QFT. I responded about SS on the thread. Fractional plates help, but sometimes you just can't go up in weight from one workout to the next. I had to reboot and re-read a couple of times before I realized that "+5 pounds a workout" was the prescription for male teenage athletes. If you can't do it at the increased weight…

The sheet you included is a single workout. The idea is that you warm up before doing your work sets. You do a few sets with the empty bar, then add some weight and do another set, then add some weight again and do another set, and then you do your three work sets. Deadlift is the exception; you do just one work set of…

Those abs... That smile... That attitude...

Erm, maybe at Rummikub...

Welcome. :flowerforyou: It sounds like you might prefer the TDEE method of setting calorie targets. You'll find information on that and other useful topics in this post and the links it offers. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

I think you got the important part of the message. :laugh:

I like you. :flowerforyou: Don't know about the Mayo Clinic advice, but I'd be a bit worried about doing compound lifts without using the Valsalva maneuver.

I'm loving my 40s... I feel like I'm finally getting my act together. :bigsmile:

Mine shares space with a row of gorilla shelves in a spare room off the garage. It's tight, but functional.

My top two breakfast meals... Calories variable depending on portion sizes, 1. Ham (or turkey), cheese, and crackers. With some apple slices if I want the fiber. 2. Veggie scramble. Nuke a bag of frozen vegetables for 3 minutes. Brown them in a skillet with about a teaspoon each of olive oil and butter. Add one or two…

Wins the Internet, fo sho.

FIFY.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Awesome valentines are awesome. Saving image! :love:

Sadly, married... to a guy....

Hmmmmm... So is that what they mean by kipping?

Well, now you've done it. You spot gained. Everybody knows you can't spot reduce, so you're stuck with those great big thighs forever. Your only hope now is to wrap your thighs in seaweed and cellophane, and take the elevator for the rest of your life. Even if you do manage to get rid of those bulky muscles, if you ever…

Are you looking for something more complicated than logging both workouts as cardio activities?

This. It's probably your dinner sitting around in your intestines. ETA: Oh, wait - you weighed yourself after breakfast, so it's your breakfast. It doesn't go through you that quick.

I do my best to count it all up, even if it's just guesswork.

:drinker:

You need iOS 6 or higher to sync with any BLE (Bluetooth low energy) device. BLE devices don't show up in your Bluetooth menu. I don't believe the iPhone 4 is compatible. See http://www.fitbit.com/devices

I accidentally put my Fitbit One in with the laundry a few days ago. Realized my mistake about 5 minutes into the wash cycle, raced to the machine and fished it out, praying. It was squeaky clean, freshly scented, and beaming with an LED greeting. It's still working perfectly.

Whoa. A brand new MFP poster actually pushing something sensible, not a crazy fad diet or "cleanse?" It's finally happened... I've slipped and fallen into that alternate universe. OP: Good on ya. :flowerforyou:

Haven't had any of those symptoms from Diet Coke; in fact, it used to help my child-induced (fatigue) headaches. I must be a special snowflake. :flowerforyou: edit: damned iPad autocorrect

In. I walk a lot already, but I want to run more. 30 miles, only running counts.

Agree 100%. I'm not that far from 50, and I get some elevator eyes and hard stares from guys my kid's age (and from the older ones too). Maybe they watch too much "Desperate Housewives" or something. :ohwell:

I LOVE apple cider vinegar... in a barbecue. Throw in some molasses, a smidge of maple syrup, and a generous shake of Bone Suckin' Rib Rub... who needs store-bought sauce? NOM. Drink the stuff? Yeah, no, not me. When I need energy in the morning, I get it from a high-protein breakfast and my caffeinated beverage of choice.

Whey protein. Did you just add it, increase it, or maybe switch brands? No lactose intolerance in my household, but any time we add a lot of dairy around here, it's like WHOA don't light a match or we're all gonna die.

I had to acquire the taste myself. But I'll order iced tea in a Pepsi shop... Or smuggle in my own Diet Coke. :devil:
