Exercise is a great way to help in this area. When I am working out, the only food I think about usually is a protein shake during and if it is a particularly strenuous workout, I'll consider something to return my sugar level back in check. I tend to eat more when I work out less... usually because work prevents me from…

Many if not most of the foods on MFP are entered by MFPers. Sometimes, these are simply not as accurate as we would like... especially when it comes to Macros. MFP is a great resource... It is just not always 100% accurate. You are right, if you meet the goals in those three areas, by all means, the calorie total should be…

Nope... Only because I don't drink.

Treadmill usually (particularly in the Summer).. but then again, I am inside at the gym usually when I catch a few minutes run time. As the weather cools, I usually will run on the track around the school when weather permits (particularly if I don't go in to lift those days)...

Nut free may be difficult to find in the bars. I use the Pure-Protein bars because they are high in protein and easily purchased through Walmart. They are also less expensive than some of the other high protein choices. I also use the Robert Irvine sometimes but then again -- nuts. You may benefit from protein shakes...…

Re-initiated mid-month - light challenge as we continue the downhill side of marching band.... 20 mile goal for now. 10/13/14: 1.5 miles - 18.5 to go. 10/17/14: 2.0 miles - 16.5 to go

amazing transformation

That really depends on you. If you can psychologically deal with the thought of it, by all means. If you find it to be a problem for YOU then avoid like Ebola. As for me, I could probably deal with it but would not want my daughter carrying that baggage so I'd probably pass on it.

Sometimes older relationships work well... Others ... not so much. I know a couple that have been together for over 20 years now (married). The lady in the marriage was best friends with the man's wife before she died of cancer. For years, they just went to church together with no seeming romantic relationship... Then one…

Great points. Yup, I am that "guy that looks at you in the free-weights section"... What am I doing? Looking to see what you are doing that I can incorporate into my routine. Yup. I have picked up on a couple of exercises that I now do that you taught me... and they ARE effective. Thanks.

A 5K run or walk of any kind would be contraindicated with this type of injury. Rest and stretch. It will improve over time. It would not be a bad idea to get seen by a Dr. especially if it does not improve soon.

OK. Was doing this during late Spring and Summer. Mom passed in July and then marching band season hit us hard (I'm a band director). So Now, I'm back in. I'll start off with a light challenge as we continue the downhill side of marching band.... 20 mile goal for now. 10/13/14: 1.5 miles - 18.5 to go.

Eat at a mild surplus and focus on resistance training. This will promote muscle growth. If you start gaining a little too much, then you can back down a bit. Surplus should come from good complete protein sources and carbs for energy. Good fats will help as well. Avoid an undue amount of sugary snacks and such. I applaud…

No HYE eaten ice cream and sardines?

As far as weight loss, I believe that for the most part it is calories in - calories out.. However, as far as nutrition, it is important what we put in our bodies. Likewise, I believe that many are hungry because they lack adequate nutrients in the food they eat. As a result, it is sort of hard to keep our caloric intake…

For accuracy about once per week will be adequate. I weigh daily but don't get bent out of shape when it does not go down daily.. It won't. Weight loss figures less than 2-3 lbs are actually not that reliable... Here are three reasons... 1. Poop 2. Pee 3. Sweat. One's elimination cycle will definitely cause some variation…

Not unless you count children's books. HYE ran a mile?

Remember, those images from those mags are PHOTOSHOPPED.... You cannot compete with Photoshop. You are healthy. Keep working out and start looking at yourself differently. Begin by telling yourself daily that you look good... Do continue to work out but with the purpose of maintaining what you have and being healthy... Not…

Many times you will lose really quickly at first and this could be due to water weight loss. My recommendation is to set your goal to 1# to 2# loss per week and try to get your net calories (Food - Exercise) to be within about 100 calories of that number daily. If you are taller, then that will exceed 1200 calories... If…

1. Get clearance and recommendations from your Doctor before you do anything over light cardio, etc. 2. With Doctor recommendations in hand, find a good Personal trainer to help you given your unique situation. Many times, heart problems can be helped by vigorous exercise BUT sometimes it can be fatal. Only a good doctor…

You are doing great and you are right. When you first start losing and when you are morbidly obese (Defined as BMI >39.9) then weight loss over 2 lbs per week generally is not a really bad thing (as long as it is not ridiculously high)... As you get closer to your goal, the loss will (and should) taper. Really fast weight…

As others have said, if it works for you then go for it. I do believe that you would do well to add leg press and/or squats... I do both and each exercise seems to affect me differently. Personally, I "mix it up". I'll run a routine for a while (typically chest/tri day, back/bi day, shoulder/tri/delt day, lower body day…

The truest weight, in my honest opinion, is first thing in the morning AFTER VOIDING, and wearing nothing but a smile (or frown depending upon the number you see)... Honestly, I like to weigh daily BUT weekly weights are better indicators of progress. Also, realize, due to differences in hydration, etc., the "truest…

To reduce fat and flab to the arms, calorie restriction is the way to go. Eat less than what you take in and flab goes away. That being said, developing your triceps will certainly help you gain strength and make firm up the muscle (aka - tone)... There are many exercises to help with this including: 1. Tricep machine 2.…

No big deal. Don't worry about it, especially if you are seeing your desired result.

Calorie counting is a tool. I have many tools in my toolbox. If I'm driving a nail, I reach for a hammer but leave my screwdriver in the toolbox. Is it because the screwdriver is a bad tool? No. It is because I don't need it right then. On the other hand, the time will come when I do need that screwdriver. When I need it,…

As far as weight loss, no. As far as nutrition, absolutely. That being said, even if you go over ONE DAY, you will be fine... You may experience a hiccup in your progress for a day or two but no long-term issues... However, if it became routine, then yes, it would affect progress (if you go over your calories regularly).
