Maybe should should "sweat" it (ha ha ha get it?) I bet its water weight and will be gone in several days! Just keep doing the next right thing and it will work out

I am with the original poster, I dont understand just 5 chips or just 1 bowl of ice cream. If I am at a picnic and liked a brownie, Id eat 5. Two things have helped 1) Substitution- Frozen treats instead of ice cream- A blender, ice, and fruit (pineapple) is saving me at night against ice cream. Veggie trays are saving me…

I use KBs for 85% of my strength training because I like doing exercises that tie movements together and connect my body. I would seek resources, like You tube and the ones mentioned above, to help get started. Exercises- Man makers - an awesome full body workout. I do 20 to 24 in 3 or 4 sets. I was always taught 5 pushups…

No worries, you are adding a coach, pushing yourself safely and organized. This is great ... Think about this.... Tom Brady is a a pretty good quarterback making millions but he still has a coach. Tiger woods has had a coach his whole life, even at high levels, coaches and motivators are necessary ... get what you can get…

Water and Ice cold seltzer (unflavored). When I am really needing something else I will occasionally have a diet coke or a non alcoholic beer like an O Douls

Happily married father of 4 athletic kids. I enjoy being in good shape for my 40's and running around with my kids. I have lost and gained many times, never worried much about it, however just recently saw that exercise wasnt doing it alone. Someone told me diet was 85%, they're right. I joined MFP end of June as I was…

1) Water, Isopure Protein Powder chocolate, banana, 2 tble spoons of almond butter, 1/2-1cup Kale, ice 2) Water, Isopure Strawberry, banana, Costco frozen mixed berries, raspberry, blackberry, grapes, 1/2-1cup Kale, ice Dessert at night when I have a frozen treat craving 1) Water, Ice pineapple (frozen Costco) 70 cals 2)…

same here, but I understand why that cant guesstimate, to many variables. I just tell myself that I do crossfit to be in great shape, and thats the benefit.

Oh yeah ... tea helps when I am not in the mood for an ice

I used to eat ice cream at night when the kids went to bed. When I would quit sugar I would literally go crazy at night. Here is what worked for me: 1) the best- I have a blendtec blender, I make "ices" with frozen fruit ( cheap by bag at costco). A pineapple freeze is like 50 cals and the ice and water fill me up. Its…

Feel free to add me too. Some days I go over with heavy exercise activity, and the last 3 days I was on vacation, but they have been mostly under 1500:smile:

add sent :-)

simple sugars are bad for me, when I eat them, I need more. Its just better I avoid as much as possible. Again, this is just for me, if someone else is more moderate than I, good for them

ice cream and pizza

good for you, Keep it up

Lots of great suggestions here with real food. I use Protein supplements when I travel or in the office for lunch. Its way cheaper and healthier to lunch then to buy lunch.

I only drink it on occasion, sort of as a treat. I do notice it affects me and I am glad I am not a daily drinker anymore.

Good for you! Nothing wrong with that ... lol great post

Since you have kettlebells, try adding turkish get ups. Look up instructions on "Turkish get ups" with kettlebells and its an awesome addition to swings and can be done with light weights. KB's really tie movements together and help the workout be a combination strength and cardio. The poster who spoke about KB's not being…

Absolutely fantastic, good for you and an inspiration for me to continue!
