same here. Edited to add: I'm down to 189 from 230 and still fighting that last bit of belly/lovehandles also. Might try to bulk back up some once that's gone (the right way - heavy lifting and clean foods), but the belly has to go first!

I can personally vouch for the whey protein, being doing a shake in the morning and a shake after workouts (for about a month now), and I can definitely tell a difference in strength gain retention and muscle recovery time. Added a casein shake at night about a week ago, so probably to early to tell on that one... As far…

1999 Yamaha Roadstar and a (stolen) 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650 (that is probably in little pieces by now) :cry: Be safe out there and keep the shiny side up! :drinker:

I do my "official" weigh-ins once a week (usually Saturdays) first thing in the morning (before breakfast). I'll do a quick check a couple times during the week, but have also noticed its all over the place (but sometimes those are at night, after meals, etc...). Taking body measurements is also a good way to gauge…

1. 5 (2 professional, 3 "prison" tats) 2. Starting at age 14 (we got ahold of a bottle of tattoo ink); most recent one was 5-6 years ago (shoulder/upper arm coming soon) 3. Couple of Chinese symbols ("honor" - chest; "courage" - neck/upper back), sun, cross, spiderweb 4. The spiderweb was a mistake, my brother was a pretty…

Glad I saw this! Helping someone get more fit never felt so evil :laugh: Best of luck!

Black Sabbath, Metallica, Godsmack, Iron Maiden and more from that genre. They really help me get through a workout. ^^This! Add some Guns and Roses, Pantera, Danzig, and Jimi Hendrix you've basically got my workout playlist. Start every playlist with "Welcome to the Jungle"...it just sets the tone for weight day :happy:

lat pull-downs will help with those muscles. but if you only have the bar, you can use a chair to start at the top, then let yourself down as slow as possible (use negative resistance). Or turn your grip facing you and start with chin-ups (works more biceps, but it helps with those back muscles also). Hope that helps! Good…

MFP gives me 260 per hour at 190 lbs (if anybody wanted a comparison) And we're just talking heavy lifting on those days (other than a short cardio warmup)...by the time I'm done with that I'm waaay too spent to think about pushups!

Thanks everyone for all the responses so far! Great info! Just found the "strength training" entry under cardio (thanks busylady! had tried it under the strength training part but it didn't show burn)...just getting back into the weights so this helps alot! Will give it a go for a few weeks and see how it works (Thanks…

First, thanks for all your info and help! I'm about 10 lbs now from my goal, and (mostly due to a change in healthier eating and higher activity level) have been running a fairly significant deficit lately (800-900 cals a day, even with more "meals" and feel like I'm eating a ton!). That last 10 is mostly around the…

Same here also...I had lost about 20 lbs before finding MFP, and another 15 or so since, but its still hard to break that mental barrier for some reason. At the heaviest I felt really bad about it, so its hard to find a "before" pic because I avoided cameras as much as possible (some subconscious denial, I guess..).…

First community post ever, just had to say CONGRATS! I recently had my own struggle with 200, so I truly understand what an accomplishment that is and how good it feels to finally hit it. Job well done!
