you can pick up old microwaves for cheap. bring in your own and put it under your desk, then you've solved the bigger problem! in parallel, explore meal prepping this works for me.

YEESS !! don't change. your body will make up for the small gap between 9 to 13. It could be worse to surprise your body with something abnormal from what it has been working with causing issues for yourself during the race day. Have fun!

Me too, my wife thinks I shower with my clothes on. I guess my assumption is that you change INTO gym clothes, then after a shower put your work clothes back on. Most people facebook the entire lunch break, so no one will even notice - take advantage of it.

I go when I don't have lunch meetings, why do you need to change your clothes? take a shower and get dressed, then go back to work.

This is awesome!!!! I am on a similar path started at 279, and fluttering around 240 for weeks! keep it up!

posted!! looking for folks to keep motivating each other as well as new ideas. I will make attempts to post clean food options too!

Me too, give me an add!

I have gone from ~35% to 24% this year. I am looking to get to 18% and weigh 225-230. Almost there!

agreed, This is what I used to do also. I actually don't do this anymore. My garmin watch syncs with MFP and therefore adds my calories burned as a deficit. I no longer have to do anything but log my food. (I don't even record my weight anymore either as my scale syncs - if only it could watch what I eat I would be set.)

spend the $25 on a omron electric body fat measurement device. It is not a perfect measurement but will help. I had been getting frustrated after not loosing weight, and after several weeks measuring BF noticed that I was decreasing in a lot of fat, just not weight. Also, good to measure with a tape. Travel over to…

I weigh in every day, and let the scale auto record to MFP and other apps. The daily weigh in is more for a quick status update for trending. Every other week on Friday is the true weigh in with body tape measurements, and body fat measurement. This is the day I monitor and measure progress on. - Feel free to add me!

Yep, me too, every Sunday but only for M-F worth of meals. Saturday is any leftovers and a treat out for dinner which helps stay on the meal plan.

Baked broccoli will change your life! try it with parm cheese on top right out of the oven. After this, you will begin to like a lot more veggies, and use less oil/cheese. It was my gateway veggie.

if all you do is switch out the nuts and add 1-2 ounces more of your meat per meal you would most likely have less total calories and increase your protein macro percentage. But yes, protein drinks are great solutions. make sure you are reading the ingredients to get the right one for your goals. (Ex: if you are cutting…

yes you can. I would definitely leave it in the fridge. Put it in something you can shake though. By the morning you will want to shake it to break up anything that settled.

Make yourself Protein Balls, or your own protein/granola bars. if you make them yourself you know what is in them, they taste great! Rice cake and sliced avacado is fun. But for me to fight these urges and hungry-ness I canned the traditional 'snacking' approach. Eat every three hours, and only eat enough calories to be…

Haha, yes well unfortunately 1: I am male (I will include this information when I post again), and 2: yes there is mostly shark swimming.

I think this is the best advice! thanks guys!

I am in a similar boat, if you are getting into heavier work outs then you should look at other options of measuring progress. I was very demotivated when I had a weigh in and only lost 2 pounds. After I did my body fat measurements I found out (calculated) I had actually lost 5 pounds fat and gained 3 pound muscle since…

I am looking for this too, I meal prep every week and it works for me. But I am always looking for ways (and new recipes) to stay on track.

I meal prep and made a buffalo chicken this week that is awesome! It was made with Frank's and marinated overnight, cooked on the grill. In order to get to 300 calories I weigh the protein and add beans and veg. Common easy chicken spices I also use are; lemon pepper and steak seasoning (and sometimes taco). You can go…

Yes it does have multi sport! There are several options of watches with more/less features. If you want to calculate calorie expense, make sure you have HR or get an HR strap that will sync. Honestly I found that amazon has the best table to compare the vivo models. My vivosmart HR is built for swimming as well, so it…

Nice! I am in a similar boat. I used to run a lot and race triathlons, but - life. I am trying to get back into it as well. 3 mi is a lot if its your first run back! in the beginning go for time spent, not just miles. Also don't forget your protein. If I am continually doing 40 minute workouts I make sure to get some…

Agreed!! The simple summary of the rule does sound silly. The whole premise is to play with your GI. Either way, it was an interesting read. Overall, I agree with other comments, you have to find what works best for you through experimenting.

Agreed, everything is to be taken with a grain of salt! (yes, also white!)

Something you may enjoy reading is 4-Hour Body. It is an easy read and explains the science behind 'the why'. Also there are basic rules on what to eat that are easy to stay with, for example: nothing white!

Beyond the calorie conversation... if you do want to become more comfortable in the water: Kick, kick kick! your legs are the biggest muscles, and getting a kickboard will help you with your comfort level. This will also help you get stronger with treading water and then eventually your roll and stroke. but first try…

Garmin is the best option out there. You can simply wear it, and there are several design options. But it also syncs with MFP for calorie tracking, has great report read outs, and outdoor GPS is excellent with your runs and other activities. I have an older 310XT and a vivosmart HR I wear every day. If you are hardcore…

I am at week 3 and not seeing results!! I am burning about 650 cal each session. Any ideas?

hey all, I'm in the same boat. Week three got derailed by traveling for work, so I'm redoing it. I am completing more and more, and doing better, but still not seeing "awesome" results. I am planning to add some running in too, but then I'm worried I wont be able to finish the work outs because of sooo much leg work. Since…
