I am looking for weight loss, I would like to get down to around 190-195lbs. I understand that what I am eating is not considered 'clean' eating, but I try to cut out as much *kitten* as I can. This diet is WAY better than my diet of chips when I get home, ice cream bars at night, and pasta for dinner 3 days out of the…

Great to hear! I recently cut WAY back on drinking in order to live a healthier life style and it's awesome to hear that you've made a choice in the right direction. Anyone here can add me if they would like!

Could be a reason why I am so tired during the day, especially in the evening. I will tone down the protein and up the carbs and see what happens.

Yep, I make sure of that since I do A LOT of heavy lifts / strength training. I am getting around 200g of protein a day.

I've learned that counting and stick to your macro count, will lead to hitting you caloric goal. I tend to go over on protein, but carb intake you should judge by how you feel during the day, before/after workouts, etc.

Favorite: Pullups and front squats any day of the week!!! Least Favorite: High reps of wall balls, and thrusters are a living nightmare of mine.

"Crossfit brands itself as this ground-breaking methodology, while it's really just an inferior mish-mash of plagiarized training techniques cobbled together in random fashion." This made me laugh...one of the fastest growing sports around being "inferior". As my father has always said, don't knock it, until you try it.…

I take mine off when I reach my resting heart-rate.

Here is the link for the weight set in case anyone had a thought on this. http://tinyurl.com/lv9jhsb This would cover a majority of the major movements, I have 35lb kettlebells and I would make a pullup bar for the garage.

<3 Crossfit!

Talk about turning a question about calories into an all out bashing of CF. And for those who say box owners do NOT need a license...in order to be certified by Crossfit, the actual organization, you have to have the owner/trainers complete the level 1 certification course. Everything can be scaled, so there is no going…

I started the Crossfit foundations classes last week and I absolutely love it. I'd been contemplating CF for a while and decided to give it a go. A majority of the workouts use your core and they are an AMAZING workout. I am always eager to learn new things and you really have to be 100% committed; and it looks like you…

I would recommend this.

With your arms huring more than the day before.....that might not be a good thing. YOU NEED REST.

I can't tell if this is a serious topic or not....so I am just going to stop replying. Read some stuff on a workout plan, eat right and rest. /end

Wait...you do this workout everyday? If so; you probably have a severe case of overtraining. Your muscles need time to heal. One day NOT at the gym won't kill you, believe me.

I go once a year and I ABSOLUTELY love it. Where are you staying? There are a million restaurants to go to but if you here are my recommendations! Steak - STK @ The Cosmopolitan Sushi - Sushi Roku @ Caesars Palace Italian - LAVO @ The Venitian / Table 21 @ The Palazzo Pub - BLT Burger @ The Mirage If you like to go out and…

Ask your friend if he thinks there is a such thing as "good fats" and see what he says? The answer will probably clear it up.

Scivation chocolate fever with a cup of almond milk and a scoop of peanut butter is amazing and over 30 grams of protein in one serving!!! Taste like dessert.

At least it's a sign that I am getting in shape!!

I really think my body is getting in better shape. I was able to get it past 90% a couple of times last night when I REALLY pushed it (which makes sense since 90% is almost 100% :laugh:) Burned a total of 1009 calories in about 75 minutes. Felt great! Thanks everyone!

Really? I've never heard of that. I am getting between 6-8 of sleep a night, so I am good on that front I think. I will see what happens tonight.

I love when people just comment and everyone else is like... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I laughed out loud at this, haha.

All I know is that the Mexican Tortilla Salad cannot be 500 calroies...avocado sour cream dressing, tortilla chips on top, on the bottom, beans...I can't see how it is possibly so low, but it is SOOO good.

I didn't know there was a different version for treadmills...do most people use this?

There is really no accurate way to measure calories without a HRM since everyone's body compositions are differeint (height, weight, resting heart rate, working rate, etc.). You should invest in an HRM honestly, amazing tool.
