Most people cut carbs. Not intentionally, but just through the healthier choices and eating less. So while it's not as big a factor if you were going low carb or keto, it will have an impact.

Had them do the office windows. No interest to me, but yeah the ladies were all in that day :)

I've got a 10K Sunday. We got snow today, and it's going to be -10C or so. Not going to be my PB for 2019 for sure :) Just not sure if I need to run in trax or not (will take them and decide then).

I leave my underwear on :)

Oooh. @quiksylver296 Moved on from the sexypants I see..... :)

@quiksylver296 Is that all you know how to post????? :)

Whiskey. The answer is always Whiskey....

Then maybe don't give advice to those who do?

It's February. Start looking at Craigslist and I'm sure you'll find some very near new ones for sale.

Thanks. Will try this out. Still might get the chest strap just because I buy too much fitness *kitten*.

Can you explain how? I've got a Fenix 3HR and would need to buy a chest strap to do the guided test (and I'm thinking about it). Is there a simpler way to check?

Please read the stickies in this forum to explain why this is bad advice.

We need certain posters to type this out 100 times. :)

53 here (almost 54) and my max is in the 180 range. I keep thinking I need to get a chest strap that talks to my watch.

When are you doing your half again???? :)

You should revisit them at least every 10 lbs. When I was losing, I would redo them once a month. Some say MFP does it automatically, and maybe I'm just not using it right but it never seemed to adjust them for me so I just did it the beginning of the month. Once you do this, know that if you changed the default macro…

So do weights one day and cardio another? The whole "burn fat" thing is overrated. Just be in a calorie deficit and you will lose weight.

So, when are you getting your consciousness transferred to an artificial body (and why wouldn't you pick one the weight you want to be)????

Why not do both?

You really can't do much to impact your BMR. Losing weight lowers it, but that's about it. You can impact your NEAT and your TDEE. Improve your NEAT by doing simple things like parking further away, taking stairs instead of an elevator etc. Improve your TDEE by exercising more. If you are logging carefully and not losing…

All else aside, this is too fast of weight loss. That's 3-4 1/2 lbs per week. Up your activity level on MFP and eat more before you hurt yourself.

You got good answers in your other thread.

Sometimes I just need a Big Mac :)

@psuLemon Maybe it's just me, but I think your post is confusing. You mean the fat should be 50-70g, and not the protein, correct?

Yes. Weight loss is far more about diet than exercise. As long as you eat less than you burn, you can lose weight. Exercise has other benefits, but you can lose weight without it.

As I'm almost the same as you, same height and age and ~5 lbs lighter, your numbers make sense. Yeah, stick to the 1 lb loss per week, look at the weekly average and make sure to eat at least some of the exercise calories back.

So, keep drinking every day for weight loss. I like it. (and I'm just kidding)

It looks to me like the 1896 is today and the 659 is yesterday (from the screen shot). But I'm not familiar with how the Apple Watch tracks stuff.

I was using stronglifts, but have switched to jetfit as I added a couple of exercises and plan to add some more. But I used the stronglifts apps for ~ a year.
