Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

 yeah.
the pizza is 900, the soda is 185
the cake slice and donut i had to lookup and just be ok with what i found.
the cake slice is almost 900 and the donut is almost 400.

i havent had the donut yet. i will soon then not eat for a minimum of 10 hours to restart for a new day. new day back on the healthy trail.

those calories aren't abnormal for my normal bad eating habits.

You do you, but binge eating on "cheat days" is gon keep you big as hell.

Cheat yourself to a lil treat 1 or 2 times a week when it fits inside your daily macro / calorie intake.

 what can I say, I am a saint.





At my YMCA I get a discount cuz i am poor.  Its like 50% off or something.  I am not ready to go back there though.  Maybe the start of Feb. I'll be ready to add more to my routine.

I wish my YMCA had better pool hours.  Not sure what it is like for other YMCA pools but here you get put on a waitlist, something like 2 weeks in advance. 


EDIT:
My 1st meal back on the grind was eggs(no cheese), broccoli and cheese, 1 can of french style green beans, 1/4 tablespoon of butter, black pepper.  :) ............................. oh and a soda. 
I bought 4 sodas on friday. Once thats gone i wont buy more til next friday which will only be 2 this time.

Soda's fine if you keep it to like 1-2 a day and do sugar free with 0-25 calories.

Especially if it helps you stay inside your calorie deficit on most days

Crimson

I kind of feel like youre talking as if we are already fit or skinny.
Having treats once a day or a soda once a day, I feel isn't going to work for a fat person.
We have to cut them far and in between with treats and soda or we will just want them all the time..... which is why we are fat.


EDIT:
My cheat day ended up being just under 2,400 calories.
I disagree with the zig zag diet theory but hey chalk it up.

Went to the store to get some pot pies

and other things
but man
the calories are not worth the little nutrition


I got this instead





Of course I am still on the grind.
My pushups have gotten better.
I was never able to do more than  10 pushups at one time. A few days ago i did 15 in a row.

My cheat day is 7 days away.  Oh baby.

If you are drinking a 140-150 calorie drink 1 or 2 times a day of ciurse you arent going to meet your calorie goals. 

Sugar free drinks and soda have like 10-25 calories per can.

 I'll be sticking to water and tea for my workdays and then 1 soda on days I don't work.

Soda isn't meant to be sugar free.
You wanna do soda right, drink it right.

Only glass bottle brands.





These are my brands I drink.

You know not everybody wants to chug 40+ grams of sugar everytime they treat themselves to a nice lil Soda.

I only drink sugar free / diet and it to me tastes the exact same, but I also don't religiously drink soda anymore aswell.

How does that make sense? Pls elaborate 

That's like saying juice isn't suppose to be sugar free.

To make soda and juice sugar free is to make them unnatural. 
It is in their nature to have sugar.

Lmaoo okay makes sense as to why I'm 135-138 and you are 250+. Such a fat person cope to say "unnatural" do some research and read a research paper or study.

I got it. you got all the answers keep going maybe you'll hit 235 eventually. 😂😂👍

Sticking to a diet version isn't exactly giving in to the man or questioning the will of god lmao. They taste the same anyway just drink the healthier ones

Like I said I don't drink soda, but saying natural and unnatural when you are talking about drinking High fructose syrup from a metal can is so stupid it hurts.

+ diet and sugar free is 100% healthier

When your that weight i think the best thing you can do is just exercise, diet can't do it all, so hopefully they're keeping to that vow and using the pelaton. Still, a perceived worse taste is a small price to pay for being able to walk up stairs and live past 50

100%

People think diet is a substitute for working out, and also don't realize how calories stack or how long they take to lose.
