thank you

Ah yes. So FitBod provides workouts for you depending on your goals. I like it because I have some neck injuries that don’t allow me to do certain things. With this, I can switch a set for another movement instead. Here is a screenshot of the selections. ,

Ok def. So my goal is to minimize as much fat as possible. From my findings and research, strength training is the way to go. And while I def want to go the lowest possible, I just want to start off with a smaller number to not psych myself out. If that makes any sense. But please, I am open to any suggestions you have.…

the goal weight would be 190. it was always going to be 180 but last time i did that, i looked skinny fat. Figure now, i just go full on strength training.

Hey all! So I have been with MFP a long time ago. Was dedicated and all then fell off the wagon. Now I have decided to get back into the swing of things but with a different mindset. Before, my goal was to lose weight which it still kind of is. However this time, I’m focusing more strength training. Now with strength…

People are such cry babies now. For the love of god, we are enabling people to be so coddled. Lizzo is a great artist and pretty good at music. But health wise, she is in danger of a lot of things with her weight. JM makes a comment saying her music is great but comments on the weight on how she is open to many different…

JM said the truth and the truth hurts

The bike has been awesome for me and works well for me in cardio terms.

i guess its safe to say that there is still more research that needs to be done. But in the end, whatever works for you is good.

i think you might also be suffering from anxiety.

i got one before these dumb commercials. i guess i am rich

Just the beginning

you mean those delightful December to Remember event!!!! Peloton would be loving this if their stock price would have gone up. It went down at one point 10%

I own a Peloton bike. I love it. Does everything for me? It kind of reminds me of an Apple Iphone. Just works with no thinking behind it. Sure i can get a mountain bike and other things to make it just like a Peloton but nah. This just works. As for the ad however, its a load of *kitten* for other reasons. Not everyone…

haha. i thought this would be just two pages when i started it awhile ago. The fact that it went to Nov 27th is heartwarming haha

he is a fraud. he was even kicked out of many IF facebook groups for his bullcrap

Not playing with MFP goal. i was showing how it was alittle different. Plus i calculated the number wrong because i am an idiot. I am going the TDEE route as (just like you said) is much easier to follow. That spreadsheet provided was super helpful.

well, at first people convinced me to do my cardio on different days. so i configured my workouts to 1)do my 2 cardio rides on my off days(45 Minute and 30 minute ride) and 2)end my weight workouts with 10 minute cool down rides. (which means it is two 10 minute rides)

Here is the result from the google spreadsheet. I put realistic workout numbers . Now your take on it. As for the cardio, I have it where I plan on doing a 45 minute, 30, and two 10 minute sessions when I workout at home.

so i did the MFP calculations with 4 days of working out and this is what i get. this is with a current weight of 198 and 4 days of working out.

i put down 4 days of exercise because thats the number i can guarantee do. I aim for 6 days but sometimes life happens so i cant.

same. thats how i like it as well. though i want to make sure i am eating enough sometimes

I did but from I read here that you can either do what MFP offers or what IIFYM puts as a goal. Is there an advantage just going through MFPs calculations?

I’m eating just alittle under the Fat Loss amount. That is based on 4 days of working out.

By the way, I thought there would be more debate about this but I guess not haha 😜

Ok so in my case here are my calorie goals. I shoot for weight loss but try to stay just alittle under. Now when I workout like I describe to you, do you try to eat more than that or just eat that. Again, the goal isn’t to build muscle but to keep what I have and just burn the fat.

well thats just the thing. I ask this question because i thought there was an actual debate about it. one person i read on it says "Say you want to undertake a fat loss diet. At a point you are going to turn to cardio to help you create a caloric deficit along with calorie drops. If you are already doing 60 minutes of…

sheesh... i talked to my friend about this thread and we are both amazed at the fire behind it. In the end, its too early to say that doing extended periods of fasting work magic other than forcing a timed calorie deficit.

true but people have sworn by it. IF has helped many including Hugh Jackman and other celebs shed the weight for promotion. I just think that they were never able to get into a calorie intake for a deficit. For me, IF is just a tool to keep you from eating and maintain you in a deficit. No magic.

haha i think this debate was more entertaining here than the one with my friend.
