I like the bowflex selecttech 552 dumbbells - look for a deal or buy them used.

Get a conceal carry permit, no reason to be afraid.

There isn't a single verified, peer-reviewed medical study saying that eating below your BMR is bad for you. In fact, there are numerous studies showing that eating below your BMR can lead to healthy weight loss. What you posted is basically a MFP urban legend.

Im taking 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon brown sugar splenda, and cinnamon to eat around 11 am Plus I've got some gnc lean shake 25 to do a shake around 3pm when I get hungry. Not sure what im eating for breakfast, maybe an omelette.
-
I got a free sample of these from gnc - the results were similar to drinking black coffee before working out. Maybe if I was in bodybuilding shape I would notice the difference, but if you.are just trying to lose weight I don't think they are a big help.

Yes, I do think 29 grams of protein is very low for what looks like a full meal, but to each their own, maybe you do not eat as much protein as I do. That is the equivalent of less than half a free range chicken breast, the equivalent of like 3 egg whites (60 calories) and has a lot more calories, fat, and processing. I…

It is pretty difficult to get adequate levels of protein eating a vegetarian diet. You have to be very well educated on it, and very careful, and eat a LOT of beans, quinoa, and other protein-containing grains. I eat vegetarian for lent, and its really tough to eat a healthy vegetarian diet, it gives you a lot of respect…

MFP is not gender specific, and does not take into account the amount of lean muscle mass you have. If you are a dude you need a lot more protein than they recommend just to maintain your current muscle tone. If you want any chance of building muscle at all while dieting, you need a LOT more protein than they recommend. I…

How about a boneless skinless chicken breast and a side of broccoli?

15 pounds in four weeks is so fast its borderline dangerous, you could probably be eating a little more and still losing 2 pounds a week, and feel a lot better / be a lot healthier. Now a little of that weight loss could be water from when you initially started your diet/exercise program, but losing 4 pounds a week is…

DO you have a First Watch restaurant near you? There is one near my work and if I don't have time to bring lunch, they have several egg white omelettes that all come in less than 400 calories, even with salad and an english muffin on the side
-
How much water are you drinking a day? Honestly your diet looks pretty good. Do you ever vary it? I'm eating around 1500 calories a day, but once a week or so I will go over by 300-400 calories (still under my TDEE by a lot) and occasionally I'll have a day where I am under by a hundred or two. I think varying it…

Do an egg white omelette full of veggies with whole wheat toast. I got that from a local breakfast place for lunch today, its extremely healthy.

Well it really depends on your personal metabolism. I lost weight with adkins, but gained it back (beer). I eat somewhat low-carb high protein now, but don't follow a specific diet book. Around 75% of the population are protein-efficient metabolizers and do well on adkins, paleo, south beach style of diet. Around 20% are…

One more thing - with health care costs being what they are in America, its too expensive to be fat!
-
A ten pound bag of potatos here is less than $3 american. $800 in groceries would last me and my wife around eight months. The fact that you spend it in one month is insane, you must have a great job! It is cheaper to eat healthy IF you are willing to put in some work and cook your food, and you don't live on an island…

Confidence - a lot of men don't realize it and think they like some physical trait, but from a man's perspective, confidence is the sexiest trait a woman can have.

If you think your BMR is "what your body needs to survive in a coma" then there is probably no hope for you to ever understand the interaction between nutrition and weight loss. Eating less than your BMR just means your body will get the energy from its reserves.... from the body's fat stores, from your lean muscle tissue,…
-
You need to drink two liters a day minimum, and if you are exercising or eating salty foods add some more. The biggest difference I see in my own weight loss comes from drinking plenty of water.
-
Go somewhere you have the nutritional info for, or order something you know is healthy. Do NOT trust what someone entered on MFP, there are a bunch of crazy estimates of calories in the database that are totally wrong. Sounds like you found another with 41 calorie mozzarella balls.
-
I don't know your fiance, so could be wrong, but this sounds like an excuse to me. If he thinks you look great now, he is going to like your body even more when you lose a little weight. Not sure why he would come up with an excuse like this. Could be he is really attached to his unhealthy diet, could be he feels out of…
-
Might be too much cardio. I know that sounds crazy, but when you do long periods of cardio (over an hour a day) your body can start to destroy muscle to fuel the long workouts, espeically if you are eating low calorie to begin with. This muscle destruction can lower your metabolism. Try switching to high intensity interval…

Sex: Male Age:30 Weight: 180 Height: 5'9" How many calories you NET per day: 1400 How many times per week you exercise w/ minutes: 4 or 5 times per week, 45-60 minutes. I've lost about 15 pounds in 6 weeks following this plan.

Don't just throw it away, that will tick him off. Men are problem solvers, it is our nature. He probably just believes if he can lose weight eating smaller amounts of the same stuff, it will work for you. You need to make sure he understands that will not work for you and explain why. Then ask him to help you come up with…

I don't know the calorie count, I have tried both of these before I was counting calories but didn't pay any attention then. I will say that no alcoholic beverage really works on a diet. Even the 64 calorie miller beers (which taste like urine smells) are really tough to work into a healthy diet. They do NOTHING to fill…

I prefer Keen hiking boots. Also get a roll if breathable medical tape so if you feel a blister spot you can tape it up before a blister forms
-
One other thing, I've heard the organic chicken hot dogs are very good, but you can't buy them where I live. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby you might be in luck.

If you are really backpacking, like hiking 5+ miles to your campsite carrying a 20+ pound pack, you will burn so many calories it isn't bad to eat a few extra. I'll regularly eat 4000 to 6000 calories a day while backpacking and I'll lose two or three pounds over the weekend, but we hike 6-8 miles a day and I usually have…

Do either of you have anything to back it up? I'm curious if there is a real scientific answer to this question

Google protein pancakes - basically its 1/2 a cup of whole oatmeal, 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese, and one egg. Some people substitute egg whites and baking powder for the egg, some people splash in vanilla or cinnamon. Blend all ingredients in a blender until it looks like pancake batter, you may need to add a little water.…
