20 More Pounds
I honestly just want to lose 20 more lbs but I feel like I'm just not going anywhere. The place I work at is very physical. I lift 50 lb bags pretty much for 12 hours 5 days a week. I try to stay around 1000 calories. I started out at 250 lbs roughly and I'm in the 160s now. My ultimate goal is the 130s but I would be…

Exercise logging question
Exercise logging doesn't seem to be very flexible. My goal is 100 or more pull-ups per week. The days, sets, and reps per set vary depending on how I feel. But the logging interface is very rigid - you have to set up an exercise with a specified number of reps and sets, while mine vary all over the place. Similarly, I do a…
