I make myself eat mcdonalds once a week. Dont get me wrong I love the taste, but it helps me stay on track to have that type of "cheat". After some burgers and fries I can keep snacking to a minimum. If i dont, I tend to snack hard.My self imposed rule is to eat out one meal a week. It definitely has helped with loss and maintaining.
The problem I have is that I don't cheat on food often, but when I do I go way overboard.I make myself eat mcdonalds once a week.

Works best if I have the M the day I go grocery shopping. Feel gross so I shop better.
My BMI ranks me as 'obese'. Here's a post workout photo from last week of my obese butt.I would like to say BMI is the most useless tool any doctors office uses. I went to the doctor to do my health screening for insurance. I weighed in at 235 in their office ,they won't let you remove anything from your person, I weighed in yesterday at home at 220, I've used other scales recently and been around 220. My BMI score was 32.65 and now have to go do a health assessment meeting with some nurse 60 lbs overweight to tell me how unhealthy I am.
Am I the most healthy? No, but for the sake of all that is holy I am training for a Murph and just did it in 71 minutes Friday and I work out Monday-Friday at 5:30 am for an hour, none of that matters though. This is the ish about healthcare that pisses me off.

What are some opinions on Planet Fitness?
Not looking to get into hardcore body building, just want to lose some weight and get in better shape.
Planet Fitness seems like it would fit my style, but I've read a lot of bad reviews about their billing practices.
Just curious if any of you guys and gals have had dealings with them.
The one where I live is great. I think they're franchises so they'll all be hit or miss I'd say.What are some opinions on Planet Fitness?

I was a member of Lifestyle Fitness for 25 years until they were bought out by Planet Fitness. It changed and not for the better. Dirty showers, dirty weight area, members leaving workout bags on the floor and staff not doing anything about it. I canceled my membership and canceled the credit card which paid my monthly fee.
Yours might be better. Do they offer trial memberships?
Check this out:Not sure about trial memberships.
Read that they require a checking account to pay your monthly dues. Not crazy about that.
I know a couple people who have been "prebilled" on their memberships there. Supposedly that policy has been changed but not sure I would personally trust them.What are some opinions on Planet Fitness?

We had membership there for a couple years and loved it. We moved and had no issues transferring our membership to the closest one to our new house, but it ultimately was just not convenient. We had no issues canceling. Now have home gym equipment.What are some opinions on Planet Fitness?
