I just signed up for a Tough Mudder in Sept. I've never ran longer that 5 miles in one shot. 10-12 miles of mud and obstacles should be interesting. I wish you luck on your half marathon! How are you training for it?

I ran 1.5 miles today in 12 minutes and wasn't out of breath. Also I've noticed how strong I've gotten. It is crazy how much things can change in just a few weeks.

Well it has been about a month since I last measured. I'll post new ones tonight or tomorrow. :-)

Nicci Johnson. I found her through Strong First. I keep gushing about how happy I am to find someone other than youtube videos and programs I've downloaded.Prior to this I'd never been to any trainer of any type and I forgot how much harder I work with someone standing there watching me. There is one HUGE downside to this…

I have no idea why the bell was so cheap. I even had them check it twice it rang up for on sale for the same price as the 16kg one, so I jumped at it. My first visit went great. I was happy to hear my form was surprisingly good for learning from videos and just doing what felt right. I couldn't be happier with my trainer.…

I weigh myself everyday at the same time wearing the same thing. My scale reads bodyfat also and uploads it all to MFP. TBH the number on the scale is secondary to me compared the the BF measurement. I know there is a margin of error on the test, but I am able to track it daily. I used to weigh myself/get my BF tested once…

Sounds fun! 8 Apr 422 calories 9 Apr 1194 calories Total for the week 1616 cal / 221 = 7 pieces of cheesecake burned Or if we are going by calories left over at the end of the day compared to our goal... Monday 699 cal over Tues 322 under Weekly total 377 over so....I have eaten 1.5 pieces of cheesecake and burned 0 lol.

My April plan: Get my nutrition and eating habits under better control Start Kettlebell Burn 2.0 Bike to and from work at least once a week (12 miles round trip) Start taking a progress pic every week in my swimsuit on the same day of the week at the same time with same lighting so if the scale doesn't move I'll at least…

It is amazing what confidence and being more fit can do for you. I'm almost 37 and I consistently get mistake for 10 yrs younger. A lot of it is attitude and how I carry myself, but getting more fit has definitely helped. P.S. my real age never leaves this post lol ;-)

I like Level-1 Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup by 1stphorm as a meal replacement. There is a store near my house that sells it for cheaper than anyplace I can find online. It tastes good and it doesn't get me all gassy like a lot of the cheaper protien shakes do.

I just moved to outside of St Louis, MO. I've moved every 2-3 years for the last 18 years (Dallas, Panama City Beach, Salt Lake City, Seoul, Doha, Germany, Japan, blah blah blah). I do love to travel and see new places.

Those and the starburst flavored jelly beans. As long as I don't buy any candy I should be ok avoiding it all.

I promise to train with kettlebells 3 times a week, do 2.5 hrs of hot yoga, 3 HIIT kettlebell sessions and maybe even some just for fun cardio (like bike rides).

not happy about my starting point.

Age: 36 Height: 6'1" Calorie Goal: 1500 + whatever I burn doing cardio SW: 228 @ 25.3% bodyfat CW: 225 @ 22.3% bodyfat Challenge goal: idc about weight but I'd like to be <18% BF End Goal: 13% BF and a flat tummy and to look amazing naked Prefered workouts: Kettlebells for strength/cardio, hot yoga 2x weekly, I may start…

I use my food scale and disposable plastic tubs. I cook for the majority of the week (lunch/dinner) on Sunday dividing my meals into containers. Since they are all premade/weighed it makes logging my food easy. When I want something different I'll whip it up, but the one rule I have is I put it in my log before I eat it. I…

I'm not sure what advice to give you. I don't ever buy any DVDs or programs. I always use youtube or download off the internet. I imagine a lot would depend on the equipment you have available and what your local library has available to borrow. It is easy to get a great cardio work out with just a jump rope or a jump rope…

Congrats on the improvement! My NSV is I can see some definition in my stomach (with the proper lighting). I know it is kind of a cheat but it is a big improvement from a few months ago. My weight fluctuates 222-227 almost daily I can only hope I am gaining muscle at the same rate I'm losing fat. Other that BF tests my…

MyomyTV - Extreme Home Fitness for kettlebell, body weight and suspension type workouts. She has a lot of kettle bell workouts and some great workouts to improve your glutes.

Weight 227 Neck 17.5 Chest 44.5 Biceps 15.6 Hips 43 Waist 39.5 Thighs 25.5 Calves 14.88 Forearms 12.75 Shoulders 48.1 Bodyfat % From Bod Pod 23.2%

1) I hate all raw veggies. FUlly cooked ones are good though. 2) I went on a cross country motorcycle trip of Vietnam with never having driven a motorcycle before. 3) I can't see the point in ever being serious. A smile and a laugh is always appropriate. :-)

Looks fun and like a lot of variety!

Feel free to add me. I'm always happy to offer a word of encouragement. Just ignore the days I eat a whole box of Girl Scout cookies then do cardio for the equivalent amount of calories. ;-)

Hi! My name is Dave. I've been chubby for about 10 years. I've always been active but my diet was terrible. I got up to 265 about 4-5 years back while playing rugby and it was really hard on me. I've yoyo'd around since then between 205-230. My main goal is to lose body fat. I really don't care what the scale reads, but…

It is great to find a workout you look forward to!

I wish you luck and I hope you resist bad food better than I do!

Good morning! I'm Dave. I live near St. Louis, MO, in the Air Force and had my ups and downs with weight. I stopped smoking in January and decided to improve my diet and exercise to combat the potential weight gain. I did an underwear only fun run in Feb. I wasn't in the shape I wanted to be in. Also, summer is right…

SSand, I always thought insanity workouts were fun. Challenging, but fun!

I did hot yoga last night and my kettlebell workout this morning. After work I'll finish up with 30-40 min of cardio.
