So I've been thinking of going vegetarian for a few weeks, not taking the full leap to vegan though ain't nobody taking my eggs from me. I'd just like some tips for what to eat when vegetarian, preferably something not too hard to cook, doesn't need to be super easy though as I do have some experience cooking. Thanks in advance :)
I'm having a hard time keeping motivated to go to the gym. I love working out, but find myself with a lack of motivation after working long shifts. For example I just worked a string ranging from 10-19 hours a day. I just have the hardest time willing myself to go when I have to be up in 5 hours for the Next day of work. Just wanted to see if anyone can relate with this and how they push through it
I gained some weight over the winter and my weight spiked up to 184, which is a 29.0 BMI for my height.
Been exercising at 6x a week. Doing stationary biking and just this week starting back into running. My diet is still the problem. Come from a family with down home southern cooking and I am used to huge portion sizes.
Starting backing into juicing but still have a lot of empty carbs and some take out in my diet.
Anyone have advice for cleaning up diet, and getting used to smaller meals/ portion size?
Hey, so my goal is 2500 currently is that the number I want to hit to steadily loser wait, or is that the number I want to stay under to have weight loss?

Coming from a person who for the first 2 years of lifting did bro splits and skipped legdays like there was no tomorrow I am pretty proud that I managed to move this much weight. Last year I messed up my left inner thigh so I had to avoid squatting for a good 3 months. Before attempting this I warmed up 4x5 with 60kg(135lbs) and did a 1 rep of 90kg(198lbs). Should I make alterations to the form because I felt my lower back kinda weird while going up , but I can't say if it's normal because I never max out.
I started going to the gym almost a year ago and have been lifting 4-5 days a week since. I wanted to lose fat first, so I have been eating at a deficit since I started. I have lost a lot of fat, but have only made very minor muscle gains. I am hoping to start bulking to put on muscle soon. Is it going to be harder to build muscle since I've been training them for so long already?
I was tried of waiting for the mission updates on my Zombies, RUN! application, so yesterday, once again halted by the 'Mission does not unlock until this date' notification I just said screw it, take my money.
I realized that I became really discouraged when I couldn't just go for a walk and enjoy the game. My biggest issue with committing to exercising is I get bored and soon it feels like a chore, and I don't want to do chores. I love using the app because as a huge fan of the zombie hype, I can now actually play my own zombie games IRL. I was even motivated to get out and walk at 7am this morning, something I rarely do as I also really love sleeping.
Also, I got about 1/3 of the way through my hot chocolate this morning from 7-11 before I said screw it, and stopped drinking that. It cost a $1.70, but I feel good about myself having not finished the whole 16oz of delicious chocolateness, because that is also my biggest weakness.
Just got finished watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Y3WDY1tUo
and the guy says that leg extensions are really bad for you. I've been doing them for a while.. Are they actually bad?
I've had a lot of people ask me about my excess skin and motivation, so I figured i'd make a video and share it here. Sorry for being realllllly nervous.
ALSO I'M SUPER SORRY THAT I SHARED THIS ON BOTH /keto and /loseit, but I frequent both so I thought i'd share with both subreddits since people have asked me about my skin and what not. Sorry if I anger anyone!
...keeping my old clothes now that I've lost the excess weight!
I have to admit it's a little scary to not keep the old clothes around "just in case". Not to mention how sad and empty my closet is now!
So, I'm slowly ripping off the band-aid by bagging up anything with an XL or L label and will try to work up the nerve to donate some of the size M stuff as well.
Anyway, let's turn this post into a conversation: tell me about how you feel regarding giving up your "fat" clothes? Are you eager to get your closet cleared out so you can make room for something new? Do you groan to yourself over all the money you spent?
Hi guys, I've been squatting for three weeks now. I watched form videos to minimize injury and noticed everyone squats with the bar behind their head. I tried to emulate them. However, I experienced sharp jabs in my wrists when I bend my hands backwards behind my shoulders to grab the bar. I also experienced heavy shoulder strain in the "wings" of my back.
I followed Lee Hayward's shoulder and wrist stretching tips which has improved my shoulders but my wrists remain painful. This is especially noticeable when I wake up the next day. I've Googled for solutions. The stretching really helps my shoulders but does nothing for the wrists.
