Excellent post!!!

Personally I go by IIFYM - If It Fits Your Macros. I watch my calories (and yes, I eat back calories expended by exercise because I don't want to run too much of a caloric deficit). I especially watch Fat, Protein (personally I think MFP automatically figures this too low so I have set mine to 1 gram per pound of lean body…

Doing all that I can to stay on track!

I'm an older guy and have noticed a difference. Personally I think it has a lot to do with how you feel about yourself. I'm sure the hormone increase from working out doesn't hurt either. ;-).

I tend to keep it simple. I use Six Star (Muscletch) - Whey Isolated Plus Elite Series Chocolate protein (1-scoop) and water (12 oz), Chocolate protein (1-scoop) and coffee (Wolfgang Puck Jamaica Me Crazy, 20 oz, tastes like a mocha), and Chocolate protein (1-scoop) with rolled oats (1-cup) and water (just enough to allow…

I use JEFIT and love it!

Love my Flex but really want to get the Force!

Correct... however muscle is more dense than fat so per a given unit volume it will weigh more.

I know exactly where you are coming from and the comment about muscle weight, well... it's a small part of it. When I began my journey I didn't see results on the scale (weight loss) for several months. I actually saw weight gain initially with working out! Stay the course! If you are watching and keeping proper caloric…

Dedicated to transformation!

I've never gone by BMI and still won't! Yes, I'm a little fatter than I would like to be at 16%BF but I'm getting to my goal little by little. Obesity Index: 30bmi National: Above average - You have a higher BMI than 54% of males aged 45-59 in your country Global: Above average - You have a higher BMI than 87% of males…

This with some Bruster's chocolate chunk or moose tracks ice cream... OMG!!! That would be heavenly!

A few things you guys and gals hit on are good. I do appreciate the honest feedback. Yes, I am trying to keep a balance. My issue is that I had let my life become unbalanced, always doing for my wife and others at the detriment to myself (putting myself last and never having any time in the end, you would have thought I…

All I will say in addition to my previous reply (on the third page) is this: For me, since July 22 to today, based upon physician grade scales and OMERON I have gained 1.99 pounds of lean body mass and lost 9.99 pounds of fat body mass. I'm currently maintaining 1,500 calories for off days and about 2,200 calories for my…

Agree with baptiste565, ninerbuff, BeachGingerOn and others. It isn't impossible, it is however very VERY difficult, and it takes great attention to nutritional macros and exercise composition (a huge amount of resistive and some cardio, which translated to me is about 12 hours a week in the gym). I am speaking from…

@Courtney01169 You've got the right attitude and valid points! You have to do it for yourself and nobody else. It helps to have encouragement when you hit rough patches. I've been on my journey to a better me since November 2012 and have only had significant accomplishments since about February of this year. My most…

A person’s level of commitment and perseverance. The successful person has to have the ability to keep pressing toward the goal when short term results seem to be few or nonexistent.
