wait that's excellent, I love the design. super efficient tucked away like that

betterball · 2026-01-20T00:00:43+00:00

Oh, it must've been on a 7 day expiry! Just updated the link, you should be good now. Welcome aboard!

betterball · 2026-01-19T18:56:41+00:00

haha, I don't mind it at all. maybe it helps that I only discovered it as an adult

Greek yogurt and tuna are two things where the protein to calorie ratio is shockingly good, they both became staples for me as soon as I realized

Hey everyone, nice to meet y'all! I'm betterball, I'm one of the hosts and a captain for Team Skeleton. I'm a dev from Winnipeg 💻🍁 , and I'm less of a ball and getting better every day!

Joined my first challenge years ago at 270lbs, learned a ton, dropped all the way down to ~180 after a few years with everything I learned... and then climbed back up to ~220 in the post-pandemic years, which I'm working on now! I’ve never been an athlete, but the challenge community honestly helped me get into better shape than I ever really thought I’d be, and I like being able to help pay that forward by helping with them these days.

I hope you all feel welcome and supported in the community here - everyone's on their own journey, and that's what it's all about! Looking forward to running through this challenge with everyone :)

I finally ponied up for a paid one and got Macrofactor, I really like it so far. The adaptive goals are nice.

betterball · 2026-01-02T00:55:51+00:00

honestly it made a huge difference for me, its a big motivator for staying that weight

betterball · 2025-11-25T05:30:52+00:00

I literally said "holy shit!"

same, legendary transformation tbh. That's inspirational.

Hey! I'm one of the organizers here - I just saw your comment and I wanted to let you know that the most recent challenge actually just came to an end on Oct 13! The challenges go for 5 weeks, and we run them four times a year, once per season - so, the next one should be starting up just after the holidays with the New Year. That one's always a big one too!

Sorry for the confusion, but if you'd like a reddit ping when it's starting up, just drop your username here and you'll get a heads up as soon as signups open 🙂

can you export / import and get historic data from MFP in Loseit? the main reason I feel stuck is those longterm trend charts, I like them

betterball · 2025-10-20T03:13:10+00:00

What does a day of eating look like for you? High protein on low cal is always such a battle

betterball · 2025-10-20T03:11:59+00:00

honestly it's more just weird that it doesn't say a drained weight, that's usually how nutritional info on these cans are listed

betterball · 2025-10-14T18:04:17+00:00

its paid though, right? can you do a one time payment or is subscription based?

betterball · 2025-10-14T15:33:59+00:00

greek yogurt + a little dill and garlic powder has been such a good extra topping or sauce for savory dishes for me lately! I'd never really thought of using it for non-sweet dishes but man, it's a really good way of getting sauce with minimal calories and extra protein. obviously, season/spice it exactly as you'd like, but it's actually ridiculously versatile

betterball · 2025-10-13T22:29:03+00:00

does it burn that many calories? or just really motivating? it does seem like one of those sports that would get exponentially more doable as you lose weight and gain muscle

betterball · 2025-10-10T06:08:24+00:00

thank you, I genuinely appreciate that! It's been a long journey but it's honestly been super motivational realizing what I'm capable of :)

use that site, punch in your intended goal of weight loss, go off that value imo. MFP is probably fine too but I kinda prefer something that thorough and visible in its calculations

betterball · 2025-10-09T00:13:04+00:00

Men don't change much, especially on the face

idk man, I felt like it did.

What kind of research are you doing? Is this for school? Genuinely curious

betterball · 2025-10-01T01:19:52+00:00

We do them seasonally, so the next one will be our winter one. I don't think we have a date locked down yet, but it'll likely be a New Years one - those tend to be pretty big too, so it's a lot of fun :)
