  • <<Right where I just put mine :) Always liked them right where the neck meets the shoulders. I work in an environment where it needs to be covered up.... Love tattoos but my feelings on them is there are times and places where they are somewhat inappropriate, which is why I put them in places that can be covered if…
  • I'm a huge fan of Runkeeper. You can use your existing smartphone, download the app, log online to view your progress and history. I bike in spring and summer, so easy to activate runkeeper, slide it in the small pouch under my seat.....and activate my music player on my phone with the bluetooth headsets. Not only does it…
  • I weigh myself Monday morning, same time (6:30am) before breakfast, in the same clothing (boxers only). Seems to give me the most accurate reading.
  • 40 Minutes 4x a week. 10 minutes high intensity cardio pre-lifting to boost heart rate Monday - Arms Tuesday - Floater off day Wednesday - Chest Thursday - Back Friday - Shoulders Sat/Sun - OFF
  • pushups, pushups and more pushups....if you have an android phone get the "pushup app" from Rittr labs....when I started I was only able to complete 160 pushups, now I do 500 with a 25lb backpack... having 3 kids I had no time to exercise, no time to go to the gym...so I started doing these on the floor in the bathroom…
  • bump for later... I have been trying to do the same, but I eat 6 meals, 3000 calories a day, extremely high protein diet (milk, cottage cheese, protein bars, fish, chicken)... Finally started putting on some muscle mass, but I am also interested in hearing from those who reply to your post...
  • Best motto to go by, seems quite applicable here: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" Stay away from it and stick with healthy natural foods....Peanut butter is good if you eat it in moderation, it has alot of the "Good fats" you need to maintain a healthy diet...
  • I always load up on protein post workout, need it to rebuild the muscle tissue, especially if you are strength training Some suggestions: 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese (Friendship is the best) - 90 Calories, 1g fat, 16g protein Starkist Tuna pouch - 80 Calories, 1g fat, 18g protein I myself prefer 2 cups 1% milk with a protein…
  • I LOVE the pushup app by Rittr Labs.... Trains you to be able to supposedly do 125 continuous pushups....Didn't quite work for me but i did significantly improve from 45 pushups straight to 77 straight... What the program DID do successfully for me was put me on a pushup routine, which I follow strictly three times a week.…
  • Well said my friend....great post!
  • Thank you mrscjwilson, That was a very nice thing for you to write to us dads. As fitfamilyman replied....our children are our lives...and they mean more to us than anything....I have been blessed with three handsome little boys, and although they drive me insane I look forward to being with them every single day.....
  • Try 6 meals a day, it'll kick in your metabolism into high gear and you'll shed the weight quickly...below is an example of how I break out my day: breakfast Mid-morning snack (2-3 hours later, fruit/yogurt/nuts) Lunch Mid-Afternoon snack (same as above snack) Dinner evening (post workout - high protein, low carb) My…
  • There's an app on the android phone for this website... I used a different one but achieved similar results... I now do about 420 in 20 minutes with a 15lb backpack on.... Stick to the program and be honest with it...and you'll achieve AWESOME results....
  • HAHHAAAAA thats great...
  • How many meals do you eat in a day? I consume 3000 calories/day in 6 meals, spread out between: Breakfast Mid-Morning Lunch Afternoon Dinner Evening I feel less hungry throughout the day. I notice the hunger on the weekends (my days off) because it's harder for me to eat 6 times a day....
  • Work towards 6 meals a day.... Breakfast Mid-morning snack (fruit/yogurt/nuts) Lunch Mid-Afternoon snack (fruit/yogurt/nuts) Dinner Evening Snack Eating every 2-3 hours kicks your metabolism into high gear and you'll see quick results...My friend tried my 6-meal/day diet and lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks...he dropped back to…
  • Mine currently is 480 pushups in 27 minutes with a 11lb backpack 3 days a week, 100 leg lifts using ab straps in my basement the other 2 days.... and cardio on the weekends. My diet includes 6 meals a day, 3000 calories, high protein....
  • Gotta tell yourself you can do it....focus on the prize.....tell yourself you will NOT give in....Start out by sticking to your diet for 6 of the 7 days.....give yourself 1 day off. Eat 6 small meals and drink 16oz of water at 4 of the six meals (will make you feel less hungry): Breakfast, Mid-morning snack (apple, fruit,…
  • NICE!! Here are a couple to add to your list...my personal favorites and quite applicable here: "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength,not a lack of knowledge,but rather a lack of will." ~Vince Lombardi~ "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the…
  • I usually give myself the weekend off.....I stick strictly to my diet until the weekend....because I'm below my goal weight I give myself two days off instead of one....IF I know I have some party or something coming up I will give myself that day off and take away one of my weekend days to make it up... Supposedly, going…

  • I prefer cereal myself....low fat...light meal that is easy on your stomach.. If you follow the serving size a typical bowl of cereal 1 cup cereal/1 cup milk...will run you about 230 calories...We use 1% milk in our house....give or take calories if you use 2% or skim
  • at first it's tedious to measure out everything, but after a while it becomes second nature...I can actually add a lot of it in my head... the thing that helped me most was that when I read a serving size (for example, potato chips)...I would cut it in half if it were an unhealthy snack....so a serving size of 12 chips I…
  • You can do it fortworth.....Just stick to it... and as Diane said..be honest at first it's tedious to measure out everything, but after a while it becomes second nature...I can actually add a lot of it in my head... the thing that helped me most was that when I read a serving size (for example, potato chips)...I would cut…
  • Steve, I am trying to build muscle mass through pushups and ab routines.....and everywhere I read says that if you are trying to bulk...you are NOT supposed to do a lot of cardio...that it breaks down muscle tissue... I try and stick to once a week (when I can get out).....The last time I spent substantial time in the gym…
  • Cris, I have to wait until my kids are in bed...otherwise they jump on my back to play and I can't hit my goal.... I actually think my next routine will be off chairs to get a lower dip....
  • kennie>>> LMAO!!!! Thats next on my list....having them sit on my back!!!
  • https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rittr.pushups&feature=search_result I haven't tried the 125 continuous pushups yet to see if it really worked...I'm so hooked on my current routine after I completed it (ended at 388 pushups) I have just increased my sets by 1 or 2 to get to 444....tomorrow I am shooting for 456
  • Great job so far Paul...Keep it up!!! I lost 22 lbs in 3 weeks using this program...I love it and feel great...I'm 33 with 3 kids and went from 192 to 170 (right where I should be). Now I'm actually trying to put on muscle instead of the fat.... If there's any advice I can give you, it's to not get discouraged if you see…
