My son and I have the vivosmart and like them, but both of the screens started to loose pixels after about 8 months. They still record data correctly but it's hard to read text on the screen.

I see a lot of posts about how many people die each year of the flu and how much lower your risk is of getting GBS...I personally have never known anyone that has died of the flu or know anyone that has told me they lost someone to flu. I do have a friend that lost his brother to GBS though. I'm just curious, because I see…

I have never gotten one. The only time I've gotten the flu was in 2nd grade. I have a friend that lost his brother to GBS after getting a flu shot. Since then I do not allow my son to get a flu shot.

27 hours with stops for gas, no extra pee breaks. 15 hours straight through, no gas stops or pee breaks. Last long trip was to CO in a Jeep, 19 hours and 7 stops for gas. :neutral:

I've got elbow tendinitis (not a bb) mine is from tricep to elbow. Doesn't hurt to pull but anything pushing hurts, been like this for 5 years. I'm beginning to think it will not heal completely without surgery. Hope PT works for you.

I'm like vingogly, I prefer dark meat better. But for chicken breast I usually smoke them but will occasionally put them in the oven. If I put them in the oven, I bake them at 225-240 degrees for about an hour. I check them with a thermometer and if their over 155* I take them out. Never dry and safe enough to eat.

Cholesterol will read higher when your tested if you are actively in a calorie deficit. (trying to loose weight as opposed to maintaining)

If the OP is really 195 and 15% BF - he has some awesome genetics or has been taking illegal stuff to get where he's at. Somebody that is 195 and 15% BF doesn't need help learning to cut - sounds like trolling or your way off on your BF estimation. That's 166lb of LBM and you should have softly defined abs at your current…

Might want to see a doctor about it but from what I've been told by my doctor is - if it hurts, stop

Like others have said. You don't have to exercise to loose weight. Log your calories and adjust how many calories your eating by how much weight you loose or gain. MFP will give you a baseline but it might be higher or lower for you. When you make a change to your calories, give yourself 2-3 weeks at the same calories…

Sometimes I won't log onions or bell pepper that I put on something but some of those things can add up. If you have 260 lbs to lose, you can probably eat a lot of calories in fruits and vegetables. Just to be safe, I would log them all for at least a few months. Then as you stall and are getting closer to your goal…

You will get several opinions on this. I battle high BP so I try to watch my sodium. I also try to prepare a lot of my own food so I can control the amount of sodium that goes in my food. Lately I've been eating canned beans and really need to start preparing my own so I can lower the sodium. Soups are easy to make and you…

I can't run, but hike in Injinji toesocks and will never go back to a regular cotton sock.

Just a note, I think you said early on that you started back up a couple weeks ago - steroids (like Prednisone) will make you retain water - a lot of water.

I work in IT and have had the same issues. I had enough freedom to bring my lunch and eat it before or after going out. When I went out, most places allowed me to eat off the kids menu. That saved some money and portions were usually smaller.

I didn't look at the link but I recommend good trail shoes instead of hiking boots. Don't get water proof shoes, get something that breaths and wear good 100% wool socks (there are different weights of socks). If your wearing something that traps moisture you will get blisters. Make sure you take a blister kit- or at the…

This is what I do as well.

I tend to eat just 3 meals and a snack. I see an advantage to both ways of eating. I think eating "mini" meals throughout the day can help with craving less food at each sitting and can also see where eating 3 bigger meals can leave you more satisfied. I also think 3 meals a day borderlines on an IF type diet.

I used to do this a lot - make breakfast burrito's or my own egg McMuffin. That way you can control the macros and cut some of the cals if you want.

I weigh twice a day, once in the morning, once at night before I go to bed and only log my losses on MFP. On another site, I have started logging my fluctuations because I am getting close to my goal weight.

I don't usually do a pre-workout but last week I tried a monster energy ultra black, and it was pretty good. Worked great as a pre-workout.

I weigh twice a day but have only been recording my "true" losses. Starting this morning, I'm going to record each mornings weight so I can do exactly what you have done.

When I done keto I only counted net carbs.

@call3na - do you have something like a Total Gym or Weider Total Body Works available in the UK?

I only have a "treat" if I've meet my macros for the day. If so, the rest of my calories will be cookies. This only happens a couple times a week but I keep oreos hidden in a cereal box pre weighed just for those occasions.

You should check out the beginner workout programs on the bodybuilding.com website. I would suggest doing a PPL routine. It's a push/pull/leg routine. I do legs with my pull routine so I save 2 days a week working out and I'm doing DLs with back anyway. So I do a modified PPL where it's Pull with Legs on Monday and…

I have lowered mine through diet and exercise. I watch my sodium closely every day. I've heard that you can lower BP 5 points within 2 weeks by just adding 15min of brisk walking 4x to 5x per week.

I don't think I read anyone say - you can't add muscle in a calorie deficit. You can preserve muscle but it's physically impossible to gain.

A calorie deficit is the only thing that will take the fat off. You will probably have to do some type of cut/bulk to get where you want. Adding some body weight squats, one legged squats, lunges, all with intensity, will help preserve some of your muscle while your loosing fat if you keep your protein high enough. But you…

Right, and there should be some sort of appeal process, such as providing your BF%. [/quote] Agreed.[/quote] x2
