I understand what you mean, I am a musician too. You really do elevate your energy level when performing. But you have to take that into account when setting your daily activity like others have said. My mailman doesn't set his acct to lightly active AND log his walking to the mailboxes, he just sets his BMR (basal…

Pumped Up Kicks! Stand Tall - by Dirty Heads!! No Bad Days - by Grab Bag!! (yet to drop)

Do what you can and stay dedicated to a schedule/routine. Insanity is nuts and I can't do all the exercises but I keep trying and pushing myself. The more I try = the more I can do every time! Best of luck! You WILL see results and feel improvements almost immediately.

Objectivism is a philosophy described by Ayn Rand...and she's a woman....making it difficult for her to be the Father of anything. Google is a great search engine that answers virtually every question one should ever pose, eliminating ignorance in all who seek knowledge. "As you seek, so shall you find"

Your diary doesn't look bad to me. I would suggest eating breakfast more regularly but I also remember drinking like you and not waking until lunch time most days!! You have good portion control and balance your intake well. Which is why you are 108....Trust me, 1 slice of cheese pizza per week is not going to kill you. 6…

this! and... I have a 12yo daughter, I am dreading this day as she just began menstruating. I would have to have a serious talk about the intense adult ramifications involved with sex and to lighten it up I would give her an aspirin to keep in her purse. When with a boy and feels the need for birth control, she is to hold…

This could mean that MFP is outta whack or that it is assuming that for your age/weight and exercise being performed you are hitting a higher HR.... One purpose of using a HRM is to assure you are reaching your target rate or zone for your intended results ie. fatburn, cardio, peak etc. That said, yes, your HRM will give…

I'd guess that you are building muscle (which weighs almost twice as much as fat per mass) which is actually GREAT NEWS! Do you have a scale that measures body fat? They help inform you of what's really happ'nin inside you. Remember muscle burns fat...nothing else! So the more muscle you mass you have, the easier the fat…

Husband Store A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the…

PM your email and i'll send you the book.....

what? if you expel every meal that is not right. To the OP, I have noticed the same thing and just chalk it up to me burning most of what I am eating resulting in less waste material to expel. I am going to up the fiber and water to see if it brings me back to normal though. I can't imagine crapping 6 times a day and…

There's an entire chapter in the book 4-hour Body by Tim Ferriss explaining this phenomenon. I won't explain it because I get sh*tbagged whenever I mention it but if you want the book, PM me your email addy and i'll send it to you.

"bro-science" a new term seen only on MFP most often applied to any advice that differs from a poster's opinion if the differing opinion comes from someone other than a Doctor. Please note, many Doctors are "Bros" and/or "Scientists" I'm done with this site besides logging my own intake. Like my Dad said, "We all got one.…

why? it's no secret that your body burns more when awake and vertical than when sleeping. Who NEEDS more than 6-7 hours of sleep? What's the harm in increasing your BMR by 100-300 calories simply by waking earlier and starting your day? Further, why say no offense after using a word like "Stupid" All my advice is what I do…

well, the thing is that the OP was asking for help and advice. I am offering what I know and what is working for me. I am not a doctor although I am a microbiologist with good understanding in chemistry. Obviously there are more than one way to increase the amount of calories you burn in a day. One of my favorites is…

awesome! I'd love to have you for a gym pal!

here's my beefs which have all been addressed to no avail! 1. Leaves her closet door in the bedroom open every day at least twice. 2. snores 3. refuses to make an honest attempt at eating better and hitting her target heart rate....ever! I bet she hasn't been in her cardio zone since she was 15...now 43! 4. always…

Hi Steph! I am glad you posted as I have offered some of what I have learned and was immediately chastised and belittled and called a quack! I am just starting with slow carb but it seems I have been eating like this a long time already for the most part. The best advice I have taken was to drink COLD water 1st thing in…

For the record, I have never tried to sell anything! I do however have some great books, DVDs etc that I am willing to share for free in the hopes it will make us all slimmer and happier people! will approve anyone who is open enough to take their diary off private!

He may be right if you look at the exercise from a toning/strength view.....however, if you use a HRM and maintain your workout within your target heart rate range from a cardio aspect the the mill if equally effective.

Notty to HOTTIE!!! great job!

It took you a year to lose 29 lbs! I am not saying it's impossible to lose weight after eating a daily banana but results will be impeded. Ok, I see gang up on the new guy....nice!

Why the hate? It IS working for me! I eat tons and drink beer and have gone from 299 to 286 in a month without EVER being hungry! I was given the book 4 hour Body by my trainer at 24hr fitness and it works~! I agree with most advice given in addition to my own. Is this the type of community I can expect on MFP? if so I'll…

sorry to hear you think that, this information is directly from the best selling book by Tim Ferriss '4 hour Body" here's what happened to his bloodwork after one week of OJ and a banana for breakfast: Before (10/16, no fructose) and after (10/23, orange juice and banana): Cholesterol: 203 → 243 (out of “healthy” range)…

BEWARE anything that says sugar-free! as the chemical reaction insulin surge it causes in your body is worse than the actual natual sugars would be!!!!

stop stop stop stop the fruits and breads, eat nothing white (except cauliflower is ok)! Bananas are the worst thing you can eat if you are trying to lose weight. Fructose is sugar and bananas carry it heavy! eat more veggies and sub fat free wheat tortillas when you NEED bread. otherwise put your sandwich on a plate…

you MUST read "4 Hour Body" by TIm Ferriss! The how and why of your issue is fully explained. In short, I'd say you could benefit from logging everything you eat for a week, taking pictures before it goes in your mouth. sleep less than 7 hours per day, drink 16oz of water immediately upon waking and eat 2 eggs within 30…

Chicken fajita wraps!! 3 Chicken breasts seasoned with cilantro, saffron, cumin - marinated in fresh squeezed lime juice for 1-2 days 2 red peppers 1 large onion 1 tblsp minced garlic whole wheat flour tortillas pinto beans soaked, boiled and seasoned with balsamic vinegar, garlic, sea salt (prepared weekly for many meals)…

The best way would be to hit the point where you feel like your heart rate has peaked and take your carodid pulse on your neck under your jaw with two fingers for 15 seconds using an analog watch or stopwatch, multiply your count by 4 to get your HBM (heart beats per minute)...that's your HRM. Oldskewl as the kids say!
