I am a creature of habit. Despite all my bad habits, I've been having a breakfast smoothy 5 days a week for the last 3 years. It is a healthy smoothy that i'!! Describe in detail in some other Post.but the point I am trying make today is I have been thinking of other foods that I might use to displace bad meals with a good…

I'm going to have pitfalls,too. I will need to be able to deal with them so they don't derail me. I need to get to bed at a reasonable time each and every night. Being fatigued from lack of sleep is a motivation killer. I suffer from impaired circulation in my lower legs. When it is at its worse, there could be periods of…

Justkris69, I was reading an article this afternoon from a bodybuilding website. It echo'd many of the same things you speak of. It advocated a strength training program to burn more fat in-between workouts. Interestingly enough, I find I can handle strength training better than cardio. Also, I've typically average more…

Hey, this fat person really isn't me. I may be fat on the outside but I still run around in my dreams like I was 16 years old. I should give some thought to the possibility that I might want to do a bit more than short walks. I don't want to cause myself a repetitive strain injury. Looks like my knees and ankles are in…

Should I exercise or do it solely with diet? That is an important question. Probably one with as many answers as there are people asking. With some thought, many weeks of thought, I decided that a walking program will improve my walking ability years before I reach my target weight. A bad meal at McDonald's might destroy…

Step 2 - lose weight. But how? I don't know anything about successfully transforming a fat me into a mini me. Well, I'm not a dumb man, so I think I can figure out some solid advice, then seek expert advice to fill in the details. Here goes: - what I eat is less important than how much I eat....awkward pause......i'm not…

Step 1 - I need to live long enough for my future hard work to pay off, so off to the doctor I go. I want to be armed with the correct prescriptions, even if this means insulin. Insulin is scarey but not as scarey as needing it and remaining in denial. I'll need a low dose aspirin, it helps prevent heart attack or stroke.…

Wow. Thanks for all the replies while I was typing my second post.

Another place I have concerns are estimated calories burned while exercising. The tracker tells me that I am burning 300cal on a light effort stationary bike for 20 minutes. I am morbidly obese so maybe it is accurate, but if it isn't accurate, then this is generating àn error to my daily calorie limit. Does the limit…

I'm not a fan of using a meal replacement powder when I have access to a blender.l prefer that to add fruit to a 100% whey protein. Powders can be expensive, I try ñot to spend my hard earned money on a sugar or carb laced product. My favorite ingredients are bananas, peanut butter, instant coffee, flax seed,strawberries,…

Baked potato, baked chicken, a steamed veggies 2nd day, stir fry 3rd day, flour tortillas, and reprocess the stir fry as filling.

I've noticed that the more I weight train, the more i do cardio because it feels natural to add it as a warm down activity. I've heard it helps shorten recovery if you are weight training with significant intensity to form quite a bit of lactic acid build up.

I think it is fair to say that no one has reduced food intake while on the couch, and felt as energetic as someone that adds light activity to their plan. But yeah. Exercise is less important than how much I eat. It is critical that I figure out the eating thing.

Updatex2: I checked the android tablet a second time. Unfortunately, the app runs a bit differently than on my home computer. I'm having problems viewing the nutrional content of a custom recipe. Hence, I'm not finding the desired feedback when I modify the recipe. However, I'm still very happy. I'm planning on using my…

Update: I've been experimenting with the 'recipe' feature. I was able to create a meal, view the nutritional info, and then edit the contents to see how it changes the nutritional info. I think this will work quite effectively. In fact, it might be a better approach, because I'm manually adjusting the quantities. Why?…
