  • Sorry I don't do trader joe's because they're owned by Aldi. Just google all the negative stuff about Aldi here in the US.

  • You're contradicting now. You're talking about the average person walking, then you're talking about a trained runner running.

  • Definitely invest in a good HRM. MFP & exercise numbers are way off from my HRM. Just remember to adjust your weight in your HRM as you are losing.

  • If you have the energy to do more than 30 minutes of lifting or cardio, then you're intensity is too low. Obviously, there are many schools of thought around weight loss and working out. For me, I believe it's all the intensity of your workout. I don't have hours to spend in the gym, so I go as hard as I can. Also, you…

  • I have used the elliptical religiously for my cardio because I prefer the low impact on my knees. I'm an Army veteran who was used to running three or more miles for PT. Now I'm 42 and trying to keep all my limbs natural without needing to have any hardware installed. I find that an mp3 player full of great dance tunes or…

  • I picked up UFC Personal Trainer (for the xBox 360/Kinect) and use that to supplement my H.I.T.T., kickboxing, and MMA training.

    in MFP MEMES! Comment by bfitnbfab April 2012
  • From your own article that you originally posted: "I should mention that the body is not able to provide sufficient carbohydrate to fuel high intensity exercise such as sprinting or weight training and carbs might be considered essential for individuals who want to do that type of exercise."

  • Protein shakes by themselves will not make you lose weight, gain muscle, or boost metabolism. It's all the other pieces combined that will get you those three things. Don't buy into the weight lost shake marketing. I have a hard time eating breakfast, so I go with a 14 oz Muscle Milk(220 calories) and Apple slices.

  • I've never participated in a challenge on MFP, so I don't know what to expect. Count me in and I'll try to do my best.

  • I've heard that plain coffee or tea are the best caffeine sources while losing weight, but I can't stand either. I really need my cold caffeine (aka soda). Being a large male, I'm able to budget in that 16oz Amp and still have enough for the rest of the day. The 5hr energies are 0 cal, but about $3. I've also heard that…

  • In Response to getting 50% on work not turned in: Wish my step son was in that district. In our district you get zeros and the grading system is adjusted like this: A 92-100% Excellent Work B+ 89-91% Above Average Work B 83-88% Above Average Work C+ 80-82% Average Work C 74-79% Average Work D+ 71-73% Below Average Work D…

  • I have a Polar that I don't use the wristband because the battery died, but I still wear the strap when I do my elliptical because the machine picks up on it. I looked at the Fitbit because it syncs to MFP, but after reading the reviews of it breaking in a couple of months and some sync issues, I opted to not get it. I…
