Bump

The most important part of your question doesn't even have to do with exercise and that is having a "knee issue". I don't know what the "issue" is however the proverbial flags went up. If you can walk on an inclined treadmill, play tennis, perform circuit training, and squats but CAN'T use the elliptical or perform lunges,…

I can't wait to try these!

In my opinion, this article is great for a beginner. A beginner is a person with very little to know knowledge of dieting concepts and exercise. It generalizes much of the information. Also, if you read points 4 and 5 at the bottom, they conflict with each other to a certain extent. Point 4 suggests no Protein only meals.…

Tell them thank-you and also re-affirm your committment by adding you are continuing you work towards and unreached goal. This way you and the person know that you have more work to do.

Applause! Standing ovation!

I started out at 305 pounds. It is something you have to be mindful of...

How often are you working out? Three times a week? Five times a week?

Would it be possible to place small dumbells under your desk? You can do a set or two every hour. Also keep in mind stretching. Stretching muscles will help strengthen them and keep you ready for when you do exercise.

I am a little confused... YOUR pants are too big? The ones YOU use to wear before losing over 40 pounds? The ones YOU didn't like wearing because they made you feel blah? The pants YOU own that YOU now have to get rid of because they are TOO BIG?! The problem is YOU are trying on someone else's pants. YOU are in the…

A medic is a medic, no matter what branch. - Not true. The larger the service the different types of "medics" there are. Don't select one that doesn't put you where you want to be. For example, you can be a pharmacist tech, medical admin, combat medic, etc. All different, but referred to as "medic".

You need to decide what exactly your goal is. Do you plan on making a career out of your service? Or are you looking for experience? ALL SERVICES HAVE THEIR GRIPES! All service members have their complaints about the service, however, the reality is that particular unit or supervisor. The best thing you can do is…

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the titanic. The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground! The best angle from which to approach any problem is the try-angle. Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a…

Celery is a good "filler" to hold you over. Your jaws will give out before you eat enough celery to hurt your calorie intake. Also, make sure you are keeping your insulin levels stable. If don't, you will crash and feel hungry. I use babby carrots and celery. I weigh them and put them in a sandwich bag for "quick" grabs. I…

You are freakin' AWESOME!

We do that all the time. Now, we prepare so we can eat cleaner during the weekends by eating left-overs from the week and making "snack bags" with healthier choices. For example, we weigh out carrots, celery, grapes, strawberries, etc. and put them in baggies for quick and easy access. Most of the time it is so easy to…

I know I may get killed for this... Eat whatever you want! There are some rules to this though. As long as you plan for it throughout the day. Try to eat cleaner earlier in the day to absorb those extra calories. Also, plan to put in extra work (exercise) the following week. Let's face the reality of it. It is ALL BAD!…

Depends on the intensity. I would get a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) to see the amout of calories you are using. It would give you the best number of the calories burned. You could be double dipping, that is an unknown. Since you are here on MFP, I would NOT include them to be on the safe side and not put yourself in the…

Very impressed! Hard work and dedication truly pays off!

damn missing quote box.... I am sorry for you, because of your hostile, violent, and judgemental reaction to a post you say you knew was a joke. There is something just wrong with that. And as far as the above, including sending an 18 year old into a high fatality situation...and the rest...what does that have to do with…

Why would you feel sorry for me? So, you are saying integrity, honor, and respect and not good values? Why would you assume I am angry or frustrated? Why would I direct my anger/frustration at my friends? They would not be my friends if we didn't have similar ideas, goals, or values. People that "have to deal with me on a…

What does sex have to do with it? Haven't you ever noticed when a real man is present in the room, all attention is directed towards him? I knew this was a bogus thread, but posted a legit response. I have dealth with scenarios far more outrageous than this. My response would, however, be the same. It is VERY difficult to…

I think everyone knows it's a joke. However, it allows to respond in different ways. An excellent way to wast time. lol

We are only there in the summer (Crestwood) but in 3.5 years when I retire we will be there all the time. I know this doesn't help much now. Lol

Sounds great! I can't wait to try this weekend.

This is a common problem people have that are rather knew to weight losss and fitness. However, MFP is a great community to help you! First off, heed the advice everyone has stated: "YOU ARE NOT EATING ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Generally speaking, and I mean really really general, it can be said less calories will…
