I like doing push-ups and usually don't have a problem with them. I'm working on my pull-ups now. I can do about 3 full body pull-ups and its slowly getting better. Glad I LOVE lifting heavy. :bigsmile: Good luck with the new program!!

Someone asked me this the other day. After wanting to be around for my family, the main 2 things are the way I feel now and how I never want to go back to how I felt when I was heavy. When I was at my heaviest of 260, I was tired all of the time and had a hard time catching my breath. I could not walk long distances, let…

Thought it was time to Bump this up again. :bigsmile:

Great job!!!

I have never eaten exercise calories. In fact I don't enter my exercise until the end of the day so I have an accurate calorie reading. However- I also do not use the daily calories recommended by this site. I have strictly used this site to keep track of my calories consumed. I am, and have been, working with a trainer…

Definitely eat after your workout. My trainer always wants me to have something within 30min after I am done with my workouts. I always feel better when I do.

I joined MFP in Oct 2007 at 257lb I was size 22-24 Felt tired all the time Now I am 168 (Goal is 170- but no lower than 165) I'm a size 8-10 I feel Terriffic!!!!!!!! Lots of energy and more confident. I am still working with a trainer and trying to increase my strength and muscle mass. My goal now is to get down close to…

Thanks :blushing:

Tami, Fitness-Chick and Songbird, just to name a few out of so many. :drinker: :flowerforyou:

1. What is your goal? It was 185, then 175, now it's 20% bodyfat and stay between 165 and 170lbs. 2. How will you know when you get there? I already feel great and am close to my goal, but I know getting the bodyfat down will be harder than losing the weight was. But I know I can and will do it. It will just take a little…

I don't have a free day, but rather a free meal once a week. I have found that I can not eat the same things that I used to eat oh so long ago. I do make healthier choices, though sometimes I just can't resist and have something fried- though I pay for it later- LOL. I do count he calories though, and I still try to stay…

Definitely!!! :flowerforyou:

I wish I could make it, but I'll be working ALL day tomorrow & no computer time. Have a great chat. :glasses:

This sounds good to me. :bigsmile: I just started focusing on the strength for me. I was doing endurance while I was trying to lose weight, but now that I'm at my weight goal, I am changing to emphasize gaining my strength back. My goal is to be able to do at least 10 body-weight pull-ups. I can do 2 now. I just started a…

I agree. I have an F11, and I use it at the gym all the time. Even though the machines show my heartrate because I am wearing the transmitter, the cals burnt are completely different from the watch to the machine. The machines always seem to overestimate.

Great post!!!!!!!

I always enter my weight on the machines. After 30min of cardio, the machine usually shows anywhere from 100 to 200 cals over what my heart rate monitor shows.

I have found, at least for me, that the machines overestimate the calories burned. I have been told by the trainers at my gym to cut the calories in half that the machines show, and after using a HRM it is pretty close to that. Good job on the walk. :flowerforyou:
