I also make all my fish the same way. I've used this with cod, haddock, and tilapia. It's quick and easy. Simply brush the fish with the oil of your choice and sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. McCormick makes a good one. I have to watch salt in my diet, so I use the Mrs. Dash which is also very good. Do the oil and…

The chicken and egg dilemma finally resolved!

A month has gone by since your original post. How are your results now?

Awesome job. On all three fronts. That's a lot of stuff to turn around. As for the 50ish more, now that you've seen what you can do those will be no problem. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!

Thank you, and snazzy reference.

I just got cheap plastic calipers and I do it myself. I may not be measuring in the perfect spots, but I do measure the same spots every time consistently. The numbers are going down, so I'm happy with that. I calculate out the BF% from the measurements just for fun, but I don't know how accurate it is. For me, it doesn't…

I built a playlist where all the songs are the same number of beats per minute (bpm) using this site as a reference: http://jogtunes.com/jtc/jtctuneslist.php. I run in time with the beat and it keeps my cadence consistent.

Recently hit 365 day streak, add me if you want!

I followed the advice in this thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach/p1

I have the vitamix and love it, but it is expensive. I was at a friend's house and she had a fancy ninja with lots of blades in it. It seemed to handle ice just as well as the vitamix. My issue with that ninja model is that the carafe and covers are hard plastic and everything has to interlock perfectly for the motor to…

This is good advice. I have enjoyed some beach body workouts, although I have not tried 21DF. I recently noticed beach body offers unlimited streaming of all their stuff for a monthly fee via their website. I don't recall the price. Perhaps you can get the scale and the workouts!

My story is similar to yours. Of course, I'm a guy and that makes a difference. I've been doing "that" (eating at maintenance and training) and I'm now in my fifth week. It seems to be working, slowly, but working. I'm trying to lose that last little bit of fat. Add me if you want!

COMMANDER (ENTJ-T) Seemed about right. I answered truthfully, but for many questions there was an answer that I found more appealing than the truth. I've been working to make these more appealing answers the truth (and for some questions, I already have!).

I have been dealing with self control issues in my life by trying to be more intentional. I do this by putting whatever it is I'm about to do to the question "will this take me closer to or further from my goals?" Usually when I think of things that way I can stop myself from doing the things that will take me further from…

5 lbs, 500 lbs, it's still lifting skating sounds like fun!

Mmmm seasonal reese's...the perfect chocolate/peanut butter ratio! Congrats on the 26 pounds! Was up 10 (without any reese's trees...more's the pity!), it's almost gone already. C'mon, y'all, just keep tracking! You'll blast those holiday pounds and a bunch more!

Really nice job. I'm struck by your face between the first and last picture. Congratulations! For what it's worth, I say go for the ripped look if you like it. You've already accomplished more than you initially thought possible, may as well find the ceiling! Awesome work!

I also use a heart rate monitor to get calorie burn estimates, although honestly I don't do much with the estimate. The one I use automatically logs the exercise in my diary. It's important to me that my log shows that the exercise happened. I don't eat back the calories. I do however love all the data my monitor provides,…

I have done a BodPod test. It was simple enough; get in and breathe normally. I'm not sure what it measures exactly, but I believe what it measures directly is body density. From there a mathematical model is used to predict body fat percentage. In my case, the Brozak algorithm was used. My test was a few years ago and I…

I can't tell you why but somehow I expected this! You still got it!

and "incinerated." Trinity of destruction...

So many good ones! "Shed" was my initial thought. I like the aggressive ones: ditched, dumped, kicked to the curb, evicted, annihilated (extra points for spelling; that's a tough one!). Love terminated! Can't wait to see the new movie! The polite "yes, we've parted ways indefinitely" is fantastic! John gets the award for…

That's a pretty fine hair to split in this context. I'm sure the comment was not meant to imply that the fat magically turned into muscle. The OP said she also added yoga and pilates. Even without that it is not unreasonable to expect that she probably built a little muscle in her legs in response to the running. If she…

I get what you're saying. I'm at 120+, open diary, but mostly quiet. Add me if that works for you!

The only thing I could think of to get an absolute (as opposed to relative to yourself or others) assessment was some kind of fitness test you could do. I did a web search and found a few, here is one example: sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_articles.asp?id=1112. For my own personal opinion, I've read a lot of your posts.…

I had one on the weekend. Was shopping for clothes, saw a nice dry fit polo on sale and picked out a large, which is new for me as it is (i've been XL or worse for years). Then I noticed it was athletic fit. Having only recently been squeezing into larges I figured that would be a deal breaker, but tried it on anyway. Not…

Hi there from Wilmington!

@slimzandra Thanks! I'll look for those

Yes, you can turn it back on. The problem comes in when I'm cutting up veggies especially. I'll cut some, add those, cut some more, and it turned off. So then I have to pick out what I put in so far, re-tare, and start over. I know, learn to cut faster. Alas, the tax...

Thanks I'll take a look!
