No real motivation required. I am addicted... I love to workout. I think about my food choices but I don't worry about them as much because I know how much I do work out!

Why would anyone want to beat up someone for no reason?

Actually no; I don't even see this as a problem. By 1000 in the morning I have already eaten my third meal. Of course I try to do 6 or 7 smaller meals each day. But I eat before I leave for work 5 AM, I try to make this protein heavy. Then I will have a packet of oatmeal as one, and another meal of all fruits and veggies.…

Here is my experience with that. On the weekend I tend to sit on my butt a little more, college football, NFL, so when I do this I also tend to eat more because I have nothing better to do. So you need a plan. When you feel yourself going to get something and you don't really need it. AKA you are not really hungry you are…

Had no interest in eating when tripping on acid, now when smoking pot I ate many treats, but we did a lot of walking to get that next quarter bag...

I mix them. So my weight routines are often cardio routines as well. Now if you are talking about just riding a bike or jogging, yes I do that to. So ALL of the above....

OK, I keep seeing this string so I guess it means I am supposed to put something on here. 43 YO empty nester. I served 21 years in the Navy, retired and got fat. 5'8" 240 fat.. My chest hurt from driving, I couldn't tie my shoes without major stress to my lungs and I would sweat while eating. So decided to make a change…

Discouraging is the wrong way to look at it. How about accountability! That is why you log; not because the cool kids do it, or because you are trying to discourage yourself. You keep track for accountability. If you say I lost 2 lbs; why? your logs should show that. In the same way if you gain 2 your log should show you…

The whole premise of this discussion seems kind of off base. First, I have heard of such rumors. My OH told me she like me better as a Teddy Bear, but I don't understand that. I mean who really wants to be with a guy who has to have a majori breathing episode just to tie his shoes. Or a guys who works up a sweat eating. I…

I make up my own routines, but if you have ever heard of hollow man, give it a shot. Hold each progression for 60 seconds.

First, let me say congrats on the first 38. Then let me make a second comment. 247lbs; where! you really do not look like you weigh that much. For that number you carry it very well... Again congrats!!

I would actually like to try it. Because I don't tan. It is burn peel, burn peel, etc.

It really is not media hype. Actually the problem is the media has no real idea what is going on. They have no idea what many of us do, and they have no idea what the long term effect of this will be. Quit frankly, you may never notice anything in your life. But then again you might and not even now why it did happen. The…

I do not have a job right now; and I am sitting around arguing with people on twitter way to much!! I hate twitter..

This thread

You can also do inverted rows, pull-ups, or band pulldowns.

I don't smoke cigarettes, but I did chew Copenhagen for many years. Quit that Cold Turkey almost 2 months ago. Aug 7th to be exact. I don't really have cravings but I get this feeling like I am forgetting something every now and again. Those times are because of mental triggers that tell me to have the chew. So I just move…

Yes, I am inspired by everyone who comes to workout with me everyday. I beat the crap out of them with exercises that they swear come directly from hell. I have actually been called Satans Spawn.. But yet they always come back; and that inspires me.

Have a Harley Ultra Classic. Rode it to work today as a matter of fact...

Just ate a jar of it this morning..

Not everyone, specifically no one can generally go from doing nothing to doing exercise in 10 days. Repeat phase 1 until you can do the majority of it; then go to 2. There is nothing wrong with repeating phase 1.

^^^^^^That

Wish I had seen this thread earlier. While i have never been an avid cyclist; I have kind of taken it up over the last month. I do record all of my trips with Runtastic so there is a record of them. If there is another one in the future I will look at getting involved.

Absolutely nothing wrong with weighing your food.... BRAVO!! I would not pay attention to them; I know that is difficult, but you obviously know what you need to do to reach your goals... Good on you!

While I was in and I retired in 2008, they used the average circumference as the authoritative measurement system. Waist minus neck for men, and neck, waist, hip, for women. Dumb!! That is as accurate a measurement as BMI.

You are right, but the US Government is going to use it as a measure of health and fitness. This is where the problems come in. This isn't even bro-science, this is vodoo!

BMI is a generic measurement used to screw people over. Just wait people under the affordable care act (Obamacare); your health care premiums will be increased due to body Mass Index. That's right its coming. Now for what I think; according to BMI I am Obese; becasue I am 5'8" and weigh 205. However, I am what I would call…

Actaully, a bigger difference than I would have thought for 12lbs. Great Job and keep it up!!

Complete and total nonsense.. Exercise is exercis.. Whether you do it in the water or out the benefits are present. Swimming may actually provide more benefit because it forces you to engage many more muscle groups that say running or biking. Not to mention it is low impact...

Well I am 43 so I am guessing 44. Next year I am sure I will adjust up to 45...LOL
