How are people that work full-time sedentary jobs and have evening commitments a few times a week and family they need to spend time with or take care of — how do people ma Abe these things And getting strength training And 8-10k steps a day?? I am struggling. When I walk while working I am getting a kink/tight muscle in my lower back from the i…Read More

My kids are 23, 20, 18. My 18 year old graduates HS in May. For the last 23 years our vacations have for the most part been family vacations and for probably the last 20 never in August or September due to school starting, sports l, or whatever the kids have had going on. Raising 3 kids, getting them through school, college and started in life as…Read More

Anybody have an easy mental system for macros sushi? I go out for sushi once a week, every place has a different roll — if a roll has 7 things I don’t want to spend so long on my app tracking estimations for each small separate ingredient. Would love some kind of ethnic foods guide like the fast food one !!

Anyone else here struggling with chronic pain conditions for which you have to take medicine? Or weight lifting and designing a program with a major muscle group you cannot hit ?

Raw vs cooked weight on sweet potatoes — in past I just baked and used an MFP entry to track my meal plan 130f, ‘sweet potato, cooked’ … but I air fried them this week and now I’m up to 2 24oz boxes of pre cut potato to get 6 meals with 130g servings … realizing maybe I need to do less than 130g when air fried to get the same # of carbs ? If…Read More

Does anyone have any recs for self-development books? I am almoooost done with my current one and ready to make a Barnes and Noble trip! TIA!

Do not recommend: change to evening workout, do stairs — get terrible sleep due to the ‘non-stim ’ preworkout keeping you up at night – then 8am next morning do legs 😭

Do the studies about NEAT and steps – I know many people count steps taken where only your legs are moving (e.g. typing while walking), but how have they measured steps in the studies ?

Any tips for not making meal prep steal half of my weekend or drain all my energy and leave me with no free time due to also getting my workout/steps/cardio ? I’m so exhausted.

Is the macro calculated in the app?

Glutes and hamstring focused workout today and over 10k in steps. Starting the week off right!

I want to get this chat, more active even before launching the full mobile app!

I want to hear one New Year’s goal that involves your health and fitness.

Mine is to work on my mobility. 10 minutes at least three times a week.

Hello all! I joined the Collective a bunch of months ago when it started, but I haven’t been in for awhile. What is the day/time of the call now? What else is going on? Any challenges? Looking forward to being back. 🙂

Halloween!! We made it! I did indulge in a couple BUT I planned for it so all is good. Great challenge!

I did eat more than one treat today, but I didn’t go crazy. I enjoyed a fun holiday with my family and I don’t even regret it.

Fun size butterfinger today. I am actually over eating a treat every day. And I’m glad it’s almost done. Which is crazy! I’m proud of myself, that I’ve had an open bag of candy that has lasted weeks. It doesn’t have the power over me like it used to.

I helped a friend chaperone a big group of kids at a corn maze for a birthday party tonight. They bought donuts there, and I should’ve just said no thanks. But I felt weird and obligated, and ate one. So definitely more than 90 calories, but I still ended the day with good macro numbers so I’m moving on and not too upset about it.

Great day today. We went downtown to the Halloween event and I got about 100 calories worth of tootsie rolls since my daughter doesn’t like them. I love them!

I missed posting yesterday!!! Dang! I had another 100 Grand and it was fantastic. I’m loving how this challenge is just reinforcing what I know but sometimes forget. If I “let” myself have fun stuff…I don’t need ALL the fun stuff.

The individually wrapped Twizlers are my favorite, had one tonight. Still not even tempted to binge on the whole bag of candy, I’ve made way too much and it feels so good!

Mini Baby Ruth and mini Butterfinger. Delicious!! Today was hard but I did not falter! The printer broke down in my office so I had to print next door. Which means I walked by the damn candy bowl about 15 times today. But I had my treat and that’s it. Plus it was good for the step count.

Enjoyed again…the pumpkin snickerdoodle. Man are they good. I had to work at a client’s office today. Man does that help with snacking. Maybe I can work there everyday. 🤣

OK! I had a pretty hectic day and was late eating lunch due to a meeting that went long. So freaking long. I was hungry and cranky but I didn’t let myself have my treat until I ate lunch and got all settled. Then i could enjoy it. And remember eating it. 😁 I enjoyed a nice Hersey with almonds.
