Banks, Thanks, I never broke it down so scientifically before. Sounds like I am litterally getting swoll. LOL. Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I will start bi-weekly measurements to track goals. It does get frustrating when these programs say do this and do that, and eat this and take in this many calories and…

Thank you ladies. Your wisdom is noted and appreciated.

I'm not big on cardio in the form of treadmills and eliptical machines, but I've seen people burn upwards of 400 calories in 20-25 minutes. I'm pretty sure they are burning some fat. Calories…

It doesn't matter if your best is 5 pushups or 55. If you push yourself that 5 or 55 pushups will become 10 or 100. My wife started running this…
