  • Ok I had given up “hope” I would meet the goal.

    During week 3, despite careful tracking and sticking to workout plan —my weight was hovering around 2.5lbs lost and couldn’t budge it!

    Last week my eldest graduated HS and I stayed at a hotel to help her move out of dorm. I used the gym, went out for dinner (OMG MEXICAN INFLUENCED POKE BOWL!!! Yum).

    I relaxed a bit over the weekend and wasn’t as stringent with calories (mine is rather low) but still mostly was tracking all macros. I’ve woken up today with only 1 b left to lose. I was pretty active the last few days on top of workouts. Amazing? ??

    Maybe I CAN do it!!! I’m going to see CAKE at Surly Brewery on Thursday sooooo I will have to make good choices. 😜

Something to note about workouts: more or longer isn’t always better.

It’s easy to get into a mentality that you need to workout 60-90 minutes to really make any weight loss progress, especially when you’re up against a short time table, like this DietBet. But remember that it’s all about finding the balance between your calorie intake and workouts. You do not need to kill yourself physically, thinking that will help. In fact, it can hinder results, like creating more inflammation in your body and/or retain more water because your body is trying to recover. This also goes for double workouts in a day.

Instead, focus on a SOLID workout that may be closer to 30-60 minutes (max). You’ll be able to push yourself harder since it’s a shorter amount of time, while still getting a solid burn. Remember as well, that muscle activation from weight lifting does increase your caloric burn throughout the day vs. just cardio. 😉👍

I sit most of the day for work. I have found that a 45 minute walk, even if it’s broken up throughout the day and a shorter focused workout 30-45 minute is a sweet spot for me.

Somedays all I do is walk though too. I have been dealing with a muscle spasm in back lately so walking has been my primary.

How do you log a mixed meal into trackers correctly?
I made a beef stir fry with mixed vegetables...

I put the custom meal in and tried to divide it to a portion that I had of it, I'm not sure that I did it correctly and if I did it's not the most accurate for sure,
And it took forever to do!!
I am really liking looking over the data and trying to figure out how much to eat to get the most energy. Even though for the first couple days I had keto on and was trying to consume 90+ grams of fat!! Lol

It sounds like you did it right—or at least the way I do it! It is a little time consuming at first to enter the recipes with all of the ingredients, etc but once I had my usual recipes entered, it got a lot quicker!

Hi everyone, my daughter is getting baptized on Sunday and we're hosting a big party with all the usual party foods. Anyone have tips about if it's better to plan on a cheat day or try to prepare separate healthier food for myself?

Always have a veggie and fruit platter :) those help you stay on track. I’d recommend a treat day, but try not to over do it

This probably won’t help much for this event but over time I’ve gently pushed my family towards better options at parties and holidays (“don’t we have enough carbs/casseroles? Could someone bring another veggie? I don’t think we need 4 desserts…could you bring a fruit tray?”) We end up with a better mix of healthy/less healthy options.
