Thanks for the input everyone. I figured it's incredibly individual but though I'd get a bell curve of answers that I could glean info from. Cheers. Sorry, it was my play on words. I just mean that I'm closer to 46 than 45; Could be an "old" 20 year old. )) It's indeed perspective and I feel pretty damn good at 45. ))

Agreed. Though, it does catch my attention when see a seemingly unfit personal trainer teaching someone how to be fit;. So many variables and so many priorities/goals. It's just skewed view that I have a tendency of believing more of someone who's made successes in their desired goals; they've done something right...unless…

I s'pose too, it depends on ones goals? To "cover more ground", build and retain lean mass, cardiovascular health, loose fat, etcetera...so many different goals.

I kinda figured it wasn't black or white in that the energy source being used wouldn't suddenly begin or end depending on which zone you were in...suddenly burning fat OR muscle. Rather, as you suggested, it's "percentage changes"... nuanced. Kimmerle, the guy in the video(s) I linked to, looks as if he's had some major…

I really appreciate all the input from ya'll. )) I started down this path of thinking about zones and from which zone the body primarily gets it energy from after watching the Utah native David Kimmerle. Following are two of his videos that set me down this path. In the first video linked, is he full of *kitten* then?…

Agreed...diet is key and I'm on it like Blue Bonnet. )) Thanks for your insight dewd2 If I'm sipping Vitargo (a rapidly digestive carb) while working out in an elevated zone, say zones 4 and low end of 5, will the body use that for energy instead of using muscle for it's energy?

Mostly the former...using the zones to train. That said, I'm 200 and intend on loosing 10 lbs of the Crisco (fat) while keeping the muscle I have. After the fat loss, I want to remain relatively lean and build muscle. I'd like to know what you mean by "if you want to use them to enhance weight loss (or fat loss), you need…

Curious too. I have MFP set to "not very active" so my Garmin Fenix can measure calorie expenditure for my everyday activities then sync with MFP. It's now noon and my "active" calories on the Garmin still dont show on MFP and I just synced. When I exercise and track it via Garmin, only THEN does MFP adjust calories. I'm…

hahaha.you/ve done lost it !!

Welcome and good luck! Its going to take a lotta steady work. Goals?

Shakes are good...throw some peanut butter in the mix and you'll be there quick! I also have a bag of mixed nuts and one handful is nearly 200 cal. Couple handfuls and viola.

agreed.

Only if you have it with JD

hehe

When i was younger and in wrestling, my ding dong was hanging out of my leotard. Pretty embarrassing :/ I no longer wrestle and therefore don't wear leotards either. :D

I almost smelled that when i read it. :/ ::gagging::

I'm not getting the sleep recorded either? :/ EDIT: yep, it required a sync to get the sleep numbers.

Dude, you look great. Congrats on the results of your hard work.... wow

damn dude... great transformation!

wowsa... thats a lot of hard work and dedication. Congrats! for sticking to it. You look great! ;)

Gwendalyne! Congratulations! Awesome transformation....you look amazing. ;)

so many choices...so many good breads. ;) I stick to Ezekiel or Sprouted (by Alvarado St. Bakery) Most important, i learned after listening to Jillian's latest podcast, is that it needs to be Whole Grain and not just Multi-Grain. Multi-Grain doesn't mean its always Whole Grain...follow? hehe

Total peanut butter junkie. hehe. crunchy, creamy...both at once. In a personal push to eat organic, i now only buy (unless its an emergency and i havent planned ahead..haha) MaraNatha Organic No Stir. Yum

Cool to see so many countries and people around the world here. Cheers from the USA! ;)
