Charge HR is great as a no-fuss, functional tracker. Having the HR functionality is critical if you want a truly accurate (or at least close-to-accurate) count of caloric expenditure for exercise. Counting steps is great as a leading indicator of activity, but can/will be wildly inaccurate for caloric expenditure estimates…

If baseball is the question, beer is the answer.

She's up there. Based on current pic, 9?

Yes. In fact, it's highly beneficial to achieving a lean physique. It DOES take some getting used to, but I prefer training on an empty stomach anyways so it was fairly easy for me. Hardest part on some days is the last 1-1.5 hours or so before the feeding window opens. Other days, I'm 1-2 hours past it before I ever get…

Highly recommend searching for the Leangains guide to Intermittent Fasting/Training.

Intermittent Fasting. Basically a diet regimen that either cycles days on/off fasting or incorporates a certain number of hours a day into fasting. It's good for insulin sensitivity as well as mobilizing fat stores when you combine with fasted training. Not for everybody and the first 3-6 days on it can be a bear. Tons of…

Currently just fish oil, daily multivitamin, and black coffee! Have previously used a bit of everything; whey protein is obviously a crucial supplement for many looking for strength, muscle, and weight loss. Formerly used a pre-workout called Alphamine from PES that was also a thermogenic. It was awesome...I'm looking at…

Double posted, edited to remove.

I have been doing it as a lifestyle for over 2 years now. Originally cut from 198 lbs down to 164 lbs...currently hanging out mid 170's. My eating window is from 11am - 6pm, so 17 off and 7 on. Works well for me, as I don't miss breakfast and train/exercise in a fasted state at about 5:30 am. I will break it on Saturdays…

Not sure of your question. Do you mean how to you know the calories you need to set as your goal, or are you talking about specific foods?

MFP glitch, wasn't user error here bud! Thanks for the snarky input. You climb?

You can lose weight without exercise...yet, the benefits of exercise go beyond weight loss. Find something - anything - you like (or can tolerate) and find a way to make it fun. You don't have to be a marathoner, body builder, or yoga queen to be fit. If you don't enjoy what you're doing, or at least get addicted to the…

I love to watch "The Bachelor"...mostly to see hot women making complete fools of themselves. :D

IMO, it's hard to undercook salmon! I suppose it depends on your personal preference, but salmon should retain a vibrant pink center, and even tend towards rare for best taste. Eating overcooked salmon is like eating a "well done" steak. You can do it, but why?

Howdy! Would be happy to get to know ya. :)

That would require me having water skis. :D I'm on a wakesurf board in my profile pic. Haha.

Always bet on black. Good for natural energy without harmful additives, can keep you regular, and has thermogenic effect as well! Also read somewhere that black coffee can reverse (?) the damaging effects of alcohol on the liver, too. Not sure about the science behind that claim, but sounds good at face value!

False. Metabolizing alcohol takes priority over other energy stores at night, so it will only delay any real weight loss with respect to body fat.

If you want to workout at home, do Focus T25. Hard to make an excuse when it's only 25 min a day! Get it done early and you'll thank yourself.

I love hipster chicks. ;)

Flex our triceps and admit defeat.

Measurements are not always a good indicator! You do you and focus on how you feel more than what the numbers may say!

I'm just gonna bring down the crazy skewed averages and reacquaint us with a bell curve, mmmkay? YOU'RE ALL 2's!!!! Hahaha. :D :D

Not sure how advanced you are and where your strength is, but putting your feet up on the bench does a lot to engage and isolate both the core and chest/arm during bench. Definitely don't recommend it with super heavy weight if you aren't used to it, though...

Welcome and good luck!

If you buy more than one pair of running shoes at a time, you might be a runner...

Yes ma'am. Have you ever kicked someone in the nuts?

Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
