Feel free to add me too.

Adding everyone that I could. Thanks for the post bicepboy.

Added the folks who posted [edited by mods]. Thanks

Add me. I also have Fitbit.

Day 1 for me done today as well. For adding it to MFP I just created a custom exercise called T25 and set it to 200cal and 25 min.

Congrats ... great progress.

Best of luck on your journey ... feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me, hopefully I can help.

Request sent. ..hope I can help.

Biggest help for me was (and is) measuring my food and logging everything as I eat it on here. When I log as the day progresses it keeps me in check, on the days when I can't log as I eat ... I log at night and its usually a shock as to how much I ate that day. I am not nearly as good at estimating as I thought.

Request sent ... welcome to MFP.

Welcome to MFP

Recipes look great .. can't wait to try some. Thanks

I too can pass on the sweets with ease .. but not that chip bowl.

I bought a cage, about 300 lbs in Olympic weights, barbell, and adjustable bench when I first stared out. It was way less than $1000 and its amazing how many exercises you can do including all the big compound ones. I think its a great starting point for any home gym.

How about smoothies? This morning for me was pineapple/blueberry/spinach smoothie and it tasted great. First time I had tried it. You can find lots of smoothie ideas on here.

Congrats .. proof that hard work pays off!!!!

Welcome back and good luck

I lift barefoot as well.

Thanks for the great ideas.

This sounds about right to me.

I make my own pork sausage. Did about 150lbs last run. Its not lean, but I don't think its near 70/30. We love them ..make them twice a year. Its really not that much work either .. it turns out to be a family job.

I eat between 400-600 cals each morning for breakfast ... bacon and eggs or oatmeal. On a regular work day I am swamped at work and find it hard to work in a good lunch. This keeps me satisfied until mid afternoon on most days. This habit seems to serve me well Mon-Fri.

saving for later .. and a bump for those that have not seen it .. great post!

I don't have any pics either, sorry .. but made the same move as you to a basement gym to save me some time. All I have bought so far is a squat rack, barbell, 285lbs of weight, adjustable bench, 5 horse stall mats (1 inch thick rubber to protect my floor). This allows me to do all the major lifts (deads, squats, bench,…

great site ... thank you

thanks for that list. that should keep me trying new ones for a while.
