My wife of 20 years.

Welcome. I'm not hungry. I eat a lot of protein and drink a lot of water. Good luck. I hope you accomplish what you want to.

Stop eating junk food and do something today that your tomorrow's self will thank you for.

Curious, how do you do circuit training with pole dancing?

When my plate is empty, Mom says I can get up.

I am glad I can love and my family and friends know I love them (sounds silly, but some people may not feel it and have a harder time expressing it). I am glad I still am healthy enough to be getting in shape.

Congrats Vismal! You've inspired me, too. So, you may have answered this question for someone else, but I am trying to keep the muscle I have and just lower my body fat percentage. As far as exercise, I am alternating days for upper/lower body (lifting pretty heavy with short rests between sets and not over-training) and…

In order to keep succeeding, you have to keep getting up when you fall. Get up and keep going.

If losing weight and looking super hot was revenge, then you sure did not fail. Either way, you look great and definitely are proof what hard work and a strict diet can do.

Back from Natural Bridge. It felt like an interval session. The stairs - where there are stairs - are uneven in height and width, so it makes it challenging. Going down the path really can challenge the quads. Coming up is tough. A nice challenge. Hiking can really be a good workout.

Couple this with making sure you are getting enough water, and you will likely have to work hard at meeting your calorie goals (at least, that has been my experience).

Funniest post of the day!

❚█══█❚ Great answer.

Thank you, harlequin0318. That is one assumption I really haven't questioned, yet: whether the ratios are right. I just thought if a person had enough protein, you will probably not lose muscle, but maybe too many calories in deficit will not stop the muscle loss. If dropping the steady state cardio (40 minutes) and just…

Totally true. I am just restricting the idea to steady state cardio - like staying at the anaerobic threshold for 45 minutes... endurance type of cardio. As long as our hearts are beating, everything is a cardio activity, like you say.

Again, the assumption already stated in the OP was there was no over-training, and whether the 600 cal deficit came from my butt or yours is irrelevant. Whether you are a fortune teller or not is also irrelevant, too. Let's drop the exact number of calories making up the deficit and assume that there is just a deficit and…

You are not a cow. My wife, too, felt the same about herself, and she went to a doctor and NMD, and we found out her thyroid was low. Some of her other hormones were a little out of wack. For a while, it was really sad, I was scared I was going to lose her. She was depressed and angry and sleeping a lot and just didn't…

You were beautiful then and now. Congrats on reaching your weightloss goals. Great job!

Darn, I really was looking for a fortune teller (not), or at least someone who may have lost body fat and kept their muscle instead of just losing weight and ending up a skinnier version of a once fatter self - something I am trying to avoid becoming. I am more interested in decreasing a body fat percentage. Thank you for…

You can choose your friends and your attitude about your weight. Get new friends and get a new attitude.

Humm... let's see. I can sit here and just get fatter and more out of shape and more miserable, or I can get my *kitten* up and exercise, eat good, and feel better. Which choice will your tomorrow's self thank you for. Stop, and just do it.

Those brownies sure look good.

Thank you much. Those look like they don't cost much, are comfortable, and will stay in your ears. I think I will give those a try. Yurbuds - Ironman Series Headphones - Black

It can't be said enough: the ones you can have fun doing. If you don't like it, you won't do it for long.

Hey cool kids! I want to be cool, too, so I am a newbie posting for the first time in this thread. Turn that "like a virgin" song off, please. I just moved in from O-B-City. I lost a little junk moving here. I am a father of 3 cool kids and a husband of 20 years to a cool wife. My goal is to get my bodyfat down, keep my…

I knew this would be a battle of the experts. To Snickers or not to Snickers - that is the question (snickering).

In real life, junk food is still junk.

Oh boy, this is going to be a long thread! Happy Halloween everyone! If my wife has that one outfit on and the candy in the right spots, I might be really bad tonight.

Oh boy, this is going to be a long thread!
