Andrew Steer Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Myfitnesspal still the best calorie tracker? Any recommendation for a nice free app for planning your training with reminders etc?
Bundu Ric Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Good advice / motivation. I am currently averaging between 500 - 900grams per week so I am happy. #MondayMotivation "Even if you loose 500g a week, you would have still lost 26kg's by this time next year!

JuddMan Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Myfitnesspal still the best calorie tracker? Any recommendation for a nice free app for planning your training with reminders etc? I used to use MyFitnessPal but got tired of having to guess what to use to log my food diary. Put in 'cup of coffee' and get various options running from 40 calories to 190 calories? I have no clue, that's why I'm using the app Would be interesting to hear what valid alternatives there are. Andrew Steer 1
JohanDiv Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Myfitnesspal still the best calorie tracker? Any recommendation for a nice free app for planning your training with reminders etc?The Samsung S Health app works simple and good enough for me to track calories. I think on intervals.icu you can plan your future workouts and estimate the training load to see the future effect on your fitness if you keep to your training plans? Come in David Tinker?!

patches Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Myself and a friend entered into a weight loss challenge.Initially we were just going to see who could lose the most (as a percentage of their start weight), over the space of 3-4 months, and the loser would have to pay the winner $1000.The bet was too rich for my blood, especially in that one could work their butt off, and still be trounced by 100g and ed up $1000 poorer. So we came up with new terms. We each selected goal weights (approx 10% less than start weight). Both parties put $200 into a pot. If one makes their goal weight, they get their money back and can spend it on whatever.If they don't, they have to donate $100 to a worthy cause, and $100 to a cringy cause (like Trump's legal fees or Flat Earth Society) AND publicly post about their support for said cause on Facebook.Now if that's not reason enough, I don't know what is!

Zebra Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 ...started KETO + 'slight' fasting on 01st Jan 2021, and these are my results for 3 weeks (21 days):... 1. I am 'eating healthy', NOT dieting, some nites I am actually quite full after eating properly, which is cool... 2. I am a 'lazy' 'dieter', so no watching total calories for me, unfortunately, just reading labels so i KNOW what I am putting in to my body... 3. fasting: am simply trying to delay breakfast by an hour or 2 or 3 when it does NOT bother, me, but if very hungry, then I eat as soon as I feel like it - i DO feel that the KETO diet leads to greater 'satiation' (feeling satisfied/full), than I was expecting, which I am most impressed with... 4. Avocados, even at in-Season prices (!) have become a daily must-have - good healthy fats, very palatable, etc! 5. I have not (yet) suffered from KETO flu, though I hear it does happen to a lot of people... 6. I have enjoyed that 'hungry buzz' a couple of times, where i have pushed breakfast out by an hour or two, and then i enjoy great clarity of thought, the hunger making me more alert, as it were! 7. Am updating the Weight Challenge spreadsheet every 10 days or so for MY benefit, since - for me - 30 days is a long time-horizon, and I want to stick to my plan, recording my weight 3x per month seems to help...! 8. Am weighing myself every 2nd day or so, not fazed if I am a little more, since we all fluctuate, but I could then 'catch' wayward (eating) behavior, if you get my drift...! 9. 2 suppliers I have not seen in 6 odd weeks have commented I am looking slimmer - who knows?! 10. Pants are fitting easier, and I am not FEELING as heavy - early days, but I AM enjoying the challenge! 11. Have read up a LITTLE on KETO, so far, so not drowning my brain in too many facts, what I have learned, is:a) my least favorite nuts - Macadamias - are the best low-carb choice, THEN almonds, and only THEN, Cashews!b) Avocado's really are an amazing food, tick SO many boxes...c) 90% Lindt chocolate is ok as occasional treat, currently on special at Makrod) my 40-year habit of finishing EVERY slab or chocolate I started was - maybe - ill-advised! e) these DROPS that you add to water and milk (or even Soy) REALLY help in getting more water - or milk - into me, since I often feel water is fairly bland when NOT super thirsty...f) water definitely fills me up, so by adding above drops (ELVIN Water Enhancer, and TRU Hydrations Milk Shake Flavor Enhancer, both sugar-free), I am actually enjoying drinking the stuff!g) am cooking eggs in Coconut oil, and it is actually quite pleasant, another way of getting good fat in...h) have had GOOD success with these all-seed crackers, as a bread substitute, and blue cheese on top...i) finishing off the last of a few tubs of LESS healthy peanut butter, and will THEN buy the super-healthy peanut butter, since that can form a useful part of KEZTO diet, I suspect...?j) Giant Mushrooms are a great burger-bun substitute, and are super tasty cooked with garlic... 13. Trying to commute in to work on 52 Fridays this year, or as many as are reasonable, done 3 from 3 so far, 30 km in, work the day, then 30km home, am fortunate to get to go Coastal Route back to Hout Bay, how bad can it be!and a one-way commute (IN) on Tuesday, which gives 90km per week excluding weekends, not much, but a start! Feedback/suggestions/criticism welcome, especially on getting in healthy fats, finding that challenging! CheersChris Andrew Steer, henningvr, BigDL and 1 other 4
MrJacques Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Did a brisket on the smoker for 16 hours yesterday. Ate it without any potato bake etc so calories weren’t bad. Tasted bloody good though. Isn't the cheese supposed to be on top?

Olive oil is another good fat to try and incorporate as well as real butter. LOW GI is what works for me Zebra and PieterJvR 2
Cois Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) A little inspiration for today. Out one Budgie Kiwi has a weight problem. She weighed 50grams at the start of January. Today we did another weight check on her. She lost 10 grams and she is now on her ideal weight of 40 grams [emoji16] I am a proud dad today Edited January 24, 2021 by Cois MrJacques, Bundu Ric, Andrew Steer and 3 others 6
Patchelicious Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Found myself at 92 beginning of November. Managed to get down to 86 by the time I went to SA on 15 Dec. Went back up to 88 thanks to the wine farms. Back down to 86.6 Some more inspiration JohanDiv, DR ◣◢ and Andrew Steer 3
