Do you want to be spending money on these pills the rest of your life? Because like most of these late night products and work out fads, most people just bloat back to their original weight once they stop because they don't learn anything. Once you stop taking the pills and your old appetite comes back, you won't have…

Ever think of just making up a routine where playing with your kid is kind of a work out? Lay on your back and play "catch" by just gently throwing him a few inches straight up like you are doing a bench press and bring him back down to your chest for a few minutes. Or if you're not comfortable throwing him at all, just do…

Bwhaha I even looked at the dates of the posts on this page... didn't go back a page and see a 2014 stamp... oops.

Started hitting the gym again mid September, for the first time since I graduated high school (2005) that I tried to run a mile. It was all I could manage to do 1 10 minute mile. Last time I ran I was doing 3 miles in 20 minutes before soccer practice every day. This was 30lbs and 11 years ago however... I talked to my…

Perfect, thank you, pretty informative video.

So short answer is it does matter, but not in the sense it gets wasted, it just gets converted to something else. I don't think I'm eating enough per meal to cap out on his 3-4grams of Leucien a meal anyways, so I should be fine with how I'm doing this.

I grabbed a note 7 at launch, came with the Samsung fit watch. No longer have the note, but they let me keep the watch. I enjoy it for what it is, but it's not very accurate. My wife and one of her friends have since bought it since we all have Samsung phones, we use the Samsung health app to keep each other motivated…

I think it was Shark Tank where a woman went on trying to sell skinny mirrors. Her business plan was to sell skinny mirrors to clothing stores to try and sell more merchandise.

I gotta say this isn't even necessarily a woman thing. Even as a guy who has very little free weight experience, I feel the same way. My high school didn't allow free weights due to liability, and then I joined Planet Fitness who had so little Free weights that there was never any space. Now I joined the new Anytime…

I did T25 for about a month and a half with my wife. She loved it, I did it just because she loved it. In the end, I ended up jacking up my back in an unrelated incident and wasn't able to finish the program. I can say I noticed my body toned up a bit in that time, but I didn't record any numbers to see just how much. I…

I lost 10 lbs the first 2 weeks I started calorie counting. Most of this is just garbage going out of my system and water weight returning to normal. This is how fad diets get you. Most people from my experience lose a lot of weight the first week or two that really isn't weight loss, it just shows up on the scale as it.…

This is why I only weigh myself once a week. I started off weighing myself in the morning every day and at night every day. I could vary 2-4lbs during the day, and by the next morning it could also be 2-4lbs different from the night before. So I could go from 209 in the am to 213 at night and back to 209 in the morning…

Just to play devils advocate, is it possible this person was actually trying to help out without wanting to directly go to you so you felt singled out? Obviously I didn't see it and don't know the tone or message, but maybe it was them trying to help you in their own way. Without knowing anything about either of you,…

Lot of people hit it on the head, with how sensitive this world has become, the risk are just too high to compliment people on their weight loss. You'll inevitably run into that one person who gets offended and says something along the lines of "What, are you saying I was fat?" and complains to HR, or "SoandSo just made an…

I somewhat enjoy being cold, so this is a blunder I purposely repeat. Until it drops to somewhere in the low 40s, I won't bother with a jacket.

The biggest advice I can say to someone is that when you feel like you have lost all control of the world, you need to realize the one thing you have 100% control of is your body. The way you treat your mind and body is always 100% in your control, so when the rest of the world is in a spiral, that's even more of a reason…

click the user name in the forums. The click their name again in the box that pops up. From there you should see "view food diary" if they have enabled it to be public.

I do have the goal to have lost 20lbs by Thanksgiving, partly because that's when my wife and I are going on vacation to Cancun, and partly because I'm the kind of guy who needs a measurable goal for motiviation. I've tried those diet things before, trying to cut foods, avoid certain things. This time around both the wife…

A lot of people actually. I can't do it, but the wife does it all the time. We go to Blaze's pizza, and their personal pizzas aren't too big, never been to Pizza Express, but i'm assuming it's the same concept. Essentially the subway of pizza places.

Going on vacation to Cancun on Thanksgiving. Started looking into MFP and the advice for weight loss on Sep 25th. Joined a gym that opened up by my house, been going 4-5 times a week, and aiming to eat under 2000 calories. Lost 12lbs since September 16th as of today. I stopped drinking pop. That alone was a huge change for…

The only thing I really worry about is excess sodium because it tends to cause my ankles to swell and I retain a lot of water for a day or two after it. The biggest thing with Sugar isn't diet related, but as a culture our taste buds have become dependent on sugar. Multiple studies (I can't confirm how reliable they were)…

Samsung Health has a water tracker built in if you plan to use S-Health at all.
