^Good job getting back on track. I just started Week 7 of it and eating around a 500 cal deficit. Have not missed anything yet but last week I felt like the OHP was getting pretty close to failure. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

Kids yes...wife no. But I have thought about getting a k for her on my wedding ring finger though since I don't really wear jewelry.

Would not bother me. I used to work with a gal who wore shorts every day- outside type job- she had very fit tan legs with light blonde hair you could see and she looked pretty damn sexy.

I pretty much just follow what the phone app says but it's pretty simple just increase each time you do the exercise. So for squats you would increase weight on both A and B since you do those every time. The other exercises just increase each time you do the respective sets.

I had mine done last year. The results were kind of strange so I pretty much disregarded it but here are a couple of the threads I posted on it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/706613-anyone-have-their-rmr-tested?hl=rmr+testing#posts-10886182…

Stay focused. Don't over correct. Think long term- one bad day is insignificant. Keep on keepin' on.

I have a difficult time keeping sodium under the default mfp setting and I do keep an eye on it only because it tends to raise my blood pressure at some point. Just by tracking it and watching my blood pressure I've seen that for me personally it's not bothersome until I get into the 4000-5000mg territory so I shoot to…

This exactly. As if anything in anything they make actually comes from a farm somewhere.

^This for sure. A lot of the other responses make me want to go home from work early today and give my wife a huge hug. :heart: I do most of the shopping and cooking in our home and it's really not that big of a deal to plan meals around my own needs as well and my wife and children. When I'm cooking a vegetable I know the…

1. Bike 2. Kayak 3. Squat Rack & Olympic Weights

70 lbs since January 1 2012- but only 3 lbs so far this year lol

Regift to local food bank

I do most of the cooking in our home so I just plan on making enough dinner for an extra lunch or two. I find it tends to work better for me if I keep it current enough I don't need to freeze anything so the most I usually prep is two days ahead. It makes logging it easier too since you can just copy the entire meal.

I like to explore old abandoned buildings.

Don't be hard on yourself- the most important thing with exercise is incorporating activities you enjoy doing. Forcing yourself to do something you don't enjoy is not a recipe for Long term success. I love cycling and mountain biking and have never been much of a runner so I may have a biased perspective here but I say…

I had to laugh reading this because it happened to me twice right after New Years. One family member and one coworker- both of them know I dropped around 70lbs last year- both of them starting out on their own 'journey'- both of them trying to sell me on their concepts (the family member LITERALLY trying to sell me some…

I probably have $400 wrapped up in setting up a power cage and olympic weight set in my garage that I picked up between craigslist and play-it-again sports. Aside from that I spend maybe $100 on protein that lasts 4-6 weeks and that's about it. Money spent on bikes and kayaks I won't go into- lol.

Mine is usually in the low 60's- I check it with an iPhone app and only hit 59 once and it was in a boring meeting at work which made me laugh.

I agree. A food scale is a must.

My snoring is gone now according to my wife.

Some people are just opinionated and love to let you know about it. I ran into this a bit at our office holiday lunch this year with a coworker I had not seen in a while who took notice of my weight loss and spent the entire lunch providing loud commentary on everything I did or didn't put on my plate. It was annoying but…

I weigh in daily just to keep tabs on things- but starting this year I am just doing one official weigh in per month where I will also take measurements and progress pictures.

Sounds great I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing.

I always save some calories or pre-log my bedtime snack. I usually have some yogurt or ice cream.

Think long term. A few hundred calories over for one day is nothing. Sustained weight loss and then maintaining a normal weight is months and years work which will have many victories and setbacks along the way. Just go back to the plan right now as if nothing happened. Don't bother trying to make up for it by doing extra…

+1 for Cyclemeter. I upload the files to ridewithgps.com

I've been thinking about getting anther tattoo when I reach my goal- maybe something with a bike chainring or Sur la Plaque

I don't belong to a gym- I have tried several times in the past but it just didn't click with me. I really prefer just to lift in my home gym with some hiking and bike riding in between.

I posted this in another squat form thread on here but in case you missed it- I found it very helpful. http://train.elitefts.com/instructional/so-you-think-you-can-squat-parts-1-5/

I'm no expert and probably need to take and post a similar video but aside from what you said it looks to me like you need to arch your back a little more and get your chest out farther?
