i still am staying under my 2k cals but i was eating ****ty food. i had one of their pizza slices and half of a pretzel. then, on sunday, i had taco bell

Hey your doing better than me today...! Look as long as you keep hitting under cals, you will lose weight..simples

holy crap. i am so weak compared to where i was at years ago. just doing the full body workout i realized i have so much catching up to do!

also, does anyone here do or heard of CKO kickboxing? its an interactive group kickboxing cardio class where you burn up to like 1200 cals in 1 hour. its pretty intense and tiring. i bought my gf and i a 1 yr membership at 60/mo for xmas last year bc she always said how she wanted to do it and thought itd be fun. she goes like twice a week and loves it. i went for first like 5 months but didnt take it seriously, nor dieted, and realized its just not for me. i have 5 months left on my contract and i havent gone in almost 2 months. i called and asked to cancel and they said its a 250$ fee that cant be waived. do you think i should go to cko 2 days a week again as a dif cardio/workout or just cancel it bc i didnt really like it?

Well done mate...what about posting intake and cals?

ive been posting to the app as much as i can which is almost every time i eat everyday, but not here..

also, was originally planning on vegas in sept but the gf didnt want to go so we just booked cancun. i have 6 weeks to lose a lil weight haha. hoping for 10 lbs, something realistic

thats all good mate but why not post here...some accountability is a good thing...sure has helped me.

okay ill give it a shot

breakfast: 3 cups of water
lunch: wendys grilled chicken sandwich 370cals with 1 cup water

Good man!

bump....come on dude..dont give up..back on it!

wow, after not posting for a while and losing the 2+2 app, i forgot this thread existed!

well as you can imagine and probably assumed things didnt go as planned. i did, however, join fitness program in october-december and lost 20lbs from it. but since then, i have gained 5lbs of it back. i went down 1 pant size and shirts fit better.

a new gym opened in my area that is on my way home from work and i just joined it and am going to retry this.

29yr old, 250lbs.

my goal long term goal is 1 year from now to be at and maintain 195lbs.
my short term goals are 10lbs a month or 220lbs by June 2017.

writing down my meals here or on phone are not possible, i forget, i am lazy with it and its not going to happen.

i am however going to follow the meal plan that the previous fitness program gave to me (10 weeks cycling) and stick to that. its very easy to maintain, step by step, exactly what to and what not to eat.

i am going to try and post in here twice a week to keep up with it, and have set myself a reminder
