Seems like a lot of people just aren't fans of cardio...after all it is hard work. :) Some people are not very concerned with function so long as they look a certain way....be my guest. I for one am a sucker for the anti aging, anti disease, overall benefits of the cardio exercise. Endurance athletes outlive body builders.…

You exercise three hours a day and eat 800 calories a day? I noticed your food diary is no longer viewable. You have good reason to hide it. Go ahead and believe that the majority of people on this board are dumb and they're just being mean to you and picking on you. BUT...whatever you do please don't try to lead others…

I looked at your food diary. I don't think you have any idea how bad what you are doing to yourself really is. :/ Not only are you not getting the things your body needs, but at least some of your weight loss is going to be the result of your body cannibalizing your muscles. You've got some good intentions, but Steak n…

Do me a favor and Google "benefits of fish oil"...among the many benefits is aiding in joint movement. It's the one supplement I think everyone should take regardless of fitness goals. Almost too good to be true.

I wonder if you might get better results if you just change your profile from sedentary to active? I'm an IT guy and I spend a lot of time on butt...taking breaks every 45 min to stretch, etc and I do at least a hour of hard cardio each day and my results have been amazing. I overestimate the calories I eat and…

Fantabulous.. :) It's nice when you can see the results of your hardwork and sacrifice. Keep up the good work and let the momentum carry you.

The Elliptical burns more calories and is less wear on your joints. If your goal is cardiovascular health and calorie burn, then the elliptical is the way to go. :) If you want to improve running....go run.

Also, I sure wish I was in a clandestine group, with cool handshakes and secret knocks, etc. :)

I don't think that kind of weight loss is possible...and if it is you're going to be doing some damage to your body. :/ This is something that takes TIME....everyone is looking for a shortcut and an instant fix, but there isn't one. This is the reason so many diet fads get popular is because some marketing guy convinces…

This...a thousand times this. If you want to buy cheap stuff....go ahead. Optimum Nutrition is maybe the best protein powder available.

You know...it occurred to me that you might want to try to rent a wheelchair and "jog" in that. I know that sounds weird, but that seems like something you can do without taxing your lower body at all. Find yourself a slight incline and practice going up it in the chair maybe. Just a thought, but it will definitely get…

Optimum Nutrition is likely the best Whey protein on the market quality wise, with a possible one or two better. The natural is their best and the gold standard slightly less so, but with a lot more flavors to choose from. I am a BIG guy and I also find it tough to get enough protein in the food I eat without blasting…

I'm in Afghanistan and occasionally "the purple box" will show up as a result of someone's care package. Holy cow I love those things...I had 4 the other day.....it cost me some time on the elliptical, but I would do it again...and again, probably. :)

I think that 35/35/30 is about perfect. I have to get between 230-330 a day because of my size. Getting an equal number of calories from protein and carbs is the best bet. Unfortunately lots of people buy into trends or read a 2 paragraph yahoo news article and suddenly they think carbs are the devil, without realizing the…

Doing cardio in the morning empty stomach has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it boosts your fat loss 2X, since your blood sugar is low, you body immediately sends signal to your brain to start burning fat. Consume a post work out protein shake, The only disadvantage is for someone who wants to lift…

My understanding is that doing cardio on an empty stomach when you first get up means you have low blood sugar and your body will move to using stored energy (fat) faster and you'll end up burning twice as much. One day a week, as my schedule stands now, I do cardio a couple hours after working out and it's very very very…

Correct. It's just that in a little broader perspective this seems a rather odd dietary choice.

I'm a big guy as well and I totally understand where you guys are coming from. I hate shopping for clothes, though now it seems easier with a lot of retailers offering more variety…

I feel like sometimes I get kind of OCD about it. I get hung up on sustaining a certain number on heart rates, etc.

^^This. Cheat meal...yes. Cheat day....no.

On days I do just cardio I don't eat because then I start with low blood sugar and the body immediately starts to burn from reserves...you burn more fat. On days I do strength training I eat an hour before. It makes a big difference in my energy level and overall intensity.

You've made a lot more progress that most. I'm not going to throw a rock at you, but I'm not going to let you off the hook either. Maybe you should plan a cheat meal 2-4 times a month. This might help. As for the 3lbs...that's just phooey. I flux as much as 8lbs depending on when I weigh myself throughout the day. You…

This is good info. :)

Please tell me she brought a suit against the school. :/ That is completely out of line. I don't understand how you can fire an adult for engaging in a legal activity. WTF?

Do some more reading about alcohol calories vs other types of calories. It's not the same thing and something to be aware of.
