Don't Cave. Don't Cave. Don't Cave. I quit 18 months ago after 23 years at a pack a day. Alcohol does not make you want to smoke. The effect of alcohol on your brain does. Promise yourself you wont and you wont. you can do this - its as simple as not giving in.... over and over and over again. As for gaining after quitting…

def stop drinking - that's your first and smartest move. You said stomach ulcers - those could do it. Also, Crohn's Disease could cause your symptoms. My wife was diagnosed at 21 or 22 and hasn't had a drink since - were in our 40s now... Also IBS (Irritable Bowel) may be the cause...but Im not a Dr. You also said you were…

^^ THIS. Its impossible to "blow it" after 4 days...or 40 days...or 400 days!! We ALL have bad days, hungry days, days where life gets in the way, ETC ETC ETC... This is a LIFEstyle. As in the rest of your LIFE. 2 steps forward, 1 step back (in your case it was 3 steps forward, then 1 back) - its STILL moving FORWARD...you…

Yup - this one for me too!!! YAAAAAY PEANUT BUTTER!!!

current at home go to is fat free half n half and equal. Wawa has a fat free French vanilla creamer that needs no sugar and is YUMMO. Read label on all the flavored creamers out there - Im bettin there will be a few that you will love - and as previously stated they don't need sugar! So pick your fav or lowest cals or…
-
Go for half! Eat at 1500 - 1700 cals a day for a couple weeks, and see where it takes you. Monitor your loss, and then adjust your deficit to suit. Just remember to pay attention to things like fatigue and sickness creeping in - push as agressively as you can without taking yourself out of the game! YOU CAN DO IT! Just…

Simple Answer. YAY MILK!!!

Im just over 700, but I have three on my FL over 1000, a few in the 800s too!! And one dear friend who made 3 years (1095), deactivated, and then came back!! n oh yah... KEEEEEEEEP GOIN PEEPS!! Woohoo!

Yah, POLAR all the way - mine is an FT7 - had it about 14 months, use it EVERY DAY. Tough.Durable.Accurate. nuff said!

ok so how you got there doesn't really matter - not REALLY. point is you're up in weight , feeling fat and maybe down on yourself because of it. LOOK AT YOUR TICKER. You didn't lose 115lbs by mistake. Don't worry about how you gained - its in the past. NOW is your time. You did it once, friend. YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN. Worst…

Well, ****. I actually dug crossfit for the three months or so I did it - it was intense. It helped me improve my fitness level. It was fun. It POUNDED THE HELL out of my shoulders, back, and knees. So, no thanks for me. So, not negative on CF here, and yes, this study seems inherently .... pointless. What sucks is when I…
-
Ok, THIS one for me. Im a dad, not a mom, but we both work, and as it so happens, Im the more domestic of the two of us. Were both 41, and our son is 9, our daughter 6 - pretty close to where you might be, just further down the road a bit right? The quote above is 100% accurate, so no worries there, and IMO, having more…
-
Yup. This - protein is where its at. Dont be afraid!
-
It IS both. NO DOUBT. Physiologically harder because our bodies are already at a healthy weight already - the less total fat you have, the harder it is to lose the same ten lbs. in fact it gets Exponentially harder.. - its easier to get rid of 10lbs out of 100lbs of total body fat (10%) than 10lbs out of, say 25 lbs of…

41 - been at this almost two years - down about 90 - in great shape (the best of my life)! Quit smokin, work out every day... Although the body doesnt come close to performing the way it used to, and the bumps and aches and bruises and cramps are a lil more severe, AND recovery takes LONGER, I gotta say I WOULDNT CHANGE A…

I use the polar FT7. I use it every single day. Technical and correct answer is the cals your HRM gives you is total cals (including your BMR), so to learn your actual burn, you need to subtract your BMR (Divide your BMR by 24 to get rough BMR/hr). BUT, like the Wolfman, just take a % of your HRM cals - its easier, and…

[/quote] Burning calories is not determined by the time of day (or night) that it is done, it is determined by the amount of effort put in. There is no better time to exercise, but the best time to exercise is the one that you enjoy the most. [/quote] Dont know where the quote box whent, but ^^THIS VERY WELL PUT. In slang,…

Buy Meat (you gotta look, but it can be cheap!) By meat I mean chicken, fish, or beef. Then buy frozen steamable veggies. If you have or can get a George Foreman and a microwave and some tupperware, you can cook for days at a time in 10 minutes. While Im a lil further along in life than you, I do this for myself every…
-
^ This is a pretty solid answer, but I'd add if you dont have a HRM, definitely cut MFPs number 20 - 25% (in general). If you use a machines #, Id cut it in half (the people who make these machines want you to like them! SO, big burns = happy exercisers = lots of positive talk abt their machines)... Bottom line is always…

Learned to drive a 3 speed manual potato truck @ 14 (yep, country boy). Im 41 now - it is the ONLY way to drive....ever see a NASCAR car or a Formula 1 or ANY race car that was automatic? Jus sayin... DRIVE STICK!!

PHEW!!! Long winded, but dead on!! Go Hard Hard Hard for 30! I've been at this for a couple yeatrs now, and the elliptical has been a go to for me the whole time. GO HARD!! you wont regret it!

Two quick things in response: 1) I dont hog machines - Im four sets and out, and actually, Im more likely in a spin class than anywhere else... 2) If Im in the middle of my set work, Im not available to spot anyone for anything - also, no spotters required for me - If I want to lift heavy I find a partner before I…

Get an Ipod - find what music makes you get AMPED. TURN IT UP!! Here's a scenario: So Metallica's Master of Puppets is loud enough in my ears for the guy next to me to sing along (I know thats a lil rude too, but we all have our hangups, right?) Young punk in tank top (to show off his skinny lil arms) with hat sideways…
