1 lbs of muscle weights exactly the same as 1 lbs. of fat.. both are 1 lbs. but muscle is more dense than fat, as pointed out in a post. But again the issue is really weight loss verses fat loss. Remember 3500 calories measures 1 lbs of fat so unless you ate 3500 x 4 you wouldn't have gained any fat and it's likely water…

I've been strict and on track for about one month and am cruising in a week...so the goal is to eat and enjoy but not derailing...

lol@Sergeant....I'm with you on being pro science.

I find it interesting that when someone posts about being gluten free, be it by choice prompted by a medical condition and sensitivity, or just simply wanting to eliminate gluten from their diets but without any medical basis; that people have to chime in with bizarre comments showing they are the patron saints of…

I'm down 13 lbs and people can notice. Depends on the person losing, the persons noticing or not and people's willingness to comment. As long as you can see results then you are on the right track...~!~

anyone can add me too. I'm about one month in with MFP. All good.

Try to focus more on fat loss rather than weight loss. Weight does tend to fluctuate if you retain fluids for a number of reasons ie too much sodium and otherwise....actual fat lbs whether gained or lost are measured by 3500 calories. So unless you ate more than 3500 calories you didn't gain any fat weight so your 1.5 lbs…

Hey, just noticed you replied to my post. I'm loving mine too. I picked up a new LS 14 and it's great. For triceps I use the top and remove the seat. Older models won't allow removal of the seat/bench but you can move it to the side. Glad you're liking the gym. I'm learning what more I can do on it and am starting to get a…

Phoenix....think we got to 74 today, 81 the other day woot woot

Great job Stogie, your hard work, discipline and motivation is truly inspiring and nothing short of amazing. Congrats on all your success. Way to go man !

Agreed.

Although this detours somewhat from the OP, and given that there is some discussion about this, I'm wondering where I land in terms of categories and labels. I love meat and ate it freely all my life but over the past three years have only been eating fish and eggs in terms of meat etc. That said, it's not exactly…

We have the Vitamix 5200 and use it all the time. Truly an amazing appliance. Expensive but top notch

Interesting, I was logging the weightlifting but it wasn't showing up as any burn, which made no sense but at least it gave a log to chart somewhat. So calisthenics is the way to log this...~!~

Anyone can add me as well B)

While those numbers can be discouraging I would agree with all of those that posted on here. Weight loss does equal a decrease in lbs but remember it is a long term strategy. Also keep your eye on experiencing long term fat loss verses weight loss because weight can change with those factors identified here. Fat loss or…

ok good to know....the originator deactivated the account and it seemed fairly quiet but people are still around

Welcome to MFP, feel free to add

Greets from Phoenix ...

This is my first time with MFP and so far so good. And, while the concept of weight loss is fairly simple and straightforward ie fewer calories in = fewer lbs, the challenge is with discipline, consistency and motivation. Don't be discouraged because that doesn't lead to any meaningful results. But it would help all of us…

same here

from BC and living in the USA....always getting told I have an accent with the oot and aboot and of course the eh. life is a highway.....

Rock concert Sunrise or sunset?

It sounds like you are getting your cardio from the exercises you noted in your post. You are likely best doing those things that keep you motivated and give you results rather than doing something you despise or are otherwise disinterested. Just stay on course... best of luck ~!~
