How many exercises/sets per muscle group are you doing? Also is recommend do more weight and less reps. For instance 3 sets of 6-10 reps at a weight were you are doing it to failure, for large muscle groups back/shoulders/chest/legs you need to do atleast 3 exercises for that muscle group and 2-4 exercises for biceps and…

Like said above I wouldn't be too concerned about heart rate unless u have some sort of heart condition. My heart rate normally spikes to 175-185 when doing my HIIT. I'm 24

My routine routine right now is Monday chest and tri Tuesday Back,shoulder, and Bi Wed Legs Thur rest Fri Chest shoulder and tri Sat Back/shoulder and bi So hitting a muscle group two times a week is fine. If you are only doing one muscle group 2 times a week i suggest doing a large group like chest or shoulder

I wouldn't be concerned about too much protein, like previous posters have said mfp has protein set too low normally. Good luck with those last 10 lbs ;)

I find once a week works good, and I take pics and measurements once a month, if I weigh myself dailey I get neurotic and drive myself nuts and get discouraged sometimes.

Yea turkey Bacon is a waste of calories,

I had 5 pieces of Bacon Sunday, Bacon rocks

Not very accurate, atleast the one I have. I have weighed myself in the same day and have it tell me my bf% is 23% abs 40% in the same day, I'm around 24-25 most likely

JEFIT app or bodybuilders.com is what I use to make my routines and choose what exercises to do

Me and my wife have been doing it about 125ish days. We have lost 78ish give or take ;)

Having to buy a while new wardrobe... And trying to keep my wifes hands off of me ;) I can dream right lol

I have never done one but have been thinkin about doing the one in Oct in ky. If its a year away I do not see why you couldn't do it. A year of eating right and training is a long time to accomplish a lot weight loss and fitness wise. If you are dedicated and work hard and eat right I think its doable, just depends how bad…

First off cardio is great for heart health and you can burn off a fair amount of calories if it is done long enough or intense enough, that being said weight loss is 90% diet and 10% exercise. Eating 5-6 small meals a day mean nothing of you are not on a a calorie deficit. Also you don't have to way 5-6 small meals a day.…

I drink ON GOLD standard double chocolate, its my post workout treat. I normally do 1 cup of skim milk with one scoop of powder. Runs me 240 cals, about 30 grams of protein and taste like chocolate milk. Blends decent in a shaker cup but you have to really shake it. I prefer to use the blender tho, if I have the calories…

I have went from 253 to 210 In about 4 months and strength train is basically all I do. I lift 5 days a week about 5 hours total give or take. And the most cardio I do In a week is 2-3 miles on the treadmill split up between two sessions so like 30 min of cardio maybe. Some weeks I do not even do cardio. I have been losig…

Protein is the most important, you should be getting around a gram of protein per lbm. Not sure your size but id say 80-100 grams a day would be plenty. Also if you start drinking protein shakes do it post workout within 60-90 minutes of lifting. This is the very most important time to muscle building. Also ignore the post…

Also when you take it pre workout take it 45-60 mim before you start, it takes about that long to absorb into your blood stream. Also I forgot to mention to make sure you drink plenty of water, I think this is why I didn't experience any bloating and many people do. Lack of water consumption

Took the words out of my mouth

I'm not a woman or an expert by any stretch but ill share my experience, I started at 253 and am down to 210, I have taken creatine basically the whole time, started with creatine mono pills now I'm taking kre akaline which is basically a ph balanced form of creatine that is suppose to absorb at a better rate. From studies…

Not trying to argue but you have about an hour post workout to drink your protein shake to get the full benefits.

Use the protein powder post workout, will be more beneficial

I never count spices when cooking, for me personally I don't believe 5-20 calories from spices is going to make or break my weight loss

My favorite "cheat" food is probably ice cream, wings or a big bleu cheese burger. I just eat them every now and then and fit them in my calories the best I can. No reason you can't have a brownie and milk once a week or every couple weeks. Just fit it in your calories the best you can and eat a reasonable size brownie

Bourbon street chicken and some brocoli and rice, so. Yummy

Im am in the same situation of you and use sedentary, I eat 1600 cals on non workout days and 1600-1900 on workout days

Squats and anything ab related

Within 60-90 minutes after working out

As long as exercise 3-4 days a week I don't see the problem with u eating 1500 a day. I never eat my workout calories back I eat 1600-17// cals a day whther I dont work out or burn 300-400 calories at the gym.

Both have their benefits, free weights a probably "better". I do s combo of both. Prolly 60-70% free weights and 30% machines. Shoot for 6-10 reps 2-4 sets

Well I ate 4000 (1600 is normal intake) calories of wings and cheese dip basically lol, but I lost 2.2 lbs this week so I would call that surviving. Couldn't be happier