ATM I front-squat which is kinder on my wrists and shoulders.
Has anyone experienced similar wrist pain while squatting? Did you find any solutions? Thanks in advance! I'd love to lift in the classic sense.
I've been taking Yohimbine HCL for the last 2 weeks as an end to my cut with great results. Recently I've been wondering if I could drink some water with Mio or Crystal Light in it to give me something sweet during my cardio (I just prefer it to plain water after a while), but I'm worried that it'll create an insulin response and blunt my Yohimbine.
My question today is what actually causes an insulin response in the body and what doesn't? Is it carbs? Calories? Sugar?
I think I finally found the right sub to talk about this in...
I'm 27F that grew up in the south (USA). Over a year ago I moved across the country away from everyone I know except my husband. So I didn't set out to lose weight in particular... I mean aren't we always "trying" to lose weight tho? The point is my eating/social/exercise/everything habits changed.
We eat more organic and more meat free and I walk to work everyday (2 miles) and I try to do yoga for my back when I remember. But no calorie counting or that stuff.
I weighed 250+ when we moved and I've lost 60+ pounds so far.
The point of all this is that I feel like ... I'm not even in my own body anymore. My legs and arms feel like they're gangly and out of control. When I shower and soap my stomach or butt or boobs or shave my legs I feel... "That's not mine... That's not how my body feels"
And I know I should be happy and I kind of am, but I still have this disconnected feeling from my body now. When I try on clothes I look at myself and I'm confused... And it is a good thing because I can make bolder clothing choices that I never would have felt comfortable in (I just bought a 70s jumpsuit).
What I'm looking for is confirmation that I'll someday feel like I'm in my own skin again.
I'm trying to bulk and have had good results with 4 days a week weight training. The volume really works for me.
My routine so far:

Incline Press 3 8 to 12
Pull-ups 3 8 to 12
BOR 3 8 to 12
BB curls 3 8 to 12
Preacher curls 3 8 to 12
Crunches 3 15 to 20
Leg raises 3 15 to 20
B
EXERCISE SETS REPS
SQ 3 8 to 12

Standing calf rises 3 15 to 20
Seated calf raises 3 15 to 20
But now I can only use the gym 2 days a week. But I can run or walk to a outdoor gym that has different bars for dips, pullups ect.
How should I structure my workouts?

what is the difference between regular and no calorie drinks? If you're watching calories, wouldn't non calorie drinks, in a sense be like drinking carbonated water?
Hi all,
just signed up at a gym recently, and they offer a one-on-one boxing lesson with a pro boxer included in membership.
My lesson is coming up and I have never boxed before, nor am I in good shape.
Should I work on my cardio or something before booking this lesson? I haven't really worked out in a couple of years so I feel like I'd embarass myself in front of this guy. I can probably only do like 15 push-ups and 20 sit-ups before aching in pain lol
So should I get in a little better shape first, or should I just go in and learn quick?
I guess I'm a fairly special case (details later) but I am trying to find one or more core exercises which won't cause me lower back pain. I don't have pain day-to-day, it's really only when I do most core exercises. Planks, crunches, pykes, ball rollouts, ab wheel all set it off. I'm pretty sure I'm bracing correctly and keeping my spine neutral (my physio agrees).
My issues are probably rooted in the fact that my left leg is pretty fucked up - I ruined the knee a couple of years ago, and after surgeries and compensations I have an extremely weak hamstring, fairly weak gastroc, IT band issues, and overactive glute and gastroc. None of them are particularly bad day to day, and I have been in physio for them for about 6 months already, but I'm now meant to be strengthening my core and just can't figure out how to do it without causing back pain.
I can do deadbugs but each rep has so little impact that it takes forever to do a set and my time is pretty limited because I have an extensive knee and shoulder rehab routine anyway. I can't do anything which involves getting on your knees (bird-dogs, turkish getups) for the moment because I had my knee scoped a couple of weeks ago, but may be able to in the future.
Are there any killer exercises I'm missed? Anyone had similar problems? Generally if you search for back pain and core exercises it's just people telling you to do core exercises to cure chronic pain, rather than about exercises which cause acute pain.
