:o sometimes!!!

EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY!!!!!!!! :'( :'( :'(

Ahhh! Ok! I understood what you described but I went to YouTube to see, also. Thank you for clearing that up for me. Yes, it's always laying around in this corner of the gym and has weights on it. I really don't understand why people don't put things back from where they got them. Not only is it good gym etiquette it's…

Congratulations! :) You look your age now. In the "before" picture you look much older. Now you're young and hottt ;)

I know! 😄 And if we’re needing to stay in a deficit it would be great to know if we did burn extra calories from all that work. :/

This is what I’m working on, and why I posted the question. I have fat to burn so I was asking about the extra calories burned because I need to stay in a 20% deficit.

That's disappointing too. EPOC is basically something to not waste your time thinking about! Yes!! I want more food but gotta maintain that deficit. The more calories burned the better.

Yeah just focus on staying in 20-25% deficit. The excess weight should come back off pretty soon.

I think the "make it a routine" idea works. My daughter's bedtime is 9:00pm and I started going to bed at that time too. Now it's just what we do! Though I get up at 4:00am to get to the gym by 5:00am and she gets up at 7:00am. :p Try getting ready for bed when your kids are getting ready and hit the hay right after they…

Well that's disappointing ;) the news about EPOC, not the Fitbit. That's what I expected really. I shall keep on with my post-lifting cardio. I was wanting to get rid of cardio but I need the extra calories burned so I can eat more.

From what I've read you definitely need to be changing up your programs. When one ends, start another. Our muscles like the change. You can find free programs on https://www.muscleandstrength.com/

I started feeling a sore throat on Friday but I went to the gym anyway. Saturday, same thing. Sunday, same thing. I did make sure to not touch my nose before touching anything else, though I clean the equipment (even dumbbells and barbells) before and after. Never turned into a full-blown cold so I'm glad I didn't skip the…

I started with these. :) https://www.idealfit.com/idealfit-challenges.list

Do you have an iPhone? Maybe it happened after the update we did a few months ago? My Fitbit won't notify me when I receive texts anymore and I hate it!!!!!!! I know, it's a First World Problem ;)

Good for you! Keep it up!! :) What helps me is to keep in mind this lifestyle needs to be permanent: making good food choices in most situations and exercising almost every day, for the rest of my life! I find I am super duper lazy when I'm not exercising and when I'm not exercising I don't care about my macros, or…

I do, thank you. However I'm talking about about general health. IIFYM is a problem because it leads people to believe IIFYM, you're good to go.

A cheeseburger by itself can be healthy, that's why I said the answer is no. This OP guy eats nothing but fast food. I was trying to illustrate that these things, by themselves, are not necessarily "unhealthy" but if you cram them with other foods just like them they ARE.

Obviously the answer is no. But if you're only eating 3-5 cheeseburgers a day to hit your macros that's going to affect your health in a not-good way.

Absolutely!! Just saying that the vegan lifestyle is not automatically more healthy. Just pointing out there are bad choices that are vegan. Mayo/veganaise is not a good fat choice like avocados, nuts, olive oil, or coconut oil.

Good sleuthing!

Yeah, I don't think that's right. Four people disagreed with me cause, they do. I went though and reread everything. Before I asked why we're not urging him to eat healthier, she's the only one. Well, other than myself and -that- post sure did get a lots of "disagrees". :D

@Pamela_Sue is the only person who tried to help this man come away from the fast food.

I do agree that this man switching to a completely healthy diet would be drastic. But I don't know why we can't suggest eating only one serving of french fries and not two and let's not eat the sugary fried donuts.. Those are small changes that can make a big difference.

I agree with you, I do. I just think we should say "Most likely it's inaccurate logging but it wouldn't hurt to add some veggies and healthier foods into your diet."

"vegan" doesn't mean "healthy". Prime example: Veganaise.

Well you know, eating 1,500 calories of junk isn't going to prevent heart disease and diabetes...but what do we know!
