Yeah, give it time to work. There are several factors that could be causing you not to lose weight. Right now you HAVE LOST 7 pounds. That is better than not losing or even gaining. Take that victory. Now BUILD on it! Stick with this lifestyle change. Adjust your eating and exercise. Everybody works a little different.…

My wife gave me a heart rate monitor last year. It recorded a resting heart rate of 56 and I weighed around 260 at the time, maybe more. Not sure. Recently my resting heart rate has come down to 41. Right now the bad part is doing C25K I was hitting 99%(176) for max heart rate. 220-43 years old = 177 Max heart rate. It is…

Sometimes I add strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or blueberries. I mix in some splenda since it tastes a bit too sour for my liking. To me it tastes WONDERFUL this way. A sweet creamy yogurt.

Also your previous unhealthy lifestyle can play a part. That has happened to me many years ago. Lots of bad food, garbage snacks and every drink was sugary something. Somehow I did not end up in a diabetic coma. when I was diagnosed with type 2 my blood sugar was the high 700's. I was put on a diet, meds and gave up sugary…

Grab a burger and throw away the bun. Cheese and condiments are optional. Get rid of the bun at many of the burger places then see what the calories and sodium are. I think it was Burger King where the website has a burger builder application. It will show you the nutrition info without buns, condiments or whatever you…

I don't share my bra size either. But moobs only come in a few, easily discernible sizes. Small Medium OMG, THEY ARE FLAPPING IN THE WIND! With dietary changes and exercise I now have smaller moobs.:bigsmile:

From Oklahoma also. Hicks, rednecks, bible thumpers, teepees, dirt roads, pickup trucks and all that other stuff. I've heard lots of it. When I was in Germany for a long vacation many years ago some people were not sure where Oklahoma was. They did know the tv show Dallas and J.R. Ewing. Sometimes I would tell them I live…

We have used proper names and slang. I can't keep up with all the slang that kids and young adults use but I feel they need to know the slang terms. Many of the kids friends and acquaintances use slang for whatever reason. I think my kids should understand what is being said. We have also had to cover cuss words,…

Sportstracker has one. Endomondo has two models. A Polar wearlink and a Zephyr HxM. I have no experience with these models of HRM's. I do run the apps on my Droid for outdoor exercises. The HRM's are supposed to link with the apps running on a Droid and your Droid's GPS. It will then give you a map of your activity, time,…

Continue as normal. Heck, I've already done 30 minutes on the exercise bike for today. I will probably keep an eye out for extra temptations and sodium. My sodium was already high for the week. Extra temptations will need to be avoided or controlled. It was a nice free day but I don't need to turn it into several days or…

Evidently I have this gift also. Show my unhappy face and a bit of body language. POOF! Most people are gone.

I know how you feel. I did w4d1 yesterday. It's just WOW! A great accomplishment. I focused on breathing, going slow and finishing each run. In the end I had energy to spare even after I walked home. I might push a little harder for w4d2. My biggest problem came from my MP3 player screwing up in the middle of the first 5…

Hmmm, so many this week. A co-worker got transferred back to my area again. "Wow!, have you lost weight?" Another co-worker asking how I lost weight since they have decided to lose weight. Completing week 3 of the C25K program. My resting heart rate has gone down to 41. Got rid of a big stack of clothing that is way to…

The whole family kinda got burned out on GC and a few other buffets way before any diet/fitness/lifestyle changes. And yeah, I felt like I needed to eat my money's worth. Heck my Dad was trying to take us to a good buffet a few days ago. We turned him down.:noway:

I haven't got peanut butter yet. I have chocolate, cookies & cream, vanilla and strawberry. Vanilla and strawberry are my favorites with milk. I sometimes mix in oatmeal and peanut butter with the cookies or chocolate. It can be found at Wal-Mart.

Forgot to mention that I walk to a local park to do C25K. That gives me a 20 minute warm up and a 20 minute cool down. Makes for a good calorie burn and a little extra cardio conditioning.

I should be doing week 3 day 3 tomorrow. Jog SLOW. It's not a race....yet. The program conditions your body and running habits. Later you can work on speed. Some people complete C25K and then restart with speed as the focus.

Mine is public. I will sometimes lump several meals together especially when prepping for the next day.

Body Fortress here too. I've got chocolate, cookies & cream, vanilla and strawberry. Vanilla and strawberry are my favorites with milk.

At my weight I didn't think I should or could run. I did week 3 day 2 yesterday(April 1st) I keep the jogging slow, verrrrry slow. My average jogging speed was 5 to 5.5mph according to gps recordings. The gps readings have been going above 6mph now. I really didn't think I had increased speed.

I like the Thermos Intak. It can hold 24 ounces. My wife picked it up and I found it in our pantry. I bought 2 more today at Target. One neat feature is a little dial ring that will help you keep track of how many bottles you have drank. http://www.thermos.com/products/intak-purple-24-oz-hydration-bottle.aspx…

Well, my wife texted me the other day. Big deal huh?:indifferent: I was in an environment where I could not hear the phone.:huh: Evidently I have lost enough weight that I could feel it vibrating across my @$$ since it was in my back pocket.:love: I texted the wife back about what happened. She almost spit her drink…

Bump also puts it in your recent forum posts on your profile. So many people are "bumping" so they can refer back to the article by using that recent forum posts list instead of bookmarking.

I tried starting a few weeks ago. W1D1 went great until a few hours afterwards. I had hip pain for two or three days. Enough pain that I knew running would not be good till I solved it. A little research said I probably need to strengthen my core. I started doing exercises to strengthen my core muscles(abdominals and…

Um...here goes. To me stretch marks along with blemishes, freckles, scars, rolls, droops and whatever else are..............erotic in a way. It shows the person is real and that possibly the emotions and interactions are more believable. Don't get me wrong, I like perfect bodies. They are very nice to look at. But there is…

I have a cheaper watch version that my wife got me. You have to put a finger on the face for it to show heart rate. Typically halfway through more sweat inducing exercises it will quit responding. Later it works fine. Lately I had been thinking about getting a Polar or one a bluetooth one that works with my Droid phone and…
