The calorie numbers are way off too. It's assuming x-minutes of near continuous training, so be aware of that before attempting to eat the workout calories, you'll go over.

excellent program, it works! If you find yourself repeating a particular week due to difficulty, don't worry. Just keep at it

watching a youtube video and the "trainer" suggested it

do whatever keeps you motivated. The important thing is to keep going. Home, gym, outdoors, just go go go .

washing out pig stalls. I helped a farmer one summer as a teen and he wanted his stalls cleaned and swept out weekly. thinking of it brings back the smell. yea.

very cool, going to try this. thanks

tons of body strength training content on youtube and from there you will find links to sites of the trainers. But beyond that, there are the big four; -pushup -chin up -squat -crunch From them, many exotic combinations can be derived. Someone mentioned the kettlebell and or clubbell, great portable tools for full body…

me. I tried doing stuff for others and quickly lose motivation. Certainly the people I care about most will enjoy some benefits from my improved choices, namely my kids and my relationship with my wife. Yet, I'm doing it for me. No other valid reason IMO.

I'll agree with Johnny_castle there. The logging should be dictated by a goal.

When i encounter a meal away from home such as with family or a restaurant that doesn't exactly fit into the system, I just break it down. You know if you had some meat, some mash, assume butter and salt. Or just wing it from something close on the list. The point being, this isn't an exact science so much as it is a…

Great for all indoor and outdoor activity. Machine washable, air dry. They even have socks for when it's cold. I haven't worn "normal"…

yep liquor store and YES avoid cooking wines. Marsala is so delicious! Some for the meal and some for the chef, yes? Enjoy your food.

absolutely anything I dont recognize as coming from nature

unless the loose skin is so severe that it needs to be rolled and tucked to allow for clothing, there shouldn't be surgery. This will only occur in the most severe weight loss scenarios, such as Biggest Loser, where people shed 100s of pounds during the season of the show. Otherwise the body will do it's best and maintain…

dude, i have that book!

lol

Friday morning, right after taking care of business.

i agree but the program isn't perfect. I adjusted the % protein until I hit near my .8-1g per lb of lean target mass then saw what it was recommending for carbs and it wasnt bad. Weight was dropping and the lean mass is growing uniformly. By lean target mass I'm saying my goal weight. I'm not trying to feed the fat so if…

Under my Home / Goals / change goals; if you're using default values you will exceed protein easily. select custom then a ratio of say; 45% 40% 15% for carbs, protein and fat. then see how your scoring. These goals allow you to try and fuel up for exercise and some hard muscle gain. all good.

your problem was likely mine as well. poor strength in the core. My upper body and legs could put up some good numbers lifting but I didnt nothing for abs/core. Subsequently I also had some great numbers around the waist and on the scale as well. The net result was back pain when I ran, walked, stood, sat, got in and out…

so long as your foods are from sources you can identify and natural, i wouldn't worry about the protein. the default goals are on the low side and you can exceed a few parameters easily.

welcome to MFP, I'm on a 100lb loss journey myself. Is that like 50 kilo more or less? Regardless, the site and the people are great.

"food industry" is too broad a brush. Some sell FOOD. Others sell objects you can ingest and garner some nutrition from, with acceptable side effects. Once people are educated in the difference, they choose food. Imagine how small the market would be if only food were sold and you understand the motivation to not educate.

No there's a obesity epidemic because we defy or evolution by eating things that humans did not have and so cannot fully process, so the body does it's best with a bad situation. The inactivity can be a symptom as well as a cause, depending on the individual. Though almost all the food choices int he market are BAD.

the Chia has an amazing history going back thousands of years in South and Central America. The "fullness" comes from their ability to expand and hold MANY times their mass in water, in effect providing hydration over time as well as other nutrients. Stories tell of Inca or Aztec messengers surviving only on the Chia as…

Pretty much. What is it with all the man-children today??? Become the change. He will either be smart enough to join you or expose how incompatible he is with your goals. You however, must soldier on...and to hell with making 2 dinners. Seriously.

you're absolutely right, I miss interpreted the post. There's no comparison.

cool guys, every so often wander back and invite folks you dont have as friends yet.

I re-read your post. The guy is an *kitten*. I'm so sorry.
