You are doing a lot, all of a sudden, considering you said you werent exercising at all before. Its your body rebelling against the positive changes! Give it time and it will adjust!! Jus make sure you are eating and drinking enough. Give it a couple weeks...If it stays the same or gets worse, see your Dr. and get…

5-6L/day

Sure it works... It works at taking your hard earned money out of your pocket. There is no magic pill. They have you on a deficit and it works. but its not sustainable. Starting out eating right and sticking with it IS sustainable and gives you the tools for healthy living. and costs you nothing for Placebo pills, and…

That Jacobs Ladder looks like a killer! First time I have seen it. Would never see it in my crappy gym. I stick to Elliptical. Has done wonders for my Cardio and capacity! Nice bonus of having a few more calories. But dont get stuck on burning calories for weightloss, and which machine is better. Its what you put in your…

Salt free chicken, beef or veggie broth is my go to steaming trick. Then I sautee, in a tsp of olive oil (summer months I grill everything on the bbq, so no EVOO) with garlic and onion powder and pepper. Works best on fresh produce. I find it hard to lose the "frozen" taste of frozen food, unless you slop it with jarred…

IMO...who cares...its a cheat day!!! JUST ENJOY!!!!

Lifting heavy weights is not something anyone starts out doing, its something everyone works towards! Start where you are, and go slow from there, and will be surprised where you are in 6 months! GL!

Some great ideas there, gonna have to try them all. Thanks all

I was just trying to get across the point of not getting too overwhelmed by the numbers. Sorry I did not use the correct terms. I still believe that for someone starting out, maybe not the OP, that people tend to overestimate exercise and under estimate food, so its better to find your number, be it NEAT or TDEE and jus…

Where did you get that I said to eat back your calories using TDEE set at sedentary? This is what I have not been able to figure out? I said set TDEE to sedentary,and DONT EAT THESE BACK. Its a good place for someone starting out to start, and adjust from there... i did mention setting MFP to sedentary, and eating these…

Thank you very much.

Sorry to have opened my mouth, and confused and offended 2 people, 3 including the OP, I should have read your post again. Make a mistake and people jump all over ya... It wont happen again. Ill leave it to the pros out there. Thanks Yalllah, and yes good thing you specified *simplified in your post, because it doesnt take…

I dont get setting the activity multiplier to 5-6 hours of strenuous exercise?? You say you work a desk job, didnt ya? 10 sessions with a personal trainer, doing wieghts would be far from strenuous IMO. Now if you were doing 1 hr per day of Intervals, that could be strenuous... How are you coming up with that multiplier?…

MONEY GRAB.

All the time.

MFP is what you are on now... My Fitness Pal You can easily lose 10-15 lbs in 5 months, without exercise. Just track your calories. Eat below your TDEE, and you gold. Like a previous poster said, you dont use exercise for weight loss, you use it for fitness. Good Luck!

Oops double posted...

+1000000 Also.... I believe you are a bit confused....dont go blindly on BMR... If you use BMR Basal Metabolic Rate) for calorie consumption you are wrong. You should be using TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) Here is a good calculator http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ Set the Activity multiplier to Sedentary. By…

There is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself every week. But dont go ape ****. The wife and I have done it, while losing weight, and on maitenence. Sanity goes a long way. Life is too short. We eat out or order in on Friday, for dinner and have snacks and watch TV, movies, etc. that night. We eat great (like we always do)…

Nice job dude

Crunches are useless. IMO.

Just wanted to jump on here and let you guys know i got the results from by latest blood work, and everything cam back great. Liver enzymes (ALT was back to normal 42, must've been from the 2 weekends of binging, considering i haven't drank like that in some time!) Also AST and GGT were great. Testosterone, had risen to…

i weigh all my food, helps a ton, really opens your eyes! I suggest have your normal portions on your plate, enter what your eating into MFP. Then remove them each item and weigh them separately, and enter those results into MFP. See what you end up with... Could be good (you get to eat more!!!) Or could be bad ---- You…

Procrastination.

The Magic, is the part where the company makes a ton of money preying on peoples fear... It all comes down to eating less then your TDEE....thats all.... SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! Spend that money on good, whole food!!

BUMP...

50-55!

One word.... GENETICS!!!

MEATHEADS...you know who you are... Same ones that dont rack their weights, same ones that slam the weights down, same ones that go to the gym to hold the equipment up so it doesnt dont fall over, oh and the ones that are screaming with every rep (really is that 15lb DB that heavy...), And all the rest of the folks that…
