Free weights would probably be a good idea. He will need some training and supervision but it really will help.

Oh, I almost completely forgot about my road bike, that thing is awesome!!! What kind do you have? I have a Lexa Trek but one day I hope to get a Cervelo tribike....they make some sweet looking rides.
-
LOL. I don't know, it sure makes things harder sometimes...
-
Now I want a mini-trampoline! LOL. Sounds like sooo much fun!
-
Nice! I suspect that HRM's will be high on the list for alot of people, especially on this site where we track exercise cals.

For me, it is before and after a morning workout. I find if I do not eat before then I bonk. Afterwards, a recovery snack is required because I have already used up the fuel from breakfast and then some. Typically, a morning workout for me is 1-2 hours though. I now have to move my workouts to the evening though which is…

some of these were soo funny to read. Unfortunately, I don't really have something funny to share. One date that sticks out as being particularly sad and uncomfortable is the night my husband and I went out....on the day we were supposed to get married. We had postponed our wedding and rather than be home in tears on that…

I like both but I do not buy the fat free versions of either kind. Greek yogurt has twice as much protein but I only eat half as much!

As many have mentioned, a taper week might be helpful. I would hope that your trainer has been working in a taper week every 5-6 weeks to improve your performance and allow for recovery. I am also training for triathlons and decided to put the scale away until the end of the season--hopefully I will see a shift downwards…

For sure but I am happy when I look back at my diary and see a whole bunch of fibre and nutrients from fruits and veggies. I even count diet pop because it contains sodium (which I am terrible for going over on). Log everything that goes into your mouth. You will still find that fruits and veggies are better than most…

Congrats on your loss! Since losing weight can be a long process, I think it is important to reward yourself along the way. Maybe you don't need an entirely new wardrobe (sometimes a good belt can do the trick or a sewing machine) but a couple of nice pieces to show the progress you are making is worth the investment and…

Oh, and just to start the month off right, yesterday was 27.31 miles!
-
I'm up for it, aiming for more than 300 miles. Do you check your tire pressure before every ride? I have been riding quite a bit and have yet to have a flat because we check my tire pressure all the time. I would also see if you can have it serviced because constant flats could be a sign of another problem such as rubbing,…

Maybe yes, maybe no. Thirst often mimics hunger. It is however a good idea to plan to have a post workout snack especially if you feel famished after a session at the gym. That and a large glass of water!!
-
I stopped using protein powder a while back because it just bothers my stomach too much. It's like this horrible protein/dairy bomb hits my system and it just cannot take it. I suggest upping your protein with something else if you find it is bothering you. I don't regret cutting it out.
-
K, I checked out your profile and I noticed that it says you have 36 lbs to go, is this a mistake? Did I misread it? If not, I think you may have some unreasonable expectations and may need to consider working them through with a counselor.
-
I lost 34 in that time frame. Bear in mind that the first two weeks I lost a good deal of water weight, over 7 pounds in fact (there is no way I burned that many extra calories). Went from 181 to 147 on a 5'8" medium build frame.

Bump.:smile:
-
Strawberry spinach salad (eating that right now) Greek yogurt (seriously only tried this stuff because people talk about it all the time on mfp) Oatmeal (never liked it as a kid) Crispy minis
-
Sounds like fun. I am in.
-
Bump, maybe protein powder could be useful again.
-
You can lose weight and eat nothing but cheesecake if you control your portions :) . Alcohol does tend to lower inhibitions though so it may make resisting those fries a little harder.
-
Congrats. It is sooo cool to me that people also use this site to gain weight to get to a healthy weight. Glad you are on the mend :)
-
Why not save for a couple of months and get a good one? I used the estimates on MFP for months and just ate 50-75% of my exercise cals because they are usually a little high.
-
Having a similar problem getting enough protein....bumping for later.

For biking, the last couple of times at the gym I have put the simulator on advanced and then worked at cadence riding and with 4-5 hill accelerations. One ride there was literally a 5 mile climb. Fun times. Also, I find that timed rides can be a chance to feel the burn as you attempt to beat your latest time. For running,…

Change your stats to lose half a pound a week. Incorporate some exercise (yes, there are exercises that you can do with a bum knee like pull buoy swimming, arm workouts and physical therapy) and eat. I lost weight netting 1700 cals a day...it is possible.
-
Why so much in one day? It is very likely simple water and waste retention. Drink plenty of fluids and let nature take its course. You will be fine.
-
You did not deserve that treatment. Often, people close to us cannot see the change because it is gradual. Seriously, the tips above are golden. -Get an HRM and burn, burn, burn! -Eat -Get plenty of rest (lack of sleep can stall your progress) -Weigh and measure -Track everything that goes into your mouth Pretty much what…

Mmmmm......fruit. This post inspired me to have a cup of sliced strawberries with a tbsp of ED smith no sugar added syrup. Seriously, it did. I love me some fruit and if I choose it over ice cream---it's a win for me.
