No problem. Remember that skates with smaller wheels are shorter wheelbase will give you a lot of maneuverability, which is soooo fun. Big wheels go fast, but it's like driving a semi truck. You'll have trouble avoiding obstacles. If you have any specific questions drop me a line.

Every pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day AT REST. So more muscles means less time in the gym. The best workout plan is the one you stick with, regardless of location. It takes a lot of muscle to really bulk up. Most of us are more muscular than we know. Just covered by fat.

Thank about how skinny Olympians are. They it 3X to 5X what we do. But it just balances out with the workouts they do. So they may eat 6k calories as their workout burned 5k, which equals only 1k net. Just an example. I know that number is to low.

It's relatively healthy I guess. I find the 6" Turkey very filling with not to many calories. Through Subway I discovered my taste for banana peppers.

To show pictures you need to upload them to photo bucket. Then when you click on the image on their website there is a link to the right hand side. When you click on that link it says "copied". Then paste that link in your reply, but change the first and last IMG to lower case. Bingo you've just posted your picture. :smile:

LOL When I first read this I though your actually shower was counted. 1 1/2 hr shower is a workout lol

How much are you looking to spend? Casual rec/fitness skates are probably best for you. Say 72-90mm wheels. Bigger wheels roller faster, but it's harder on your muscles. Rollerblade and K2 are the good US brands. CCM hockey skates are fun too. I have 90mm k2 fitness skates, I need to reattach the rear brake. Also Seba…

This is just a guess. It's probably complex cause if so many variables. How much weight you can vs are lifting. Rest between sets. The millions of different variations available in moves, not to mention equipment. but weights doesn't burn the calories so much when your doing it, but after as your body repairs itself. It's…

Diary seems to be private. Almonds are a great snack for protein. Or maybe a protein shake, most have low carbs. I wouldn't worry to much about it. A little over/under is fine. We're all humans, and no one's body works the same.

I'd log mowing the lawn as long as it's a push mower, not riding lol. I don't log walking around school, but I may do shopping. You burn tons of calories running for that last must have toy.

It takes time. Losing slowly is the healthy, maintainable way to do it. It will happen. Make sure you stay around your caloric goal. Not to far over OR UNDER.

Sometimes this can occur if you get to dehydrated. Much of our bodies are made of water with a little salt, conductive. If your water level or your salt gets to low it can cause muscles to misfire. This usually happens in elite marathoners on hot days though. I think your just experiencing a little extra electrical flow…

Arlington here.

Thank you very much for what you said. It really means a lot to me. Sometimes we don't have a physical shoulders to lean on. But as long as there are people like you I know I'll be able to make it through the bad days and not just the good.

We'll be here when your ready.:wink:

If you ever want to vent about stress just message me. We all go through those down times. That's why all of us are here to pick you back up.:smile:

Just keep at it. No one gained their weight in a week, it takes time. Don't be disappointed. We are all with you in the same boat.

*JINX*

I think the morning is the best time. As to the day, that's really just up to you. Some people like to do Mondays cause it's the start of the week. Some like Fridays. I usually do Wednesdays cause that's the day I joined MFP.

Count me in too! This site is great. I'm already 8 lbs. down with 17 to go.:smile:

Thank you everyone for your love and support. I don't think of you as my weight loss friends, but as my real friends. We may never meet, but now I feel more loved than I have in a while. None of you gave up on me so I won't give up on you.

Already had a few setbacks. But So far today I haven't had a single soda.

Perhaps if they fatten us up we'll have to keep coming back forever. A viscous cycle.

I just decided I'm going to take the high road on this one. It's my rest day and I need it. I remember a thread not to long ago about the worst thing people have been called and I don't want to cut anyone down for anything right now. I'm really feeding off the positive vibe here.

Take a day off exercising. Take a meal, just a meal, off dieting. And even then be reasonable in your portions. You can erase weight loss much faster than you can achieve it. I wish the reverse was true.

Happy Birthday! :smile:

I think the Great North is Sept. 18, so just over 6 months away.
