  • stardancer, I'm in Pennsylvania.
  • Jetbomb, I have had great leg success with kettlebell exercises. Alot of the exercises are primarily leg excercises but they can also be good cardio excercises as most of them use other muscles besides legs. Only other thing I would suggest is some calf work. One version has you holding dumbells in a standing position…
  • Triplets! Yikes! I have one 2 year old that keeps me busy for most of my off time. I can not even imagine. Nevertheless, here is a bit of advice from my own personal experience... Some people will recommend that dieting is day-to-day. In other words some times you'll have good days and sometimes not. They'll say that the…
  • Groovy! Must try.
  • Imagine my surprise when I saw this topic in the "most recent topics" on my homepage. At first I was flattered... and then disappointed when I realized it wasn't about me. Kudos to the other "Brett" for getting all this attention.
  • Thanks everyone for the responses. Very good information and encouragement. Just to clarify, as one person said, and I agree, that 2 miles is not a sprint. Especially if you are talking in the context of the track and field world. But in the context of level of endurance, and maybe "sprinter" is not the correct word,…
  • I am not sure what your exact specifics are but if you follow this myfitnesspal's guidelines you should be able to eat more than 1200 if you are exercising. First thing I would suggest to anyone using this site is when you are deciding what your lifestyle catagory is do not factor in whatever current workouts you are…
  • Others have said it but I'm still going to add my $0.02. Thats the beauty of this plan! You get to eat your exercise calories. It's like a reward for working hard. If you dont work hard you dont get that extra treat at the end of the day :-) I just hit 40 lbs lost and I always eat my exercise calories back. WHY??? BECAUSE…
  • Someone mentioned the adjustable dumbells. Those work pretty good and take up just a small footprint. I think perhaps your answer might be a combination of things. Someone was right in that there is no substitution for legit free weight equipment for certain things ie a squat rack. HUGE footprint and the safety guards are…
  • I hesitated to respond because I am certain that my sentiment is no different than anyone else on this post but I am going to anyway as I think you truly deserve the most recognition that you get. You are an inspiration to many people including myself. You should post as many pictures as you like and more. For many people…
  • Not sure if I understand your question exactly but here are somethings that I've noticed. When I update my weight in my diary I've noticed that it does not automatically adjust my allowable calories shown on my home page. I have to actually go to the "MY HOME" tab. Click on the "Settings" link then click on "Update…

  • Agreed with all above with my own comments . A person's best bet IMHO is to get a heart rate monitor. They are pretty accurate in my experience. It will be close enough for most people anyway. In my experience, as someone else mentioned, I see about a 30 to 50 calorie difference between what MFP says and what my HRM reads.…
  • 2 favorites... (btw - my apologies for the language below) "You surprised to see us Clark? "Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now. " and of course from the same movie, the famous rant... "Hey!

Beck, Ph.D. http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/tracy/whatis.html If you dont care to cut and paste the link (and I understand why you might not) just google "phenylketonurics". You'll find a few links that'll tell you all about it.…
  • As has been said this is not a quick fix. Oh the dreaded scale. A simple electrical device that can change the emotional state of the far superior human brain. DO NOT LET THAT THING MANIPULATE YOUR EMOTIONS!!! The scale is but a simple tool for one measurement that is only an indicator of your overall health. Having said…

  • We shop at Costco all the time. All of the below mentioned suggestions are great. My personal experience, and I think someone mentioned this below, is that some of the fresh veggies are not always the freshest and seem to go bad faster than grocery store veggies. A good portion of the frozen meats they sell (fish in…
