far to the extreme to hit this mini goal and then burn out (or whatever the diet equivalent would be) and go completely off…

So I just finished Week 2 Day 1 tonight and I have a question for everyone. How 'hard' do you guys run for your 'run' portion? Are you basically going at a speed that leaves you feeling dead after 30 seconds so that you have to really ''want it' to finish the rest of the run portion, or are you running/walking at a speed…

Great idea! I am doing this as well and just finished 'Day 3 Week 1' yesterday. That means I'll be doing Day 1 Week 2 tomorrow. Hopefully this thread will help me keep motivated to not 'give up'. I tried this same program once before and the first 3-4 weeks were fine but I think around week 5 or 6 the jump in running…

Oh wow, I never thought to look for that. Thanks for the info! :bigsmile:

Everything is relative. I am almost that heavy right now, but I'm also 6'2". I have however been as high as 325lbs (~148kg) and as low as 170lbs (~77kg). From my experience, you really just need to find a routine that works, not only for exercise but also eating. Until I got into my 'rythmn', I had to be a bit…

I am not a huge fan of veggies either but I find it's easiest if I make various types of stir-fry with lean chicken. Usually the easier ones to incorporate are zucchini, onion, broccoli, and mushrooms. I also LOVE adding spinach to breakfast omelets. You could also go for cold sliced veggies in sandwiches, like cucumber,…
