I was thinking he was harassing you, but if he's the one walking away, don't feel bad or sorry or low about yourself - he's the one with the problem - not you! Seriously, I mean it's not like you're the first 100 lb overweight person in a gym in Oregon, and you've got a goal, a plan and a destination to reach so what some…

yeah, actually I'm going to do this: http://hundredpushups.com/

Well. Ok. let's see, 1,000 push ups in an hour is 100 push-ups in 6 minutes, which is 16.6667 push-ups in 1 minute, I'll round it to 17 then. I think I can do 17 push-ups in a minute, I just got to 60 of those consequentiality and I'm there. Maybe I can speed it up to do 17 in 30 seconds, take a 30 second break, then do…

Whaaat!? teacups even at 13%. I thought there'd be no fat by then. Pooches are unacceptable... I guess my new goal is for 12% then. There needs to be a bf% goal on MFP, weight is not what I need to lose - it's fat.

Seriously gr8dad u should know better, don't be puttin no recipes on the man to man forum unless it's "How to make ramen noodle packets/boil water" or involves an out-door grill. I got out and lit my grill, boiled some water and tried out your recipie and now I've got singed eyebrows and my eyelids are fused open - hmm...…

- Drink allot of water (If you can't stand it, add a lemon wedge, it makes it go down easier). - Eat tons of salad, not crazy put everything in it salad, but simple salad - lettuce, cucumber, tomato (super light 15 cal or no dressing) - Protein keeps you full longer, nuts, cottage cheese, chicken breast - Healthy fats from…

i don't get it? :ohwell: Welcome new guys! I'm back on this topic, how's everybody been? Got a question for you all about "man-boobs" - so when do these things actually start looking like pecs all the time, eh? I think I'm at 17% bf at this point and after I lift they are rock-solid and pumped, but it doesn't stay like…

It's just beans soaked in water so yeah, it's pretty tame calorie-wise...until you blend in sugar, full-fat milk, whipped cream, caramel, in a 20oz cup - then it's meal!

Keep it up - you're doing great! Seriously, ignore the scale on this one b/c when you add new exercise to your routine your body weight loss will slow down at first. It seems odd, but allot of folks have experienced this. When I started getting serious w/ MFP my first month I only did the diet, no real additions to…

the real key is to ensure you are pushing your muscles to exhaustion on your last reps. As everyone else has mentioned, soreness usually occurs when you are challenging your muscles in a way they aren't used to, so as you get more athletic, it will diminish. For me, the next day soreness isn't there but what I do notice is…

I'll join this group too. SW: 172 Current W: 155.4 Goal W: 150 (My real goal weight is probably at 145 - that'll be my weight back in college). 5 more lbs, and then I'll probably push myself to lose another 5 if I can.

Sounds like a cry for help from your brother. Inside I'm sure he's not happen about his condition but he doesn't believe he can overcome his weight and so comments like that are his way of trying to accept his condition through fatalism. Being serious about my weight for only about 4 months has made me realize that this is…

Same kind of thing happened to me at the beginning. I lost weight just by changing my diet and when I introduced more exercise into my routine my weight-loss stopped. Exercise is bad! lol. Just kidding, I think what's actually happening is that this loss w/o exercise is your body dumping water and excess muscle that it…

Um... how exactly do you shave your own back? Attach a razer-blade to the wall or something? Or do you actually have to bother someone to do it for you? I'm not so keen on seeking assistance when it comes to personal grooming - seems a little too revealing to have to ask someone to help me shave my back, it's got to be…

Did my weigh-in today and I'm at 5 lbs remaining....um... yeah I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing, a caloric deficit, plenty of cardio and weight-lifting, drinking allot of water and tea and with time it should come off. Was thinking of ordering some CLA and adding that to my diet also.

Oooh. I've been thinking to ask this question for a while but keep forgetting.

Yup. % body fat is the way to go. We all want to lose fat more so than muscle so it'd be worth it for you to figure out your body fat % and subtract the excess amount to get to your goal weight. For example, I started mfp at approx 26% body fat, a decent healthy range for men is 9-17% so I set my goal to 13%. Since I…

How are getting access to the bad stuff? You should trash any kind of junk stash you have in the house so that if you do binge it's on something not so bad for you. I can tell you, if I was living at my parents house I wouldn't last a week without falling off the wagon, everything is high calorie, high carb/sugar junk. Try…

There's a good deal of anger and righteous indignation in this post. I would like to suggest one thing though, if so many of us here at this website are here because of food addiction, then I see no reason not to think that there are people who suffer from sex addiction, so I don't think it's right to brush that off as…

I've been at a plateau for a couple months now and I'm not sure if I need to try something like that out or not. I'm sort of very close to my goal weight and ideally I'd like to lose this last 7lbs of fat and build up 7lbs of muscle so rather than attempting a "bulk" & "cut" phase I'm trying to lift often, eat plenty of…

Awesome idea! I'd definitely like to join though I did have some on Sunday the 4th but nothing since. I'd def like to try avoiding fast food for the rest of the month though. I'm in if you'll have me.

Wow! This has been my most replied to post yet. I didn't realize how much people had to say about it. It's good to read about how many perspectives there are. I guess I'd summarize it as folks either: 1. Like milk, cheese, etc it tastes good so I'm not giving it up for nothin' 2. Milk has got hormones, bacteria, pus, we…

It might be possible, but considering you're breast-feeding, don't be too fixated on it. Go steady and gradual, you lose what you lose but the key is to eat well enough such that you are able to feed your baby and your body has recovered from the delivery. You'll lose the pregnancy weight if you simply just keep a food…

I read it. it was a good rant.

And...wait...wait allot, you've got to be super patient. If you're 30+ lbs overweight then you'll find results can come quick, but the closer you get to being truly athletically fit and you're looking to getting rid of the things that only stand out when you've got a bikini or sleeveless shirt... well it's takes a long…

I used to be something of a vg junkie. I've always loved playing games, and it mainly started with the nes I got when I was around 11 or 12 years old, and my genre of choice are the role-playing games. I remember FF7 coming out while I was in college and playing on my friend's ps1 for over 24 hours in one sitting, with my…

Thanks, though y'know I just can't seem to get into doing cardio. I love lifting weights, I would love to lift every day but I know that muscles need time to recover and that stops me from doing it. But yeah, can't stand the cardio, and circuit weight training for that matter. Thanks for the motivation there, though.

Here's a pretty thorough article covering the benefits of rollerblading: http://www.iisa.org/resources/fitnessfun.htm Also one thing I forgot to mention, each person's preferences and confort differs so I'd suggest to test drive a few different brands of blades in sporting goods shops before choosing what you like. Once…

I'm a very avid roller blader actually. It's one of the most enjoyable recreational activities I do. When the weather's reasonable in chicago I head downtown and blade just about all over the place. Would get a nice 6 mile tour of the loop every night in the summer. If you can roller skate you'll be able to pick up blading…

Great enthusiasm but there are just about no legitimate ways to accomplish such a rapid weight loss. First off, natural weight loss isn't consistent, that is to say, you don't consistently lose 4 lbs each week, or 2 lbs each week, but rather it's something like 4 lbs this week, 2 lbs lost next week, 1.5 lbs gained the week…
