I guess it does have to be goal specific or the ability to handle a multitude of activities without embarrassing yourself

I had my appendix out in June so that really crippled me for a couple week. Once the aneathesia passes through your body just do anything that doesn't put pressure or pain on the affected area. Plenty of exercises you can do sitting in a chair with a couple free weights.

Personally I don't get a chance to eat back most of my cals since I work till 7pm and workout afterwards. Try to bank as much c cals as you can throughout the day since eating late isnt a great idea short of small snacks

Too true!

Adini hit it spot on!

Weigh it if possible if not then try to keep portions no larger then fist sized

Definately true!! Although I would stick to mom and lime the plague pop joints or make your own...avoid chain piazza places like dominoes or piazza hut

Mines simply Paul Faber...anyones free to add me I'm still getting th hangs of the app

Going to be a tough journey ..your body fat % needs to be in the mid teens if not lower depeanding on how developed you want your abs to be. Proper and balanced dieting is crucial as well. You cant spot reduce fat..genetics says where you gain it and also where its lost from.

I find shirtless the coolest way to go comfort wise ..just have to worry about sun burn

Seems to be hot all over these days..clothing that allows to moisture to pull away from your body for sure..obviously hydrate as much as possible..I tend to keep runs to early morning or late evening in the heat. Will also trail run since the forest acts as a sheild from heat and humidity.

I leveled oh myself for awhile and what jolted me back was focusing on carbs..I tend to shoot for 100 Max a day..sometimes I go over sometimes I trend under..but it seemed to tell my body to find energy from my body fat. I run 15-20 miles a week and I never feel sluggish or foggy keeping it around that number...

Easier to train your body with the same foods to control the numbers at first I think...then incorporate and switch things up as you see fit and learn more about what's healthy and good

Welcome back!! Six years since your weigh in? Do the math and that's about a half a pound a month over six years which isn't as bad as it could be so your diet cant be a total train wreck. Looking forward to following your progress!!

Congrats on the progress thus far! And as the one person mentioned you have to have a caloric deficit to loss weight ..there's a ton on books out there on body weight exercises if your not fond of the gym..I avoid it myself in the warmer months and do a much higher outdoor cardio regime. Check out amazon nonlinear or hit…

Weight lifting will tone you ..higher reps vs a higher weight so you don't bulk up..get your body fat % checked out since that's a more accurate number as to where your at body wise than just how much you weigh

That does seem like a lot and counter productive ..I'm usually 45 mins to an hour especially if your not wasting too much time in betweent sets

Fr sent anyone is free to add me as well!

I stop there almost every morning ..cant beat a dollar cup of coffee..their eggwhite delight or even fruit oatmeal isn't bad at all..

Fat does not just " go away" proper diet will lose it but it will creep back you need to develop a strength training regime. Also you like most people need to stop focusing on how much they weigh and instead focus on you body fat composition ..that number will realistically tell you what you should or should not be doing

Wellcome to MFP! Always happy for new partners in fitness!

I mean i KNOW its going to be off..most of the scales..gadgets ..etc are going to be..just amatter of how much..if variables are removed then it should provide at least a basis for monitoring improvement moving forward...need to find out more about the tape measure method too since i cant really afford one of those body…

tuna...greek yogurt..almonds...depending on how much protein your looking to take it its not really that hard to to hit a modest number say 50 or so..trying to get into the 100-150g's range usually requires powders or Protein infused drinks..some of which are high in carbs and sugar too. Naked and Bolthouse both put out…

I actually find it harder to add healthy calories then to subtract ..now that I'm starting to get active again I got to bump myself up another 500 cals roughly ..I love naked or bolthouse protein smoothies as both are close to 400 cals and roughly 25-32 grams of protein ..loaded with other good stuff too! Other wise some…

I would think its more a matter of personal tastes as some are really nasty..see if your local health store might have some samples to try out or single serving packs

Definately a good pair of shoes..and start with small goals...id hit a local track since you can use that to set east goals ..and never feel bad if say you run half then walk half..your stamina will increase faster then you think

Depends on your fitness level i would think...if your looking to shed weight you need those calories as part of your daily burn...but if your in maintence mode then all that you burn through exercise pretty much is gravy since you already have a solid diet and foundation in place

Men arn't supposed to dip below 1200 cals ..not sure about women tho. Find out what your Basal metabolic rate is or BMR..which basically is a number of cals you burn a day just by living and breathing...after all your body needs energy just to survive. Factor in what you eat and the difference between the two should be 500…

Just keep up with the healthy habits and lifestyle coupled with activity and youll start sheding the pounds away. What you eat is a product of that...if fruits vegetables and fat free items tasted amazing then everyone would be skinny..all starts with the habits and lifestyle change :)