I don't know what's happened but my right knee has swollen up quite a lot, just to the side of one of me knee caps. It doesn't hurt, but I'm thinking it's a good idea to go to a doctor.
Should I go to the gym today, or should I rest? I don't know if i'm psyching myself out here, but I am little concerned even if it doesn't hurt I could do more damage to my leg without knowing what's wrong. What would you do fittit?
Hi guys,Currently cutting atm.1900 calories with low carbs (sweet potatoes 250g a day/jasmine rice 100g day) rest is protein and veggies (chicken + beef) I'm on the 12th day of this cutting cycle although I did it with cheat meals(usually always overdid it) but now I'm feeling really exhausted even with 8+ hrs sleep,could this be due to me needing a refeed? or a cheat meal? Need expert advice.I'm trying to cut as much weight as I can for the summer.I was 215.6 starting this.Now I am 195.6, Edit 1: I work out 4 times a week with cardio and weights on sunday.monday,wednesday,friday,usually in gym around 2-3 hours,I swap around the days when I can and I do HIIT cardio in swimming on Wednesday and friday,Again I swap it around sometimes too.Trying to get abs for summer.(before june 1st)
I got off work at 8am, so it's dinner time. I have a small meal at 9am or so, then another at 5pm. I stay up all day, then sleep all night. But I have to go back to bed by 1pm tomorrow so I really don't need to eat from 5pm today until "breakfast" at 10pm tomorrow night. So just like that, bam! Fast day. Twice a week that works like a charm.
Working nights definitely has it's disadvantages. Social life, whats that? But for once, it has an upside.
Night dwellers, where you at!?
So I'll just say everything straight up-
I live in a korean household and although its traditional foods may not be so fatty, my dad likes to prepare a LOT of fatty meals using ingredients such as pork belly, pork rinds, and even just oily broths.
I know that everything you eat eventually turns into fat if you don't burn it off. However, I'm wondering- Can you physically look more "flabby" if you consume a lot of unhealthy oils/fats? For example the most I probably consume is pork belly.
By "flabby" i mean that when you jump up and down, you can see your face jiggling due to the fat.

Science journalist Gary Taubes has spent more than a decade on finding a better answer. His book
Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007) became very influential and changed many people’s view on this, including mine.

I am super depressed that my scale went up 2 lbs in 2 days. I know day to day is supposed to go up and down, but 2 lbs! Is that really normal?
Thanks in advance.
I am on an antipsychotic (zyprexa) that has been known to cause weight gain through excessive eating. I get these intense cravings and then can't help myself, i say ill just have a few bites of something and then next thing i know i had "a few bites" of 10 different things.
I'm doing it! I'm doing the thing! I can't believe this is happening. My weight is going down.
I started two months ago, but for the first month, I didn't own a scale. Now I do, and I've been tracking my weight for 30 days. It was so frustrating to see my weight fluctuate like crazy over the month. I think it was mainly due to water retention, given that I started a weight lifting program that is more intense than what my body is used to. My weight trend curve on Libra is all over the place but I'm on the right track. I hope to lose 2 or 3 additional pounds by the end of March.
I don't know if I can trust my scale because it says I have a BF% of 23 and it seems very, very low. My body looks more like a 28-30% BF body.
I am 21F / 5'7'' / SW 156 / CW 151 / GW 130. I do HIIT cardio twice a week, weight training 4 times a week. I bike to go wherever I need to go (on average 30 mn of biking a day, at minimum) and I do self-guided yoga every day to improve my flexibility and balance. Some TDEE calculators give me TDEE as low as 1900/2000, some others go as high as 2600. I concluded that I'm somewhere around 2300 so I eat around 1300/1400 calories a day.
There are things I started noticing as I began to lose weight (slowly, but still):
my skin is dry and itchy. It's crazy how dry it is, it's never been like this before.
I'm cold! I'm so cold! All the fat that dropped probably came from superficial layers close to the skin surface because now I'm cold as hell.
I sleep better. Maybe it's only due to the exercise? I don't know.
I'm fearless in the gym. I was so self-conscious before. Now the weight on the scale is down and the weight on the barbell is up; I bench press like no tomorrow and I stare at people if they make eye-contact when I do weighted glute bridges. I didn't stop myself so far so no one can.
