Thanks!

Thanks!

Yep, but you look mad buff. Is that volume okay for a person who isn't where you are? I can squat my weight for 8, I have injured shoulders so bench is my weakness.. I do narrow grip bench, body weight for 8 (body weight 175 lb) Overhead press 125, Deadlift 200. I do a warmup three work sets. I am presently not going to…

Thank you. I'll check it.

Great idea! I joined on a friend's recommendation and I have learned tons. I am pretty consistent with my recording of exercise and diet. I hope to lose two more inches off my waist and then focus on gaining some lean tissue. My goal is to lose the inches desired in two months. Please add me.

The buildings were wrecked. The streets were clean. Trams were running (at least in that portion of the city that was filmed) The people smoked. Alot. The German cops' uniforms were the same colour as the German army uniforms. The kids were cute. The civilian men were shot up-missing legs, eye patches, etc.

I haven't heard of meta fit. Looked it up and it's bodyweight circuit training. Cool. I do daily circuit training, too. You will likely receive many opinions answering your question on this board. Here is mine: Things like meta fit are better than low level aerobic exercise such as cycle/jog for 45 minutes for helping a…

Amazing posts!

You are right to be concerned. Because at 50 you have a very different physiology than a younger guy. Not sure it even makes sense to go up a great deal. After all if you were to gain 5 pounds of lean tissue in the year the amount of extra calories would amount to few bites of Apple per day. I am not sure that the…

Good luck. I started on March 31 after a year and one half off. You can check my approach as my page on MFP is public. I do 3 days a week full body lifting. Compound movements like deadlifts, rack pulls, overhead press, pullups, bench press, rows. I do a daily conditioning routine like circuit training for 30 minutes,,,and…

Weigh once a week. Take your waist measurement every morning before you eat. Weigh your food to ensure caloric deficit. Stop eating several hours before you go to bed.

@herrspoons No, "brah" I am not. (As I have said at several points in this string. No affiliation. Don't buy the shakeology stuff. I just think that the it's a good program. ) There is no one true way to fitness. The arguments of folks like mccindy72 are illogical. The argument that you don't have anything to do on the…

mccindy2 you state "And no, you can't correctly build muscle while in a fat burning and weight loss state. While in a calorie deficit, you are losing fat and some lean muscle. In order to build muscle and add to overall muscle mass, you must be eating in a calorie surplus to give your body the excess building materials to…

Holy cow! The vitriol spewed by most posters reminds me of people arguing about religion. On the 22nd day you do what you bloody want. You can do the course again, or you can do something else. It seems the persons who pooh pooh 21 Day Fit on MFP are very fit people for the most part. Not everyone is as focused on fitness.…

I like it. The marketing is focused on women. However, it's a good program. If you have a food scale you can skip using the tupperware that comes with the program. I started 21 Day Fix with the tupperware (you have colored coded boxes for carbs, starches, protein, oils etc) but then I found this site and bought a scale and…

You state you lost over thirty inches! That's amazing. I agree that if you have a food scale using MFP to track food is easier than using 21 Day Fix tupperware. Nevertheless, you almost certainly lost fat. You may have gained muscle which is why your weight varied so little. If you lost a couple inches off your waist or a…

At your weight you should not run. You will injure yourself.once you have an overuse injury you will be really hard pressed to reach your goals. I strongly suggest you check out the videos of Bret Contreras on YouTube. He is an excellent trainer who focuses on training women. You need to do strength exercises – –…

You should google Bret Contreras. He has a lot of YouTube vids on female weight training for butt, legs etc. But looking fit is 75 percent diet. You gotta count em.

Hi Karenjhouser and csteuter, I am doing what Karen is doing. I started with the food boxes from 21 day fix and moved quickly to weighing all my food. The main reason I did that is I wanted to ensure I was eating a healthy but modest amount of food.if I didn't have a scale I definitely use the 21 day fix Tupperware. I…

Can anyone help me? I need directions on how to get to the post. Not the comments. I'd like to read it.
