No doubt you've added decades to your life expectancy. Super job and good luck adapting to "normalcy" with your diet.

I would actually say it's more important to lift while losing than after, to avoid muscle loss. Personally I wouldn't want to lose a lot of weight, including muscle, just to try to gain the muscle all over again. To use an example, I wouldn't want to lose 20 pounds, 5 being muscle, then try to gain 5 pounds of muscle when…

As a genuine turophile, I have to say there is no substitute for cheese.

Outstanding work! That's how you do it.

This talk of 80s workout fashion reminds me of one of the great mysteries: how do women keep their legs from getting cold now that leg warmers are out of style?

One word: wow!

2013 was a heckuva year for you. Serious congrats.

I add a serving (3 tbsp) of egg whites to an egg each and every day.

I have to say I would recommend not updating this app at this time. This failure to read in prior workouts even goes so far as to include your current workout if you switch apps. I tend to open a browser to warmupreps.com when I do my warmup sets. When I go back to the SL app, my current session is gone. Maybe that's a…

Reclaiming your health is just the best thing a person can do for themselves. Congrats sir, I send much respect up to the North Shore to you.

If drinking coffee is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Great presentation, great results!

Kids, starvation mode is real and it is white. A pretty lady on the news show told me so.

It's here! Just downloaded it, but haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works, but I did test changing weights and that seems to work.

Just mentioning these that i don't think were mentioned yet. "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" is infinitely better than "Star Trek: The Motion Picture". In general you can follow the rule: Star Trek(even number) > Star Trek(even number - 1) Superman II

Excellent! Getting better health is indeed what this is all about.

I'm so moved by the responses you folks have given, and I'm a cynical old fart that's not prone to being moved. I thank you each and every one. Here are some specific answers and responses: To wittman01 To some degree, I'd say though, that micro goals keep me more on track. Every day, every meal, every snack, every workout…

If you can get a reliable body fat measurement done now, I think you'd be glad you did. If for nothing else to get an accurate accounting of your lean mass. Absent that, I'd assume you were in the 200-220 pound range for lean weight and I'd target at least 200 grams of protein per day. That's a lot given the big deficit…

Retirement. I'm buying it on layaway and haven't fully purchased it, but one of these days...

I'll be spending Christmas in a small town so I won't have access to a gym with barbells for my current routine. So no, I won't be able to continue my workout over the holiday.

I think after a month you'll see tangible results. At least that's what I found.

While I've been working on losing fat, crossing the 300 pound threshold has been my favorite milestone. Congrats!

I wouldn't worry about a plateau until it hits. Frankly, for 300ish pounders (and I experienced this firsthand) there's enough weight to lose that a "stall" isn't likely to happen for quite some time.

Bale and Cavill had to hit the weights hard, I'm sure she has some intense gym sessions in her near future.

I can't think of a reason not to. If you don't find the pics motivational, then they're just bytes of data on a computer somewhere. No harm done. On the other hand plenty of people on this thread have already given good reason to do so.

From what I understand (and I'm far from an expert) the subcutaneous fat is just what the name says, if you're speaking Latin that is: "Beneath the skin." So the belly fat is visceral. This is an issue for me too, even as fat has burned, what I have remaining is still focused around my belly. It's becoming clear to me I…

When I started at 340, I found walking and the elliptical machine to be good ways to start. I'm really grateful for the elliptical machine, it provided high calorie burns even at the beginning when I could only go at the lowest setting for about 2.5 mph. If you're up for it, do lift it you can. As a former athlete, you've…

Not only do I have a timeframe, I've made a projection of expected weights at certain intervals, so I can track progress. This was extremely helpful to me. ymmv.

Not precisely, but I do expect to ballpark estimate calories, just to make sure I don't egregiously exceed some daily threshold.

Outstanding! We're bros, in a sense. I started at 340 and 200ish pounds is my ultimate goal too. Less than 30 to go, should be done in time for April birthday.