I couldn't have started without you guys. This sub is fantastic, thank you so much fellow losers!
Are there any other people here who are losing weight, but their spouse is not? My husband has gained about 70 pounds since we got married a year ago, and he was already obese. I've lost about 40 pounds since we got married and am in the overweight range now.
His body disgusts me now. It hurts me to say that, because I love him so much, but I can't even look at him without thinking about how gross his body and eating habits are. Has this happened to anyone else? He doesn't care about his weight, I think the chances of him ever losing weight are very small and he will most likely continue to gain. I just think he is lazy now. Has this happened to anyone else? What do you do?
I've been totally eating my emotions over the past few days. On Tuesday, I get on a plane to go back to what was my growing-up town -- and to see mom and the brother and sister. All the memories and neighborhood and family dynamics, both pro and con. Arrgh.
Logging it all ... chain-eating sugar-free Popsicles ... getting up and doing tasks to break up the day ...
20 months doesn't make much of a dent in a life of habits acquired over 50 years, and had this been the "before" me, I would be thousands of calories out of control instead of this better-managed eating. But it's still emotional eating -- eating to soothe, eating to calm,
Breathe.

I don't have access to a kitchen so the temptation to survive on fast food/takeout is high.
So far, I have been trying out different cold ready to go meals from the supermarket like pastas and salads, which have become dull after a while. I am loving having branflakes for breakfast in the mornings but I am struggling with keeping my portions small, since I have been so hungry lately, not sure why. I have also been snacking on tonnes of fruit, but I am looking for meals that will fill me up more so I wouldn't have to eat 2 apples, 5 oranges and a banana a day since that gets quite expensive.
Any tips or recipes for non-cook filling and low calorie meals/snacks?
Edit: I do have access to a microwave, a fridge (and sometimes a toaster), which may make it a little easier to find foods I can prepare
I've been consistently going back to the gym for a couple weeks now after a 6(ish) year hiatus and am absolutely loving it. After the first two weeks, I was sore as all hell and wanted to make sure I'd stick with it before I ordered all the proper supplements but now, after pre-workout supplements, creatine, protein, lots of water and a fairly steady diet, I've been noticing I'm not sore, at all, after a workout. I started off with a beginner workout regiment using the JEFIT app and then increased to a longer "intermediate" workout plan after my soreness went away. I feel the immediate soreness post workout, but next day and so on, I don't feel anything.
Any suggestions/recommendations/comments/ anything regarding this? Should I change something/increase weight/stop overthinking it and realize the supplements are doing their job?
TL:DR - soreness after workout isn't there, should I be concerned?
I use runkeeper(from the megathread) for outdoors distance tracking however it doesn't work indoors when it can't connect to GPS. I was wondering what is a good solution to this in terms of wearable or connected shoe soles etc?
Also if anyone has any tips for a new runner/jogger it would be appreciated. I'm completely new to actually trying to exercise because I've always been underweight. I just want to build up some cardio endurance and then eventually move to gaining some strength.
Thanks in advance for help.
Some articles like this one suggest adding reps before progressing in weight: http://ift.tt/1EIZbTV
Is this a better strategy than holding reps constant and adding smaller weights, even fractional weights each workout?
Thanks

I had reached 317 on my birthday (March 10th) but since it was my birthday I decided to take a day off. I had Chinese buffet and a bunch of cake pops my sister made but other then that I didn't really go insane. Next day (yesterday) I'm up to 320. This morning and I get up and I'm at 323... I just undid weeks worth of work for a single day of good eating? I'm just really bothered.
M,34 SW:393, CW:374, GW: 250 30 consecutive days of logging in MFP
I'm a bit mystified by the protein goals that MFP generates.
The macros screen says that I'm eating 25% of calories in protein (106g) and that my goal should be 20%. The nutrients screen says that my average protein intake is 106g but that my goal is 125g. Both of these numbers are weekly averages.
How can I be over my protein goals on the macro screen and under them on the nutrients screen? I get that CICO is the thing that really governs weight loss, but I'm trying to be healthy about how I do it.
