  • Pretty significant information that I need to look at more closely. Thanks for posting!
  • yes, they are so delicious though.
  • I am pretty good about putting everything in my journal. I never weigh my food exactly but after a year of watching what goes onto my plate, I would say I am pretty accurate. My worst food to journal is peanuts. I am allergic to tree nuts, so I can't eat almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc and the only snack type nut I can eat…
  • Sign me up for the challenge. I've lost 34 pounds lost since February. My wife finally convinced me to do some clothes shopping and I could not believe my eyes when I was able to button up and move around in a pair of 38" jeans. I have been parked in 42" jeans for several years now. This was a very motivational moment for…
  • I don't feel the pain when doing it, which was why I was able to get through 2 sets. It hits me like a truck the next day though. A trainer at my office says that I should roll out my quads with a rolling pin and that would reduce the pain as well as stretch out the muscle for future sessions.
  • what am I doing wrong? I decided to incorporate some strength training the last couple of weeks and ultimately needed to take almost 4-5 days off after fatiguing my quads so much that it hurts to stand up or sit down. I've tried these workouts on the previous Sunday or Monday nights: Dumbbell workout from Men's Fitness:…
  • I didn't catch onto this thread prior to the July 4th challenge, but I'll post up my numbers: 02/02/10 : 255.4 (SW) 03/03/10 : 244.4 04/10/10 : 236.8 05/02/10 : 235.2 06/07/10 : 233.0 06/21/10 : 227.8 This morning was the lowest weigh-in I've had in several years. Yesterday, I performed the Dumbbell Workout from Men's…
  • Hey, guys! I started in February at 255.5, probably the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I am 36, 5' 6" but I am stocky, so I never understood how those BMI calculators could say I needed to weigh 155 lbs. In Feb. of this year, I thought I was having kidney stones, which led to an anxiety attack, which led me to think…
  • BFFM works! Several years ago, I followed BFFM for about 8 months and went from 232 to about 185. The main philosophy I recall from BFFM was to eat clean and to use High Impact Interval Training. After surgery to both of my ankle ligaments and some general apathy and laziness I went back up to 255 earlier this year. I had…
  • Two days ago, I hit the elliptical trainer for 1 hour and 2 minutes. That was the longest I have ever run! I was really excited and exhausted at the same time, LOL! I burned 1018 calories and was in the zone for 1 hour and 1 minutes!
  • I don't use the Nike+ for monitoring, but I can put in a great recommendation for the new Nike Free Run shoes. They are Nike+ capable, but they are some extremely great shoes that simulate barefoot running. They really give you a great amount of flexibility in your feet while you are running. I do all of my running on an…

  • the stuff that really gets me hitting the elliptical hard are trance/house music. They are non-stop beats and with some lyrics thrown in. I just started getting into these Podcasts: Radio 538: Tiesto's Club Life Podcasts - 50 minutes of non stop trance/house/techno A State of Trance Official Podcast - 30-40 minutes of…
  • I have the FT4 and it does the job, although it doesn't have many bells and whistles. The F6 looks like it would offer more bang for your buck, if you ask me.
