Glad to see to you are back with it. I will advise caution while adding weight training to your program. Asb for me ..... I had a C4-5, 5-6 discectomy and fusion. My physical therapy focused on range of motion. I strictly abided by my neurosurgeon's advise regarding physical activity and exercise. I didn't start to…

Awesome job on your weight loss. As an Italian myself, Italians kick *kitten*!!!!!

All the "chicks" in my friends list. I cannot forget to mention the baddest one of them all ....... my hot wife. Whoop whoop!!!!!

As a former personal trainer ...... several individuals have commented on impatience and not using the scale as an indicator of progress. From a quick glance and your profile, you have made rather good progress in your program. You mentioned the program you are doing now is "easier" than when you first started ...... that…

^^^^^^^^^^This is a very sound explanation and very well explained. You mention you played softball and field hockey, rotator damage or weakness could potentially be an issue. An MRI would be needed to determine the extent of rotator cuff and shoulder muscle damage. Below is a link to an article w/references regarding the…

As a former trainer who dealt with many female clients, I would always advise them to NOT use the scale as a measure of progress. All it really tells you is your overall body mass. BMI indices are misleading, too. Based on my BMI, I am almost obese. Look at my pics and you will see I'm no where near obese. I told them to…

Its okay to vent. We all need to every now and again. As a husband with a wife who has lost roughly 30 pounds, I have noticed and I tell her. I try to be as supportive as I can and let her know just how amazing she is looking. Her clothes falling off her body is a welcomed benefit. Whoopie!!!!!! If his lack of…

I'm 44 and have lost a total of 65 pounds over the past 4 or so months. Not your typical weight loss; however I tend to Kick My Own A55 when it comes to exercise. Read my profile and you will discover why I wanted to loose so much. I am also a former personal trainer and can offer assistance to those who request it. Anyone…

Wow. Great progress so far and, yes, I LOVE KLONDIKE BARS. I have to go to confession after I have one. LOL. I am a former personal trainer and can offer advise to assist, as well as, be positive regarding your progress. Be advised, I can be brutally honest, too. Read over my profile for my qualifications and education…

Feel free to add me and pick my brain for any exercise information or questions you may have. Progress can only be made with an overall positive outlook.…

I've been told I look like Sylvester Stalone and NASCAR driver Tony Stewart. I actually met Tony and he said the same thing.

Welcome to the MFP family. Read my profile for information on my fitness background, etc. Some advise ......... before taking advise from some of these posters on here, try to vet them as best as possible (read their profiles, ask them questions, etc). There are way too many unqualified individuals giving poor and…

By posting this very topic you have answered your own question. Do you really need to ask us here? Not trying to be mean, just brutally honest with you. You are the same age as my oldest daughter and she, too, had a similar situation. It turned real ugly. I point blank told her if she wanted to see how much the *kitten*…

Italian, New Jersey style.

Weight belts DO NOT work. Scientific research has shown these belts give a false sense of security while performing heavy lifts. These belts offer NO anatomical support for the back. By the very nature of the shape of the lower back, spinal cord alignment, hip placement, etc. the so-called support is above the target area.…

The Irish are 5-0 for the first time since 2002 after pummeling Miami of Florida 41-3. They have moved to 7 in both polls and am looking forward to a good BCS ranking. Two more home games before a trip to Norman, OK. Can't look past Stanford and BYU though. I am confident this team will continue to improve and head into…

This is because most people do not understand the physiological processing involved. That is why there are so many posts regarding this topic. If you are not eating enough, the body will go into "starvation mode" and store what ever it can energy wise to sustain itself. This energy is stored in fat and is burned when…

Rest days are absolutely essential in all fitness programs. If one ignores these rest day, they actually hinder and hurt their fitness progress. Not only is post exercise rest essential for immediate physiological recovery, rest days allow the body to recover and rejuvinate even more. While we may feel we will not be…

Hi Vicki......that is a quirk I have, too. If you do a google search on "calories burned during weight training" you will get many sites that deal with the topic. I do recommend you pay attention to articles that are "reviewed" for accuracy and/or have credible refereces.

Lisa, first I want to say how sorry I am for the "lack of support" your husband is showing. Point 1: While I do not know what he is thinking, I dont know if what he is doing is intentional. ....... Unless he has stated what you are trying to do isn't his bad of tea, etc. I for one support my wife whole heartedly in her…

Devilishly - I sent you an email regarding recommendations for your fitness program.

I totally agree brother.

Nice ride. Is it the GXP, GTP, or GT trim?

Notre Dame takes on Miami (FL) this Saturday in Chicago. Not quite the Catholics v Convicts of the 80's, but I am hoping for a great game. Notre Dame off to its best start since 2002 and in the top 10. This team is for real and I can honestly see them heading into both Norman, OK and Los Angeles, CA undefeated this year.…

I drive a 6.0 L., V8, 400 hp PONTIAC G8 GT ..... My Little Red Jet. Oh how I love it when the kids in the rice burners "think" they can beat the "old man." I just drop it into 3rd gear and feel the afterburners kick in. The look of total surprise on their faces is mind boggling and worth it as there is nothing they can do…

Confident and self reliant. *Profile note ...... my profile pic IS NOT me. You will have to look in my album to see me.

ND to the ACC. Hmmm. Don't really know just how much this will help ND, however the affiliation is "supposed" to help ND. What I do know is that ND is dropping one of its most storied rivals ..... Michigan. I do not agree with dropping UM. This is a game that defines September and I will miss it.

My beloved Fighting Irish are off to their best start since 2002. They are ranked high in both polls and are undefeated. Impressive DEFENSIVE victories against Michigan State and Michigan. ND defense contrIbuted to Denard Robinson's (QB Michigan) worst performance in his collegiate career. Look out Miami (FL), Stanford,…

I was an Air Force brat and born on Patrick Air Force Base, Florida (Cape Canaveral, Satellite Beach, Cocoa Beach, Merritt Island area). I was raised in many different states: Florida (2x), California, Michigan, Utah, Ohio. Beavercreek, Ohio is where I spent my later grade school and high school years. I currently reside…
