Remember the 5 foods not to NEVER eat! If you eat 5 ripe bananas before your spot reduction, you'll end up with a uterus that's yellow and has brown spots and you'll need to upgrade to the monster cleanse!

Start by figuring out if you really want to get in shape and eat healthy foods. It's OK if the answer is "not really". If you've decided that you really do want to change, then give yourself a break, forget about the past and what you haven't been able to do, but instead bring your A-game and start! Not tomorrow but right…

$100? A FitBit, of course! It's a pedometer on steroids and integrates with MFP! It's silly expensive which makes it a treat, and it's a gift that WILL motivate you to get off your butt and move! And...oh yeah -- it's FUN!

W3 L3 D3 (33, 42, 30, 30, 45, 20) = 200! Wait...I'm not supposed to be doing crunches on my birthday!

Great thread -- really appreciate all your responses to everyone's questions! I'm a 5'8" guy, 49 years old. Last June, I was 197 lb, 27% body fat & had a very sedentary lifestyle and lots of health problems (mostly sick a lot) and decided I needed a change. I started tracking all my food, reducing my calories and started…

Short answer: Runkeeper. Long answer -- here are the fitness apps I've got on my iPhone: - MFP Calorie Counter, which goes without saying; - FitBit, too be honest kinda lame since it's not real-time data and only relects the last time you synced your FitBit with your computer (they really need a Bluetooth Smart Ready…

It sounds like you already know the problem is two-fold: your body is craving food and at that time of day your blood sugar is way out of whack and you strongly craving those treats. Secondly, you're obviously a smart person and your brain supplies compelling excuses to justify having the cravings:…

Ugh...Week 3, Day 2, Level 3 - 154 Sit-ups completed! Also did Wk. 3, Day 2, Level 3 - 100 Push-ups as part if that challenge! I really DO need to move that onto alternating days! :-)

Amen! I'll give witness to that! I'm not religious except when it comes to the Canon/Nikon debate, then I'm a devout Canon guy! Maybe you could tell us about lighting techniques to make folks look skinny! :-)

Wow, that's a LOT harder than I thought! AM: Week 3 Day 1 Level 3, Total Reps 69 (First 3 sets & too tired to continue.) PM: Week 3 Day 1 Level 3, Total Reps 120 (Restarted from the beginning, as I didn't know if it would be "cheating" to continue from where I left off this morning.) Total Situps for the day: 189 --…

Hi fellow week-3'ers! I did 61 crunches on my initial test so it looks like I'll be hanging out here! Not sure exactly *how* the heck I'm gonna get to 200! I plan on starting tomorrow for a Mon/Wed/Fri cycle. Well, here's to our soon to be burning' abs! - Nick

Sorry I don't know what my dress size is cuz I'm a guy :-) I'm 5'8" and went from: 197 lbs, L shirts, and 35x30 pants to 154 lbs, M shirts, and 31x32 pants. Cool that I lost 4 inches off my waist and kinda weird that I need pants 2 inches longer! I swear my diet didn't cause me to grow taller...must just be where the…

Awesome -- my first challenge! I think I will start on Monday as well to get that Mon/Wed/Fri cycle. Oh jeez -- I'll do the assessment today as I'm off to the gym.

If you've got an iPhone 4S, I highly recommend Wahoo's "Blue HR". It's a chest strap that sends to your iPhone and integrates nicely with other iPhone apps such as RunKeeper! The previous model used a little dongle that you had to plug into the iPhone's dock connector but this new model is Bluetooth Smart Ready (i.e., low…

Holy cow...you look great! What a dramatic change you've made in your life -- way to go!

Don't worry, MFP can help you reduce the size of your butt.
-
MFP doesn't integrate directly to pull your HRM data in, but we can keep our fingers crossed for the future! Process today would be to input exercise time & calories manually. Having said that, Wahoo makes awesome HRM's and any brand can give you data you need while working out to allow you to gauge your burn! Highly…

If you run or workout with an iPhone or iPod, check out the "Wahoo Run/Gym Pack for iPhone". It has a small device that plugs into the bottom of your iPhone and communicates with the Wahoo Fitness soft heart rate belt (included). You can then use Wahoo's app or countless others, such as RunKeeper, to monitor your heart…
