Already done! Original weight 225 lbs. Current weight 212 lbs!

I can relate to the thing about people trying to shove food and desserts at me. Same since I quit alcohol. Also quit smoking a couple weeks ago and have people pushing nicotine replacements on me even though im already completely nicotine free. Some people are just really dumb and that will never change because it's a…

Blue belt here. Haven't been at it in a few years though.

You might have overpronation or something. That's my problem and i need shoes designed to fix it or my feet hurt like crazy

My favorite, underwater swimming. My best form is in my dolphin kick, eee eee eee!

Ok cool, thanks.

@snake_man_32 thank you for sharing your methods

It doesn't really matter what physical activity you do or the order you do them in, as long as you're physically active it's all good. Stretching helps mobility and reduces the chances of joint or ligament injuries. Don't overthink like these science nerds.

Too long; didn't watch.

@kiela64 the first time i logged it in MFP and saw trans fat!

@pierinifitness oh good point: body fat 29%, mile run time around 13 minutes, max weights I don't know how to learn. Any tips on figuring that out by myself in the gym? I don't want to over exert myself trying, or short change myself on the data. I'm also unsure of what I strive for my body fat % to be, but realistically a…

I know it's possible because I've done it before and never used "supplements" in my life. I just wanted tips on it. Also, I can't afford a personal trainer that's why I use this app. I said nothing about bulking muscle, just maintaining it. Natural strength can be increased by a variety of ways, even without bulking, for…

@MikePTY congratulations on advancing your belt! Huge accomplishment. I did martial arts for a long time and was in peak fitness for 8 years until I developed a permanent brain disease in 2014. Now I can't afford to join a martial arts gym on my current income unless i get a supplemental part time job. I had a blue belt in…

Thanks! I'll start the beginner Wolverine workout and go up from there as I progress!

You wont regret it

I eat them back most of the time I just choose healthy enough foods that I'm not going over on nutrient intake on things like fat and sugar. If I burn 500 calories i will have an extra snack like hard boiled eggs or a small sandwich to compensate, that way im not losing muscle or bone mass.

Let's not hijack the thread from OP just because I made a comment you dont consider intelligent. If I knew it would cause so much controversy I wouldnt have said anything. My bad. Now move on and dont make this whole thread about me. Thanks.

Excuse me for participating in an open forum. I'll kindly not post in this thread anymore, since the hostility level is over 9000.

She said girl questions, not girls opinions.

Guy's opinion: I like tan AND pale girls. Maybe just own your paleness, like Kate Beckinsale from Underworld. It would be better than having a fake tan visibly streaming down your skin imo.

Not bc im not gay but bc of the beard. I cant pretend hes a girl if hes got a beard

Second post ever in chit chat. Why did I come here? I need answers!

Hello! I'm 10 days into MFP and about a month into my fitness journey. I've already become able to run a mile, lost 10 lbs and quit smoking. Losing more than those 10 lbs has become a challenge but I'm not giving up. I just moved to Florida and now I have no excuse not to be outside playing.

Uncomfortable because it works

Willpower is like any other aspect of your body or mind, use it or lose it. It gets stronger with training, the more you use it. You just have to set baby step goals and keep making attempts until it becomes your new normal.

Short answer: yes. I spent 7 years training and competing in MMA training boxing, muay thai, BJJ, calisthetics and wrestling 3 hours a day every day, running 2 mile wind sprints every day and weightlifting at least 3 times a week for around 30 mins to an hour. You have to make sure you aren't in a calorie deficit, get good…

Oh wow didnt know all those foods are high potassium. Like none of those are regular in my diet. Changes must be made!

Thank you very much, I have always had a diet low in beans and lentils so I will definitely incorporate more the next time I buy groceries. I didn't realize it was such a problem until I saw my macros using this app. I'm more of a protein, calcium and fat eater than anything else. I'll have to check for that bread in my…

Polish food, specifically golabki (meat stuffed cabbage rolls) with beet soup and makoweic (sweetened poppyseed pastry). My paternal grandmother made it on family holidays when we would all gather, and now my sister makes it occasionally. I'm not skilled enough in the kitchen to pull it off sadly so I have to hope for it…

What kind of beans?
