  • Any synonym you pick will mean the same thing; so changing it is pointless.
  • Ugh, I had a huge rant, but decided to delete it and simpy say. A guy, who knows how to program javascript made this website. Not a personal trainer, doctor, or nutritionist. "Science and smart stuff"...yeah, I don't think so. I've actually researched and talked to doctors. If you're depending on the poor macros of this…
  • "My mind's telling me no, But my body, my body's telling me yes " ..cough...sorry. Your mind will always make a million excuses, everyday, every workout, every meal. Your mind will make up some crap. This is because of the stories we tell ourselves. We tell ourselves something isn't going to be good, we tell ourselves…
  • Honestly the macros on this site are so broken that you shouldn't really care about them. Do research on your own, find out information that is more closely aligned to your actual body and your actual goals; and then goto your settings and pick your own macros. (As many have noticed it's virtually impossible to meet the…
    in HELP!!! Comment by syntaxxor March 2013
  • Hi, from south Texas.
  • I'd want to get rid of the "You've earned calories" bs whenever you log exercise. It's like trying to say you get to reward yourself with food, for working out. Which is counter-productive IMO.
  • You're retaining water. To gain two lbs you'd have to eat quite a large amount. Whatever sickness you have may be causing the retention; or whatever you're taking to fix it could be causing it.
  • A slow, drawn out process that requires A LOT of patience. Well worth it if you're going strictly for physique and not just packing on muscle mass.
  • You have fat EVERYWHERE. Inside, outside, under things, over things. It's everywhere; so sometimes you'll see the scale move, but won't see a change in your body. (Or notice it anyway).
  • I was aiming to from over 300lbs down to 165lbs. However over 120lbs later, I'm switching gears and focusing more on body recomposition for muscularity. Remember to start your plan and to stick to it! Don't fret the little things.
  • Some people say do it daily for trends. I do it once a a week, in the morning after my morning potty on the same day.
  • Congrats for starting your journey!
  • Cardio drops weight. Weight Training drops fat. You should honestly be doing a combination of the two no matter what. Whether you're hardcore with weight lifting and going light on cardio; or you keep a 50/50 of the two. (Obviously both have other effects on the body that are both good and bad, but we're speaking…
  • Every few days, and it tends to be "deer" poop. I figured something was wrong with my fiber levels; so I started eating Fiber One for breakfast every morning, 2 servings (1cup) = 24grams of fiber in the morning. No real change in my movements after a week; so I guess everything is as normal as it's going to be for me.
  • Lifting weights will burn the fat you want to burn man. You don't need to lose weight, you need to burn fat. Find a good lifting program, stick to your calories; and you'll see the results you want.
  • Those people don't matter, so who cares. Haters gonna hate, you should be proud that you're gaining haters from your hard work. Make it your goal to get twenty more of them. Wear your weight loss on your chest like a badge. (Don't brag or be an *kitten* about it, but don't feel you have to hide anything).
  • Yes, it's possible; I lost more in the same amount of time. But you can't cheat, and can't make excuses. The only person who can make it happen is you.
  • Your trainer wants you eating 20 of healthy fat. That macro isn't set with a limit for bad/good fat, it's just plain fat. Olive oil is quite possibly the highest calories against size ratio in the entire list of things you could possibly eat. Which actually makes it quite dangerous for your diet. (What I mean is such a…
  • You should eat food, it's yummy. You should work on figuring your BMR and TDEE and all that stuff. I always suggest lean meat and veggies. I personally don't like super long work out times like what you're saying. Are you doing cardio and weight training or just cardio? If it's just cardio, try to look into interval…
  • Being slim and fit is a lifestyle, not something you simply stop doing. If you're eating a certain way and working out; obviously you've been able to do it this long, why not KEEP doing it? You could obviously switch up your work out routines to something more casual, but you should really never stop.
  • Heavy is relative to the person lifting the weight. I've never really liked the ratio between men and women though. When a guy is lifting X weight and a girl comes along and calls him weak and then lifts an X variable that in "ratio" from men to women is technically heavier for her; and acts proudly about it. That sounds…
  • http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Fill it in accurately and you'll get a nice medley of information. I thought MFP does the calculation for you as well, if you just select your goal to maintain. My Home > Goals >Change Goals.
  • Peanut butter is a healthy fat. All things in too high of a quantity are bad for you, as such, enjoy peanut butter in moderation.
  • None of them. All calculators you find online are estimates. Our guesses at the one pound marker are estimates. The best you can hope for is one that a lot of people like and use it as a benchmark. Scooby is pretty well known and used by many: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/
  • I eat a banana for first break snack, and then my powerbar for my lunch. (Unfortunately today it's also my dinner)
  • I always wanted to try the post-poop thing.
  • Overtraining, you won't get stronger doing that. Just because you don't feel sore, doesn't mean it's time to go again man. You stop getting DOMs after your first week of lifting, that doesn't mean you want to do the same thing everything day.
  • Remind him: "Happy wife, happy life"
  • No, you won't gain huge leg muscles from riding your bike. You will definitely get more defined calves and your upper thigh will show some lines from the muscle; but that will mainly be from the fat melting off. (No it won't spot reduce). Unless you actually do progressive overloading on your muscles (heavier weight) you…
  • Depends on your goal. Head over to bodybuilding.com and you can either look through the forums or look into the actual workout section. They have many MANY programs you can pick from depending on your goal and most good ones give you a spot to print it out.
