you can friend me if you want... I'm down almost 50, and I have another 100 to go... so I know your pain...

by and large, the place you make money with Stevia or agave is cooking, not sweetening coffee... both require less to provide 'sweet'... agave's big thing is it sweetens at a low GI which minimizes any insulin response to it.... Stevia is also natural and low GI, but you can substitute a tbsp for every 1/4 cup in a recipe,…

I would tend to agree... I sit in an office chair and walk the plant two or three times a day (not strenuous at all), so I COULD be called sedentary, except that I workout two to three times each day and burn about 1000 calories a day... the good is that I CAN eat all those if I want too, the bad is that I SHOULD eat every…

don't sweat it, your in good shape with going over a little, in fact MFP in the automatic mode is generally way LOW on the protein side for people who work out consistently and want to build and maintain muscle mass... I don't know what yours is set to, but mine is manually configured to get 30% of my calories from…

well, let's not generalize it quite so broadly.... all right? you might not have noticed, but the M/F ratio is like 80/20... now, that's no excuse for a married guy to hit on someone... in defense of some of these guys, let's keep in mind that men who are happily married are often more comfortable supporting and offering…

I hate to agree here... but I read your whole post, and I am not some jealous woman... you don't come across well, your venting is based on the belief that everyone should notice. People are self-absorbed, they just don't notice subtle changes until it's like a lightbulb going on and/or you are literally a 'new' person to…

You don't list your Height/weight/Age, so no way to verify your numbers, but basically BMR/RMR tend to be used the same when they are actually different. RMR is your resting metabolic rate, and basically the calories required to continue to sustain life. Obviously, if you eat less, your body will adapt along the way, but…

Ditto!! +1

MFP can't know your metabolism exactly, but the formulas they are using are the ones that scientists have developed over the years to an acceptable degree of accuracy for the general public. Just like calipers to check body fat aren't always 100% accurate, but a hydrostatic weighing is usually less than 0.1% off. So, your…

EAT YOUR CALORIES... at some point, you can't eat all your exercise calories everyday (and shouldn't -EVERYDAY), but the reality is that you are burning fuel out of your body, and your body is a little lazy, and will pull from the easiest source... if you do not provide fuel that goes back to your muscles quickly, it's…

PS I use Champion Nutrition Whey Protein (Chocolate)... it has a little aftertaste if mixed with water... eh, what the heck.. but I rarely mix straight water and whey shakes anyway. My standard shake: 1 scoop Access Chocolate Slam (Melaleuca product) 70 cals 1 scoop Champ Nut Whey Protein (chocolate) 130 cal 20 blueberries…

Lots of stuff out there, key is that you get about 2 g Carb 2g Fat & 22g protein per serving..

See, I told you... you look GREAT!!!!! my goodness, don't sweat it if it takes another year to lose the other 10#, I think if you just are reasonable about what you eat, pamper yourself here and there, and keep up with your exercise, you'll find they kind of 'slip away'... but you don't need to stress, you truly look…
-
Not a PT or Dr, but let me tell you. I have run for years, this last lay off put on the 30# I'd lost, and then 20# more, at Christmas I was the most embarrassed I have ever been in front of my kids, I couldn't even walk a mile without my legs dying and lower back tightening up. My calves and feet felt the same when I…

Okay, I'm a guy, we aren't always the best validators, and I hate lying (and you can't hit me anyway)... so I am just being honest. You look really good... congrats As you keep working, your going to keep toning and tightening, so don't sweat it, by the time you get that last 20 knocked out later this year, you'll be 'just…
-
yup, you do come across as arrogant and cocky, and you might remember that while you look great today, some of us did too 30 years ago, life can get in the way.. but you don't know what that means... your too busy telling other people to avoid proven choices for getting protein into your body. I'm not big on a protein…

I swim, and you would think that going 25m one way, and then turning around would be boring 55 times in a row, but it isn't, because you can stop, stare at the people who stare at you.. or you can switch strokes... I play games with myself by doing 50m, then 100m, then 50m fast, then 200m, and mixing crawl with…

working out with my son on the leg press machine doing what was usually a normal workout.. pressed up, and then all of a sudden in my mind I'm seeing what is an inch thick steel cable come completely unshredded and break, and in my groin, I can FEEL that. Ended up with a 3rd degree strain in my groin and a sports hernia...…

Days where I pound out 900-1000 calories in exercise, I am finding it really hard to eat them all. But in reality, the week I lost 4 pounds, I did very well with coming close. I don't think you need to eat them everyday, but in reality, your exercise calories should be REPLACED in some respects.. There's someone on MFP…
-
#1, you really should evaluate how much your getting. For weight loss, the standard MFP values (%) is actually low. You should be getting at least 20% if not 25-30% of your calories from protein every day... Protein is the only nutrient that provides muscle building amino acids, your body can't manufacture some of them, it…

I'm on a 2027 calorie count, and I fight to not have 500 calories... almost everyone either works a full-time job, or goes to school, or both... I wouldn't use your job as a calorie burn, unless your a construction guy or doing lifting constantly. You asked for tips, I've been up and down, but I've been successful when I…

I can promise you that fasting those two meals isn't going to slow your weight loss journey, in fact, if you work hard on Saturday prior, and Monday following, your body is going to think your nuts for not feeding it on Sunday. Key following a fast is to have a small simple meal with sugary carbs (in this case, I suggest…

going to sound weird, but I swear by it, if you retain water too much, you'll have to pass... but a miracle for cramps is PICKLE JUICE, specifically DILL PICKLE JUICE.. not a lot about 3 oz does the trick, drink it 10 minutes before you work out, chase it with a glass of water.

Wow!! that's awesome, great job... I am impressed!!

Very impressive, gotta ask... Army? Marines?

Shanghai, China.... yeah, that's a long way from home

Note that sodium alone isn't the culprit, you have to make sure you are still getting your water to PULL the sodium out of your system. What isn't metabolized and used, has to come out in urine, and water is the medium that it uses from transport. The only other way, is to literally SWEAT it out... and that's a good way,…
