I just did a tdee calculation based on 500# 6 ‘ tall , sedentary ,40 year old guy and you are correct. It would take 3850 cal to maintain.I never would have imagined that it would be such a difference.It makes sense,though.That is a lot of extra weight to heat and move.

Yeah that makes sense. Maybe It was a combination of being bigger and having a higher metabolism.I didn’t log food then,but I have been logging for a long time now. That is what got me thinking about this.Just remembering how I used to eat daily and knowing now what a diet like that is worth in calories, it just doesn’t…

"When in doubt,whip it out."

When I lost weight initially I was getting so much grief from some people around me telling me that I looked too skinny and that I needed to stop losing weight. At one point I just casually mentioned how my diet failed and I gained 20 lb back. They seem so thrilled to hear the news. They told me how my face looked fuller…

I am a big fan of P90x3.When I first decided to lose weight,I ended up doing that program ans went from 235 pounds down to 165 pounds.I am a 6' tall guy.I did the classic shedule with the elite block and I did it 3 times in a row. So i did 12 months,7 days a week. It seems crazy to me now to think of doing one program over…

The pancakes and waffles Halo Top is pretty good. Some of the other flavors are pretty janky,though. In the end, I found that I can get a gallon bucket of really good Neapolitan ice cream at Aldis for the same price as a pint of Halo Top.It is only 110 calories a serving.Not as low cal as Halo Top, but it is a pretty good…

I remember when a morbidly obese, diabetic family member told me that I looked terrible.They told me that I needed to stop, even though I was only 20 pounds into my eventual 65# weight loss .I knew I was on the right track. When I ended up hitting my goal, I got so sick of hearing comments that I lied and said that I had…

People were always giving me grief when I started losing weight.It really bothered me. Probably more than it should have.All of these people spent their lives dieting and failing.I succeded and made it look easy. If they had ever lost any weight,even when I was a fat guy,I would have been happy for them.I never would have…

One thing is for sure: losing weight should be a breeze for you if you feel like 1200 calories is too much food.Most people have the opposite problem.

My standard dinner is: 5 egg whites,1egg,2 oz ham,1 oz of shredded cheese,1/2 cup of oats microwaved,1/4 cup of raisins,2 teaspoon of brown sugar and 1/3 cup of powdered milk.If i dont have the calories I will lose the ham, cheese or raisins but eggs and oatmeal is a daily thing.I could never get sick of oatmeal.

I guess i will be having a sugar sandwich tonight just to see what all the fuss is about.

Grab your heart rate strap and your jump rope! Put on some good music and jump enough calories to have a few donuts.

I jump a lot. Between an hour and an hour and a half, six days week.It is great for calorie burn,but as others have pointed out,it is rough on your body.I jump on rubber flooring ,wear Ropix jump roping shoes and compresion socks.An hour of straight jumping isnt a big deal for me now,but getting to this point was pretty…

Thanks! I need this flatbread in my life.

I lost a bunch of weight a couple of years ago.I hadn't lost my first 15 pounds and people (who never said a word when I gained a ton of weight) started becoming concerned and telling me to stop.As I made my way down the scale,it was nonstop attempts at sabotage and unsolicited comments.When I hit my goal I told these…

If you could have some carrot sticks or a small apple,you could turn this problem into a nutritional win

P90x3 changed my life.I loved it so much that did the program with the added elite month and did it 3 times in a row.It was 12 months/ 7 days a week of p90x3 and i lost 65 pounds and got in great shape. I never got bored doing that program.I found it to be a great way to build a strong base of fitness.It has been a couple…
