  • You need to rest at least one day a week! I've been going to the gym regularly for over 2yrs. Since I didn't diet (or watch what I ate) and only took protein shakes after a strength work out, I haven't lost I've actually gained weight (muscle weighs more than fat so I'm told). I can bench 245 6-8 times, I curl 50lb…
    in 2 weeks in & feeling discouraged! Comment by deslok113 October 2013
  • Hmm! I wonder how much walking I actually do when I play disc golf?! The park that I go to has a 9 hole course. There is another one that has 18 holes in town so maybe I should try to calculate it! The good thing about disc golf is that you are also bending and throwing (driving). I'm just restarting MFP so I'll stay with…
    in Beginners challenge... 50 miles is October Comment by deslok113 October 2013
  • What are you doing in those 1-1.5 hrs? Are you doing all cardio? Or all strength training? If you want to lose weight do interval cardio for 20 min. you don't need more than that: min 1 slow pace; min 2 slow pace; min 3 med pace, min 4 slightly higher pace; min 5; even more; min 6 -- ALL YOU CAN for one min; min 7; med…

  • I'm over weight and I've been working out for years! I think it's funny when those bean poles come into the gym and see me curling 50lb dumbells, benching 225 6-8 times, doing 200+lb ab presses and 170lb pull downs; 315lb squats; 400 lb leg presses; 120lb hamstring presses and EVEN 25min 3.5mph brisk walks for cardio. So…
    in Why are overweight / obese people reluctant to exercise? Comment by deslok113 October 2013
  • I'm in the same boat as you! I started on MFP and then got off several times. Now my weight is affecting my health. Don't be like me! I have not stopped working out these past yrs but working out by itself is NOT enough. There's an old aphorism that says, "Garbage in = garbage out" If I put garbage in my body like…
    in Starting MFP Again Comment by deslok113 October 2013
  • I know how you feel. I've been working out religiously for years. But I stopped watching what I ate. Since I'm in process of a divorce, I started going out and drinking again. I got a surprise from my doctor. I have A-fib! (YAY! Just what I need!) My BP is borderline hypertension. I'm 44yrs old and I'm a cardiac patient! I…

  • I think I'll write a .net program that will remind me to log my food intake into MFP! I'll make it do pop ups, and send an email to my iPhone! Now if I could write one that would knock me upside the head when I eat too much, or drink too much that'd be really COOL! LOL:bigsmile:
    in I'm BAAAAAACK!! Comment by deslok113 September 2013
  • Good luck to you! I'm coming back to myFitnessPall too. I've been working out at least 3-4 days a week for a few years. I stopped caring about what I ate and I've gained weight! I had the gym fitness expert do a BMI on me and I've gained some fat and some muscle. Remember muscle weighs moire than fat, right? So I'm up to…
