I agree with you... Let me give you a hint though.... Go to google, type in "clean eating site:myfitnesspal.com" and you get the benefits of a powerful search engine, but all of the results will come from this site.... Tha being said, start by eating only fresh foods... Nothing from a can or a box. If it grew in, walked on…

So grege, I just went to that site and put in calisthenics, vigerous and came back with about 700 as opposed to my HRM which said 825... so that is pretty close considering... Also, there was no entry for insanity and if you have ever done the workout, you would know it is a little... umm... INSANE so thanks for the…

HRM guy myself... I just did 55 minutes of balls to the wall insanity max plyo intervals and burned just over 800 calories with an average HR of 92% of max....

When I am in the "zone" I can resist anything... When I am "off the wagon" I will pretty much eat anything that is TERRIBLE for you to excess. That being said, I would say my cant resist is frosting from the can. The can being provided by that *kitten* Betty Friggen Crocker.

Hmm... maybe something this trendy is not something I WANT to be associated with... but I am curious.

My daily budget is 1450 (Based on MY BMR.....) I burn between 400-1000 calories during 60 minutes of exercise... I eat back all but 200-400 of those calories and I lose on average 3-5 pounds a week. I have lost 30 pounds using the MFP calculators. That is just MY experience. With MY metabolism... on MY Diet.... 41 Y/O…

Hmmm... tried to check it out, but the firewall blocked it as a "social networking" site... what is it?

They dont call it comfort food for nothing! Stress eating, major issue. Then combine it with stressed out industry with little time for good food preperation and you have a health epidemic. Looks like you have risen above!! Congrats.

Whats up with the three days crap? So, if I choose to take a vacation and not bring my smart phone I will come back to no friends?

That's awesome firegirl.... We are volunteer 1800-0600 and paid 0600-1800. The fire service is a good time, so is EMS... Most people suck, but when we do get to help the decent ones or the ones who are in real need it is good.

At the station right now... I work 12's and 24's on the weekends. I do P90X or Insantity in the town hall because the other fat, lazy FF's and EMT's just sit there and laugh at me the whole time while I keep dropping pounds, and will need to give them an IV, 12 Lead and Nitro any minute now :)

A glance and a smile is what I mean... charisma... if they appreciate it they will smile back, if not... you get accused of glancing and smiling, not leering.

Yeah, men who have no charisma do not realize they just look creepy when they stare.

Thanks Steph... that was my resolution this year... if I slip up on diet and exercise I always have tomorrow to make it right. Thanks for the motivation and reminder.

With 42 pounds loss I would not change a thing!!

Calories in Calories out... That being said none of them come from pastries, sweets, candy, etc... I also eat only high fiber, multi grain breads and pastas but those are limited to. I did the 5000 calories of steak and brocolli for almost a decade with a lot of success, but by that I mean I didnt gain weight... which in…

Yup, your hot.

Two cups of manhatten clam chowder sans bacon, and made with veggie stock instead of chicken stock. (200 Calories) low fat cottage cheese cup w/sliced cherry tomotoe and pepper (90 Calories) oikos yogurt with grapes (180 Calories) And... a banana!! (75 Calories) Stuffed to the gills, less than 500 calories.

Posers

The point I am trying to make is that not all athletes are created equal, and neither is their training... so, I will admit I am involved in a niche sport (Highland Games Heavy Athletics) but any thrower (Shot Put, Discuss or Hammer) that competes on a world stage pushes and pulls BIG weights. They do this in combination…

Paula Deen made me fat.

With cream and sugar... but... I DRINK it black, no sugar....

I get embarrased and usually say something stupid. I try to remember to get a thank you in there but it is not something I am used to so it always takes me by surprise.

Your picture looks like your a body builder, and your lifting is all about muscle definition so complete control is important. If you were lifting max weight to increase ability for a sporting event or competition that required heavy lifting and speed you often need to lift weights that are more than you can simply control…

I came all the way to this thread looking for pictures!

Bianca, one year ago I would have laughed at anyone who made this suggestion but I would advice getting one of the workout video's on the market... Slim in 6, 30 Day Shreder and Zoomba (Is that spelled correctly?) would be a good start, and then maybe P90X or Insanity down the road. They worked wonders for me and my wife,…

Sandie... maybe start with your old routines just to get back into the swing of lifting and training.

Mama, that is a tremendous amount of work and results!! Nice job, and for many of us we know the sweating, heavy breathing and agony you go through on a regular basis to get those results so hats off to you and keep up the good work!!

phatty41 has a hot belly

I am glad it worked out for you. They are usually nice gyms with good equipment. I am not fond of them because the whole judgment free thing does not apply to you if you happen to be one of those who oly lift big weight for competition... then you get judged but for the vast majority of people they are a great gym at an…
