everyone's routine looks awesome, happy to see people getting out there and just putting in some work with themselves.

.... sounds like you and I have are into the same work out stuff! MWF: running intervals - 45 mins total/little over 3 miles, pull ups (2x2x2x2x1), pushups (6x6, 3x5), squats (5x20, 3x10 - *variations* single leg, regular squatting with strikes at the top, sometimes kicks/knees, sumo, etc.), 20-30 minutes with my heavy…

Same here. Usually not miserable if I miss a day, but there’s definitely some unease.

Under garments

Height. Love a tall guy lol

Shoulders/triceps, back biceps are what I’ve been focusing on. I’ve tried keeping my abdominals tight as well. I’ll focus more on my chest as well, thank you!

Thank you all so much for the advice!! It’s greatly appreciated :)

Very sorry for your loss.

Honestly.. that's what I do. I doubt it's the only way, but it's generally quicker/easier for me.

Love breakfast for dinner!

I recently upgraded (my broken :/ ) charge to the charge 2, and it seems to be good to go! it should pick up on hikes; good luck!

I would think, that yes, it'd be double tracking, just because you're using two apps that track steps/walking etc. But I've never used two in conjunction like that, so I can't be certain. Try only using Fitbit, or only using Map My Fitness for a few days and see if the expenditure is the same/different.

Its probably because of your activity level in MFP. ( I could be wrong of course) I have mine set to sedentary, and try to get 10k+ steps (so i can see a bigger adjustment), generally, I'll get between 450-550 depending on how far over the 10k mark I went. (5'9, 145). My intake varies, some weeks ill be over my net calorie…

I have the charge 2, (had the charge before), and the estimates have worked for me. I've stayed within the same weight range for some time now. Fitbit may be over estimating, or you may be underestimating your consumption. Only way to tell is to test it. - Weigh/measure foods etc. to be sure your intake is accurate, cut…

Agreed!

I'm not really sure if dieting would cause this. Since you've started, have you slept less, or maybe slept the same amount and you're more active? that may the cause.

5'9 started at 230, pant size about 18, have been at 150/ size 6-8 since about the end of September.

Great post!

Anyone's guess really. My home scale and my doctors scale read the same, but that was probably luck on my end.

Usually saltines or oats for me, only because I tend to lose my appetite for anything else when I'm sick.

Pretty good read!

Sounds like intermittent fasting to me, maybe try researching that and see if it's for you. Agree with the lifestyle comment. Only do what you're willing to commit to for life. As for gaining it all back and then some, maybe, maybe not. Too many factors come into play.

Agree with the above poster. Usually, overtraining is just that: training too much, and/or with too much weight. Give yourself breaks inbetween training days, ensure you're eating enough, getting adequate protein and carbs, enough sleep etc.

Sounds right to me! I've always logged popcorn this way (whole bag) it accounts for the entire bag content; -hasn't had any negative effects on weight loss for me.

Hmm. If you recently replaced the battery, you may need a new chest strap. If that and/or the gel doesn't help, try contacting Polar. They may be able to help more.

I have an ft4, and mine just started doing the same. After a battery change, it was working properly.

Congrats!! That's an amazing accomplishment! :smile:

Lots of recipes online, that's where I went to find a bunch. Or at Least, get a few ideas on what to make. My favorite thing so far, quick and easy is bean burritos. Specifically black bean burritos. High in protein and fiber, and tastes really good. I've also done curries, sweet potato curry being my favorite out of them…

No problem! That sounds pretty good, I may borrow that idea :tongue:
