It was difficult for me to grasp as well but after a 6 month plateau I finally gave into the logic, started eating more and lost another 30 lbs. I am no longer a doubter. Everyone is different but be patient and don't make adjustments too quickly as you need to know how your body is going to react before you make a change.…

If you can spend about $100 and get one of the scales that will calculate it for your. Makes life much simpler and the technology is pretty accurate. You can find them online or at Best Buy. I purchased the Aria one and had a hydro test for body fat done by my DR and they were within one tenth of a percent difference on…

There are a lot of jobs out there right now that pay decent, no matter what is being said. They don't require a lot of experience and they are in all sectors. I know because I am a hiring mgr at my company and we have positions that stay open for weeks and months at a time. The problem that I often hear is that the…

I feel exactly the same way if I miss or short change a cardio workout. 60 is the minimum for me and 90 is the norm. Try mixing up your diet instead.

I cannot cut back on my workout (7 days a week) or I will go nuts. I usually try mixing up my diet. I either raise or lower my calorie intake or adjust macro nutrients like carbs, fat and protein. For me I have found this the most effective way to break through. The only adjustment I ever make to my cardio workout is what…

Check out a device like Fitbit (www.fitbit.com) and consider something like that to assist with this.

If you want to be "lean" you must add cardio and strength training to your routine. Other than that you look like you have decent balance. I would make some different choices but they are all personal preference for instance I would eliminate the cereal and add oatmeal (often with a tsp of natural peanut butter) for…

Tuna or Salmon pouches. I often put Tuna in a seal-able bowl along with a tsp of salsa and will eat that in a tortilla. Pack that in a cooler with some yogurt and you have a quick under 10 minute snack that is high in protein and good for you. Maybe throw in a tomato and carrots.

I personally have never tried it, I do however know someone who has been on it and weight loss has been good. He did state that the first two weeks he had cravings for carbs that he would liken to the type of things one would experience if they stopped smoking. We are now training for triathlons and he is finding that it…

Alright, the really funny entries would be the difference in how each participant logged it..."he logs wild passionate night time activity" and "she logs average night time activity"...would create an interesting conversation LOL.

You are eating fast food and pre-prepared products that contain sodium and lowered nutritional value. Fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, chicken - these need to be staples in your diet. You can make some simple adjustments and you won't just lose weight, you will feel better. There will always be reasons not to make changes…

Same way with me. What I am finding is that those who feel that way do so in an effort to make themselves feel better. Most likely they are not as fit or committed to a healthy lifestyle and have some guilt because of it and the project that onto you. Keep up the good work and as long as you give yourself ample time to…

I too love peanut butter but I only buy the all natural containing only peanuts. The kind you have to stir when you bring it home and refrigerate. No trans fat or other nasty stuff. I eat 1 TSP a day in my oatmeal for morning fat and protein and then I enjoy one teaspoon one slice of the low cal flat bread (50 cal) in the…

I think the critical point you make is "HOW DO YOU LIVE" and quite fine knowing Johnny Crackhead was alread committing a crime during which I am sure he was not wearing a sign that said I am only here for the Playstation. At what point do I full understand his intent; before or after he kills me?

Pro Gun (and for the comment of Johnny crackhead breaking into steal my xbox or whatever, how do I know what his intent is, he committed the crime of breaking in in the first place and as soon as the police clear the scene I will go right back to bed and sleep soundly with my back up gun by my nightstand until they police…

I eat it every day. Steel cut when I have time, never the instant packages...too much junk in them. 1/2 cup Oatmeal (before cooking) 1 tsp natuaral peanut butter (the kind you have to stir) 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp truvia 2 oz coconut or almond milk gives me carbs, protein and a little fat and keeps me feeling full until about…

Change is difficult for those around us. It is not necessarily that they are being critical but more likely just a little anxiety around things that are not "business as usual." My wife does the same thing and it is simply equal parts of her own insecurities, change in a couple decades worth of routine and just natural…

Use it all every day for daily activity but I utilize a hrm for cardio workouts as it is more accurate. When I enter the details into MFP it cancels out that activity for the same time from Fitbit so it is not counted twice (you enter the time and duration of your work out). I have lost more than 40 lbs utilizing both MFP…

Drink at least 16 OZ of water before you eat, after you have finished your pre-planned portions get up from the table and force yourself to do something right after dinner that keeps your mind busy for at least 15 to 20 minutes and you will lose the hungry feeling you experience. If not have a small snack like raw carrots…

You may have been until some drunk put their car into a tree and now I am up and lame too!

Accepting any requests, it all adds up to motivation. Feel free to add me.

Lost over 40 so far and almost at my goal (5 lbs to go). Feel free to add me if you wish.

Oatmeal (Steel Cut when I have the time) and a sliced apple with cinnamon. Coffee with real cream

I can assure you I don't fit your stereotype, I am well traveled and appreciate our freedom. There is not another country on the planet that compares (at least for now). The problem is that we are trying too much to be like the rest of the world we are losing what made us special in the first place. You keep laughing and…

You are obviously too simple to understand that it is not about the soda, it is about individual liberty and the freedom of choice. Even the freedom to make a bad one. If you are always forced to make the right choice by the government then down the road the only choices will be those of the government and which of the…
