Will do Sara, I promise I'll be a good boy and stick to the 7 hours! *crosses fingers behind his back* EDIT: I just rechecked the numbers, counting from last Tuesday until Monday (the day before I post my update, aka last cardio session) and it's actually only 6 hours of pure cardio last week. Should I do only the 6 hours…

I logged 11 hours of exercise last week. I think it's safe to say that my weight training usually takes me about 1 hour 4x/week, which would mean 7 hours of cardio for the week.

Weight June 25, 2013: 95.8 kg (211.2 lbs) Weight July 2, 2013: 96.3 kg (212.3 lbs) BOOOOOOO. Ok, just kidding. A little. I'm thinking that after I got to work today my weight went back down to 95.8 - don't ask how, really. I love you. No, really. It's 5 am. 'Nuf said ;) It was a good week for the most part - I ate my 1900…

Thanks guys :) - posted my DL http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/911984-form-critique-thread-post-your-videos-here Getting great feedback, even though there's a million things I'm doing wrong lol - but it's a learning process ;)

AWESOME response with great details that make sense! And the vids you posted are something that I wish I had found at the beginning - the guys do a great job of explaining and demonstrating, and I think I've finally understood it - can't wait to try ;) I'll start working on the setup then we'll see what happens with the…

Ok - FINALLY gathered the courage... so here goes ;) Put up today's 100 kg (220.5 lbs) DL for critique. It's my fifth set, so be gentle lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMymfFCcqsM

VegasBaby you're awesome! Thanks for the great words or encouragement - I thought of you before my lift today and it gave me the courage to film it, so gonna put it up for critique - THANKS :)

Will do. Just wanted to say thanks again for this - Seriously, I have a four page thread devoted to ME - how lucky can a guy get? :D

Yeah I had some great experiences with Airbnb while in Germany and Holland - I'm always nervous about the differences between the lovely pics and reality ;) Gonna check out couchsurfing though - looks interesting!

Weight June 18, 2013: 96.8 kg (213.4 lbs) Weight June 25, 2013: 95.8 kg (211.2 lbs) Not seen on the pic (it's under the waistband ;) ), tummy skin is definitely getting wrinkly. I guess that means I'm losing the fat from the right PLACE. Trying not to get too worried about it, even though it probably means I'll never get…

Ok, not my official weigh-in day, but it's been a month since I got my BF measured and I got curious - here's a comparison May 21 Weight: 100.5 kg (at 4 pm) BMI: 28.1 Fat %: 19.8% Fat mass: 19.9 kg Lean mass: 80.6 kg Total body water: 59.0 kg June 20 Weight: 96.8 kg (at 5 pm) (-3.7) BMI: 27.1 (-1.0) Fat %: 16.7 % (-3.1%)…

Hmm, Kenyan?

I HAVE to tag this just in case mingey posts more - I'm peeing myself laughing here!!!

1. Might take awhile ;) 2. Cinderfella *giggle*

Gotcha. And THAT will help me also later on, when I get rid of the BF and want to start putting on muscle, I'm hoping (I asked Santa for a set of pecs for Christmas) ;) The strength training (along with adequate protein intake) will help preserve lean body mass, of which muscle is a component, while you lose fat. You'll…

Just as a reference here's the thread that got me worried: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1016062-calorie-deficit-no-muscle-mass-gain-so-why-am-i-stronger?hl=deficit

Colour me comforted - thanks Sara :)

Tell me about it! For so long it's been about the scale. Now... well here's what happened: I read another thread on MFP about how it's IMPOSSIBLE to get stronger lifting while on a deficit. Which means... well it just got really confusing. If I'm not focusing on the weight, and I CAN'T get stronger, wtf am I supposed to be…

Will do, starting today. Like I said, I trust you so I don't mind the adjustments. I'm just hoping for 1. finally getting rid of the muffin top (is it too much to hope for at LEAST 4-pack abs????) and 2. a good transition over into maintenance mode someday, so I can incorporate everything I've learned into a daily routine.…

Weight June 11, 2013: 98.5 kg (217.15 lbs) Weight June 18, 2013: 96.8 kg (213.4 lbs) Not sure if I see so much of a change this week??? Been on 1600 calories all week, lifting more and more, but still no bodybuilder ;) - squats 90 kg, deadlift 110 kg, bench press 70 kg, just to give an idea. I lift 4 days a week, still on…

tagging (AND working up the guts to post my vids :p )

MUCH happier being the irish gangster than the tough female cop ;) shilohzdad you're the mild mannered accountant who happens to have a secret... fighting crime at night!

Lara Croft :)

24?

Nope - but you DID just prove that my weight loss has taken years off my looks - thanks :)

I THOUGHT I had this problem, but in the end it's going to be alright. What happened was, that I had refused myself HEALTHY foods that had higher calories. Now that I have to eat more, I'm adding more almonds, coconut milk (low fat), chick peas, lentils and such to my diet, and voilà - I get the calories, but in a good…

So If I guess 40, then I win, right? :D

Place St Michel late evening, just to hang out. You got everything there, view of Notre Dame and the Seine, street performers, and some really great small restaurants in the latin quarter... I head straight there every time I'm in Paris.

Well, I've only sent ONE friend request (my other friends sent them to me) because I'm a bit shy, but I sent it because I found the person to be inspiring and a hard worker. I need people that will kick me in the pants ;)

In the TMI department, I LOVE being able to wash my butt in the shower without throwing out my back or dislocating my shoulder. Just sayin' ;)
