Just in case you didn't get your answer...Yes

Yea, I tried to follow that train of thought before, actually last weekend. I decided to see how far I could push in a single day. Did a 12 mile bike ride, followed by an hour of kickboxing, followed by and hour of kayaking, and finishing up with 7 mile run and 1.5 mile walk. I would think this amount of exercise would not…

You have lost it for thinking about going!! Daughters are no excuse here!

I don't know who this Layne Norton is, but here is what I would say. Carbs around workouts, hmmm.. Yes simple carbs around a workout can increase your glycogen stores during a hard routine and keep you from bonking. But eating complex carbs right before a workout is going to do nothing, they have to be processed by the…

I am going to offer no opinion on amount of protein, because that always depends on who you ask, and their opinion generally depends on their desired end state; not yours. What I will say however is that for muscle repair the optimum time to introduce protein is within 1 hour of working out. That is according to almost…

It's all a guess no matter how you shake it up. Quite frankly, there is no definative amount of calories a person burns for a specific activity. My goal is to have a deficit of 3500 calories per week. One week that may = .8lbs lost, another it may be 1.3. It gets me in the ball park and t hat is good enough. If you try to…

Anything I eat after 9PM. By then I intend to be asleep and when I am it is no problem. If I can't fall asleep I munch...

Much like exercise; if you don't write it down, how do you know what you did? If you don't know what you did; how do you improve upon what you did? This has to be a lifestyle change; most people can't make that change without actually seeing on paper or computer log in this case, exactly what is what. Even in the long…

KISS, Keep it Simple St##@$$, calories in, calories out. I would suggest that perhaps you are getting more credit than necessary for your eliptical training. As far as I went back that is all you do. As with anything your body will adapt and become more efficient. You need to shake up your exercise routine. Your calories…

I am sure this will be said a million times. The inches are what counts; not the scale. The scale is only a number that means litterally nothing. Now with that said; here is what I do know about this. For women specifically who start with no or little lean muscle. "You will always lose inches first". The weight will come…

In your case you have a routine which probably does not vary much. In that case your body has probably already adapted to that level and those specific items. At this point it is probably no different than getting out of bed and walking out of your bedroom. It just is..

The food blows, its all about the boobs.. Don't let any guy tell you differently. If they dressed people like that at McDonalds; the obesity epidemic in this country would only effect men with a few exceptions...

Any Exercise is good exercise. When people talk about going in the morning it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. In the morning you need to remember that your body has a certain amount of glycogen to expend. If that glycogen store gets expended during the night repairing hurt muscle from previous exercise;…

Not that I am against this, because you should most definately persue what makes you happy. With that said; I would highly recommend you try a rugged maniac or spartan 5K before doing a 12 mile mud race. They are both fun; but the 5K is pretty challenging. The 12 mile (Tough Mudder) is a fricking bear!! Just coming back to…

Great job Ken! Also a great idea for the video. Not sure about the united snakes of america, but the Bruce Lee quotes were on point!!
-
I was wondering the same thing; so I have gone back and forth with several things to try and figure out exactly what was causing it. Turns out for me it was not the fruits and veggies; it is the dairy. I can eat practically anything without gas as long as I leave the greek yogurt alone...

I know you have heard it all by now; but wow what an accomplishment. I am not sure if 300 in 13 months is a record; but the folks on biggest loser usually go about half of that for a season. Have you been approached for the story, by any of these big weight loss outfits? You may have posted that somewhere, but I tried…

Why? What did Miley Cyrus do? Just making the point; who cares! From the video I have seen, perhaps she needs to join a squat challenge and work on the back side. For a 20 year old it should not be that flabby....
-
Really.....????? Of course you can lose weight without exercise; if you want to remain flabby. I think if you gave exercise a try, and that means more than once. you might actually find it quite enjoyable. By the way exercise does not have to be things you don't enjoy. Pick something you like and start there. Biking,…

Great Job, absolutely amazing.

I don't track like that; I track by windows. My morning window is 6AM - 10AM. Within this time frame I usually eat breakfast and a snack. Plus my pre-workout drink. Usually around 700 calories.

That has to be a mis-statement, there is no way someone weighing 115 would get 1880 without exercise calculated in there. I get barely over 1880 without exercise and I am over 200lbs.

Does it really matter what other people's reasons are. No matter how you chose to look at it; it is completely up to you. You are going to have to decide what is important to you and grab hold of it. Then you also have to consider that it changes. I started off just wanting to be able to tie my shoes without running out of…

The majority of these products are nothing more than a bunch of vodoo crap with some caffiene. You could get the same results by drinking 2 cups of coffee an hour before you work out. There are several things that could be said about this and I am sure there are some die hards that would love to argue the point. But there…
-
Yea, these caluclators are really guesses at best. You need to explore and find out what you need. I could go through all of the math for how I calculate mine but; when it comes down to it, yours is likely not going to follow the same thing. But I do know that by calculating my actual needs (real or not) then actually…

I would not waste a bunch of money; everything you need to do can be done with just a couple free weights a kettle bell, and the rest will be your own body weight. With 3 sets of DB's 1 KB and your body weight you can do hundreds of exercises that will tear you up...
-
I would suggest that you think you are burning more than you are. You are also likely eating them all back and not leaving room for the deficit. It could also be that you are building lean muscle mass, but that is counterindicated by the fact that you have no lost inches. I would definately find a way to see exactly how…

Great job; in only 8 months you are doing great keep it going!
