Sounds just like my situation and what I am working towards. I also suck at logging food while traveling, so I'm going to commit to myself now that I will improve there :)
-
It's definitely more of a cultural bonding-over-drinking type of thing. I am going to try drinking one glass over the course of 3 hours next time lol but I am not very good at that. We also all order together so club soda wouldn't work
-
I try to make it a point to eat salads while on business trips because I know I'm going to be eating a lot of things I would not normally eat. I eat chocolate every day so maybe when I'm traveling I can skip the chocolate to make room for the wine I'll inevitably be drinking. But I love to experience different food while…
-
I know! I always want to go crazy on the sweets while traveling.. or the over indulgent dinner foods
-
This is great, but you did not address "why I'm quitting"
-
I think I got it. Thanks everyone! :p
-
"Serving Size 8 oz, with shell of raw (yield after cooking, shell removed)" I'm a little confused if this means 8 oz before or after cooking because of the yield after cooking part..
-
Ahh I just threw them away! boo.. Wouldn't cooking the shells affect their weight though?
-
They are from the seafood counter and do not come packaged
-
I used to eat back my exercise calories as well. I liked being able to reward my efforts with food, and I was worried that if I didn't have the numbers to strive for, I wouldn't push as hard. Well, that wasn't the case! I did a lot of research ahead of time because I was concerned about not getting the right number to…

My goal by the end of the year is to be at 24% BF (currently at 27%). I also want some bigger weights on that bar :)
-
Go to the one in West LA on Sepulveda.. they are always shorting me -_-
-
I recently started working out 3x a day lol I'd get some strength training in there though..
-
No one gets bullied or judged at my gym! People are focused on themselves, and I think in general, people are pretty understanding of where others are in their weight loss journey. Plus, you'll learn a lot from watching others. Jillian Michaels has good workout videos you can use at home. I really like Burn Fat Boost…

Rest says help build your muscles through recovery :) walking on a rest day,or an active rest day, is good. I'm having one right now!
-
It's not about what foods to eat.. It's about eating a calorie deficit. That is how you lose weight. Exercising helps great a greater deficit. Are you logging your food?
-
Try doing quad stretches on the ground until you have enough flexibility. Give google a quick search to get some ideas
-
I try to spin 3x a week
-
If you are weight training, your muscle will retain water wile recovering which can cause bloating and weight gain. I'm dealing with that right now. The scale has gone up but I *know* it's water retention due to lifting heavier weights
-
Well, I'm sure someone already said this, but the idea is that you eat 20% less than your TDEE, not your TDEE exactly. I switched from eating back my exercise calories to eating 20% less than my TDEE. I was nervous at first when I started, and I spent a lot of time crunching numbers before hand. I averaged how many total…
-
Definitely find another trainer! One who understands and supports your goals. oh, and understands the importance of getting form down before adding heavy weight
-
I was adding in other strength exercises for a while such as bicep curls, side lateral raises, and front lateral raises. However, I have since stopped. People see great results from SL 5x5 without adding more exercises. Apparently, a major part of muscle growth is not over straining the muscles and giving them adequate…
-
You definitely need to rethink how you spread out your calories. I've recently started logging my meals for the next day ahead of time so it's already planned out. I'm the kind of person who really like structure. This helps me meet my macros and know exactly what I am eating. Maybe a structure like this could help you!
-
I'm gonna pig out for a whole day when I reach my goal weight LOL.. Just one day though ;)
-
I recently switch from eating back my exercise calories to TDEE. I found that I should eat 1900 calories, which is what I was averaging when I was eating back my exercise calories anyways. So far, I like it. It's better than zig zagging, and I'm still losing weight I was worried about not using food as a reward for…
-
Then it sounds like you are doing what's right for you :)

I've been a vegan for 3.5 years and for health reasons. I love love love it :)
