Truth. I swear I could be 135# and I'd still have some padding at 4 and 6pm. Great work tho bro.

I can't believe summer's almost gone :( My favorite time of year. Didn't really achieve my fitness goals due to jacking up my elbow but I am definitely leaner than I was on labor day! How did you do?

Welcome. There's not a huge amount of traffic on this forum but we're nice folks

What approximate percentage of your diet is protein? I just read in what looked to be a pretty scientific study that if you are trying to cut fat, you should be consuming about 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight, and that different types of proteins are metabolized at different rates, but it didn't explain how…

I've just been reading about it in the past few days and am curious to try it. Why don't we start a group if there isn't one?

Marathon day today... was up at 6, drove an hour to meet friends at a state park where we did a long hike, BBQd and then I took my paddleboard out. Lots of fun and I'm down almost ten pounds for the week... it'll be back but still cool.

All the sudden that thing is everywhere, but I heard about it first on MFP, quite a long time ago!

Welcome to the funny farm. Sounds like a great day!

BF's grandmother wanted Boston Market for her birthday dinner (not awful although salty, can be planned for and compensated for with extra hydration) but then she ambushed us with coconut custard pie when we got back to her place. She's 86 and having surgery next week, so I caved. But with some extra laps still only up a…

Back from vacation. Ran intervals last night since we spent half the day on our butts in the Jeep. Need food! Haven't been to the store yet since I dove right into work. So stoked because the boyfriend unit said "we should eat healthy this week!" (this never happens) so I think I will just walk to the fruit-and-veg and get…

On vacation with a bunch of sedentary, overindulging friends. Please send impulse-control energy.

I'll just keep babbling in here since nobody else is. We had a nice weekend away up in Vermont. Didn't get a lot of exercise other than walking, and paid for it on the scale, but it was worth it. My dude doesn't get alot of time off. Back to the weights last night, paying for my sins LOL.

Just put a weekend on the AT on my calendar for later this summer, looking forward to it.

You can also mix it up a bit til you get to the gym by doing variations ... feet on a chair, hands on a chair, wider or closer grip, etc.

Yes, I'm in North Jersey. I have a goal to walk the West Side from the GWB to Bowling Green this summer.

Hey team, sorry I have been neglectful in posting but NOT in staying active, so hopefully all-y'all will forgive me. Weight is basically the same but if you look at the new torso shot I posted in my profile I think the muffin tops have shrunk a bit and chest is a little more defined. Wish I could figure out how to square…

That is great. Congratulations!
-
Sorry I have been off here for a while but want to get back to it. Glad to add you if you like.
-
Cool! I thought I lost my ersatz-Fitbit, but then remembered where I hid it. I'm really not the only person who talks in here, I swear.

Hoping everyone is enjoying what remains of summer, it ain't over yet! :) I got the SO to walk two miles with me yesterday, and then after the gym I knocked out another one, albeit at a snail's pace, just because it was nice out.
-
Welcome to the group, it is a great crowd. I have been neglectful the past week or so but I am glad to see how much progress folks are making.
-
Oh, and happy anniversary!

If you did a lot of restaurant eating, much of those 4 pounds could be salt-induced retention which will go away quickly. If the same trainer is doing your measurements (calipers?) and using the same instrument that is about as apples-to-apples as you can expect. There is something called displacement that is supposedly…
-
Congratulations I'm sure it was well-deserved.
-
Yes photos and how your clothes are fitting are two ways to compare. Don't be upset if your weight goes up until you know what's causing it... by volume muscle weighs more than fat so you could be slimming down and still gaining pounds.
-
How do you guys compare size-wise, and how many calories are you eating on average?
-
This is always a puzzle... how are clothes fitting? If they are getting looser, is it in the areas where you have fat to lose? This is simple enough for a guy (sort of) but may be more complicated for women. If you have access to a competent personal trainer they may be able to measure it for you, but the caliper method is…

Got up the nerve to wear one of my vented t-shirts to the gym, and of course there is a guy there with absolutely SICK arms that made mine look like balloon animals.... oh well, you're only in competition with yourself... right????

After an all-day dentist appointment I think my dinner would be vodka in a straw!
