with 420 in the title I thought this would about smoking weed for some reason

lentil soup, toast, tomato for lunch, apples and a protein shake for bkfst

I weigh myself every day, dry and on an empty stomach. my weight easily fluctuates by 3 lbs per day. ..so I don't put too much faith into it...just the general trend

I've gotten down from "plump" to "well fed"

you should definetely watch your sodium and limit it to 2 g/day. with high bp look into the DASH diet. also talk to your cardiologist so that you understand your condition better, maybe take a parent or a trusted friend to the appointment with you.

I count it as calisthenics. ..

I think you will lose some muscle no doubt and might be feeling more tired than you would expect

I'm minimizing sugar (except in my morning coffee) and salt for the last few months, the other day I had a small cup of ice cream and WOW it was almost unbearably sweet. Went to a company picnic and loaded my hamburger with about 5 pieces of lettuce, 3 slices of tomatos, onions, etc. It was an average dice quarter pounder…

excellent work mate!

good job mate!

was 1700 you basal metabolic energy requirement? it certainly depends on your weight, height, sex, age. My 90 year old grandma who's 4'10" can get by on 1000 kcal per day easily. I can't though :-)

Talking as a guy, I would not care much if you lost 50 pounds before. There's nothing negative in that. it shows you are health conscious and motivated.

what is a "spoonie"?

there's a recipe for a protein mouse that I found: 6 oz almond milk 3 Tbsp egg white 1.5 cup frozen strawberry 3 scoops whey powder combine together and mix with a tabletop mixer for about 6-8 minutes. (don't use a blender!) the resulting mousse is 450-500 calories but is extremely filling. (feels like earing 1500 calories…

yep I've had -1400 calorie days and +3500 calorie days, so no big deal

Just started being mostly vegetarian, last 1 to 2 months, seems to be working well. However, was quiet gassy initially.

Distance wise cycling is more efficient (lwss calories burned per mile). However time wise jogging and cycling burns about the same amount of calories for me (700-900/hr) depending on speed. And I can cycle longer (3+ hrs) at a time than jog (about 1 hr). However my butt gets sore on long rides even with a soft seat and…

looking good buddy, in the first picture you look like you're about 10 minutes away from a heart attack, in the second one you are totally diesel

looking great!

I weigh myself every day, first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom, I like to monitor the day to day fluctuations in my weight, but I don't get upset if my weight goes up by 1 or 2 or 3 pounds, it's the general trend line (over a period of several weeks) I'm looking at.

consider medical tourism. you can probably get the same surgery, including airfare, hotel stay, etc. at a reputable foreign, english speaking medical center in asia or south America for under $5000. Google medical tourism / plastic surgery online. make sure you find a well reviewed, reputable clinic/medical center.

half a pound is nothing...my weight fluctuates by 4 pounds per day easily

I think you should cut your calories, I'm a 5 foot 8 190 pound guy and I eat about as many calories as you...but I'm losing about 2 to 3 pounds per week

I just slice them up into 1/4 inch or so slices and grill / lightly fry (max 1 tsp of oil on a pan) them with Pam and sprinkle some salt on them and after they're done on both sides eat them with a bit of reduced fat sour cream (30 Cal/Tbsp). Just like my grandma used to make.

add me !

not an expert by far but I think hypertrophy refers to lifting heavy at low set/rep ranges in order for the muscles to get bigger quickly, as opposed to more reps with lower weights for other strength training
