  • You can gain weight, the simple matter is that you aren't eating enough. If you are having trouble with the quantity that you need to eat to gain weight, then you have to go away from quantity and go to quality. This means dense foods with fat in them. First thing that comes to mind, and most people usually love, is peanut…

Count calories Stay in a calorie deficit Work out 6 days a week minimum, take a day off only when needed Eat food from the earth (meat and veggies mainly, I stay away from most fruit because of the sugar content) No supplements or drugs.

    in How did you lose weight? Comment by Firehawk734 April 2014
  • I think the guy saying to eat plant based is confused. It might appear that you are eating alot more, because the quantity of lettuce you'd need to eat to reach 2000 calories, you'll never eat. It's like 35 heads of lettuce a day you'd have to eat. Good luck with that. My stepkid is a scrawny kid, 5'11 and 120lbs. He's a…

    in How much weight have you lost? Comment by Firehawk734 April 2014
  • I started at 342 and am currently at 215. So, currently I'm down 127 lbs. :) I lose it in spurts. I started in 2005 or so, and in a year lost down to about 270. Then started training with powerlifters and gained 40lbs back, but also got super strong. Didn't want to be 300+ so I started cutting again. Got down to 230, then…

  • It's a lot more than just weight and intensity. If I'm 250lbs and work out every day, that makes my body more efficient at burning calories (I breathe less because I'm using oxygen more efficiently, and therefore heart rate doesn't go up as much). SO I disagree that it's based on weight and intensity (to an extent). If I'm…
    in A daily heart rate monitor that does it ALL!! Comment by Firehawk734 January 2014
  • I went to the doctor twice in 2 months and I had gained 30lbs in a month. No secrets, I was stuffing my face. Also, I had seen a medical report on myself and they used the words "morbidly obese", which made me nearly break out in tears on the spot. I was 342.6 lbs on the doctor's scale, and I went home and got super…
    in When was your last straw that made you want to change? Comment by Firehawk734 January 2014
  • This thread is a little old, but I wanted to say something. I have an older polar HRM with a chest strap. Great for workouts, bad for tracking all day (because the strap needs to be moist to work). However, I was just on the polar website and they're coming out with a new HRM due out in April of 2014, that will do…

  • I feel for each one of you that has panic attacks caused by exercise. I thought I was the only one. I am almost 35 now, but when I was 25 I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. I had the RF ablation procedure to cure it, which it did cure it, but the symptoms I had were so bad when I'd have AF that I think i suffered…
