Shezzz had some really good ideas - but I want to tweak the salmon recipe. Do not wrap and bake the salmon - but rather: Place (uncovered) salmon directly on cookie sheet (or foil wrapped cookie sheet if you want easy clean-up) 4 to 5 inches from top of oven. Broil for about 10 or 12 minutes (depending on the oven). This…

took aspirin to help soothe my DOMs

One of my kids became addicted to opiates. It was a horrible 3 years. He is recovered now, a college graduate, and working full time :-) There is hope. Hang in there. The 12-step programs were helpful for my kid and also for me. My wife wanted nothing to do with it. She was pretty hurt and upset. I did Al-Anon (for…

Count me in - Currently 6 pounds down - 3 more to get to my original goal weight but 8 more to get to my "stretch-goal" weight.

To muddy the waters a little, my apps tend to underestimate my calorie burns. If you want accurate, you will have to use a chest-strap HRM. But who cares about the accuracy...I am stoked to see that you walked for 55 minutes at a great pace. Congrats on that! Keep moving!

I have arthritis in both knees and use cycling as one of my exercises. Cycling has actually helped the pain immensely. I ride in "the world" and not in a gym in spin-class (which I find boring - but that is just me). To get music, I use a CANZ 808 bluetooth speaker in my water-bottle holder and my iPhone. You also might…

hahaha - this thread is awesome - two big laughs Continuing along the Disney diet... Shrek loves onions, spider webs, rats, and toads... ^^^this^^^ diet would make me lose weight.

Wow - great job! You look fantastic!

hahahahahaha except for the Jeff Goldblum part - he should have died in Jurassic Park and he should have died in Independence Day, etc., etc.

I have conclusive evidence that breathing air causes cancer and other serious illnesses. Everyone who has cancer or another serious illness is breathing...see the correlation. I know this to be true because I am an engineer and know statistics backwards and forwards. :# In the words of Mark Twain There are lies, damned…

Bacon and peanut butter will get you to your calorie goal without stuffing you even more ;-) Seriously though, eat some more calorie dense food - enjoy them - eat luxuriously when you can. It can break up the monotony of routine eats.

Have you considered going onto MFP forums? B)

hahaha - made me laugh

all of the above - and Congrats on your weight loss!

^^^this^^^ Seriously though - if you go way under on calories - you will probably do it fine for a few days then binge. Remember that it took a long time to get in your (my) current shape and getting back into "goal" shape will also take time. Just making the adjustment away from dining out and eating better will probably…

Sorry to burst the "outta food" myth, but why aren't they fishing? Have you ever fished a farm pond with a plain gold hook? Cast - catch a fish - cast - catch a fish - etc. Just imagine what would happen with bait on the hook. Further - almost the entire human population are now zombies - who hate water - so there is no…

A bigger version of my profile pic...75 pounds lost in 18-months P.S. - I know I was "sucking in my gut" in the 250 lbs. pic

I was hoping to find some more like minded cycling buddies here on MFP. Please message me or send friend request if interested. Now that spring is here, I ride the central Missouri MKT and KATY trails mostly. I rarely do any road riding as the trails are awesome. Here is a picture of where I ride and the usual traffic once…

I try to do outside stuff, golf, cycling on the trail, cutting firewood, etc. But when the weather doesn't cooperate and I can no longer stand the "dreadmill" - I use FITNESSBLENDER on You Tube. They have hundreds of free workout videos. Total body, HIIT, kickboxing, core, etc., etc. When I travel - I always take my iPad -…

Only water counts as water - lie! What is the difference between eating a pack of gummi bears while drinking a glass of pure water as compared with drinking a soda?

^^^this^^^

That would be 20% of your body weight lost - yes - it will be noticeable. I would expect it to be very noticeable to someone who has not seen you for a while.

0.00001...I hate running but I can walk or cycle my legs off

lol - following your logic - Yes - I concede your point - you are correct - especially in some cannibalistic cultures I know we do not agree here so I will leave it at me agreeing with you above. Cheers!

I lost 75 pounds in 18 months. I worked out in the gym 90 minutes every other day...but I still drank beer, wine, bourbon - but counted the calories. If I would have quit drinking I am sure I could have lost the weight quicker but what fun would that be? ;-)