Every Friday afternoon my husband and I have what we call our 'boba date'. I count all my calories thru the week and this is my one cheat treat thru the week. I will have it regardless. I just assume it at about 300 cal to be safe. But I'm curious if anyone actually knows what it could be. I've looked around online and couldn't find much and the shop itself doesn't have any nutrition info posted.
It's 16oz. jasmine tea, fruit flavoring (syrup or powder, I'm not sure), and popping boba (not the chewy/gummy ones). I found that strawberry popping boba is 35 cal/oz.
So, am I over or under estimating or what? I don't think it could be all that bad, but I don't know how many calories in the fruit flavoring or how much they use of that and the boba. I'm terrible at estimating :/
Thanks!
I am considering making an insanity and c25k hybrid calendar. Do you think that would work? I would be limiting it to one workout per day and alternate between the two with 1-2 rest days per week. Also, since it's getting nicer out I would also probably build in days that I'd go on a hike.
I'm 17M, 5'8, and currently 148.0lbs.
I have been cutting for 11 days with the goal of reaching visible abs after a fail 2-week bulk where I gained too much fat and went overboard.
I've been eating at 1800cals/day, with 130-150g protein/180g carb/40-50g fat.
Here are my last 11 weigh ins since the start of my cut, all taken every morning at the same time:
152.4
151.8
150
150
149.6
149.8
149.8
149.6
149.4
149.4
149.4
148.0(today)
This morning's weigh in surprised me and came out of nowhere even though I've been keeping everything consistent. This means I lost 4.2lbs in less than two weeks-- I heard the rule of thumb is 0.5-1lb/week loss to preserve as much muscle as possible.
Do you guys think I should up my calorie intake for a bit or what?
For reference, before I started this cut I attempted to bulk for two weeks eating 2500 calories and I gained 5 lbs which resulted in too much fat gain.
I hate running unless it's outside, so I usually run to a park about 1.5 miles from my house. I do things like squats and lunges in the park (perfectly accepted here) but what else could I add?
If I remove all the plates from the bar on one side, how much weight still needs to be on the other side before the bar tips over and causes a scene?
I went for a run yesterday and two people honked and gave me the thumbs up, guess that's the new way of treating fat people running (I like it). Back in 2002 I recall walking to work and one of the older girls in my high school drove by screaming "you're fucking disgusting!". That's my whole childhood in a nutshell. I think culturally we are in a better place, now. Maybe we've matured.
I weighed myself after I got home and I cried a little. I hit 226.5 on the scale, something I haven't seen since maybe 8th or 9th grade. I just couldn't believe it. I'm the same weight this morning, no change. I'm afraid to track it or change my flair because it doesn't actually feel real to me. Like...if that's what I weigh tomorrow, I might beleive it's true. And I might cry a little again.
Hey there.
I was just wondering what a 450pounder should be doing @ the gym. I am leaning towards cardio. But I have a bum knee from toen acl a while back so I wanted to start "slow".
Currently my plan is to hit the treadmill at 3mph for 60m.
I can generally only get out 3 maybe 4max a week. More like 3max. Definitely Saturday and Sunday though.
Anyways. If anyone has experience with losing a bit and has kind a general " plan" that would be tight.
Motivation is an important thing when losing weight, so I thought we'd share how we motivate ourselves and hopefully help each other find ways to further motivate ourselves.
Personally, I look at all the clothes I'll be able to wear when I've lost my weight. I browse sites and pick out things, and if I really like something I bookmark it for later and tell myself that I'll get it when I've lost the fat. It works out really well for me, it motivates the hell out of me.
A lot of the SS links in the SS FAQ in the wiki lead to a "wiki closed" page. Anyone knows what is up, how to fix it, or about other alternatives?
Title.
What else?
42yo, dad bod male here.
Yesterday morning, I did a heavy lower body workout and some back exercises, along with a series of shuttle runs. Then I picked up sticks in my yard and did some gardening. After that I hit golf balls at the range for an hour. In the evening I played a father-daughter full-court basketball game and ran the court the whole time.
I've been doing a workout designed for golf fitness since early January and I've stuck with it. It has a lot of squats and deadlifts and core activities, along with some upper body. Three days a week, I do treadmill where I stay at 120bpm for 30 minutes.
