i log them - always sadly - a medium apple has 95 calories!!!! ughh.... supposed to be healthy. banana? fugettaboutit.....

thanks guys - glad to hear the advice!!

gr8 job. can you detail more of what your diet was like and how you exercised!! fantastic effort - you look great (and I bet you feel even better)!

might be high blood pressure? doctor time!! (better safe than sorry)

different strokes for different folks. I am a morning person too, but I just can't bring myself to exercise that early (mostly like cuz my morning routine/commute is stressful enough already...I don't need to add less sleep and more tension)...so I've been going at night and (as a side benefit) its helped me not watch TV…

if yuo eat fish then you are set. if you are veggie, then its whey/cassein all the way (no pun intended). if you are vegan, there are pea proteins (people seem to avoid the soy these days), as well as other forms. you can friend if - I'm a veg, but not exclusively a bodybuilder (though that's part of it). I get most of my…

Have had mine since last spring and LOVE IT!!! I find it pretty darn accurate too.....anyone who wants a buddy for encouragement/competition, feel free to add me here and on fitbit (my profile is http://www.fitbit.com/user/22TFTX) good luck!

I'm a big believer in letting something rest if it needs it. powering thru will often exacerbate the injury. remember, you are in it for the long term, and in the long term you will win it. need to take a break from exercise due to an injury? maybe try a different form of exercise (so instead of upper body work, do lots of…

great choice!!! here's a post you may find helpful: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/512956-tdee-what-is-it-and-why-you-should-not-eat-below-your-bmr

you or anyone here can add me - good cheers and success to all!

my secret here is a bit of a cheat. My main goal is, other than to eat something nutritious and in my macros, to know what I'm eating. I do this best by assembling a fake pizza from known quantities (in this case from Trader Joe's): 1 organic whole wheat pizza 1 spritz olive oil (I count it as 1/2 tab) 1 fresh mozzarella…

they sell ground "beefless" beef at Trader Joe's - if you are not opposed to some slightly processed meat product - it really hits the spot w/ lots of protein too. I'm allowing myself a little processed food here and there (like this, veggie burgers, protein shakes) while I'm in weight loss mode....later, as I develop a…

I can't say its as cold here (NY) as it is near you, but we also had some snow come down kinda hard last night right when I was supposed to goto the gym...and even though prudence said for me to not get in the car, I couldn't bear the thought of missing it.....I guess I've change some....keep it up guys!! anyone who wants…

star wars up until age 9. star trek thereafter. that is all.

awesome job - great inspiration and attitude!!

super job mate - would you be able to share your method? (diet/exercise etc)? keep it up!

welcome man - great place here to connect on health and stay positive - feel free to add me (you or anyone here w/ a serious mind to progressing their health!).

I think the answer is "yes, probably" but then I think overwhelming science is against the idea.

IKR?!

me!! me!! I'm in it to win it!! - anyone who is/was fat - and RUNS!!! definitely feel free to add me for buddy support. I'm up to 30 min at 5.5 on the treadmill.

I'm with you for the most part. I don't super trust all the calorie determinations etc so I think its dangerous. I sort of guesstimate what I should be eating (less than 2000 calories) and don't worry too much about the exact figures burned. I just make sure I'm burning calories and improving, and also eating cleanly and…

your described my ongoing journey pretty exactly - but for me I would need to add the following lines: (1) Wow I haven't been logging onto MFP for a while...I'll start again soon, I just need a break (2) Man, its been 2 months, and now I've gained 10 pounds back .... its ok, not too bad....but I need to go hard core now or…

well done!! I've in a similar position - how did you break through!!?

friend me up! (anyone is welcome to who is up for some peer support for 2013 glory!!) ;)

"doesn't matter" - I love it - simplicity itself - and obviously you are totally correct now that I think about it!... I guess I'll just periodically fit them in from time to time (so that I can see progress, and in case any side muscles need work) but otherwise concentrate on my full body circuit routine. :)

outstanding!!

hey thanks guys. but should I do pushups at the same time as chest press? or should I go back and forth?

love my fitbit - LOVE IT. very solid and handy and accurate. it links better to loseit IMHO, but the wealth of data is invaluable. and plenty of friends there to spur you on to hitting your goals. if anyone has the fitbit and wants a buddy - friend me up! I'm at http://www.fitbit.com/user/22TFTX

awesome!! thanks so much.

I don't think even club soda is good for you - but certainly can help as you are weaning off, and also ok on occasion - but then a nice full sugar coke is ok once in a blue moon. just most days it should be water.
