It is interesting to me that you are so non-chalant about being overweight... I think it's good to not self loath, but to be that obese and be chillaxed about it....:huh: Either way, I am glad you are taking steps to a healthier you! Good luck, you can do it!:flowerforyou:

I don't start mine until after I am warmed up. If I am doing strength training I rest between sets until my heart rate drops out of my "zone" at 125, and then go another round. If I stop long enough to do something where my heart rate drops below that, then I pause and start back up once my heart rate is back in the zone…

That's fantastic!!! Keep it up!!

You are welcome. Feel free to message me if you would like more help, I am a number cruncher. :smile: I'm sure you will do great!

If you want to lose fat and not muscle then you DO need to eat at a defecit to lose weight AND exercise (just like you are doing) so your body won't cut your muscle as much as fat. So you are doing it right, but you are apparently doing it too drastically since you are experiencing unhealthy side affects. Therefore, since…

Yep, that's it. :bigsmile:

What I do is take my BMR/24 hours in the day to get how many calories I burn an hour. Probably not exact but close. So if your BMR is 1,500, 1500/24= 62.5 cals per hour, so if my HRM says I burned 300 cals working out for 1 hour I am really only burning 237.5 cals above what I would have done just being alive. But like…

So, let me get this straight, you are saying DON'T Trust EITHER?!?! Very helpful.

That's why you get a HRM. :heart:

Uh, I doubt there is more difference between male and female bosses than between one boss and another. Just work hard and be welcoming, and eventually you will figure out your new boss's management style. He may be anywhere from hands off to a micro-manager. This has nothing to do with his sex, it has to do with his…

Dairy is healthy, DON'T get rid of it! It is a GREAT source of protein, AND calcium. Especially if you are woman, don't not eat dairy unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from doing so!! Gluten is NOT bad unless you have a medial condition against it as well. Unrefined grains are REALLY good for you. If…

Good perspective. I personally am not happy with "the way I am" so I am making myself what I want by getting my fat lazy *kitten* in shape. If you're doing the same, you know as well I I do that getting in shape/healthy is NOT passive. And there are SOoooooo many other things you can change about yourself that are HEALTHY…

You can get between me and whatever if you want. Just be prepared to be mowed down. :wink:

It may work for some people, but that is just due to coincidence not because it is a good rule. It fails to take into consideration activity level, age, and height, all of which affect how many calories a person needs. MFP's system is based on calculating your metabolic rate based on age, weight, height and then using your…
-
Agree. VERY much off. Use your BMR and TDEE as a guideline, not some ridiculously blunt formula. I get SO FRUSTRATED about people posting crap on MFP that is contrary to the whole MFP system. A large person needs more calories because there is MORE of them for the body to keep alive. It is really quite simple.

If you KNOW you love wine and want some every night, why don't you save yourself enough calories at the end of the day for a glass? The key to this whole thing is building a lifestyle. And NO lifestyle is going to stick if you are cutting out things you truely enjoy, so make room for them!
-
Put your alarm clock across the room so you have to physcially get up to turn if off. Get one with as REALLY obnoxious alarm. Wake up at the samea time every day and your body will form a habit.

Ditch him. The guy has issues. It's not technically cheating but he is NOT someone I would want to be married to. Whenever you are in doubt ask: Is THIS the man I want to father my babies?! Thank the powers that be that you found this out BEFORE you married him, and then CUT THE CHAIN.
-
Nope, sorry!
-
Wow!!! What an honor!! Congratulations!!!! And good luck, you will do great!!

But you can STILL eat peanut butter. :smile: I like to eat Kashi Go Lean (original) for breakfast, which has 13 grams in 140 cals. Also, for snack…

By cheat, I meant not logging or going over your goal. There is nothing wrong with eating "bad" foods occasionally as long as you stay under your goal (as long as you are eating healthy otherwise).
-
My sentiments EXACTLY. In fact, when it is over it doesn't feel that peachy either when I am huffing and puffing and sweating and generally feeling icky.

I look down, about 6 feet as well unless I am crossing a street and then I look for cars.... I can't notice the pretty scenery. :ohwell: But I have always been very clumsy, so I think that's why I do it. When I first started running I randomly fell for no reason other than I tripped over my own feet :laugh:
