  • 1-hour leg work-out 15 min weighted cardio
  • Oh cool. That works great. Thanks!
  • Weight lifting for about 60minutes (mostly shoulder, traps, back, triceps, abs) and about 15-20min of weighted cardio.
  • Due to a sore shoulder, took Saturday and Sunday off to rest and took it a bit easy on Friday. Odd thing is, when I weighed myself today (Monday), my scale said I lost 1.8lbs since last weigh in (Friday). This doesn't seem right as I didn't do anything all weekend. How could it be so much in just 3 days? Maybe lost some…
  • I have a bunch of old t-shirts, button up shirts, and nice/dress shirts in my closet I would really like to get back into. We'll see...
  • My shoulder's been a little sore...not sure what happened... So, took Saturday and today (Sunday) for rest days. Feeling restless though. Might try back at it tomorrow.
  • I've been losing 2lbs (on average) the past 2 or so months on 1990 cal a day. I try to hit that each day. Of course, I'm a man and I work out 3-4 times a week. I don't expect it will last at that rate as I get closer to my goal...which I'm fine with. I imagine your loss will depend on your how active you are, you…

  • Currently sitting at 60 days.
  • That's probably a really smart idea. I've seen other threads on here, where, people get close to their goal weight...within 10lbs or so...and can't seem to drop them (and post here wondering what's going on?). When others ask if they weigh their foods, like me, they say they don't. I'm going to need to do that. Good…
  • Right. Based on my other replies, I agree. I'm not going to worry about body fat % so much. Too much to get right to get an accurate reading. And thanks for letting me know about the calories. I might try to be a stickler about getting to at least 1990/2000 calories each day...just so I don't, at some point, starve…
  • Right. Based off what you and others wrote, I'm going to disregard this metric. I don't have the patience or....obsessiveness?....to control all those aspects to get perfect readings every time. I'm fine with really tracking weight, waist size, BMI... And, I've been taking a photo/selfie once a week (no big change yet,…
  • Right. Based on what you've written and the other below you, I'd really need to strictly control all conditions to get accurate readings. I'm just using a regular house scale. And, my weigh times are different all the time. I'm not sure I want to control things that precisely. That number isn't that worth it to me, lol!…
  • Thanks! We'll see. Hoping for the best.
  • Hello. Just checking-in. Doing cardio this week (somewhat light) instead of regular weight work-out as I'm going to change up my routine and thought I'd go lighter between them. Normally do 80 minute work-outs with mostly heavy weights. Today just 45 minutes with 2lb weights (lol). Hopefully come back at next week…
  • Ohio USA
  • I probably should. I just worry that if I don't at least do something, whatever it is, on my work-out days during a rest week, I will fall out of my routine and/or my routine will be harder to get back into the following week. Maybe this worry is over-blown in my mine though...
  • 2x30 minute light cardio routine with light dumbbells on Youtube 1x15 minute weighted cardio with heavier weights on Youtube (Normally do a weight routine with heavier weights, but, trying to give myself a "rest" week before I start a different/new weight regimen next week.)
  • Kinda superficial, but, want to be able to fit into my old t-shirts and jeans again and be able to show off a little physique and muscle.
  • I've lost between a Bald Eagle and 10 dozen eggs. I hope to lose about "amount of cheese an average American eats in a year" more.
  • I have depression and anxiety. I take meds for it and see a therapist now and again. These have helped me, I think. Other than these I have started working out (since January). For me, this has lifted my mood/depression significantly. I wish it would have touched my anxiety though (and obsessive worry a bit). I haven't…
  • Hey. Thanks for the response and advice. Appreciate it. Right. I think adding the protein helped. I'd try to just eat more, but, feels like I'm forcing down if I try too hard. I agree too, I probably shouldn't expect my rate to last. That's ok. I want to make this a long change/life-time change...so keeping it at 2lbs a…
  • Hey, I'd like to add here, if I can. I'm 41 (42 this year). Started working out and using MFP again at end of January. I've lost about 13lbs thus far...about 2lb a week...hope it's not too fast. At about 195lbs now. Hope to lose about 30 more (initially 208lb to about 165lbs). I lift weights 3 days a week with different…
  • I'm a sucker for the coffee too. I used to use a sweet creamer but I've gone to just cream because my sugar and calories were consistently too high with it. The creamer I'm using now is 1/3rd the calories of the extra thick and sweet one I was using. It's ok. I do miss the sweetness in my coffee some times, but, learning…
  • Hey. I'm just a 41 y.o. male from north eastern/mid-west USA (Ohio). Trying to get in shape to lift mood, increase energy, and bring down blood pressure & pulse. Also wouldn't mind losing some weight to fit back into some old clothing and look better.
  • First goals are get into the 170lb range and to keep consistent on my work-out routine through May. I'm in the 190lbs now...so 20 more to go about. But, before that, my consistency through spring. My last work out routine lasted only 3months. I saw results but quit. Now that I'm back at it, I want to surpass 3 months of…
