This is not for everyone, but prepping a bunch of the same meal and eating that for a couple meals a day (or more). I pick things I enjoy eating frequently, like taco bowls, stir fry, etc and then have it ready/easy to assemble in the fridge. I have more of a need for something quick (and less decisions I have to make in a…

I missed a couple workouts this week, but I hit my calorie goal consistently and went skiing a couple times, so I stayed active. Off on a girl's trip this weekend, I won't have much control over my food so I'll be focusing on prioritizing protein and minimizing sweets. It is cadbury mini egg season tho and I am seriously…

What a great idea I hadn't thought of that! I've really been wanting a deadlift jack but I'm totally stealing my hubbies car jacks tomorrow 😆

Um... excuse me what? Also 1000% YES one pound a week is pretty much considered *ideal*

I got a few 2lb bags of raw frozen shrimp for about $7/lb. Not mind blowing but I had some recipes for get-togethers I needed them for so I picked up some extras to add some variety to my protein choices.

I've never heard of her, I'll have to check out her channel. It's so nice that there are so many resources available on youtube, etc. I added you!

Yes it's usually much more expensive here as well but a local place had a really good deal on raw frozen shrimp so I got a bunch. Still not as cheap as something like chicken, but a great deal for what it is.

Ok that's kind of what I wasn't sure about as well, maybe if I prepped everything else and then cooked the shrimp fresh each morning...

WOW what incredible hard work you've put in! It looks like your husband even took the journey with you, which is really cool. You have totally changed your kids life for the better ♥️♥️♥️

I sent you a friend request!

My main choice of "formal" exercise is weightlifting, so I definitely want to get my lift numbers back up. I also love to snow ski and kayak and keep my kiddos active and outdoors as much as possible. The better my endurance and strength is, the better our days go overall.

My best weight loss advice is what has worked best for me, YMMV: focus on your full body strength training (deadlifts, squats, upper body work), get at least 150g of protein per day to protect your muscle mass while you're in a calorie deficit. Muscle tissue is metabolically active, so it enhances your metabolism (body…

That's what I'm trying to get back to lol, I guess I should put a recent pic on there but it's motivating to look at every day. I was really strong and fit, and just felt great overall. I've got a decent amount more body fat and even though I've really embraced my body as-is (I ♥️ the way I look naked honestly lmao) I…

Hello! I'm 32, in the US (Idaho). I homeschool my two kiddos, married 13 years. I was also at my "goal body" about 5 years ago before I had my second baby, I felt like I was getting it back (slowly but surely) when I had a major surgery about 2 years later, and I just haven't bounced back. But I feel like my body and mind…

Added you 😊

Great, thank you!

I am 32, looking to lose about 20lbs. Currently on 1500cal/day. Feel free to add me! I am looking for friends to talk about this so I don't bore my husband by talking about food choices and workouts all the time 🙃

I like to write mine down. I've tried the 3-6-9 method but have a hard time sticking with it. Whenever I remember I do it, tho 🙂 I am physically fit. I eat healthy food. I lose weight easily.

I'm looking for accountability friends as well!

I'm trying to lose about 20lbs as well! I would suggest asking your doctor about strength exercises you can do to build up the muscles in your legs and knees that will help protect them from further damage before starting in on more cardio.

I'm new-ish to keto, but loving the benefits so far!

I've been trying out keto - long story, I'm actually doing a Alzheimer's/cognitive decline prevention diet and then figured out that I was in ketosis - anyway I've been doing it for about a month and the #1 positive is how it makes me feel, my body is REALLY happy with fats. I'm not on the bacon and butter bandwagon, I eat…

Lots of water, coffee, and dandelion root tea. If you can sit in a sauna for a couple sessions that may help as well.

I keep my food scale out on the counter to make it easy to quickly weigh my food throughout the day. I have an 8 month old and an almost 5 year old. I generally do intermittent fasting until 11am/noonish, then I have a go-to meal (protein oats) to break my fast. Even though I'm at home, I like to prep a few days worth of…

I'm 5'6" and my happy weight (active, eating sensibly, not restricting) is right between 130-135 - current profile pic is at this weight. I'm 4.5 months pregnant so obviously gaining at the moment, but that's where I started and it will be what I'll shoot for post-baby and then evaluate from there depending on how much…

I usually pick 3 or 4 different meal combos to cook and prep at one time, helps to give me more variety. FitMenCook has some great ideas - this is pretty much the tactic I use http://fitmencook.com/epic-bodybuilding-meal-prep-gran-prep-de-comidas/

The tracking really isn't too different except that you add about 300 calories above your maintenance to start, then you may need to adjust as necessary. It's something you can ask your doctor about too, since It may be slightly different if you're not shooting for the usual gaining 25-35 pounds (and this is assuming that…

I am getting ready for baby #2. Not looking to lose a lot of weight, but I want to be in top form physically so I can continue to be active and strong in my pregnancy. We're hoping to conceive in the next few months then I want to see if I can track throughout the journey.

Yes!

Just interested in the discussion :smile:
