Maybe it's a bad pic but I don't think you look muscular. Keep hitting the weights hard. You won't get unattractively big by simply consuming a normal amount of calories and lifting.

Thats generally how it works. When I play basketball at night I would sometimes burn upwards of 2000 calories. I would not be hungry when I went to bed shortly after playing. The next day I would feel like I couldn't eat enough. In reality I still had 2000 extra calories to eat.. so I would eat more the next day ~ 1000. I…

I am 5'9 200 lbs and when I do HIIT and or long runs I burn 1000 calories an hour. (heart rate monitor, avg heart rate around 180) I bet your calorie burn is pretty accurate

haha there is an advertisement for an ab belt on the side of the web page while I was reading this.. nice

Definitely eat something. I usually just have a bigger caloric deficit the next day to get back on track.

You should get a heart rate monitor. Less than 100 dollars, and it is worth it

I bike to work 5 days a week, but its only 4 miles each way lol. Biking to work is so satisfying. And you save a TON on gas / parking. Good luck!!!

Squats and Lunges. Many reps with lower weights. Keep working on the toning, it will come

I drink close to 200 oz of water / day at work (8-5) and have been for 6 months. I still pee every 45 minutes :(

My views as a guy.. 1. He wont respect you if you have sex on the first date I would rather get to know the person first.. and that takes more than one date, thats for sure. Disrespect them? No \\\\ Want to do it on the first date? No 2. Men love the chase Quite the opposite really 3. A man can't be friends with a women…

Conclusion from reading this thread: Some people can have huge caloric deficits and lose weight fast. Some people can have huge caloric deficits and NOT lose weight at all. Some people can have minimal caloric deficits and lose weight fast. So basically. TRY WHAT YOU WANT TO TRY AND DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. The OP even said…

Yea just eat them if you are hungry. Don't eat them if you are not. You look pretty slim already, so its not like 1200 is THAT low for you. If you had a lot of weight to lose 1200 would be bad probably.

That is awesome. If my work had shower I would love to run a few days a week, but they dont. I get pretty sweaty biking, but I usually try to fan off before I come into work so I can cool down ha ha

so true. It takes me less time to get to work now that I bike lol. I did not have a parking pass (55 / month ..) so I had to park in the free parking and walk or take the bus 3/4 a mile, so It takes me 16 minutes to get to work now, as opposed to 30 minutes driving. The extra exercise is awesome too, I love going for a…

You just need to eat more

After my cooldown (walking to my car etc) / stretching. It really wont make a big difference. An extra 5 minutes of low heart rate is only like an extra 25 calories for me.

In church? really? Sure the comment was uncalled for, but you need to learn to turn the other cheek and exercise some self control. Roid rage

In this thread: Fat people hating on skinny people. Then skinny people hating on fat people for hating on skinny people. Thanks for the hearty chuckle Good read

The criticism from people that are close to you is the worst. A majority of my family is overweight. I was training for a bodybuilding competition with my wife a few years ago and I lost 20 LBS and gained tons of muscle in less than 3 months. My family kept commenting on how "I look sick" and "I look unhealthy". It was…

Eat whatever I want withing reason and within my calorie limits (usually ) Some days I'll go to a chinease buffet and scarf down 3000 calories lol. Other days I usually eat good for breakfast / lunch and then pig out for dinner. You can eat what you want as long as you are below calories, to lose weight, but if you drop 50…

QFT.. Agreed

It seems like everyone eats healthier than I do. I dont really care though. I enjoy going to olive garden from time to time and having 10 breadsticks. Or texas roadhouse and having 12 rolls. Gotta live! Food (especially carbs) are a huge part of my life lol Just do the best that YOU can do!

People need to settle down. You made a topic, with great information that works for you. If other people want to try it, that is their choice. If they decide to try it and it backfires, then they will stop doing it and try something else. People are perfectly capable of making their own decisions. Any advice you get on the…

I couldn't agree more. Just get out. This person will never be. Trustworthy

It baffles me that you were on the other side of the coin before and knew how bad it made you feel that someone cheated on you, yet knowing how bad it is going to hurt his wife if she finds out, you still do it. I dont understand people... SMH

Love it... I need to get running again, and this is the perfect motivation to put in some good miles this week!

No sorry, But I have been playing DDR for exercise a little. I play on heavy (which is a higher difficulty) and I burn about 950 calories / hour (Heart rate monitor ... its accurate) It is super fun, I would try it.

I strongly suggest getting a Polar Heart rate monitor with a chest strap. Every person is different when it comes to how many calories they burned doing an exercise. They track how many calories you are burning during your workout and you can watch as your calorie burn keeps moving up. Not only is it very good information,…
