rowing on a concept 2

If you are under your calories why not? Read this is explains some good things about subject http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html

Yeah but there is no other way except for calories to objectively measure the quantity/value of the food we eat it would be great if we could say have table raw corn = 100 cal just cooked corn = 120 cal cooked to death corn 130 cals but I do not know of a way of doing hence our reliance on calories...I know the glycemic…

I did say you were correct... but my point was there is much more to the story about how we 'use' the food we eat High Protein very low carb diets are different to just eating a lot of protein, these dieter put there bodies in to metobolic state called ketosis when they burn fat for day to day energy requirements instead…

This is why some people rely on the glycemic index of the food they consume this is one way to get a indication if the food is going to have a fast or slow effect on your blood sugar. (Not quite the same thing I know) Essentially you are correct calories are a scientific measurement but we have no other reliable way of…

When possible measure the raw food as the moisture content skews the weight of cooked food very badly take the toast example. 1 sliced of brown bread is about 1oz when fresh and 3/4 oz when toasted - they both have the same calorie values usually around 90-110 depending on the type of bread grains and if sugar or honey…

I think genetics plays a big part but these are the things I heard could help 1. Don't lose too quickly 2. Drink lots of water 3. Lotion or oil such a Palmers every day 4. Time - they fade over time

This can happen with the ripeness of food too - green bananas have the starch is an indigestable form - eat them green = way less carbs hence calories

wow! keep going....

Amazing! you like a whole new you

There are special groups here for those who follow high protein or low carb diets of many different kinds - they do work but you have ask yourself is is a sustainable life style for you. For some people it is and they do very well others it is just too hard Steak is great but what if it just steak and no potatoes :)

I am really lucky I work for Dole Foods we have a free vending maching with fresh fruit and fruit cups in it and a great canteen with only healthy options... They even put out hummus and crudites as a free snack in the afternoon. You can still eat to much but it is all good they won't even serve drink with sugar in the…

OMG - very Jason Stratham!!! Your wife must be so happy

you look really nice!

great job!!! inspiring

OMG - you look amazing... Please wait a year before you do think of surgery I see from many people here that time helps a lot with spare skin issue

Lots of people here eat their excercise calories back - if you go by MFP recommended calories there already a deficit built in to let you lose at the rate you requested. to lose 1 pound = 3,500 calories deficit So eat them or not it is up to you...some people eat only a percentage back just to be sure.

The better heart rate monitors have also got a measure of your 'fitness' it takes into account when calculating your calories burnt it is call VO2 max these are more accurate than plain HRMs that are more acurate than machines that are more accurate tham MFP

Try a rowing machine - total body - no impact

OMG - just looked at dragon flags...no way

yep bubble burst all over the place I do inclined sit ups holding a 25lb plate on my chest too so that must be similar...???

I have done leg raises on a weird ball thing with arm rests but I don't even know what those other things are ---- well back to you tube I go I suppose

Mine are bothe rescues too - the corgi/spaniel mix is my avatar and the beagle is a baby

Great job - keep going!

OMG - you look great! well done

I have this from just being way too fat! I have to ask doesn't the op casue scars anyway so they put them either in your natural waist line or low down under your panty line but if you ahve the kind of skin that doesn't bounce back it will probably scar. So in one way or another you have an issue naked - does not seem…

thanks! I will look tonight no youtube at work

great job - WTG! keep it up

This ^^^^^^ I am losing but they are still horribly huge - I hate mine LOL

Great job - keep going!
