Disagree...the people who CHOOSE to eat at these restaurants are get what they deserve...personal choice, personal responsibility

no reason to waste money on lube...lick your strap or just wait to sweat

I'm in... Weekly Goal: 8,000 calories Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat: calories burned (how they were burned) Sun: calories burned…

Weight started at 237. Excellent weight loss based upon exercise and good nutrition. Broken clavicle and rib on May 26th. Followed MFP nutrition plan, but weight loss stalled. For me, I need exercise and proper nutrition to lose weight. Good luck with the back...

Never...and I have found it to have zero impact on my short and long term performance and mental capacities

Eat the Chopani Strawberry greek for the protein, don't worry about the sugar

eat them

Check that...126 minutes on bike...not that fast over 40 miles

65 minutes on road bike in 102F temps...HOT. Burned 2,000+ calories

Think about how long it took you to gain the weight initially.

http://weighttraining.about.com/od/techniquesandstrategies/a/cardio_weights_2.htm I have read several article in Bike rags as well to support cardio vs. weights first, however to pull the article and date of the mag would be redonculous

Long and slow...long and slow. You need to teach your body to burn your fat stores versus glycogen (readily available stores of energy). To do this, I typically ride (choose your poison) for 2-4 hours at 65% mhr (maximum heart rate). If you insist on more strenuous activity at a higher heart rate (such as intervals), your…

Cardio before weight training elevates your heart rate which carries through your weight training session and ultimately helps burn more calories.

I was always told cardio first to get the heart rate up, then somewhat sustain that elevated heart rate through your lifting to increase overall calorie burn

Whole milk and good cheddar cheese...no low fat crap.

Isn't the real reason people give motivation and support on MFP because they are looking for the same in return? Family members and friends may have other hot buttons.

brondo has electrolytes...(any Idiocracy fans)..."It's what plants crave..." Gatorade isn't typically needed unless you are active > 1 hr. I try not to use any gatorade or gels so that you teach your body to burn its own fuel.

Polar makes the best hrm....price range of $60 - $400 depending on capabilities and bells/whistles

http://www.livestrong.com/article/496236-how-to-determine-calories-burned-knowing-the-heart-rate/ Use this with your average HR to get a calorie burned estimate

Try taking your heart rate at different times during your workout to get an approximate "average" hr during the routine. You should be able to find some formula that will provide calories burned based upon that average hr and your current health parameters.

If you have a bike available, try biking...much easier on your joints and easier to control your heart rate to get into the zone you are looking to train at

I always use a generic number for my anaerobic threshold...85-88% of my maximum HR. Generally use 180 - (your age) plus 20 (or 25) to get close to your theoretical threshold number. If you are out of shape or new to rumming, you will most likely shoot right up to that number. Why do you want to train at that rate? Long and…

Don't worry about deficit. If you eat 1200 calories or less per day, you will lose 1.6 lb/week.

45 days...stopped compulsive eating and began exercising.
