you are not alone just starting myself! its amazing how comfortable you get family and life. you just do not realize the amount you can put on

I have a pet beaver but its lactose intolerant!

always like pie with your milkshake? lol

this just made my day! f*@#$!g hilarious! If you like milkshakes with out calories god bless ya!

hey I like a brew myself. Keep it within your calorie count and you should be fine. No Guilt you still have enjoy life ya know. Workout an extra hour or so that week you do have a beer.

GOOD BALANCE IS BEST APPROACH. Ido my strength training for about 60 minutes then do my cardio afterward. Reason is they say doing strength training firstboosts your metabolism turn burn fat when doing cardio. Also cardio first would make it so you do not reach full potential for lifting weights.

so my answer NO log it in it helps!

try not too only lying to yourself in the end. If you choose the right food you feel full. And you can cheat but right it down just to see what you can maybe cut out what you wont notice. Shaving 50 cals here or 100 there can add up. Watch the condiments and sauces they are killers.

Oh yeah mondays stink!

ummm..... show ya face

welcome! this is actually addictive enjoy and lose!

thanks back to the grinding stone!

I really do look forward to it. So does the family. But the guilt kills me while I do it.

also I am a nurse and a carb is carb no matter the definition of simpl or complex. The whole grain tends to make you feel fuller thus you hopefully eat less. It all turns to the evil sugar which is slowly killing our nation. I have lowered my A1C substantially by just eating whole grain carbs thru out the day in small…

I guess we will see in a few weeks!

wondering that myself. I do 60 minutes of continous hi rep lifting with little rest between sets. my heart increases. I break a sweat. but no calorie input into my goals. there must be a way to figure it out!

thanks for the sight!

they have me at 1890 cals a day

thanks! :smile:

I do the same with the veggies, steamed. OMG! That menu is incredible sounds great. hard to believe you can eat that and still lose. I can tell you never get bored with your food choices.

you"ve got to change it up a bit! your body gets accustomed to work outs then plateau's

agreed 100%

I am a surgical nurse who specialized in Laparoscopic bariatric procedures. Yes it is a quick fix. People must remember though that the weight can be put right back on unless persistent with exercise and watching there caloric intake. The pouch which is made can be stretched out in time if the person consistently eats to…

Thanks for the tip. Just got turned onto this by a co worker. working out the kinks. And yes it is well earned I am breaking a sweat so I know its getting my metabolic rate up. They say lifting before doing cardio actually increases your weight loss. We will see....

Olympic set is way to go, I love mine. My bench is versatile so Ican do shoulder presses along with incline and decline bench press. I also love the solid hex dumbells I bought. They did cost a pretty penny though. I just do not understand why no calories are calculated into the food diary for lifting. I lift for about 60…
