I triple dog dare you!

hahaha - made me laugh - but really?

One trimmed brisket (I guess this is the "before" shot)...tomorrow night at 6 PM it will be delicious ;-) In case you are wondering, I trimmed off 2.6 pounds of fat from a 13.6 pound (pre-trimmed weight) brisket. 2.6 pounds of fat is about the size of a cantaloupe. the can of Pam is for scale.

Ummm- not sure if this helps - but I cut 2.6 pounds of fat off a brisket last night while trimming it. It's beef too. I have a picture to prove it. The can of Pam is for scale. Seriously though - figure 50-90 calories an ounce of meat depending on how lean or fatty it was. If it was sauced, stay in the high range. Brisket…

^^^ Agreed! ^^^ Eating more calories slows down the weight loss process.

Yup!

I would. Adjust for your activity level. I gained wait after a recent surgery because I ate the same as always during a long recovery with no exercise.

Duuuude!!! Wow! Keep it up!

I have OP - probably for 5 years. Look in my profile pic for the before / after shot

haha - exactly!

I beg to differ. My math is spot on. Yours, however... ... I am not going to repeat my original post with the math. Scroll up and go through it again. If you still want more corroborating evidence - look it up on MFP - you will find many 9 cal. for a 1 second spray - but of course, that is wrong by one calorie and I proved…

today's ride to Rocheport Tunnel...

No - It's not a surprise that spray oils have calories. What I was pointing out is how misleading the nutrition labels are. Do the math - never trust them.

I gained 9 pounds after 2 surgeries and have lost it already but still need to tune up a bit more. FR sent...

Good morning people. It's Saturday. That means most of you are home from work. So...I am here to tell you to: Go for a walk go to the gym dig in your garden plant a tree get on your bike turn on that Zumba DVD do something - anything but get going no matter what. You always feel better AFTER you do it, even if you didn't…

OP - totally support doing it. I also think the before after side-by-side comparisons are awesome and really motivational.

All of the clocks in the movie Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20.

I got a new toy for my bike called boomBOTTLE (about $80) to replace my Canz808 speaker ($25). I hate wearing headphones. It fits right in my water bottle holder (I use a camel back pack), sounds amazing, and is weather resistant. A 3 hour USB port charge will run it at full volume for 12 hours. The weather looks amazing…

Hello everyone. I hope you do not mind me jumping in. I read a few pages of posts and feel comfortable enough (now) to post as well. I wish I would have found this thread a few weeks ago when I rejoined MFP (I am a veteran that lost 75 pounds). But better late than never. I just recalculated a new goal (4 more pounds to…

Nope - you don't have a gut - quite the opposite - you look very slim and trim. Congrats on that. You must be one of the lucky ones. But I still stand by my earlier comment that diet and exercise will make you look better than just diet alone. But I will concede that there are always exceptions to any generalization. I…

I did it recovering from a surgery that laid me up for quite a while. However, once I got back to goal weight I still had a gut...even though was at the exact weight I was before my injury. Now that I am far enough into recovery, I am working out again to get rid of the gut. Moral of this story: Diet AND exercise will make…

mmmmmm - smoked Bologna sammich

St. Louis Style ribs coming out of the smoker... 609 calorie supper

shuffle all

It is a cool, drizzly, rainy, dreary Saturday...so to spice things up: The dry rub is on the St. Louis style pork ribs. I am putting them in the smoker at 225F at 11:30 - they should be done around 5:00 - 5:30. I am going to use straight hickory smoke instead of my usual apple/hickory blend. Hickory still rocks. I will be…

Black is best. But I am a coffee snob... B) I must grind whole bean Kenyan AA. Whole bean Costa Rican is my back up. Best over the counter coffee IMHO is Peet's - House Blend or Columbia Supreme

I read this earlier today and it irritated me. While technically correct, they used twisted statistics to support the article. In the works of late-great Mark Twain: "There are lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics." Let me summarize the article in one sentence. Eating is easier than exercise. Example of the…

I use RunKeeper to the same as Strava...and it also links to MFP. I have never used Strava but just wanted you to know there are options.
