  • Everyone at my house is used to it by now when I measure out my food. When my wife makes a special new recipe, she measures everything out to let me know what she put in it. I would take a scale to the restaurant and measure everything out. (My teenagers would cringe when the scale came out). Now I just ask the…

  • I had allergy tests done at the end of November and it is an extremely extensive list including items like: soy, cocoa, chicken, oregano, garlic, coconut, basil, parsley, paprika, sesame, oats, gluten, dairy, eggs, honey, almonds, beef and turkey. Trust me the list is much longer than this. I've resided to cooking my own…

  • NatureMade: Excellent point about Hemp. That is one of my biggies. My breakfast is typically vegan with about 62 grams of protein coming from a shake that I make that consists of brown rice protein, hemp, cashew butter, etc. Feel free to check out my food profile to get what I put into it. If you are into shakes and are…

  • A couple that I don't see mentioned here: brown rice, brussel sprouts (I love roasting these with Hawaiian salt), black beans, lentils, and green peas (unfortunately I'm allergic to these). Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

  • For the first time around, I lost 125 lbs and was in pretty good shape (I was 339 and got down to 214). Work and a couple of family issues came up that made it very hard to keep up with what I was doing. In not time at all I put back on 60 lbs. I'm back on my way hoping to get in better shape. The funny story is that my…

  • 2010 Ford Mustang Convertible (black with white stripes) with cool air intake and duel exhaust. It is definitely my getaway car.

  • Excellent read! You have me rethinking what I have been doing. I'm still stuck on the shakes as I have some foods that I am intolerant to (chicken and turkey). Go figure! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

  • To display the calories burned you might want to go to the FT4 or the FT7. I currently own a FT7 (I am very happy with it). Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
    in Polar HRM Comment by halhix January 2012
  • The first time I hit my goal, I took my whole family to Hawaii (5 kids and a pregnant wife). Now that I am back at this again and trying to lose weight, I may take only my wife to Hawaii the next time.

  • I agree with stefaniee83. I don't ever figure that I will ever be able to add up all my calories down to the last one that I consume (did I eat 5 grapes or 6). You should also figure that the HRM isn't going to be exact either when providing the calories you burned. I understand that they could be off as much as 20% or…
    in Adjusted Exercise Calories Comment by halhix January 2012
  • I have the same struggle for getting my calories up as well. I usually add nuts or a high protein/high fiber shake right at the end of my workout. You have to be careful of not getting enough calories in or your body will go into starvation mode. For those who are using MFP to track calories burned, I noticed that some of…
    in Getting harder to eat all the calories Comment by halhix October 2011
  • When I went through my first round of weight loss a couple of years ago, any time that I would hit a wall I would take in more calories and change my workout routine (I guess it would be something like the muscle confusion that a lot of trainers espouse today) to burn more calories. I noticed that I would typically hit a…
