Tired of being called Big Guy
Is it me? Or do the rest of you want to crush puny little *kitten* when they refer to you as "Hey Big Guy." I don't take it as a term of respect. I have this one short little guy (5'8" if he is on tip toes and in the mid 100s) who has always called me that. I finally started responding in a voice like you would to a three…

Target weight
I set my target weight at 234 partly because I was between 16.5 and 17 stone when I was at my fittest, and partly because on the standard BMI scale 6 foot 2 obese cut off is 233. I have just done my lean body mass calculations on fat2fit and 15% body fat is 231lbs, and my lean body mass is 196lbs, which just happens to be…

Daily Calories
Hey guys, I'm having a little trouble getting started. MFP had me initially at approximately 2700 calories per day, but I thought that seemed a little high. I realize that everyone is different, but I'm wondering if there was a number that worked for any of you guys? Thanks!

Why, hello!
6'5", 352.8 (down from 390 before MFP) It's so nice to be with a group of people who won't sugest starting fat loss / strength building with "some easy pull ups" I've always been huge, so I finally figuered i'd drop the fat, pick up the muscle and look like a beast. I did a 6 month cycle of Stronglifts 5x5 and and now…

Any Fellow ATLiens in the group?
Hey, just wanted to see if anyone from the ATL would like to start an email accountability relationship. I think it would help me if I had someone holding me accountable and I would certainly do the same for you. Maybe we could even meet up for a jog or workout occasionally. If there's more than one that's even better. Any…

High Weight Loss
When you lose 4lbs+ a week is that considered bad? I know when you read things about weight loss they always say losing 1-2 lbs a week is the goal, but is that for people who only need to lose 10lbs? I mean when you are in our situation where some of us need to lose 100lbs+ it can't be bad to drop 4lbs in a week, I would…

Is it bad that...
I never track my exercise. I lift weights 3 days a week and do cardio on those days as well or go on the off days and do an hour of cardio on those days... I don't add the calories back or track how much I burn, though I know when I do cardio alone it is 600-1200 calories every time. I just wonder if it is a negative to…

Wanted to start a topic to see what others are eating. I'm trying hard to stay clean but I work shift work and sometimes get stuck working doubles or odd days so I keep a stock of "Weight Watchers Smart Ones" in my work freezer. So what are you guys eating in your normal day? What do you do incase of emergency? Also when…

Hope you'll let me in.
I'm a freaking dwarf compared to you guys. (5'10") but I did top out at almost 600 lbs a few years ago. Hopefully what I lack in hight I can make up for in circumference.
