Weigh it.

Carbodydrates are the first form of fuel our bodies use in the form of muscle glycogen. Our muscles also store water as a part of the process. Drop your carbs down to only veggies for a day. You will pee your brains out and that pound will disappear. Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. a pound is a pound is a pound.…

In my house we can co-exist because the Patriots are AFC and the Giants are NFC. Until the Superbowl that is.....Go Giants! In Connecticut we are surrounded so mixed households are normal. I just can't tolerate Dallas.....

I LOVE my Livestrong Elliptical 8.0. I bought it at ****sSportingGoods. It has levels I will never reach but I know I will never grow out of it either. Compared to the ones at the gym it kicks my butt!! I love it....did I mention I love it?

If I dont stay under 1200 I dont lose. I am 5'7" and 185. I am frustrated because even at 1100 I dont lose. I have tried 1500 and 1300 and gained. Even with moderate exercise. I travel for work and spend long hours in the car. I am not hungry at 1200, just frustrated that I dont see results. :-(

Also, MFP's calories burned for excercise are always off to me. Check out LIVESTRONG.com or use this formula: (.074* your age)+(.4472 * Heart Rate)-(.05741*your weight)-20.4022 * (time/4.184) = calories burned

I read about it today. Fruit, veggies, lean meat and avoid processed carbohydrates including grains. I am not comfortable with the whole cave man reference and you really need to get adequate B vitamins and fiber although you can do it without grains its just harder. As a nutritionist I like that he his published and peer…

Very inspiring. I have been that frustrated person for 10 years! If I can keep 2 lbs a month off for good I will appreciate it like you do! Congratulations!

Agreed!

I love my elliptical, it does everything I need it to. Raises my heart rate, offers me a challenge and its in my office. Everything I have read says that it is the same work out as running. If you do an hour make sure you give yourself a challenge by raising the level or incline if you have it. You don't want your work out…

a calorie deficit will result in weight loss, thats the science of it in a nutshell. 3500 calories to lose 1 pound. It does not however protect you nutritionally. You have to meet your energy needs or you will lose muscle mass and become a less efficient calorie burner and gain it all back. Eat a variety of low calorie…

While this is theoretically true, I know that I am always retaining some water in the morning. I can test this by how my rings feel on my hand. I too have to wait awhile until I weigh in. Carbohydrates cause our muscles to store some water. If I have a heavier carb day the day before I tend to retain more. If I excercise…

I'm in Grad school too. Part time though. Still a challenge but I would rather be taking a class and studying than watching nothing on TV. I did pretty well at the winery saturday, I excercised early in the day, stayed with small portions and we shared a Tapas style "meal" at the winery. It was light and filling and I…

Thanks to all for your thoughts. This is what I use and it seems to be accurate based on research. The Journal of Sports Sciences provides a calorie expenditure formula for each gender. Men use the following formula: Calories Burned = [(Age x 0.2017) -- (Weight x 0.09036) + (Heart Rate x 0.6309) -- 55.0969] x Time / 4.184.…

I use this formula. It really helps me determine the difference between regular 30 minutes on the elliptical and when I do intensity or interval training. The biggest difference is always the heart rate average for me. The Journal of Sports Sciences provides a calorie expenditure formula for each gender. Men use the…

Break-the-fast! Also, carbohydrates nourish your nervous system and your brain! :wink:
