I'm drinking this right now grape flavor. 1 put 1 packet w/ 24oz of water. It's good!

this is a good discussion. Here's my 2 cents on it: MFP is getting much more popular on the internets. Because of how effective this site is, more and more are flocking to it and with that comes more of these "quick fix" people as most people who first start getting hope about losing weight hope it can be some temporary…

oh yeah, and on the voting as to most torturous p90 exercises: 1. Run lunges - %@#% wtf, these things kill me, I'm sure I must be doing these wrong or something b/c they're impossible to keep going for more than 20 seconds. 2. X Cross Hops - "hoppin around like a bunny rabbit," can't keep this one up long but it's nowhere…

Hey guys, a couple P90 related questions for ya: 1. With the sculpt circuit I recently upped the weights to the points where I struggle between 10 - 12 reps and by the end I'm beat (like I need sugar to get up kinda beat). I'm finding that the next day my muscles are sore and even the next day where I'm due for another…

To recap, sortof... I'm in line with the folks that say people on their first 3 months of really paying attention to what they eat will find 1200 cals hard to fill. The main reason is that the first things most people take out from their diet are oily/fried foods, and processed carbs. Once you get rid of those things the…

I'd suggest hitting up your gym and asking somebody at the desk to check your % body fat to get a better idea as to how much body fat you should lose vs muscle. Generally once you get past your mid-twenties your muscles deplete and when you get really old most people wish they built up and kept on more muscle when they…

Cut out a slice, and add it to a nice vegetable based soup. Homemade veggy soups are really low in calories so if you add this to a quart of soup it'll probably end up being 150 calories per serving, ;) j/k. Yeah you gotta find a place you can dump it. That's just too much. Now for me, if it was cheesecake ... hmm yeah…

Yeah, take your time with it. I've never been a runner, never been obese or severely overweight and I started up running this year only time find that after about a month into my shins were killing me and my left knew was giving me problems. I give them a break for a couple weeks and then try again and they flair up again,…

Yes and yes. It's definitely still a challenge but more accessible to us normal non-former high school/college athletes or non-weekend warrior types. The production values of the videos are not as high as P90X though (It's just Tony and two other people in a dull gray background) but the exercises are still really good and…

Some olive oil...maybe

Thanks for that Clemson! It does point out quite a large flaw in if you consider a scenario in which you bring your heart rate up high through a high intensity exercise for a short duration and then spend a much longer time during a low intensity exercise that may maintain that high heart rate but not actually produce the…
-
Very cool. It's really worthwhile to know that with time and diligence in this endeavor success can be achieved. I'm curious, could you map out the rate of weight-loss you experienced? MFP (and so many calculators) give the appearance that eating a particular diet will have you lose X number of lbs per week and so many…

I visited gnc today and the guy there told me that to lose weight that three things taken together work quite well: Green tea extract, CLA, and L-Carnitine. I wanted to do more research on CLA and L-Carnitine but I did go ahead and get the green tea extract. From online reading, it looks like CLA doesn't help you lose fat…
-
I felt the same way as you and I just kept my cal intake low and lost weight 2lbs a week consistently for 2 months and then it stopped for about 2 weeks. So I decided that maybe I was in "starvation mode...blah blah blah" so I upped my calories and gained 1.5 lbs in the first week, but 2 weeks later I've gone down (w/o…

It seems my wii balance board likes to reuse the same numbers... Today I'm 158.7 according to it, so -0.7 lbs and back to my weight at the beginning of the month (but now w/ a 1690 cal/day diet vs a 1200/day so that must mean something... Here we are: 2/23/10: 159.2 3/2/10: 158.7 3/9/10: 160.3 3/16/10: 159.4 3/23/10: 158.7

Good luck with your diet plan! It can be difficult at first but I'm thinking if your BMR is calculated at 1600 and you're exercising to the extent that you are then eating at 1200 is extremely low and your metabolism is slow as a result. The fit body acts as a machine, if you provide it too little fuel it won't be…

Hey checking in! 12 days in and I'm finally having no problems with all the stuff on sculpt 1-2. I used to have problems with the 7-7-7's (the second pair of 7's I would have to do them bent knee - but not anymore!). Cardio still kills me though, mainly the run lunges are crazy hard and the hopping from square to square is…
-
The only reason I track calories is to know what I should "eat back" or not. considering that these timex hrms like to flatter us with high calories, do you have any advice as to what we should eat back regarding our exercise calories with them? maybe just 60% of what the HRM tells us?
-
No need to jump to such a conclusion based on the call back. Allot of specialists have offices within hospitals or cancer centers, larger medical service buildings as it is easier to get patient referrals from people coming in for some other care. I seriously doubt that a Urologist being linked to a Cancer Center suggests…
-
Thanks for that site Casper. It's got me at 19.82% which is probably pretty close, I tried with another calculator that had me at 19.69% so pretty much the same thing. I don't think I've ever gotten below 16% in my life (well maybe before puberty) so I'd be really impressed if I could just get this down to 13%. I guess…
-
Just read about it in wikipedia, sorry to hear about that :(... but I'd suggest doing very little exercise until it clears, I assume they're giving you antibiotics for it so hopefully in a few weeks you be able to get back into things but honestly I can't think of any exercise that excludes the movement of those parts and…

Are you taking the supplements? If you're taking creatine then it's most likely water being stored in your muscles due to that. Also take care to read some of the ingredients, body fortress protein has approx 6 grams of creatine in each scoop even though it's a protein drink with protein written all over it. Aside from…
-
That's pretty good. If I got to where you are I would stop wearing shirts! Good job! I'm guessing your joking about the body fat %, that's gotta be at most 12% could be even 10%. I've still got a while before reaching that, I'm probably at the 18-24% range, not sure myself as I never got it tested but I've got a bit of a…

CasperO's house. J/k. Casper, when you said you'll start once you "see" your abs, what does that mean body fat %-wise? I mean we talkn' six-pack, or just those two verticle lines that separate the obliques from the core? We talkn 10-13% body fat, or 16-18%? Forkdown, for you I've got the "Over 35" bodybuilding.com page:…

:noway: ...I was about to say...

Awesome! That is a great time. I decided since january that I want to run a half-marathon this fall and I started running every day. Gotten the shin splints 3 weeks ago and was told to take a break and ease back into it so I've been doing the training on an elliptical in the meantime, lifting weights, and starting to ease…
-
For everyone it'll probably be different. I use a HRM to get an accurate tracking, but I'm a 160 lbs/30 yr old/5'7" male w/ probably 22% body fat (I haven't checked body fat%) who only started consistently working out in january. Here are my most recent stats for calorie loss on Power 90: Sculpt 1-2, 35 minutes, 305 cals…

If I'm trying to cut in that case, should I be increasing the weight when I lift or just leave it where it stands. What's the point of weight lifting at all if in the "cut" phase of caloric deficit if there's no excess to build up the muscles? But thanks for that Casper, now I got to determine which route I want to take,…

Well it's a Bally's but it's pretty run-down though. I wouldn't call it a classy establishment, lol. But yeah it'd be interesting to find one of those places where it's appreciated. Hey more serious question, every guy wants to be muscular and cut and have a low body fat%. I'm skinny dude under a layer of fat, my pursuit…

I'm thinking the scale lies but I've got this problem where I can't seem to figure if I'm measuring the same way and the same place each time I do it. I need to tattoo lines on my waist and hips. Also I can never remember whether I was sucking in, sucking in just a little, flexing my abs, or letting it loose when I was…
