My point was that this is not fear mongering.as some one assumed. Understand what you are eating. There are good options and there are bad. My neighbor makes incredible veggie burgers from scratch using ingredients we can pronounce.

Soy Protein Concentrate, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Potato Protein, Methylcellulose, Yeast Extract, Cultured Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Soy Leghemoglobin, Salt, Soy Protein Isolate, Mixed Tocopherols, Zinc Gluconate, Thiamine Hydrochloride, Sodium Ascorbate, Niacin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride,…

I jad a great week. I changed my workout plan. It includes more heavy lifting and less endurance cardio. Start: 214.1Lbs. on 12/26 Final goal is 180s @ 11% BF Jan. 6: 210.7 Jan. 13: 207.5 Jan. 20: 204.3 Jan. 27: 202.2 January Goal: 203 / Actual: 202.2 Feb 3: 200.4 Feb 10: 199.0 Feb 17: Feb 24: Feb goal: 195 April Goal: Low…

I had a great week. I didn't drink and I skipped my cheat meal. I started a 60 day challenge at my gym. I changed my workout plan to more strength training with heavy lifting. I'll be carrying extra water weight for a few weeks, but I know I'm burning fat. 12/26= 214.1 Lbs. / 8 week goal= 191 Lb.s 1/20 204.3 Lbs. 1/27…

Why are calories 1200? What is your goal?

What did the doc say?

There are numerous HR tracking apps that connect to that strap. You should be able to find one on the compatible app page for MFP

Are your resolution crowds gone? My gym was a ghost town this morning.

Conclusion: Exercising in a mild to moderate HR ranges is associated better fitness and fewer cardiac events. Exercising above HR targets or age predicted MHR for extended periods of time is associated with poor HR recovery and increased risk of a cardiac events.

My buddy has boxes of frozen thin mints. He has to do 20 burpees everytime he wants a cookie. I don't love Girl Scout cookies as much as I hate 20 burpees.

A contract is binding and you're only a customer until you cancel. Gyms aren't about making people healthy, they are about making money.

An oldie but fitting.

Depends how long I'm in the pool.

The person repairing an airplane better count the number of screws they took out then put back in.

This doesn't fall into NEAT, but thought it would be a good new habit.

I walk back and forth during conference calls. I fired my lawn guy. Instead of riding my bike, I started WALKING when I WALK my dog. (he had a hard time adjusting)

Take your time. I went to different shelters and adoption events for months. Sweet Lou Lou Bear picked me. I wanted a smaller dog, but my daughter noticed Lou was staring at me everywhere I walked. He sat in my lap for awhile with this look of love, sooooo home we went. We had typical puppy issues, but he is an awesome dog…

Improving resting HR is the measure of fitness. Increasing HR is not a sign of fitness and studies conclude that being close to max heart rate for long periods of time is more detrimental than beneficial.

Agreed. People with a negative outlook generally tend give up on the process. People with an optimistic outlook generally find even the smallest wins to keep them motivated.

I can tell you from experience. You would burn both fat and lean mass. I worked out to net negative 3k calories per day. (2 hours in the am and 2 hours in the pm) In 3 weeks I lost 15 lbs, but about 1/3 of it was lean mass. Build a serious plan around 2 - 2.5 lbs. a week and stick to it. There just aren't any short cuts.…

Heck, I weigh 200 and I have a hard time eating 1900 calories a day.

Hit me up!

I feel ya! I turned 50, got sick, then broke my shoulder. Fitness has taken on a new meaning.

😄 All that walking made you heavier... BUT temporarily! After a lot of exercise our bodies tend to retain some water for a day or two for muscle recovery. Last Tuesday I weighed 201. I did a max effort spin class 3 days in a row. On Saturday I weighed 206 (WTH??? & YES, IT TOTALLY PISSED ME OFF!) This Tuesday, I weighed…

100% agree
