One time fee? Monthly access? What are we talking about here? If they had started charging when I was in the middle of losing 45 lbs, yeah probably. If for no other reason than because it's what I started with. If they were not free before I started, probably yes still. I'd pay a one-time fee of $5 for MFP. I might even…

I grew up racing MX and Hare Scrambles at a regional level, and did it all the way into adulthood when I quit after a particularly bad accident after tangling with another rider in mid-air on an MX course. I personally wouldn't log it at all if you only rode an hour or two. If you were out the whole day, I'd just adjust my…

Hummus with bell pepper spears, cucumber, tomato, carrots, and some pita bread or chips. Since you have a fridge, grilled chicken strips too. Even good cold! Rice and beans with corn and salsa. great at room temp.

Those are parallel but independent goals. You can eat nothing but 'the healthiest' foods, and not lose weight. You can eat nothing but ice cream and bacon and twinkies and lose wieght but maybe not be as healthy. Calories out > calories in. period. that's all there is. I aim for 260g of carbs, 53g of fat, and 95g of…

Look at another ice drink that comes with whipped Cream, Like Iced Vanilla Spiced Latte. According to the menu drop-down, Whip adds 110 cals for the standard amount on a venti Iced drink. Extra whip would probably be in the range of 150-175 total I'd guess.

Unequivocally False. One among many studies: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24045919 Maybe. Maybe not. It's a pretty high rate, and you likely can't sustain that for as long as you'd like due to other physiological factors like fatigue of skeletal muscles, but you can't 'damage' your heart by working it hard.** It's…

I'm a little ashamed to admit this publicly, but in my 20's when my metabolism was a raging inferno, and I ran collegiate Cross Country and Track, my roommate and I agreed that we would see who could go the longest on a diet SOLELY consisting of Guinness and Bacon. I think we both regretted the decision by about the 6th…

Truth. If I had to hazard a guess at the why you crash, I'd say that your body is seeking sleep as a form of 'recovery and repair' following exercise. Repair muscle damage, metabolize energy more effeciently...etc. I won't hazard a guess as to why a College Professor presumably with a PhD is so blatantly stupid.

Hell Yeah. Scrambled Eggs and potatoes for dinner washed down with Irish Coffee (ok, coffee and whiskey). And leftover Pizza and sriracha for breakfast in the morning. maybe with beer. Breakfast Guinness is awesome! BooYah.

245 days in a row as of tomorrow. Every food, every meal.

Exercise calories earned at 9pm? I grab a snack after I'm done and eat back what I feel like. The rest die, lonely and abandoned like dust in the wind. Exercise calories earned before dinner? I eat back as many of those as I reasonably can without being ill. The rest die, just like above. I very very rarely 'rollover'…

For me, it's her mannerisms. She just seems so.....immature... like she's a young teen...I watched 13 going on 30 with my wife and I swear Jennifer Garner never got out character afterwards.

Use Google Earth or similar satellite map program to carefully plot the points around and make one lap. It may not come out to an exact round number, (e.g. 402m) but you can clearly tell that this would be a 400m track. Your track is almost certainly 400m around. 4 laps makes 1600m (essentially a mile) use a digital wrist…

I'm a returning student, I went to 2 years of a Junior College after HS (2000&2001) then joined the Army for 8 years. When I went back to school in 2009 I jumped into a Biology Major with a Physics minor to prep for Physical Therapy School. Carrying 18 units and letting a broken shoulder heal helped me gain 40 lbs over 3…

I use this: https://www.perfectonline.com/product/specs/multigym It has 5 positions for variable thicknesses of walls. I actually bought it because the way it's built allows for wide-grip pullups, but have found that I really like it having all the hand positions. Plus I can put it on the ground and get some 'sorta-kinda'…

I don't really know what to say other than 'You look fantastic'. Seriously. You're beautiful. That's one Hell of a story and you should be damned proud that you picked yourself up and didn't quit.

Yeah, Likely by a fair bit. GPS's can't handle small circles. Also, running in the outerlane will add about 10m to each lap, so you actually finished at 10K around 1/3 of the way around lap 23.

Track should be faster. it was designed for running. Running in a circle is a mind game. Keep at it and you'll get faster. The fastest road mile I've run in the last year was a 5:49...on a track I ran a 5:28 1600m (30ft short of a mile.)

That 220-age formula is garbage. It's decades old, and was derived from a small group of fit males in their teens to 30's. It has poor (at best) correlation to the general population. Clearly you're no stranger to cardio, and you have a HRM... why not just crank the elliptical up and see where you peak out. It'd take you…

Probably not. Male ego and adrenalization are not to be underestimated. It's certain you lost *some* muscle, but not that much. You just weren't fired up at the gym because your bro wasn't watching, waiting for the opportunity to call you a p***y. Lifting gains are 90% neuromuscular facilitation in the beginning. You have…

I read both the WSJ and the Remy's World translation. Living in Colorado where every 4th car has one of the stupid 26.2/13.1/TRI stickers, I totally agree with the WSJ author. I think he went a little overboard with the rant over running stores and clothes and magazines, but the stickers, yeah, I'm with him. Edit: "The…

You literally cannot explain the sheer joy you feel as a parent when coming home after a long $hitty day and the minute you walk in the door your 2 year-old Screams "DADDY! (or MOMMY!) and runs full speed across the room to throw themselves at you in a big hug. My wife and I tag-teamed a soul-crushingly long 9 months of a…

We have close to the same stats. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs, I'm a Graduate student so I'm fairly sedentary as well. A few days I might be 'lightly active'. I don't walk everyday, but I do run about 6 hours a week (4-5 runs) When I moved to maintenance about 6 weeks ago I set MFP at maintain weight (1970 kcal) then took 150…

Oh. My. God. I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow! Now, where's my currant preserves?!

Is your post-op knee the sore part, or just general muscle soreness?

It seems like people are missing the point of the statement. Look at it like this: You're on a 2000 cal plan, you eat 2158 calories one day....that statements gives you an idea what your journey **COULD** look like if you ate 2158 calories every day....Hmmm...do YOU want to do that math every night? 160 calories, times 7…

It tough to explain a feeling to anyone. Especially if it 'takes a while to feel it' yourself. I *LOVE* to run, but quite honestly, The first mile or three is almost always miserable for me. I either go out at the pace I want to hold for the whole run, and suffer, or I go out all comfy-like and deride my self for running…

Totally. I can see this being just as mentally demanding as getting up at 0300 (on about 4 hours of sleep) and marching 10 miles to the firing range with a 40lb rucksack, spending all day qualifying with different weapons and drilling tactics, then marching 10 miles home. Oh, wait..:huh:

When I was in the military I ate approximately the same amount of calories for breakfast as that diet suggests for a whole day. Immediately afterwards I walked my *kitten* to the motorpool/CONEX yard and proceeded to do 6-8 hours of manual labor moving boxes of medical equipment and supplies and performing maintenance on…

This would have been everything I could have asked for a year ago when I started doing this. It would have made losing 45 lbs so much easier, instead, I just just my calories down hard and sucked it up until my weight dropped enough that I wasn't undereating anymore. Having an accurate calorie count would have been so much…
