Depeche Mode?

I'm not new here but I would LOVE some new friends!

I REALLY like using a protein shake as a replacement for breakfast. It's quick and easy and I just throw some oats in there with skim milk and it makes a pretty good meal. My personal favorite brands are Optimum Nutrition and Dymatize however I usually just buy what's on sale and has a good reputation. I'd also like to put…

Meant 89 sorry...

8.9

I feel the same way sometimes. I ride 10 miles a day in about 1hr and runtastic gives me about 500 calories and that seems crazy to me. From what I have read the best way to get a good number is to use a heart rate monitor (and even those are just better at guessing). What I usually do it halve the number it gives me if…

Nope never!!

Well there's 2 of us... haha

Broil Chicken with any Mrs. Dash no salt seasoning, Make rice, cook broccoli or eat it raw.

I'm on a modified water diet right now actually. I eat a hell of a lot of food and then I drink some water. It's working pretty well. :wink:

2 eggs and a TON of bacon please... (with a slap on the butt) lol

Thumb war

That other thread was super helpful. Thanks!

THANK YOU! Ugh. I just realized I've been logging wrong for a few weeks. So frustrating.

When I do workouts like this I just log it as "calisthenics" and I only actually log like 10cal/minute if I feel like I busted my butt. In the end the HRM is the best/easiest way to measure calories burned.

Yes you need to lift! We all do! Lol. I don't have any weights at the moment either but I'm starting a body weight program on Monday. I found it on bodybuilding.com (which is a great resource btw). I can link you the program. Message me if you're interested in that.

I am not a pull-up pro. In fact I've never done one. But if I were to do a pull-up I would do it with the thumb under because that does seem more secure. I do know that if you do them with, what I'll call a "reverse grip" (your palms facing towards your body) you are able to use your biceps to assist in the lift. If it…

Totally agree with you. We are pretty strict about what our children eat. Making sure they eat a certain amount of bites of everything and a few extra of the good stuff. Lately I have really been watching my macros so I have been pretty good about also eating right. But my wife... I always catch her scooting her veggies…

I guess in the end it's a personal thing and whatever works the best is the best approach. But I do like the idea of at least setting it a few 100 below maintenance so you would have a cushion.

Hmm, great points that I hadn't thought about. I was also thinking it could be nice to have a range goal. Like, don't go under this but don't go over this.

It frustrates me that people only want to change their diets if it tastes good. You can eat food that doesn't taste great and lose weight, or you can keep eating junk food and die young and fat.

Jjennyb4 love the attitude in the pic

Melynda -- love the hair color and cute smile

Anything really. Just keep it lean! Lol :-*

C all the way! Except for my uniforms which I get free money for! lol
