that's actually exactly what happened to me. it really pissed me off. didn't help that he was walking at about 0.2 speed and just oogle-eyeing everyone walking past. when he finally stopped "exercising" and was cleaning off his machine i kind of just stared at him with a puzzled look. i really wanted to say something but Planet Fitness is so touchy with what they consider intimidation i didn't feel like losing my gym membership.

 

Don't let that lunk alarm intimidate you! Sometimes you gotta speak up if someone's being a dick. Sounds like the mall was closed so he went for a stroll at the gym lol

 

I did meal prep for the first time and boy did that save me so much time this morning. Everything is all ready measured and ready to go, just have to put it in my lunch bag and out there door I go. I also used this really nice day to do two 15 minute power walks which added up to 2 miles today. Need to keep this up cause I know that in like 3 weeks I'm going to see some serious results!

 

Meal prep is amazing, but hard.

 

I found it really easy, probably because I have OCD so I like planning ahead.

 

i do meal prepping just in general now for everything i buy. i got sick of measuring out a bowl of cereal or a cup of sweet peas day after day so now every Sunday after grocery shopping i take 2-3 hours and split everything up, bag it up, split it up by the portion sizes and then i'm ready to go for the week, for every meal.

 

I only did meal prep for breakfast and lunch. I am stuck on what to do for dinners because I don't want the same dinner every night.

 

I find that routine is best because you give yourself variety at dinner when meal prep for breakfast and lunch becomes monotonous. Key is to map out dinners for the week so you know what you're cooking when you get home. My wife and I will meal prep Sunday morning to get it out of the way first thing.

 

Yeah, this is what we do too. Dinner is planned and sometimes leftovers are for lunch.

 

chicken breast and a crockpot are meal prep cheat codes

 

does anyone have any breakfast/lunch/Dinner meal prep ideas?

 

My breakfast alternates between a Greek yogurt on days I known dinner or lunch will be bigger and a poached egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin other days. I find that limiting my options to a few things I enjoy and can predict/plan around for breakfast (and in my case lunch) gives me the freedom to eat what I like for dinner and not have to worry about going over

 

I am struggling not to weigh myself all the time. It's getting compulsive, even though I don't want it to

That said, I think I'll be in under 233 this week. My initial goal was 230 by Labor Day, so I'mma smash that

 

I weigh in on Mondays and in the last 2 weeks I haven't gone up or down in weight so I understand. Every time I tell someone my weight, they look at me like I'm nuts. I can feel the weight but I guess its not very visible to the people around me which is nice I guess, but I feel HUGE.

My friend gave me a copy of her food plan and I altered it a little bit to foods I like. But it is going to be really hard, can't have any sugar, sweets, chocolate, cupcakes, cookies..no junk. I'm going to do this plan for 2 weeks straight and the work out plan and pray to god I can drop this extra 37 lbs I packed on after my operation in October.

 

Good luck to you.

I could never do a plan like that. The question I always ask myself is "Could I do this the rest of my life?" If the answer isn't yes, then it's not worth doing, because it's just a matter of when that I fall off the wagon and then it all goes back on. So my progress is way slower than lots of people in this thread, but I firmly believe they're changes I can stick with long-term

 

I doubt I'll do this forever, but I need to do something. I'm also horrible at being active so I know that will help and going on the Zoloft will totally help drop some weight.

 

Yeah the activity is enormous.

I lost 4 pounds the first month I was eating better. I've lost 23 in the 2 months since by walking every day. Keeping a close watch on my calories is a big component, but it only got me really moving forward when I got off my ass and got outside. Which was hard after a lifetime of being sedentary

 

My diet is going well but I'm not doing it in a healthy way. I shouldn't starve myself but I do. I can see how many people end up with eating disorders.

 

Please be careful. I've seen people get really fucked up from this. Want you to be okay.

 

everyone should have at least some type of sweet a day. whether a cookie or half a candy bar (or a bite size candy bar). unless you want to get the cover of muscle magazines, a small treat a day won't kill you and cutting out sweets entirely isa major reason most people are unable to keep diets going / get unhappy.

 

My friend photoshopped me to be thinner in a photo and she didn't mean harm and was excited to show me how "good" I looked but I think I looked fine before and also I think it's kinda rude?? Idk it made me feel a type of way.

 

I'm currently eating a small piece of a cookie cake and IDGAF

 

is it from great american cookie? because i hate those. but if a cookie cake is done right, p damn good.

 

I don't really have a sweet tooth. I'd rather have another entree or app for dessert.

 

I could eat chocolate all day erry day.
