Well, I'm not really new, but I'm back, kind of, I'm trying. I've been in China for 20 of the last 23 years. The first time I was here 1997-2000, I lost about 60# going from 280 down to 220. And I managed that after I got home for a few months, but by 2003 I was back about 245. And that's when I came back to China. Of…

I've decided I need a team, I'm doing good with nutrition, but Saturday was the first time to force myself out the door

okay, the result of my 1st week of using the Rip60 meal plan is that I lost 8 1/2 pounds, with ZERO exercise... and before you jump on the water weight bandwagon, note that I drink 12-15 glasses of water a day... and, I had a business lunch and burger meal as part of that, plus, I can't stand plain greek yogurt, so I mix…

ummmm, am I missing something? I mean, I have 4-5 LOCK-LOCK boxes that I use for different things I haul to eat. Sometimes it' also zippies, but isn't BENTO just taking lunch in a box?

Hey girl!! where did you go? off to Thailand (Koh Lanta) again in three weeks (Chinese New Year)... going to really enjoy it this time where I'm a 'diver' not a student.
-
Thursday? I have to wait until Thursday? Oh, lemme ask, if I am doing TBL, should I really be limiting myself to 'peeking' just ONE day a week? you know, for all that drama and stuff?
-
Goals? we have freakin goals? mine is to get my TBL contest going... it's easy to be the BIGGEST LOSER when you are competing against yourself :) but I guess I'll work on some burpees, not sure what Gret has planned in that regard.

Hey, I'm Trent, and I can be a knucklehead, but I'm a pretty decent guy. I started on MFP four years ago, I lost 50 pounds and even spent a week below 300... then I fell at work, tearing a hamstring and sidlining my work... I got back on track with my running, but couldn't get my mind fixed back on controlling my intake...…
-
I'll say this for burpees, there are like 10 different kinds... do whichever you can do 10 reps of, and use it until you can do 3 sets in 5 minutes... then switch them up... for instance, the most simple version I know of is to squat down, touching your hands to the ground (or seat of a chair (so you can hold on for…

oh, I almost missed burpee hell!!

Good luck, but for 30g of protein, you couldn't eat enough legumes or tofu to pull it off... that's a LOT of protein... If it's me, and you want to try, I'd put my tofu in the freezer, and then make chili with kidney and pinto beans, maybe some black beans... you could even throw in some brown rice... don't forget some…

about 52 for the 7 minutes for one cycle, some people find they burn even more if they do second or third cycles

I think there are a lot of factors, straight sugary treats like cake and cookies are worse than eating a snickers bar (which has a decent balance of protein, fat and carbs in comparison. but being insulin resistant, I can tell you that even a little binge of and extra piece of toast with jam, can make a weeks effort futile…

FYI... worked as a supplier to McDonalds for two years, growing all of their lettuce and other fresh vegetables used in their stores. As part of that, I was sent to their quality training school, and I can tell you that they are very conscious of the SUPER SIZE ME tag, But that the first thing anyone in McD management will…

couldn't have said it better

Just going to say that as the sugar-holic in my house, I'd love to put the blame on my wife for not making 'healthy' meals, but its my problem, and until I can OWN it, I can't fix it. Same for your man, you can offer to help, but if he can't give up the chocolate... going to be a long ride.
-
Gad, this is so funny!! made me roar and scared my secretary.... when I first met my wife, there was a sign on her street that said BUMP, and since then, it's been a joke that we spell it out and say BUMP every time we see the sign on the road or side. So this is hilarious, first thing I thought was to read it wrong and…

I just don't look good in a bikini... sigh

Just casually THROW THEM OUT

I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold products, the chocolate and creamy vanilla are both very good, also Monster Milk is good, none of them have an aftertaste... be aware that all protein powders aren't equal as well, some are better before and after workouts, others before bedtime for slow absorption... Champion Nutrition's…

AHTH!!! hey wait, can I say that in Chinese? 大家要欢呼牛角帽子！！！ just doesn't roll off the tounge the same way...

Last week: 300.4# This week: 305.6# AGGHGGHHHHH!!! something isn't right in this equation... how the same %#^# do you gain 5# in a week even if you only exercise THREE days and 5 workouts... and manage your calories EASILY below TDEE (I mean, assuming I was off by 10-20%, I'd still be below projected TDEE) So, CRAPOLA!@!…

I keep chicken breasts loaded in my fridge and freezer... because 1) they are quick and easy to cook with very little prep 2) great source of protein 3) very lean, and tasty if you cook it right 4) only 160 calories for 4 oz breast (I usually eat TWO) a couple hints - 1) thaw your breast, then spray lightly with canola oil…

totally awesome

I might note that the key to eating a LOT of protein in your diet (above that magic 25%) is to ensure you are drinking water CONSTANTLY.... my son carries a 1 gallon (128oz) jug with him everywhere (including his college classes)... he fills it once a day... yes, he visits the porcelain wall unit regularly during the day…

Eggs Myth - people with high choleterol and HBP can't eat eggs (yes, they can) Myth - more than 30g of protein a day can't be digested and metabolized by the body. (the practical guideline is 0.8g/kg of body weight 220 lbs / 2.2 lbs per kg x 0.8 = 80 gm of protein... for 220 pound person, that is 80gm minimum (also equals…
