New Year, New You!! Almost completely cut out candy last year. This year's goal - limiting desserts to weekends only. Let's do this, TWW (at least until the website goes away again...).

I'm with you! Goal is to start tracking my foods again. Telling myself that I can eyeball everything accurately is obviously not working.

searching substitutes for foods now. switching from regular milk to fairlife, and from chicken meatballs to gardein plant-based meatless meatballs. Gardein also has a meatless chicken tenders and a few other products i will try.

Cutting way down on processed foods and sugar, and sticking to 5-times-a-week workout.

Also trying to get in daily stretching.

I'm planning on working more beef into my diet and trying to increase my sodium intake

Have you considered bacon for the latter?

Or pastrami is you want to kill two birds?

Good idea!

(Haha actually have some in the oven RN)

I had a bad ankle/foot break last year and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks. Gained a lot of weight between that and the holidays.

I had bought a bike right before that happened but man has it helped with recovery and getting into shape. I’ve put 600+ miles on it outdoors and am just really into it.

Went in for a TacX Neo2 smart trainer and a nice setup for Zwift. It’s been awesome doing their training programs, etc. through the winter. I highly recommend it.

I’ve been counting calories, eating clean (steam fresh veggies ftw) and not drinking and have been consistently losing weight and feeling better than I have in years

Last time I was in lockdown (Feb-Jul 2020), I had gained a few pounds (5-7 lbs) within the first few weeks and that became my new normal weight. Hated it because most of it ended up around my midsection.

Lost all the extra weight once lockdown ended in July.

Again in lockdown now since Dec 1 and this time around I am at my normal half the days of the week and 1-2 lbs below normal the other half. Eating a WFPB diet 95% of the time.

My goal is simply not to gain any weight (unless muscle) and I am doing OK with that. Next goal will be to gain some muscle after a few weeks. Too many things happening now for me to work towards that goal.

Or



The first is a much better meatless meatball in my opinion

Two weeks down, no dessert during the week so far. Back to freezing grapes as an after dinner dessert substitute. But, also discovered Mike’s Hot Honey recently so that’s not helping.

I’ve eaten more fruit this month than in the last 5 years combined. I’m not big on frozen grapes, though.

Down 15 pounds since Christmas. I’m sure a lot was water/bloat. Going strong on no drinking, sub-1600 calories, and lots of Zwift. Tracking everything in Renpho. Clothes fit so much better now - I’ve lost 4” on my waist and 3/4” on my neck. Hoping to continue through February. I have a surgery at the end of the month and should be at my goal weight and under 13% bf by then.

For 2021 I’m looking to hit a deadlift over 500, bench of 315, and squat 405 again. I’m definitely on track for the deadlift, been easily hitting singles above 450 before my working sets, as long as I don’t get hurt that one is going to be hit before summer. Bench is going to be tough, I’d estimate my max is in the 290 range but I’ve been progressing better the last 15 weeks or so than ever before so I think it could happen this year. Squatting is going to be the hardest because I’ve been rehabbing a nasty case of gluteal tendinopathy. It’s on the mend but my squat just sucks right not because I haven’t been able to train it hard in years. Probably in the 335-350 range right now but slow and steady is my approach there.

^^ that's awesome, keep it up! good luck with the surgery

^ keep pushing

I'm down 10lbs primarily by tracking all the food I eat and meeting calorie goals. Still a long way to go to get back to where I was 3 years ago
