Thereby ending up with the exact same result. :smile:

I just took the chicken thighs and pork ribs up off the smoker and the Mrs is whipping up some green salad and green beans. Gonna wash it down with some Pyramid Apricot Ale. Good eats.

Congrats! Great work.

Congrats. I am also 57 and resist the urge to run every time it presents itself. :happy: :happy: I am a big fan of nature hikes. I spend several hours each weekend out on the trail.

Or more. :smile:

I just viewed your pics. If those are recent, then calling you stocky is just nuts.

Are you using an HRM with a chest strap or just an HRM watch? If the latter you need to manually check your HR every now and then so it updates to your current heart rate. If you just do it once after you start your exercise it will calculate at that HR the entire time and thus could be off with the total it gives.

Those are some excellent guidelines, hermano. Congrats on the fat loss.

Pretty much, yeah. :happy:

The wine is a better choice if your goal is weight loss. Beer is wonderful stuff, but the good stuff is carb-heavy and the low carb beer sucks.

Yup

Yup

Hi and welcome. I have been type 2 for several years now. What works best for me is a combo of diet and exercise. I lift weights several mornings each week, walk at least a couple miles every weekday and do early morning trail hikes on the weekend. I have found that both fat and protein are my friends. Dairy products like…

Listen to your doc. If she says eat really low carbs, then eat really low carbs.

Hope you guess my name...

Trying to correct him does no good if I read what you are saying correctly. No use beating your head against a brick wall.

I don't believe I have ever thought of preparing a banana. Aside from peeling it and sticking it in my mouth. :smile: Which I haven't done in years as I am an Insulin dependent type 2 diabetic and bananas are a wee bit too sugary for me.

I don't see a problem then.

Not unless you are pounding one down every half hour for three hours. Just use something either low or no cal for a mixer.

Yeah. You could put an eye out with one of those things. :glasses:

At my age, not a big fan of running. Too tough on the joints. I do several hours of wilderness trail hiking on the weekend instead to get my cardio in.

Good for you. Rock On!

You don't really sound so sure about that. :glasses:

Here is a link to the fitbit manual online. http://www.fitbit.com/manual#section=start Looks like it walks you through all the setup sets.

Thanks for the url. I had forgotten about these guys. Looks like they will be testing outside a crossfit location about ten miles from my house next month. Emailed them to get the details.

Planet Fitness is pretty much on my commute to work in the morning. Adds maybe five minutes to what I would be driving anyway, so very convenient.

Yeah, that must have been a typo. Coconut butter is like 90% fat

My condolences. :glasses:

Good for you!
