Helps if I add the link: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/08/01/dont-be-a-dummy-how-to-get-a-full-workout-with-only-dumbells/

OP, look over this and see if it gives you some ideas. I basically increase weight when I can finish all of my sets in good form... So, if it says do 4x10, and you can do them all in good form and safely, add weight.

Bit of a difference in calorie burn between morbidly obese, and OPs current weight of 116, no matter what the exercise. Meanwhile, a study on hot yoga, which is not quite Bikram, as they only jacked the temp to 92f. https://www.acefitness.org/prosourcearticle/3353/ace-sponsored-study-hot-yoga-go-ahead-and

For the last week when I leave work I have seen a woman who is obese jogging around my business park. She is maybe doing 3mph, and often stops and walks a ways before starting to run again (Just occurred to me that she might be doing intervals...duh!)...but I have far more respect for her then any of the folks leaving her…

http://neilarey.com 100+ free bodyweight routines, menus, programs, etc. Also FitnessBlender on youtube is great.

Currently I have intake set at 2600, and burn the same (maintenance) ...but I averaged 3074/day, and intake was 2720/day for the last 28 days. I keep it set more for days that I don't do much, so I plan on eating for them, and then on days I am really active, I know it, and can change how I eat. Still adjusting to not…

The other day you had strawberries for breakfast ...something like 50cals. Drink 2 cups of whole milk with it and you are now at 250 cals. Put the strawberries, milk and a scoop of protein mix in a blender, and now you are at 400 cals total. Maybe add in some Greek yogurt. Have a Balance bar as an afternoon snack, and…

Not sure how trying this is not covered under "try everything until you find what works for your body". If it works, it works. How you got to it might be in question, but it is a method to try. But...currently you are dropping 1-2lbs per month...and now going to try other things to see IF they are faster....but they might…

The big question is what is your goal, what keeps you going, etc. I tried a session at 9Rounds (9 stations, 3 minutes per station, with 30 seconds of random something between, or putting on gloves, kickboxing heavy, and they change up what you do at each station daily). I liked it, but they are in Wildwood, and I live in…

These open ended questions don't really work. It is like asking a group of 1,000 people who make between $15,000 & $500,000 how much money they plan to spend on their son's birthday gift. The answers will be all over the place. That said, I plan on leaving enough to be enough to have my meal. I target 2600 per day, and…

I don't think it is "I can eat like a pig and never work out!" I gained my 35lbs of extra fat over 5 years. That is 7lbs/24,500cals a year... which is an average of 67cals per day over my TDEE for that year. And the next year...well, I am older, fatter, likely less active...more time sitting, less time being active. I know…

I am watching what I eat...not dieting. I didn't try to lose 2lbs a week for every single lb. I worked from 2lbs per week when I was rated as obese, and then kept cutting down my deficit the closer I got to my goal weight. This teaches me how much I can eat, so when I am at goal, I am already pretty much eating as I need…

http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ Pics and stuff. No abs at 170 No abs at 117 No abs at 131 Abs at 142 No clue what "I do regular abs" means to you, but I am going to guess it means you need to do something different if you want to see something different.

Another BodyMedia wearer here. I love it, and think it is reasonably accurate, as most of the tech is the same stuff that is not "just a fancy pedometer" is the same type of stuff a hospital uses. Check out the link, click the arrows on the left side to see the details, and it will give you an idea of what all it shows.…

Take the kids for a walk. Lots of cals to burn that way. Also take a look at this site, as she has 100 or so bodyweight workouts. Even if you can't find the time to do all of one set of them steal a exercise or two you can do when you get a chance. Also silly things like lifting the baby from the floor to overhead, and…

Make sense as running is a quick burn, and carbs are the best for that. Where as I am close to maintenance (2600cal) and trying to keep/add muscle, so 40c (260g) / 30p (195g) / 30f (87g). I tried 40c/40p/20f ... I never came close to getting that much protein in a day.

It just has to fit you. Some folks eat one meal, some folks eat 6. Some eat one big meal and the rest small, while other might eat all at the same size.

Scale numbers are, IMO, not that great of a goal, compared to "I'd like to look like..." The link is an example of one of the reasons I say this: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ Staci is 5'4". She went from 170 (BMI 29.2) to 117 (BMI 20.1) because she thought being…

My favorite example of IIFYM eating is Kane Sumbat. He likes to eat 6-12 Krispy Kremes a week. www.simplyshredded.com/kane-sumabat.html He is also 1" taller, and 15lbs lighter than me, so as a rough guess if I lose 40lbs of fat and gain 25lbs of muscle...yeah right.

Correct. Just wanting to point out that doing bodyweight workouts is lifting weight, and often are compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups. And I'd hope that learning some of these "I could do this at home" stuff carries over to her doing just that later on when she is lifting weights and can't make it to the…

Started off at 34% (220lbs) Targeted 27% Made it and targeted 24% Made it and targeted 20% (190lbs) Made it and currently targeting 17% Might aim for 15% if I think I need it to look better.

What does your workout look like? Are you struggling to do it? He is having you do push ups... are you doing them on your toes, on your knees, or on an incline (as in hands higher than your feet)? Are you doing 3 sets of 10 reps, or struggling to do 3 reps the first set? Doing a pushup while on your toes means you are…

Spent the winter on treadmills, and it helped me start getting an idea of "This pace is 6.6mph....and this is 7.5mph". Warmer weather, and now I am running outdoors. I run the same 1 mile circuit, but switch which way I run each mile as one way is steep slope up, long slope down, and the other is long slope up, steep down.…

Point your PT at this article: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ Staci is 5'4", 142lbs, and deadlifts 315lbs. I don't think she looks bulky, and looks better to me at 142 then she did at 131. And then if she will not assist you in lifting heavier, drop her, inform who…

We have standards for things... Watched the guy at Arbys the other day weigh the roast beef for each sandwich. They have to be within 0.2oz. The gal at Dominos places 1 ladle of sauce on a small pizza, and counts out the number of pepperonis. The guy at the deli weighs all the meat he slices. The bakery chef can tell you…

I keep looking for the "like" button Also protein, if for no other reason than it keeps you feeling full longer than carbs and fat. http://stronglifts.com/5x5/ Also check out Fitocracy.com. It is basically MyFitnessPal for working out, and has lots of folks willing to give advice, groups for different types of workouts,…

No.... I am saying I gained muscle, while eating at a deficit. That is the point I am trying to make. If you cut my arm open there would be more muscle and less fat then was in there 15 months ago, 9 months ago, 1 month ago. You can call it newbie gains, or even Sammy Hagar for all I care. It is muscle, no matter what you…

Question was asked "Can you gain muscle while eating at a deficit" I say I did. People keep saying "Newbie gains...newbie gains...newbie gains" Newbie gains of...what? Say it with me now... Muscle. At the same time I lost fat. In the 15 months that I have been working on changing my life I have watched as for 11 months…

So, please explain to me how now that I am 190lbs, my arms are 1" bigger than when I had all the fat at 220? My thighs are now 1/2" bigger at 190 then they were when I was 220. My chest is 3/4" bigger at 190 than when I was 220. What filled that area, since you seem to think it could not be muscle? There was the part where…

I eat around 2400 cals per day, and I burn around 2900/day. So I need to burn about 500 fat cals (55 grams of fat) every day...I wonder what happens if my body burns 65grams of fat, and diverts some of the 150g of protein I eat each day to adding muscle. Now, if I was running under 10% body fat, I might have a problem…
