My personal opinion is that CrossFit is excellent to work into your routine. I balance my daily routine with cardio, traditional lifting, and CrossFit exercises.

On a semi-related note, I love it when people, who are probably only casual gym goers, Facebook complain about people being on their phones. Granted, I can only assume that they are assuming they are scrolling or posting nonsense. I, myself, use a strength training app that helps me log and track my sets and reps so I know…

Someone else can chime in on your egg question, I’m sure. As far as canned sardines are concerned, I use the barcode reader for anything packaged. Works wonders!

Sorry no

I wouldn’t say so. I’m 166 with small frame and some muscle development and consume 2400 and whatever I burn through workouts, which is anywhere between 300-500. I probably should be eating more myself.

You’ve been given good advice so far concerning weight loss. I’d like to chime in on your comment convening “wanting abs.” Keep in mind that your figure shouldn’t change with a deficit, only your size. If you want “abs” or muscle definition, you’ll want to hit the weights as well. On a side note, I have a small frame as…

Anyone who hogs several different dumbbells at their bench.

This is so difficult with the face so tiny I think he pic! I’ll say maybe Puerto Rican?

Yes! But I wouldn’t wrestle a woman. :)

I’m not that kind of guy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

Strong!

Sheep in wolves clothing?

I accept everyone’s requests. Still a newbie though.

I differentiate carbs and starch carbs such as bread and processed carbs, which is a personal decision for me. I’ve chosen to eat clean within my calories for the most part. But what has worked for me is consuming more protein not only satiates me the way carbs did in the last but I i also have less of a craving for them.…

When this happened to me, I choose the item in the mid caloric range, safest bet. Do the high range and you may not be eating enough for the day and do the low range and you may go over. Go mid range and your worst case scenario is you’ll eat at it close to maintenance. One day of maintenance here and there won’t hurt at…

I would use the search tool and find a burger from the most comparable restaurant I can find. That’s what I’ve always done. That’s really the best we can do aside from taking it to a nutritional lab.

I drove to get take out for the fam. 17 calories logged.

Hey I logged 98 calories for driving and then another 53 for typing.

Not pointless at all. I would go ahead and start logging. It’s not as if there will be full table spreads every day between thanksgiving and New Years. Even if you don’t meet your goal every single day, getting over the holiday hump is actually a great start. If you at least get in the habit during this time, you should be…

I consider Keri a lifestyle diet. I say that meaning that if you want to lose, eat in a deficit while in it. While I am not on this diet, my trainer is. He makes sure he consumed a certain amount of calories each day.

In my experience, only when I change my goals

Exactly, which is why I’ve done some trial and error to see which ones correspond. If one doesn’t, I’ve recorded manually and made sure for further reference to record as other. Would be nice if MFP corresponded all watch workouts but such is life.

Did you double check your settings? I would call Apple support.

No, assuming you’re recording them on your Apple Watch, and it’s synced properly, any watch workout that corresponds to an MFP workout should I sync automatically.

Props for your gym commitment! Do your best to turn everyone else out, as they all have similar goes as yours. I would start by alternating between brisk walks and slow jogs on the treadmill. Then maybe 3 sets of around 7-8 pieces of circuit weights on whichever weight settings you feel comfortable with without making too…

Does your activity fluctuate throughout the week? Stress levels?

Feel free to add me. I’ve lost 29 and have 4-5 more to go. My diary is public. Iron sharpens iron.

A full body workout is no big deal for a starter. I would change up the exercise from day to day though. As you progress, you may look in to a more advanced muscle group specific routine.

Not free but I love some fudgesicles. The name brand is no sugar added so they’re only 40 cal. I don’t rely notice a lack of sugar, it being chocolate and all. Oh, and you just split the twin package and eat one to be 40 cal.

If you’re truly serious, I can help you come up with a plan. But it would require at least 45 min dedication.
