My goal is to lose weight but I set the mfp calories to maintenance. Mfp will adjust the daily maintenance calories based on activity. I find it is easier to see how big of a deficit I have. I am trying to lose 5 lbs a month/1.25 lbs per week. It takes approximately a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1 pound; a 17500 calorie…

Sit/stand desk? Desk treadmill? Lunch break walk?

There are lots of ways to make meal prep bowls. Have you given them a try? Example: Warm base: grilled chicken w/ Mexican style seasoning, refried beans, brown rice Cool toppings: chopped lettuce, pico de gallo, chopped bell peppers, avocado, etc

Stir Fry: Brown Rice or brown rice noodles Leftover grilled chicken, shrimp, pork, or beef Frozen mixed veggies (w/water chestnuts and baby corn if you can find them) Teriyaki sauce

Hey everyone! I am 35 years old, 5’2”, and committed to getting my body back. Current fitness goals include getting at least 8,000 steps in daily and 4 weight training workouts in per week. Current diet goals include focusing on macros and keeping a 3500+ calorie deficit per week. Starting weight 12/30 174.5 lbs 1/7/23…

I have a nice full suspension Liv mountain bike but I 50/50 swap the seat out for a cheap extra thick gel cruiser seat. It saves me from being sore. I can take my mountain bike on the street but I can’t take a hybrid bike on the mountain. This probably would depend what kind of trails you are riding though. Maybe they have…

I am interested. Are you following a specific plan? I am shooting to lose 30 lbs over the next 6 months. I am also slowly increasing my workouts and step count too.

I am interested. What are your goals? My goal is to lose 5 lbs a month for the next 6 months; I am shooting for a 30 lb weight loss. I just started working out at the gym 3-4 times a week (again). I am increasing my overall step count too.

This is an awesome idea to set up healthy long term habits!

Hey Ashton, I’m Michelle. I am 34 and live in rural California. Over the last year, I gained 20 pounds and am working at losing weight before (and after) the new year. I subscribe to the eat healthier and move more method. Are you looking to start a challenge/daily check in group?

I haven’t heard of this deficiency. I am curious if the diet you are following is similar to keto.

We do a lot of dishes with leftovers. I add a recipe and calculate all the pre-cooked ingredients. Say the dish has 2400 calories. I weigh the total. Say the weight is 48 oz. I mark the recipe as 48 servings. So each oz or serving, is 50 calories. If I have 7.5 oz of the dish, I enter 7.5 servings. If I have 9 oz of the…

Saturday, I dug on a tree stump for 2.5 hours. Sunday, I dug on a tree stump for 2 hours. We were able to yank it out! Monday, I rode the Downiville Classic trail… 14 miles of mountain biking. I can’t wait to get back to a traditional workout plan but today my body needs to rest. All the physical activity has made it…

@Mikeruns2021donotaddme you are doing great with setting challenging goals and knocking them out!

@shaunarlr83 I love little challenges. 100 reps a day sounds like a fun challenge! With the pushups, I went from barely being able to do them to being able to do 100. In the beginning, I would do as many 1 reps times as many sets as possible over the course of a couple hours. I have only been doing about 50 lately. The…

@shaunarlr83 I get it; it is complicated. I am not the least bit judgy about it.
