Just avoid cancer, or anything time restricted, because then you'll have to go south for timely (and pricely) care, or die waiting for the free stuff to get to you. (From a Canuck residing in the USA)

MFP is low on protein, always exceed it :) 1gram per body weight in pounds is perfectly fine, bodybuilders even do 2 grams/lb. That's 300g per day for a 150lb person. Wouldn't go higher than that to, you start getting into the kidney/liver long term issue, i think its called ketosis.

Wow! Nicely done!

Get sweet potato chips.

Ice hockey, all out.

This thread made me hungry....

Outback is awesome, but boy the stuff is a killer to your calorie count.

This, except change 10 to three sets of 8 if you are primarily interested in strength. It should be 8,8, 7, or maybe 8,8,6. At least the first rep be able to do 8, then the rest go until you can't do no more. Do that for a few weeks until you get to 8,8,8 then up the weight 5lb (10 once you can do above 200) and should be…

Yes, twice to be sure ;)

When you need something to keep you going just remember "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I wish I remembered who said it on the MFP forums, its a brilliant motto.

At the risk of being flamed, but this is my non-sugar-coated opinion: I'd suggest based on your post you are not yet ready for what it takes for long term lifestyle change (which will be accompanied by excess body weight reduction). Don't despair, took me 10 years of being a gym rat to get there mentally. Nothing anyone…

Hockey is a giant interval trainer. I got strong legs (soccer since I was little) and i go out there for 60-90 seconds per shift, some nights with two lines of defense-men, some nights with only 3, (so im out on average 2 min for every 1 min rest). A few years ago I wore a HRM (Polar) for a couple seasons and it was cool…

i just type in hockey and put in the time. It gives me around 1100 cal and that is in line with what my HRM used to tell me a few years ago when I wore one.

Body fat % is the percentage of your body that is fat. So if your body fat % is 33% and you weight 100lb, your body contains 33lb of fat and 67lb of other stuff (muscles, bone primarily). Percentage of body fat is an indicator of fitness, a skinny person will in general have less body fat% than a very obese person. HTH

Yeah definitely, rapid change in exercise routine, especially when beginning is easy way to get hurt. My advice, always avoid anything with "Boot-camp" in it unless its done with an automatic rifle and a rucksack (ie. you are a soldier). Its a "get results quick" gimmick which never works long term. Weights, form is…

Muscle pain or Bone/nerve pain? (stiffness vs pinching sharp jolts?)

.65 is for 65% effort. If its really easy, go up some, .80. It mostly depends on your fitness, when I play hockey I do short burts (1 min to 1.5 min) of near 100% effort. As someone said, don't worry about exercise burning. Exercise is for your heart/lungs, eating well is for your waistline :) And do weights/resistance if…

Whats really interesting is the difference between y'all and all'y'all ;)

Best answer, by far. We like 'em in all shapes and sizes. When's the last time a guy turned a girl down because of breast size?

You'd be surprised ;)

You look awesome! congratz! :)

Bud Select at 99 cal per bottle is a happy medium

Weights/resistance training

Lucky you. We were done by 6:00am with PT(45min) and shower(30 sec), getting ready for 6:30 inspection.

Almost exactly on the point. For an Army (mentality) man FAT = WEAK. Weak gets you killed.

Dear OP. The fact your man is Army is a huge factor. I am ex-Army, your are conditioned for optimal fitness and disdain for unfitness from the start. This works towards everyone, not just you, and especially against himself. (Side note, let him know to plan ahead when he leaves the Army, its bad enough that you depart the…

Did you have a daily deficit of 2000 calories for 7 days? (Deficit being BMR + exercise burned cals - eaten cals?) That's what you need to lose 4 pounds in a week, as 1 pound is 3500 calories. If not, your loss is water (less sodium = less water retained). Not trying to burst your bubble, just helping, it always happens…

Quitting is easy. If you look for "easy", it suggests you avoid "hard". Weight loss is hard. Its the best advice I can give, forget about hard and easy, just decide if you will or will not do it, then commit to it for life. 10 years I did the "temporary" thing, and the net result was no movement. If that's what you will…
