I do not have an issue at all. I have learned that as long as the woman has a pleasant personality, good character and confidence in herself, I can work within the process of working together on a healthier lifestyle. But this works both ways, girls need to see that too. I find that people who have known me during the…

It was a *****, but week 1 is completed. I worked 18 minutes of jump roping in by doing 2 minute intervals throughout my workout today. I got a ton of compliments on my workout after I was done and even got my future ex wife to agree to go out on a bike ride this week. Let's hear some updates!

Just returned from a trip to Cedar Point and I wanted to add a note here as I pulled this thread up when researching the trip. I was able to ride all of the rides except for millenium force and the dragster. Several were pretty snug but in general most were ok. My weight is 258, I wear a size 40" pants and a loose XXL…

a little bit behind pace, only 6 minutes after soccer tonight

8 minutes today, did four 2 minute sessions in between sets.

I have spent a lot of time researching this with various sources because I had mixed signals. It really comes down to what you are trying to do. The consensus from dietitians and those with an emphasis on body development more so than weightlifting, all indicated that you should wait 30 to 60 minutes. Here is an article I…

I am having a hard time with this very issue, I thought I was ready and updated my profile and pics to fit what you described above. Funny thing is I don't seem to get any responses to my emails, even though I can see they visit my profile. I decided this weekend not to really worry about the online thing for a couple of…

This is a great idea! During my cross fit class last Sunday the girl who runs it talked about adding jump rope intervals to my current workout routine to change things up. So my plan was to add 5 two minute sessions in between my supersets. That will cover 4 days of the week, now to figure out the other three days :)

Great job richard

Courtney, That is a good idea, that is why I liked either of the options because we could do both or either.

I am trying to get into it! I am up to 20 mile rides and I have a feeling my ankles and knees are going to encourage me to give up running and stick with the bike. I am trying to organize a MFP gathering up here in Michigan on July 1st, that will be focused around a ride also.

Awesome job, that list of NSV's is something to be proud of!

My month is filling up quicker than I realized, I am usually out on the bike path every weekend now that the weather is nice. How is Sunday July 1st for doing a small picnic/get together? Option A) We could meet at Metro Beach and then bike out the trail to a given point and return for a picnic. Here are the estimated…

Clinton Township

Good luck! I just ran my first one last Saturday and followed my normal schedule up to Thursday, then did a short run on Saturday morning followed by a good yoga session. One thing that got me was the rush right before starting the race, I started off real quick out of the gates and that sort of goofed up my pace, lol I…

I am thinking a Sunday, maybe the 17th or 23th of June. Would earlier or later afternoon work best?

That sounds pretty cool!

That is an awesome before/after or 17 days! What was your workout schedule like for those days?

Before and during :)

Clinton Township here!

Definitely this

My first purchase was a "touch based" HRM and the previous poster was spot on with this comment. I had some crazy burns with that thing but upgraded to a polar model with chest strap and the first time I used it, I tried both units. The touch one was more than double the polar and the polar was about 10% less than MFP.

That is so awesome, congrats on the hard work!

This is so true! When I first started trying to reach Ketosis I couldn't seem to get past trace. I finally got a tip from another LC'er that said you need to deplete the stored glucose and increase the amount of fat I was eating. It finally took me three days of under 25g's, close to 75g of fat and 2 really good calorie…

Vodka w/ water & a slice of lemon or lime is 55 to 65 calories per oz of vodka (depends on brands) and you can alternate plain water with the vodka w/ water and nobody knows the difference :)
