If he falls on the treadmill what will happen? I think it's a fascination with what they can't have. Set it to a slow speed and let him try it. Either he'll like it and want to do it more or he'll grow bored with it and stop bugging you about it. I don't see the harm in it.

If your hungry all the time your doing it wrong. What your looking to do is make sustainable long term changes. If your constantly hungry you will eventually fail. You will need to eat at a deficit to lose weight but eventually you'll be able to eat more and be able to maintain. Don't try to lose to much to fast. You…

If a doctor put you on bed rest or gave you the 1550 a day goal then talk to him. We don't know the specifics of your situation. If your just following the the MFP plan then don't worry if you don't hit your goal during this period of decreased activity. Do not eat back your calories from previous days.

You might want to pick up some weights in between the 2 and the 30. Check craigslist or local thrift shops. Another option would be to look into body weight exercises, that can take you a long way. You can't target areas to lose weight. Your best bet is a well balanced work out. Get in a routine and do it. There is nothing…

Whether your actively sweating or not you should be wiping the machines down after so it doesn't matter if your sweating or not.

Warm up with 5-10 minutes of cardio then lift then more cardio. That way you'll get the max out of your lifting.

Did the scale get knocked out of calibration in the move? Did you ever check the scale before to see how accurate it was? Your only guessing that it changed, bumping your starting weight or adjusting the scale down 3 lbs doesn't seem like something healthy to obsess about. What is so significant about this 140 number? The…

The scale haters have come out. Weigh, measure, take pictures, there is no reason not to do all 3. If your going to use a scale I recommend a beam scale, the kind doctors offices use. Yes it will cost you a little more but it should be accurate and consistent. Even the better digital scales will fluctuate. Don't believe…

BMR? I don't know what BMF is.

Nothing wrong with starting with an empty bar. Starting strength and stronglifts have you practice without a bar and then start with an empty bar. That's the best way to start. Get your form down and slowly increase the weight keeping your form. Squats are a excellent compound exercise that work many muscles when done…

I'm eating a lot of fresh veggies and trying to eat less processed foods. I don't feel bad about putting a little salt on them. I figure it has to be far less salt than all the processed foods I used to eat. I've also started trying other things. I sprinkled some parmesian on broccoli last night and it was good.

This is not a healthy view of food.

Weight loss is 100% diet. calories in < calories out = weight loss Exercise will help on the calories out side of the equation and it will also determine what you'll look like when you've lost the weight. So I'm not saying don't exercise. I don't believe most people when they say they don't have time to exercise. If your…

I'd be willing to be the stay at home parent and not because I think it would be easier.

You look healthy! Congrats!

You can put a known weight on the scale to check if it's accurate. My guess is both scales are probably off. I don't trust cheap electronic scales. I've weighed myself twice back to back and gotten different readings. Even the expensive one at my gym if I don't stand perfectly still will give me different weights. Edit: My…

Don't give up don't give in, after Christmas will be new years parties then valentines day, easter, labor day, then summer and countless special occasions between now and then. Oh no! Dreaded summer, the beach or the pool and swim suits. You need to take control of your life, your eating and your exercise. I love the MFP…

I'm more hungry on intense workout days. I eat more. I generally don't eat all of my exercise calories. It's been working for me for 3 months. I'm still losing weight at a steady pace. When I stall I'll change what I'm doing. Funny how the this thread started with the point not to eat back your exercise calories based on…

8 required glasses of water a day is a myth. Everything you drink and most of what you eat contains water. You could never drink a liquid and still get more than enough water to be properly hydrated.

I don't believe anyone when they say they don't have time for it. Get up 10 minutes earlier, park farther away. Take the long way every time you leave your desk. Take stairs whenever possible. If your watching tv, surfing the internet, gossiping at the water cooler whatever time your currently wasting could be time spent…

I save calories or workout to earn some for low fat frozen yogurt.

I can't do a low cal restrictive diet for a day. I won't have energy, I'll get a headache. I'll end up in a drive thru asking for it to be super sized. Instead of being miserable 3 days a week I'd rather be satisfied 7 days a week then set myself up for a plan that I can't sustain.

In a week your not building muscle. It's difficult to build muscle on a deficit. You can make strength gains which is not the same as building new muscle. It takes time for your body to adjust to changes. Stick to the plan a little closer than you currently are. If eating right was easy we wouldn't all be trying to lose…

Do you weigh and measure everything? Do you log every bite you put in your mouth? You need to log every single day good or bad. At least at first this is important because nearly every one underestimates calories eaten and over estimates calories burned. I see a few of your days your over by 300-400. If your goal is to…

I don't know how to force a resize but you can right click on the image and select show in a new tab.

calories in < calories out = weight loss Weight loss is 100% diet. You will lose weight if you burn more than you lose. Exercise will help you burn more and determine what you will look like when you lose the weight but it's still 100% diet.

Only one person mentioned intensity and suggested upping it. But you didn't mention what you think your intensity is. Your also guessing at your calories burned which almost always people over estimate. If your taking a leisurely 3 mile bike ride this isn't very much or very far. If your cranking to exhaustion and can…

I would recommend climbing rated components. I'm on a SAR team and am rope operations certified. While climbing stuff isn't necessarily cheap it's still far cheaper to put together your own strap rig than to buy TRX or one of the other major ones.
