The month of June I changed workout programs. At the end of the month I got on the scale and took measurements. I gained 6 pounds but lost 2.5 inches. I will always take the inch loss of weight.

Fat is fat is fat. Unfortunately if you have belly fat like me and that is the last place you lose it you just have to be patient and do what you are doing. Exercise really is the best for this final mile. The more lean muscle mass you have the more fat your body can burn. Be patient and stick to it; it will happen!

I have found that the MFP calorie adjustments are greatly over inflated. If you eat all of them back you will put on weight.

Weighing everyday is not a bad thing if you don't have a mental disorder. If you don't find yourself questioning every little weight fluctuation then go for it. If you are someone who freaks out because your weight goes up 1 pound then don't. Some people just don't grasp the concept of water retention, poo cycles, etc...

Quite frankly, there is nothing you can do to replace striking. When I travel I tend to take my Jump Rope, and a set of gloves. I also work a lot on perfecting movements in my katas. While it is not ideal; I can accomplish quite a bit just by practicing and thinking of bunkia for the kata movements.

I agree; to many people watch TV shows like biggest loser and extreme weight loss and think they can do that. You need to remember those people's caloric intake is managed by professionals and they workout like 4 hours a day. Bump your workouts to 45 minutes instead of 30 and you might pick up another 1/2 lb a week. Other…

Well that didn't take long!! Welcome to MFP Penny!

I went to the vivoactive; I got tired of everything being reported as walking 2.0. At least with the vivoactive it has many built in programs such as running, walking, biking, swimming, and you can also download additional apps for things like hiking, soccer, tennis, football, basketball, etc, etc.. In many of those cases…

Great transformation, and that picture holding the pants is truly impressive!! Hero award for you ma'am!!

$0, everything.... My work has a full gym as part of the health and wellness program.

My wife bought the package. I don't really care for the meal plan; I suppose it could work for some. But what I will say is the workouts are legit. I train a large group and I am not ashamed to admit that I stole a few of her moves. I do like how she incorporates timing into the workout. As a beginner the 30 second rest…

I have the Vivoactive; love it.... Keeps track of so much you can't help but be successful.

Muscle Pharm Combat Powder is awesome. By the way; when can mix the vanilla in plain I prefer Fage Total 0 greek yogurt and add a little bit of frozen fruit and perfect. Most other powders turn it to paste...

Can't believe how easy it is to eat 4 blueberry muffins!

Tofu is terrible; and should be illegal!

Do what is right for you! If you are not enjoying it; how could anyone possibly expect you to do it? Working out is not just about losing weight. It is about finding something you enjoy so you can be healthy for your whole life not just until you lose that 15 lbs or whatever the goal is. Just remember this is for you not…

This is on point... I sometimes will go light and focus at 20-25 reps, then other days med weight with 15 reps, and even some days I go heavy for 2-5 reps. The point is you can always vary it with different rep/weight intervals. For weight loss you can also add a cardio set between each weight lifting set. That will…

I think this proves a point; first you should not have asked a question. It is apparent that you do not really want to hear from people with opinions different than yours. You can't ask for an opinion then tell someone their personal experience is irrelevant. If I did not have personal experience what the hell would I base…

That does not change my answer. I have done a clean diet and I have done a somewhat clean diet with some level of crap. I can state without repudiation that I cannot workout with the same intensity and focus when there is crap even in smallish quantities. I am not saying that is bad or good; because I certainly enjoy my…

No person A will lose more weight ***Period*** What everyone fails to take into consideration is that person A who eats a balanced diet and probably has slow releasing complex carbs in their diet will be able to expend more energy than person B eating donuts. While person B will have a burst of energy up front that will be…

No such thing as a miracle cure. Eating properly and exercising is the only way to do it.

I have the Garmin Vivoactive and it can be used in pool or open water. Some users have been able to use the GPS function in open water.

I think they call that a lunk alert at Planet Fitness...LOL

Cleveland baby, and as an earlier posted said; no I am not happy James came back. However, seeing how we have never won a championship; I would be more than happy to see that happen even if we do have a dick on the team!

The one that motivates you to get off your butt. It does not have to start as a plan, go roller blading, ride a bike, do anything just get active. The key is to find things you enjoy, those are the best programs.

Tried to camo into the wall...LOL

Here is another idea you may or may not have tried. Walk around on your heels with toes pointing up as far as possible. This does a couple things for you, it stretches the calves but it also strengthens the muscles on the front fo the shin bones. Everytime I have ever gotten shin splints I did this for about 5-10 mins a…
