Me, too. I look as bloated as ever, but then it's hard for me to see a difference looking in the mirror every day.

I'm still working away at it, though! I'm 10 weeks in eating keto - it's helped...

I love this stuff! The Oatmeal Cookie is pretty amazing, the best flavor IMHO. The Birthday Cake was like the last bits of ice cream and cake crumbs on your plate (complete with what seemed to me to...

I've went traveling on business for 11 days, which played havoc with both my workout and diet. I used a protein bar every morning to help hit my protein target, but those bring too many carbs along...

^^^This.

I have really high, drug resistant hypertension (meaning a combo of three drugs still controls it poorly). I've always assumed it was a genetic thing, as I have a family history of it. In the past...

I'm with ya, I feel fantastic. I wish it would stay this easy! I know tough times are ahead.

I've been at it seriously for a week. The prior week I gradually decreased carbs and Kcals each day,...

I'm just starting out, myself, so I can't claim to be a super-guru or anything. But I've noticed a few things that might help:

1. When I'm eating clean, hitting both my Kcals and macros (110g...

I guess this guy had spotters, but I often don't. I always take a moment to compose myself, and remind myself that this is dangerous. I used to use the "no-thumbs" grip, back in the day. I don't now,...

LOL! I climb back into my flying saucer and talk to Elvis.

Seriously, I've been taking a protein shake (or bar, when life interferes) as soon as I return from the gym. I've been losing fat, and...

Just chiming in, I use it too. As has been mentioned, you need to be wary when choosing items. I often google the calories for something, so I know beforehand the rough numbers. I try to get...

I haven't planned every detail of my "cut" yet, but I won't be drinking beer. So many calories! Just knowing that you are out there spitting out free beer (!!) to hit your macros puts it into...

I'm back to 100% myself! My weakness is beer (glorious beer!), and as an avid homebrewer, it isn't in short supply. I only indulge once a week, but with the holidays, that will go out the window....

Ok. Well, 40 years ago I was only 11 years old, and didn't spend much time back then in cheap Russian gyms. I fail to see how expensive, solid gold kettlebells would work any better than the cheap...

That nih.gov link you quoted is gold. The swings have made my back feel great - and it has been a long time since I've said anything crazy like that. Thanks.

Thank you all for the info. I'm surprised how much the swings worked my abs and erectors, they felt pretty sore the next day (in the good way). I can use a bit of that, so I'm pretty happy with my...

No, I don't plan on building my routine around kettlebells! I don't recall seeing those 25 years ago when I was at the gym a lot, but they're everywhere now. I'm naturally curious. I did pick up a 44...

Me too. Flu. On Monday I set a PR in bench (recent PR - I'm not counting anything from 30 years ago. Yeah, when I was 21 I was Superman - who wasn't?). Then bam! All snotty, feverish, chills. I spent...

I think pastorgbc's answer nails it, really. It's easy to overthink things. Then again, overthinking things is like my favorite pastime, so...

There is more to strength than muscle size (a lot...

^^^This x 10.
Like DingleBerry's advice, this comes from a fat guy that's walking the road you've started. All you read about "controlled feeds" and nutrient timing are for guys that are at a level...

Thanks for sharing, it helps to know that others are coming back from injury, too. If you don't mind, how did you overcome your sciatica? You can PM me if you'd rather. Keep up the good fight!