I can move today without much soreness except in my feet. A few months ago, this would have hurt me. I'm still overweight because I eat (way) too much, but I'm strong now and glad my body works pretty well.
How I started off;
In November I decided I wanted to lose weight and become ripped for Summer (still not where I want to be). So I started running... A lot. At my peak I was running 64 kilometers a week, like so:
| Day | Distance (kilometers) |
|---|---|
| Monday | 6 |
| Tuesday | 6 |
| Wednesday | 13 |
| Thursday | 6 |
| Friday | 13 |
| Saturday | 10 |
| Sunday | 10 |
I didn't keep track of my weight, but that continued for about 3 months. On Saturdays and Sundays I ran the 10 kilometers to my gym and spent about 2 hours doing circuits of all the machines, 10 reps of 10 on pretty much everything.
A month ago;
A month ago I signed up to two gyms, one near my home and the other near my school, and I've been going there everyday! My routine is as follows:
Chest: Monday, Thursday.
Do this in the order 3 times
| Exercise | Weight (kg) | Reps | Sets | Rest (s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clap Push-ups | Me | 10 | 1 | 5 |
| High Cable Chest Fly | 13.75 | 10 | 1 | 5 |
| Dumbbell Chest Press | 20x2 | 10 | 1 | 5 |
Biceps: Monday, Thursday.
| Exercise | Weight (kg) | Reps | Sets | Rest (s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bent-over Bicep Curl | 22* | 10* | 1 | 5 |
| Bent-over Bicep Curl | 24* | 10* | 1 | 5 |
| Bent-over Bicep Curl | 26* | 10* | 1 | 5 |
*for each arm.
Core: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Repeat each 3 times in the order.
| Exercise | Weight (kg) | Reps | Sets | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Russian Twist | 14 | 30 | 1 | 10 |
| Yoga Ball Pushups | me | 5 both feet on ball, 3 with only right, then 3 with only left, then 5 both feet on ball to finish | 1 | 30 |
| Plank | me | 10s feet together, 10 sec feet apart, 5 sec one arm up, 5 sec other arm up | 1 | 30 |
| Vertical Plank | me | Hold for 30 seconds | 1 | 30 |
| Leg Raise (Feet to touch dumbbell | 14 | 15 | 1 | 10 |
Back: Tuesday, Friday.
| Exercise | Weight (kg) | Reps | Sets | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T-Bar | 35 | 10 | 4 | 15 |
| Lat Pull Down V-Grip | 55 | 15 | 3 | 15 |
| Bent over row | 30 | 10 | 4 | 15 |
| Lat Pull Down | 55 | 15 | 3 | 15 |
Triceps: Tuesday, Friday.

| Tricep Push Down Cable | 27 | 15 | 3 | 15 |
| Tricep Extension With E-Bar | 15 | 10 | 3 | 20 |
Legs: Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday. I don't do any leg exercises, I'm still cutting so instead I do 2 hours on the treadmill at a normal jog.
Nutrition Eating under 1000 cals a day as I'm cutting, eating a mix of nuts, broccoli, and fruit for lunch in school, and a mix of brown rice and either chicken or salmon for dinner. Drinking only water. I take protein during school days to replace lost protein.
30lbs left to go and 12 weeks to get there. Down 100 since Oct 1st. 138 from my heaviest. ...
First time post here, guys. I'm Andrew. I'm 29 and I've been on a weight loss journey for about 4 years now. Started out at about 350lbs and dropped down to about 270 over the course of the first 3 years. Today, I stepped on the scale at 297lbs. Fuck. I know the problem. It's not a problem at the gym, but at the dinner table like so many others. I know how to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat. I'm probably one of the most nutritionally-educated, fat guys around. To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure what that point of this post even is. Maybe a bit of motivation? A tip or two? My gym habits are consistent and I've definitely made some gains over the years and my cardio conditioning is the best it's ever been! But really, to me, that all means shit compared to my health. I have aspirations of being a personal trainer on my small home town. I want people to make changes that last a lifetime, but I vowed not to pursue until my testimony is one that I can use. Help guys. I can't fail now, and I'll be damned if I see that scale creep over 300.
