  • First off, two congratulations. First is sticking with it, Second is on the inches lost. Totally awesome. Keep yourself focused on continuing your routine and the weight will come off. I have done 90x 3 times and to be honest... you are most likely going to lose the inches first. Once you lean down, the pounds will come…

  • Boy, I am not sure what message to take from this. My initial thoughts... since i can't control my surroundings/environments and there are influences that have a negative impact on my health... I should just quit MFP and call it a day because I can't make a choice (and I am not talking about deciding to be obese or not,…

  • I don't disagree that some people have a difficult time with weight. I don't have a problem with people who don't want to eat right or make exercise a priority, but for most they use excuses instead of just stating that they aren't commited to changing their lifestyle. Don't want to commit? Okay, but don't tell me your…

  • IMHO, It isn't just over eating. Its not being active also. Watching TV for 3 hours a day with a beer in your hand is the easy path, and quite common. 'When do I have the time to exercise?' The answer is never when FaceBook and Wheel of Fortune are the priority. I don't think most people are willing to commit to being…

  • Has anyone on this site tried this for more than 30 days? There seems to be a ton of 'I am starting today'... or 'I am buying it today'... 'I am on day 2...' but no... 'I have tried it for thirty days and here are my results'. I am 6 days in, nothing spectacular yet. I will try to post something when I reach 30 days. I…

  • If you are doing a lot of push ups, I recommend push up bars (Gofit Link below) http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&biw=1259&bih=655&q=push+up+bars&safe=active&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17447940115313005621&sa=X&ei=ak_mTdyuPIP00gHexLj7Cg&ved=0CDQQ8wIwAQ# They are relatively cheap, but they eliviate a ton of wrist…

  • LOL, thats great. To be honest, I don't know that there has been any studies on why we shouldn't eat silly putty. Have you ever picked up a nutritional guide at McDonalds (which I am sure that most American's haven't)... gah, its all crap.

  • I work out 6 days a week and try not to beat myself up when real life interrupts the schedule. Put in what you can put in... and ... a) still achieve your fitness goals b) have time for yourself. Life isn't always about exercise. Family and relaxation have to come in at some point.

  • Preparation is key. I cook a lot during the weekend and just freeze food. I am not a big fan of defrosting meals, but it beats a burger and fries any day. I also buy ground turkey, pack them into patties (you can buy them frozen, but its more cost effective to make them yourself), individually pack them into zip locks,…

  • This is the time to be selfish. I have yet to find someone who said that they started living a healthier lifestyle for their friends. I have taken the approach that I am going to change my life (exercise and diet). I casually throw in the 'if you want to join up with me, you are welcome to come for the ride'. If they bite,…

  • Sugar is always a hotly contested item when it comes to diet. IMHO, and its only opinion, you are going to go over the daily recommended amount of sugar. Two 8 ounce glasses of milk is 20+ grams of sugar. If you add an orange, you can add another 24g's. My recommendation is just to keep an eye on it and try to keep it as…

  • Second pass on P90X. I am going to state some realities. 1) Your body shape will change with P90X guarenteed. Don't expect to go from having a tire around your mid section to a six pack of abs in 90 days. Will you lose the tire? Most likely. There are a lot of factors that play into getting that toned. Just be realistic. I…
