New Years resolutions are a complete joke and waste of time. NO ONE will ever improve their fitness until they sit down, write out a list of goals and stop making excuses. Eliminate sugar, drink and shit ton of water and good, clean foods. Get rid of processed shit...that's what makes you fat and lazy and feel like shit. You need to make physical activity part of your day, just like brushing your teeth. Everyone that says they don't have time, isn't serious about getting fit. Do you think Dana White has spare time in his day? If he can find extra time in his day, there is NO reason that everyone that wants to get in shape can't. It's called lazy and not really caring about your health. Good luck finding your health this year but I think this thread will read tge same this year as it does every year. 1 or 2 people will make the changes necessary and the rest will be pages of excuses.

Sugar is my biggest problem and mostly soda. It’s embarrassing I relate it to people that smoke. I know nothing good comes from it but I just do it anyways. I gotta be more mentally tough

Sugar is the most addicting substance on the planet. If you can go 6 weeks without it you will have zero cravings. Keep it out of the house. It's a mother fucker but it is worth it.

What can I drink besides water that taste ok? Gatorade has a lot of sugar too right? Maybe those crystal light packet things?

I add my wife's collagen to my water. I do 1/3 of a scoop. It tastes really good, zero sugar. Gatorade does have a ton. There's Gatorade zero but the artifical sweetener isn't good for you. Big negative on those crystal light deals.

I cut the crystal light lemonade with iced tea for a drink to maintain ketosis.

Never have sugar food on an empty stomach during my 7-8hr eating window doing keto.

I will let you know, I did. I had the tire out and tried jacking up the car but those stupid car jacks suck.

Then as I’m waiting for the truck, a guy rolls up and has a floor jack and spinner in his car. We get it up and I’m two lugs off and the other three were stripped and locked so I put it back down and waited for AAA to bring the impact to just break them off. I did give it my all.

I’m no AAA pansy.

I HAVE to have soda with some meals. I do one of two things that help a lot.
1- when I order a drink or make my own I get a diet with a splash of regular coke. The little amnount of regular coke takes away a lot of the bitter diet taste making it decent
2-drink diet 7up/Sprite Zero with a little grenadine. Another drink with a lot of taste for the low sugar content.

Artifical sweetener is exponentially worse than sugar and everyone should know how horrendous sugar is for you.

OK about two years ago I got on the scale and it read 259lbs. I said no way is it going any higher. I started fasting, by that I mean 24 or 48 hours. The most I went was 52 hours, I got down to 219lbs. At that point I said to myself let’s take a break. I went back up and leveled off at 230, I think I saw 232-235. Then I said alright high protein and lift heavy weights. I put the mountain bike away and no cardio. I eat in the morning, two hard boiled eggs, burger patty, protein shake. For lunch steak, tuna or chicken. By the time I get home and work out just a protein shake in the evening. Met my first big goal just before Christmas, less than 215. Less than what I weighed when I got married. If I keep the pace up I’ll hit my next goal by mid Jan. No distractions and making it happen.👍🏻👍🏻

We drink the sugar free Walmart version of Crystal Light. It's cheaper and tastes better IMO. The watermelon-strawberry combo is the best. The fruit punch flavor is too strong.

So I’ve been doing pretty good with the no sodas as step one of cutting back sugar intake. I won’t lie, I was drinking probably at least 6 sodas throughout the day. The weirdest thing was as I stopped drinking soda I lost my appetite. Like never hungry. These last two weeks it’s almost back to normal actually fell like I’m starving if I go too long with out eating. Weird

People don't realize how extremely damaging sugar is to the body. It fucks up every system in the body. It is literally more addictive than cocaine(and not as fun...lol). If takes 6 weeks to kick you body of the addiction. Great job on kicking the soda.

I stayed the course and this morning I’m 70lbs down from my heaviest of 259. I feel great, I’m stronger, mindset is good.
