You dont need to spend much to get a workout. An empty milk jug filled with waste water (what you washed your face with will work) weighs about 8 lbs - and keeps some stuff out of a landfill. A piece of discarded iron pipe about 3 feet long, fill two metal cans (old coffee cans have been used well) with concrete, stick the…

As a rule, weights - including dumbbells - run a dollar a pound for new. If they want.more than that, move on to another store.

BY FAR ... get Daily Strength Lots of programs for you (including that tired 5x5 so many preach) Paid version was like 10 er 15 $, and let's you enter your own exercises. Or you can customize the programs already in there. Keeps track of your lifts ( with a click I can tell you what I lifted on say August 19th and hiw long…

4 days per week 2 days 'heavy' for me weights about 30 sets followed by 20 ish mins steady state cardio Other 2 days lighter weights (8-10 rep range) followed by higher intensity cardio

Intensity is rare. Most people talking about 2 hour workouts are actually doing 15 minutes, but taking 2 hours to do it.

My fasting is called sleeping

If you watch the bar, you'll see that you shift forward a bit right at the bottom of the lift. First move isnt.up, its forward. First isnt bad st all, then it gets worse as you get more tired. Educated guess from the video I'd say you are relying on your quads to help glutes/ hamstrings. Problem is, if you continue or go…

I routinely get 150g protein just eating food. Ocassionally break 200 grams. And this is on or under 1800 calories. Chicken breast, chicken eggs, tuna, salmon, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beef, pork loin,... all pretty high protein

57- ish I used to run, but in my 30s I just couldnt remember what was ineresting about it Would be willing to do some handball, but seems Im old, nobody does that any more! A little weight lifting for now... REALLY want to shed about 20 ...

I'll be 57 in a minute or two. Some you kids half that age might want to bump up the pace just a little 😏 Okay, what's the picture problem here ...

Sara Lee "delightful" is good tasting , 45 calories and 9g carbs per slice Did I mention it tastes good?

At 5'5" and 220lbs it's likely you're eating more calories than you think. And 800 calorie workout is a bunch, isn't it?

Course, if you are "double checking" against something else, in this case usda, then wouldn't it be simpler (smarter) to just use that in the first place?

Folks talk about seeing their menu. How to do that? Maybe swap some ideas ...

When did I start? May? Can't remember exactly now. Started working out again when doctors said okay, started checking weight and calories after starting exercise. I hit the gym weight room, and my little girl drags me out for a short ( and mostly leisure) bike ride any night it isn't raining. My "diet" is about 1/3 protein…

'preciate ya. No intention of quitting. I hated gaining the weight, but when the doc says you have to do this, then that's that. Ended up much heavier than I'm used to and I do not like it. So I'm in it to do it. If I knew what to do next, I would do it. Thanks for the help!

Well, I don't mean I've been trying to lose for two weeks. I HAVE BEEN losing some weight - about 18 - then just some reason STALLED ?@! I don't get it Ppl om that show 600 lbs lose 50/mo, and ppl naked and afraid lose 10 lbs per week! Not that either of those is the way to go, but they DO lose. I'm trying to LEARN how to…

How do you see the diary?

Hadn't considered the scale, but don't think that's it. The one here at the house and the one at the gym pretty much the same reading. Don't have the old "skinny jeans". When I gained all that weight, I gave this jeans to a local mens shelter. Figured I could buy new clothes when the weight comes off, but there was fellas…

Oh, should maybe add that I'm 5-10 and weigh 214. Read somewhere I "should" weigh 160, but only way that I could weigh 160 is if I died. I felt pretty good for years at 185 until med treatments had me eat whether hungry or not.

I weigh ALMOST everything. Weigh all meat (raw weight). Only thing not getting weighed is cottage cheese, which I eat a container a week, so really it IS weighed (the net weight is gone, and I'm the only one eating it). Not shorting myself calorically, at least not severely. My weights lifted do increase, though slowly…

Exactly this - both very high protein, not high calorie. I also like shrimp- nearly pure protein. At $10/lb it sounds pricey, but toss 1/2 lb in some rotini pasta (nearly free) and throw in half a barrel of garlic cloves (also nearly free) and me and the boys all eat well (4 people eat for $10).

Calories are burn d through work. Weight lifting can and does burn calories. But you can't compare what is often done on the weight room with continuous stress of most cardio. I do not know how many - a lot- people I have seen who start bench pressing with a warm up set at 205 or 225, but seem to be okay with carrying 50…

Gotta find something you can be consistent with. Watch TV, you'll see 600-pound folk losing 50 per month. And naked and afraid ppl losing 25 pounds in a couple weeks. I wish I could drop weight like that, and I don't ev n need to come down that much! That doc in 600-lb life tells em no pasta, no bread, no fruit, and I'm…

With strength training, working at your stronger points whi let ignoring weak points is called "muscle imbalance" and us definitely not good

Quinoa

Hardly the "end all", I couldn't do that 5x5 stuff regularly, couldnt go back to that, tho it works for when I don't have much time that day

Check miscleandffitness.com Lots of workouts, including dumbbell only IMPORTANT here- The question is not the amount of weight currently on the bar, the question is; are you doing better today than yesterday... Stuff happens. If I lifted steady since I first started, today I'd be lifting the gym with the weights IN it :)

Wild rice sounds good. Salmon probably better done by somebody who cooked it before! I'm kind of a sprinkle it and slap on the grill guy.

Couldn't say... It was pink. Fish ain't sposedta be pink :)
