I'm 32, turning 33 soon (yuck...), have two young daughters and have been "heavy" for most of my life and so is much of my family. There's definate mental games that need to be played but it can absolutely be done. I went from 350-360 at Dec2018/Jan2019 to 215 as of this morning... it can be done. If you'd like to chat…

Cheers to that. People have been working at this for a long long time and tons of money has been invested in it and yet simply put, there is no miracle answer! You want it... you get it. You just have to do it the old fashioned way. Put in the work....

I have multiple extended family members that have had it and what I will say and leave it at this is simply: Surgery is no solution for bad habits. The habits come back because they were never gone in the first place and it's all in vain. For the vast majority of people healthy and natural is the ticket to paradise in my…

It's funny everyone is still making guesses without really knowing. Technically no, 220/221 at 6'6" is still just outside normal if you are basing purely on BMI. It's 25.42 which is still in the overweight category. Also, noticing muscle loss visually, not data wise, so it's actually possible it's just i'm not used to…

Been a bit since anyone posted any update here. So i'm making progress but still not there from a dead hang. From the top I can lower 2/3 and then recover to the top but still struggling at that 1/3 mark from a dead hang. But I can do a couple reps of lowering and then pulling up from the top. I'm definitely honing in on…

Last year start 75-95 normally, now 50-60 baseline with daily lows in the 40's and cardio heart rate right around 100 tracked on the same Apple Watch the whole time, rarely even on a strenuous run do I get much over 100. This was hand in hand with 100+ weight loss in a year plus exercise.

Thats pretty contradicting to the general consensus that you can't outrun the fork no? The goal is to base your deficit on your baseline lifestyle and eat back in for exercise around 1/2 of exercise calories seemed to be the general consensus from everything i've read. According to sail rabbit my maintenance is 2400-2500…

Right now i'm running 3-4 days a week around 10-13 miles total. Today I will be trying for my first 10k run at <11min mile, my 3.5mile pace is 9:45mile. I'm doing a pretty consistent planking routine as well as various dumbbell work. I finally completed my first dead hang pull up after months of work on that. I actually…

I guess because in my head I've been working this long at it why stop short of the "goal line", but the problem is where is the goal line I guess? I would love to just finish to a fairly lean condition and then do a bulk/cut cycle but after this much drop I don't think I can stomach intentionally adding body fat back on…

For those that like this type of book "Unfuck Yourself" and "Stop Doing That *kitten*" by Gary John Bishop I thought were actually a little better than this personally.

I've got no pride so here i'll lay out what I've learned after about a year of seeing a professional marriage/family counselor. #1 way to make life "happy" is to become happy individually. It's literally that simple. Expectations are the silent killer of relationships. I could talk for days on this topic these days... but…

Don't try to become healthier in only one part of your life, it won't work long term. You have to get your head on right and set your life goals/priorities and the rest will follow.

I dunno, I guess i'm the opposite of the two first responders. I do planking every day. It's a pretty great all around core exercise. A little bit of heart rate, core strength, posture improvement, strength training when add in stuff like walking planks. If I only do one exercise a day its a planking routine of some sort.

I step on the scale twice a day, morning and night but only log Wednesday morning because it's my most stable weight pattern day. I mostly do the "check ins" to notice weekly patterns. I have a pretty solid bell curve where my lowest weight is Wednesday morning and highest is Saturday/Sunday depending on the individual…

Every so often I still binge out. In fact this weekend was one of those weekends. I try to be diligent and honest in my logging is a big key to keeping myself in check. In the grand scheme of things a bad day isn't a complete road detour, just a pothole that gets hit. No worries; however do take the time to process the…

Feel free to add me. I had a large amount to lose in 2019. I dropped around 130lbs in 2019. I'm honing in on end goals now here in 2020 (a couple months to final destination). I'll gladly accept any invite from anyone on a long journey to support the progress!

The nutritional data for a packaged product or available on MFP searches show a "g" weight or "grams". If a serving is 100g and you scale your product to 100g you know you're within 20% (nutritional labels are allowed to have 20% calorie count error, sometimes people have it corrected for this adjustment in MFP other times…

I think it's a good change. I really do get tired of going "oh, that's not that bad. oh wait, nevermind; they think there's 4 servings in a single serving snack bar". Being required to show a total package data count adjacent should do a little bit to curb that.

For me it appears to be because if any inputted exercise outweighs steps logged on the watch that aren't tied to an exercise it removes the walked calories because of MFP or Apple (not sure which?) thinking that the steps were part of the manually or other app inserted calorie burns.

MikePTY has a very useful insight in his response. It's not always direct connection. You can't necessarily always burn off all your calories. But I personally, and even believe there's research to support this, also think that when you are constantly physically active you are less likely to binge, eat unhealthy (because…

Challenge starting weight- 259 10/23- 258.7 10/30- 252.9 - I would assume that has to be some water weight drop because the weekend prior to the 23rd wasn't my greatest showing of self control around margaritas lol, probably realistically closer to 3lbs. My average has been 2-3lbs a week so that would make more sense.…

I lost around 125lbs this year and at one point started seeing some loose skin show up on my mid abdomen. I really buckled down on core work and hydration as well as some collagen supplements and as of now I dont really have a whole lot of it anymore and suspect by the time I hit goal body fat I shouldn't have really any.…

Just pointing out that you're whole narrative basically says .8-1.2g of protein per lb, I'm 6'6" with a goal weight thats still over 200 lbs, other than just using your rule of maxing at 150 .8 would still be more than than 150. At my bottom weight goal at .8 I would still be at 168 which regardless is very hard to hit…
