  • I drink Bourbon, doing the research it is basically empty calories. No carbs, protein, or fats. Average 1 oz pour is around 100 calories
  • In one year you lost over 100 lbs! First Congrats!!!! Second during that time you have lost muscle, no way around that, losing that much weight resulted in muscle lost. The "muscle gain" you see is the fat that you have shed allowing the muscle that is left to come through. My recommendation is to start putting muscle back…
  • I have two different lists depending on cardio or lifting. For lifting I like guys like Rob Bailey, Skillet, Red, Thousand Foot Krutch, Eminem. If I am running I go with up beat hip hop/rap, guys like Fresh Prince, Rob Base, 69 Boyz, Fat Boys :smiley:
  • 35 Cause that's when I became saved and truly started being the husband and father I was supposed to be! What is your favorite cheat meal and why?
  • Honestly I do 30 mins of cardio twice a week total. I lift 6 days a week though. You are going to have people give you a hard time about doing so much cardio and you should lift and blah blah blah. The bottom line though is if you love to run, then run. It isn't my cup of tea hate it with a passion actually but I see the…
  • I'll stand up LA Lakers Purple and Gold BABY!!!! I know we are in the tank right now, but like someone said earlier we are never down long! Say what you want about Kobe, but he is and always will be one of the greatest players of all time! Management has screwed the pooch on handling the team and that is why we are sucking…
  • I don't have experience with this diet and I don't know how much a stone is. But what I can tell you about this diet is that you will definitely lose weight, it is a very low calorie diet restriction. The problem with things like this is people tend to crash and burn. You will lose a bunch of weight initially, however you…
  • Don't guess it's a trap!!!!!!! LOL been married almost 20 years I'm not falling for it!
  • There are ways to minimize the fat gain from eating at a surplus, however to answer the basic question OP, 3 weeks isn't enough time to see gains no matter what you are doing, with that said; in order to see gains, you have to lift heavy and eat at a surplus. body weight exercises and eating at your BMR will result in…
  • I've seen your blogs...You do! :D
  • As long as I crack top 100 I am happy cause I can get better LOL, P.S. new story mode just started :laugh: :laugh:
  • Looking at it from a bit of a different perspective, would you be depressed if you lost 75 lbs in a year? 50lbs? The point is to get healthy and while 79lbs is very doable, it would be a huge success to lose 50lbs in a year and be happier and healthier! Just do your best, give it everything you have and if at the end you…
  • Not to be mean, but then why bother??? I know I am probably taking this out of context, but losing weight, gaining strength, putting on muscle, getting to be a better, fitter you all takes HARD WORK! If you aren't willing to put in the work then you are better off just eating and doing what you want! Again if I took the…
  • The only problem with Ketosis or any other food eliminating diet is the fact that it is hard to eliminate something from your eating habits. Most people that do no carb, or no protein, or Paleo, or no fats is that your body will start to crave them. Most people cannot handle the cravings and will turn to binge eating. My…
  • In cause I play this at work too!!!
  • 8-5 Mon-Fri I take the stairs whenever possible, sometimes I will even take the stairs to go use the restroom, even though I have one on my floor. What do you do for your breaks and lunch? You could take conversation laps around the office to say hi, or walk the block. Do sets of push ups at your desk, body weight squats.…
  • I say Leeloo from 5th element http://i.giphy.com/BTe6OassV0iDS.gif so apparently I don't know how to post gifs, but Leeloo is the character played by Mila.
  • Usually the biggest baddest looking folks in the gym are also the nicest. I personally don't think you need to pay for a trainer, if the gym offers a freebie take it, but most people at the gym will gladly help you. Just make sure of a couple things 1) never talk to someone while they are in the middle of lifting! 2)…
  • ^^This^^ is pretty much exactly what I was going to type!!!! Even was going to suggest the group. Other than that just remember a ton of people "think" they know what they are doing, few actually do! Be careful to listen to the right ones
  • I was going to ask what TL;DR meant so at least she answered that question for me :smooched:
  • Sex is an obvious choice, speaking as a married guy of almost 20 years, anything out of the ordinary would be a huge reward! Weekend sex away to a nice hotel with no kids (if you have them) would be amazing! Along the way, sporting tickets are good, how about steak of the month club membership?! Date night planned by you…
  • I had an old 1SG that used to tell us whenever we didn't like something: "If you don't like it there is two things you can do about it, like it and nothing!" Always thought it was strange to say, but I tell my kids that all the time now! Side note this happened to me just this morning, got up, it was cold, still had to…
  • Take it one step at a time. To say that you need to weigh 155 is a guess. With proper nutrition and exercise you could be a healthy BMI at 140, 150, or even 170! The scale is just a number that takes absolutely nothing into account other than the amount of weight placed upon it. Work on being a happy, healthy you and the…

  • And Thank You for your Service!
  • Was actually on a field exercise stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA. We heard the commotion and devastation on the radio that morning, we got pulled out of the field and put on 24 hr lock down on base waiting to see if we would be told to just keep our bags packed and get on a plane!

  • The perfect picture to go with the statement! Like Mity said your protein looks to be a bit high, and going up 1lb after 6 weeks sounds like a good thing. I would say take pictures, without knowing your activity level before you started, this one lb might be something like 2lbs pure fat lost and 3lbs LBM gained. (numbers…
