4lbs in a week is water weight unless you actually ate (3600 calories *4) over your goal that week. If as you say you're just back at it a few weeks, give things a little more time to settle and keep doing what you're doing. The scale is NOT everything. And MEASURE yourself so you have another waty to see progress and…

I guess you're the only person who can answer whether it impacts you psychologically to see the OLD you consistently on your phone. Me, I'd look at it as a reminder of what you USED to be, not who you are now. Maybe seeing it all the time is a bit much. I have old photos of me +30 pounds that I can reference if I need…

Check out Craig Ballantyne on twitter or the earlyto rise website. Very motivational EVERY day and the creator of the turbulence training program. Also is running a $100k transformation contest currently. His quote from today: "The world does not reward average people well, so you must be extraordinary." - Ted Nicholas

Might be overdoing it with the pace..knock the pace back by a half mile and see what happens.

Good shoes..go to a running store and get fitted...run/walk method if you are just starting out or try Couch or 5k (C25K) Never increase running distance by more than 10% a week and listen to your body. Yes, I used to hate running. Now I hate injuries that prevent me from running.

I have the Polar FT7 and have had other Polar models. The HRM will always be more accurate than MFP.

This is a FAN-tastic post..

Thanks for the invite Steve..

Insanity work outs... I'll burn 500-520 cals for 39-41 minutes. This is comparable to fast runs for the same period. A run at a 6.8mph pace might put me at 30-40 calories more.

I couldn't meet my protein macros for the day without it so for me it isn't wasted calories. I can understand how someone might think as the OP does but it is tough to get the 20g of protein I get from a scoop of the protein powder I use without eating more meat etc and I feel like I already eat too much meat. The 2 scoops…

Just burned 490 calories in 38 minutes doing Pure Cardio and I didn't have the time to make the observations you did because I was too busy getting through the workout...take what you want from that statement! As to the other reader who quit after a month because the workouts were too long 1: You QUIT 2: How long is too…

Check out the following link http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ You need to know your exact weight but this gives you a good guide as to whether your daily goal is appropriate.

Absolutely amazing....the last few months have really cut any fat you had. Proud to have you as a friend on the journey.

lol....this is SUCH an IRISH post...lol

A girl asked...guys answered...get over it. Prefer curves myself.

Vodka with a calorie free mixer. Mine is Smirnoff and diet coke.

Here's my advice on HRM(s). I have the FT7 and the FT6 1: Make sure the strap and watch have the ability to easily change the batteries. The FT7 is really easy and I love it while the FT6 strap does not. 2: Make sure the strap is the clip on kind that does not easily unclip on you while adjustng on your chest. FT7 is…

I've never bought beachbody products from buy.com but I have bought electronics and computer supplies and never had any issues.

Sorry if that come over wrong :smile: It wasn't intended to.

There's no ONE thing..its a silly request. 1: Calculate your Base Metabolic Rate (BMR) and try to NEVER let your NET calories consumed go below your BMR. 2: Measure and don't place too much emphasis on the scales. 3: Focus on consistency in all that you do related to weight loss and fitness.

Well done....is that a Waking Ned Divine profile pic????

For the past 3 months I have been doing alternating days of strength training and cardio routines mixing in P90X plyo and kenpo on days when I'm feeling too bruised to run. Starting another round of P90X on the 14th of this month and I will just be doing that and maybe running on the rest day and the Yoga X day for 90…

lol...glad you got to the bottom of it. I hate nosy people that get things wrong. Smart man on not arguing the point on being distant :smile:

Its quite simple really..how bad do you want it? If you want it bad enough, then you'll do what it takes to get there. Not saying its easy. Its a grind and requires dedication and lots of motivating yourself. Maybe its that next size down in clothes or an inch on a measuring tape or a few pounds on the scale or a fast walk…

Nope..no tats or piercings..call me conventional and boring.

I did eharmony way back and frankly the pace at which eharmony moves and their question set up just irritated me to no end. Then the site set me up with a friend of mine who I knew well and was in no way a match for me. Needless to say, this turned me off the whole experience. To the OP..it seems like you are investing…

HAHAHAHAHA....This is great. Funny thread..

The story and the way you related it was funny but I feel your pain man. Yeah, seems like she is a little spoiled by you and she has decided to make this an issue. Maybe you're just a nice guy and she really is a little insecure/needy given that she feels she needs to spend time with you during a period which was…

Well done....that last pic really tells it all :smile: You should be proud of yourself for your accomplishment.

Older guys saying "yummy" to a younger ladies profile pic change..creeps mtf out...:laugh:
