Yes, I am also that guy and I agree with that. I clean thoroughly and take my own towels to clean the floor as well, but I am going to go hard and I am going to leave pools of sweat.

He needs to be a fabulous tennis player.

An hour and a half of Cardio tennis would be great, just need to find a good teacher. You can go through a workout and not even realize you are working out because it is so much fun.

Great question, I am only giving my opinion, no studies to back it up. But as you increase your capacity for work per minute(fitness level), your intensity will go up enough to allow for the amount that your heart rate will decrease. I think the amount of calories lost would be about the same because of that.

You can buy little circular bandages, they are tiny and just go on the actual nipple, they are very effective.

It could be shin splints, which would need rest and ice after workouts. I have tendinitis SP? in my knee and our trainer just says to ice it after workouts. He is right, its feels good after that. Also, I play doubles with a massage therapist, and he keeps telling me that different massages will help alleviate…

I lost 63 pounds by the idea that I had to lose a total of 220500 calories. I tried to eat low fat and many fruits and veggies and fish/chicken. But, mostly I worried about tracking the total calorie deficits and tried to average 1000 a day/deficit.. It was supposed to take 221 days to do it, or 7 months. I was at my goal…

I took Saturday night off and all Sunday off my diet. I didn't do any exercise from 5 PM on till Monday morning, and I ate whatever I wanted, didn't calculate it or anything, just ate. I go to the scale on Monday and had gained 6 pounds. I am now recommitted to following the diet

My goals are to eat 1750 calories a day. I can't do that, I am finding it hard lately to stay around 2400 to 2500. I give tennis lessons and I will eat fruit and ham sandwiches and sugar free pudding and a ton of water throughout an eight hour day of tennis and after I go do my workout. I typically do 2 hours of cardio or…

It is a good point. Although this past month, using this sites system, I had a calorie deficit of 35,000 calories and I lost 10 pounds which is how much 35,000 calories would be.

The best advice that I have taken, I got from someone on this message board. When you are at a standstill, add 20% to your workout either through intensity or time.

Thank you, this sounds so good.

I have lost 42 pounds since Dec. 27. People are telling me daily how they can't believe the change in me. How skinny I am in the face, lost the waist etc. etc. It feels good. I am exercising very heavily now that I am semi back in shape. Workouts have become very intense. My caloric intake has gone from averaging 1800 to…

Today I burnt 1100 calories on the exercise bike 80 minutes in 3 sets. I burnt 700 during 5.5 hours of tennis lessons I burnt 100 calories on 25 minutes of weight training. Altogether I burnt 1900 calories today. It was a great day, I am taking a break for the evening.

The way I understand is if your calorie intake is supposed to be 1800 per day, you eat different amounts of that each day to equal an average of 1800 a week, it is supposed to keep your metabolism guessing and help when you get to a plataeu. Example monday - 1600 tuesday- 2200 wednesday- 1700 thursday- 2100 Friday - 1700…

I am usually always at my daily calories of 1800. I may go over or under a little. This past week I have tried to cycle, but have averaged 1800. I don't ever eat the bonus calories I try to exercise 1000 calories a day. I am obsessive about logging in everything, and being correct on it. Based on what I am doing, I have…

I weighed my daughter this morning, a whopping 34 pounds and it was the first time that I noticed that the scale goes in increments of 2, not 1. So I actually have been losing weight at the same rate as my calorie deficit and am now at 232 as opposed to 236. Very happy about this development. Thanks to those who were so…

What am I doing wrong? Dec. 28 - Jan. 22, I dropped 24 pounds, and it was more than double my calorie deficit, which said I should have lost 10 pounds, or a total deficit of 35,000 calories. Jan. 23- Jan 31, I lost 1.5 pounds, and had a calorie deficit to lose 4.5 pounds. Total calorie deficit of a little over 16,000…

I really liked my scale until about 1 week and 4 days ago, when it quit moving so much. Are there scales out there that give an accurate pound and ounce electronic measurement, so I can delight in at least losing a few ounces when I check. I thought this was going to be easy, but now I see it as a struggle, I hope this is…

I would be more than willing to do that.

I eat 1800 calories and try to stay at 40 grams of fat, a little under on a good day. I am now eating 15 almonds a day with my afternoon snack that provides 9 grams of "good fat" I guess. I am still learning all of this stuff. I know I am doing so much better than a month and a half ago.

Thanks for any help in advance. Here is the situation. I give tennis lessons for anywhere from 5 to 8 hours a day. If I am actually playing with my student, I put down tennis on exercise and use that(but I rarely go hard, like I would when I am playing a match). When I am just feeding balls and teaching or demonstrating,…

Welcome, how did the Film Festival go this year?

I am in Summerville SC, a Charleston bedroom community so we are about 3 hours apart.

Ok, anyone have this happening. The first 3 1/2 weeks, 24 pounds, the last 7 days, 1 pound, but during the past 7 days, I can see my face is getting skinnier, others have noticed too, and my pants fit much looser, I am still in the obese stage (237 at 5'11") so if these things are happening, then why is the weight not…
