Good old Billy Blanks. I haven't see a tae-bo video in years lol

Thanks- I hope you like it!

Thanks! Me too, I love Earl Grey so much lol.

Keep the fruit if you want to, lose it if you don't or can't in cases of allergies. I eat at least an apple a day because I love apples, especially this time of year. Nothing better than the first true Honeycrisp apples of fall...

The list is curated by @PsuLemon and if you read through the thread, many are suggestions from MFP members who have used the programs themselves. A lot of MFP people like SL 5x5 and Starting Strength, and Starting Strength has a TON a free resources online, including videos on proper form, etc. I honestly found the SS book…

Agree with the above about it being personal preference. Timing is more about how I feel and recover from my workouts then anything else. I tend to do cardio fasted and lift with a little something on the stomach, and then I eat my dinner after I workout. My stomach can be sensitive, so I even lifting I tend to keep any…

I am the same- usually around 6000 steps in a normal workday before exercise.

Cardio: 30 min walk Strength: none- rest day Assessment: Shoulder feeling great after yesterday's workout, neutral grip lat pulldowns worked really well. DH's homemade chili for dinner.

MFP claims it can be dual use, for both positive and negative reasons, which is confusing. I don't see that as a smiling face honestly- I see it as someone cocking their head to the side, like in confusion. The smile seems more like how I handle hearing "woo" in real life- smiling and backing away slowly...

Cardio: 30 min walk, 20 min run Strength: deadlifts (3x5), lat pulldowns (3x12, light weight), weighted crunches (3x10) Assessment: Shoulder resting going well- dog on leash irritated it yesterday, but it is feeling much better today so I am happy with that. Burger with a fried egg and steamed broccoli.

I agree. MFP is far from perfect, but I don't trust any machine's calorie count. I would start logging with the MFP calculations, and if you are not losing weight at your desired rate, you can reassess. If you are losing too slowly and you feel confident you are logging your food correctly, some people will only eat 75-50%…

I've lost nearly 50lbs eating fast food 1-2x a week, and not cutting any food group from my diet. Calorie deficit, regardless of HOW you go about it (i.e. just counting calories, low carb, high fat, etc), will cause you to lose weight. In my LIMITED experience, I find that carbs generally don't fill me up as much and I…

This is a really important point.

I am doing lat pulldowns and rows for this reason at the moment- I can't control my descent on negatives very well.
-
Cardio: 30 min walk Strength: none- rest day Assessment: Shoulder feeling good; Taco Bell for dinner

I like mine with a little it of cinnamon and splenda. Sometimes with maple syrup and brown sugar. Sometimes with a little vanilla extract and some blueberries. I don't buy the pre-packaged packets of oatmeal anymore. I LOVE oatmeal though lol.
-
This is my problem lol. For some reason, going to the gym helps keep me on track more than any time I have tried working out from home. But everyone is different, good luck finding what works best for you! :smiley:

Robin's egg blue- used a handful of times, but currently tucked away.

^This. I didn't fully realize how badly some of my clothes were fitting until I tried on some new ones and saw the difference. And immediately, people noticed my weight loss more because I was actually wearing clothes that fit.
-
I "meal plan" by coming up with a rough menu for dinners on my weekly shopping trip, and I have a standard breakfast/lunch that I know I will purchase. I don't often know exactly what dinner I will have day to day, but I know what my options are. I do aim for either a meal that will take less than 30 minutes to make or a…

Shoulder is feeling much better, I am going to be extra cautious and take this week off too to give it plenty of time to recover before adding in very light weight work to see how it handles it the following week (assuming it is still in good shape at that point). Thanks!
-
Cardio: 20 min walk, 20 min run Strength: squats (3x5), barbell row (3x5 light weight), planks (3 rounds) Assessment: Leftover soup; After work drinks with friends
-
Cardio: 25 min walk Strength: none- rest shoulder Assesment: Ham and potato soup, did a little meal prep. Shoulder improving every day.
-
Cardio: 25 min walk Strength: none- rest shoulder Assesment: Wendy's for dinner. Shoulder is improving.

I just want to say I wanted to save a few bucks after getting fitted in a running store. I bought $120 dollar Saucony Omni 13s from them, but when I needed an upgrade I saw on Amazon the Saucony Omni 14s for $60 and thought, why not save the money? While they have worked okay, they were definitely NOT the same shoe, and I…

I am imposing rest on myself for some shoulder pain and so I feel your struggle, it can be hard to rest. But making things worse is never a good thing.

I am glad your wife is supportive! I find it interesting that I had the word selfish run through my head the other day when I was thinking about my exercise- I was a little surprised at myself for that thought. I never thought of myself as particularly selfish, I really can't see it as a bad thing to take charge of your…
