Great advice tho

Track your calories, macros, and any micronutrients that you’re concerned about (e.g., sodium, fiber). Set a goal and stick to it. I use the LoseIt app and a digital kitchen scale.

Drink a lot of water. Half your body weight (in lbs) in ounces. So if you weigh 130 lbs, drink 130 ÷ 2 = 65 oz of water daily. This is your baseline; add more for exercise. Don’t go overboard because too much water is bad for you.

Aim for 45-60 minutes of vigorous exercise 3-4 times a week. I like weightlifting for this. On the other days, be active, but don’t push yourself too much. You need rest for recovery.

After your workouts, don’t eat back all your calories, but do consider having something protein-heavy.

Sleep. I can’t emphasize enough how important sleep is. Try to get 7-8 hours every night. This is the hardest one for me personally; I don’t have a ton of advice. But developing a bedtime routine helps.

Weigh yourself every day first thing in the morning, after you’ve used the bathroom and before you’ve had anything to eat or drink, with no clothes on. I like my Withings scale because the app tracks my measurements over time.

Have a mindset of lifestyle change - otherwise, if you go back to old habits, you’re likely to gain back any weight you lose.

Good luck!

Yeah I love my Withings scale

Jesus, did you guys go to school in Florida or something?

Oh great, good luck getting that outta my head!

I think that would be purgatory.

Ohhh now I remember, he was so happy :)

But didn’t he get tired of frog tchotchkies after a while?

No, it’s just got an irritating sound. Also it makes me think about Niblets (the frozen corn kernels). But that’s not enough to explain how annoying I find that word. Maybe I’m just weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something about that word irks me and I’m not sure why.

I’ve always loved that quote. Also this beast:

And we get a little further from perfection
Each year on the road
I think that’s called ‘character’; I think that’s
Just the way it goes
But it’s better to be dusty than polished like some
Store window mannequin
Won’t you touch me where I’m rusty
Let me stain your hands

But doesn’t the starter take like 3 weeks?

It takes me an hour to make pizza from scratch at home. I’ll grant it’s messy but it’s pretty easy!

Dough recipe

Pizza sauce recipe

Pizza stone

Pizza peel

1. Prepare dough following steps 1-8 in the dough recipe above
2. While your dough is rising, prepare the pizza sauce
3. Liberally dust your pizza peel with corn meal (use more than you think you need!)
4. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the pizza peel and pinch the edges to form a crust
5. Assemble and cook the pizza following steps 10-12 in the dough recipe above. I tend to use about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, 4oz grated mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and pepperoni, but the sky’s the limit really
6. Enjoy!

Hey fellow Philadelphian! I’m originally from New Jersey but have lived in and around Philly since the late '90s.

I like the Citizen of Earth concept too. We’re all human and borders are just lines on a map!
