I absolutely love biking as it is easier on the body (less shock) but still delivers some great exercise as cardio, strength, or both. I'm gearing up for an offical Sprint triathlon on 8/7/11. I've done two unofficial sprints (i.e 1/2 mile swim, 20K bike, 5k run, not necessarily in that order). It was a great thing and a…

Training for a (sprint) triathlon but that is only a 5K run. First one was this past Sunday. Didn't really feel it until Monday.

I love the show. I'm glad I caught up with it when it restarted 5 years ago. I really liked David Tennant but I wish that Christopher Eccleston could have had it a for a few more years before he passed the torch.

I will take a penalty the next day and eat less to offset the overage. It's usually only 100 calories or so.

Being a shift worker is a challenge, both for the strain on the body clock as well as the midnight munchies. When I was doing shift work (12 hour shifts like yours, rotating between days and nights) I would still try to eat meals normal for the time. For example, 6 p.m. was still dinner food, 12-1 am was lunch food, and I…

My wife (I don't drink it) likes the vanilla in cereal, etc. She says the chocolate is good on its own. The coconut tastes like cocnut and also stands on its own.

I go to a massage therapist on a regular basis and I know that it has many benefits. What you mentioned regarding stress and metabolism are true and those both play into helping you with weight loss.

First of all, don't be angry that you've lost "only" two pounds in one week. Be glad that you lost TWO pounds in one week (which is the limit of healthy weight loss). All the exercise has two effects - burning calories and building muscle. My wife had the same complaints in that she watched what she ate and exercised 6…

I'm going for the gold brick. Too bad you couldn't trade the weight for the item. I'd be rich in more ways than one!

I had mine set to friends but since only people on MFP can see it and I have many friends that are not on MFP, I changed it to public. Like someone else said, no matter whether it's posted or not, the real results are all on me (in more ways than one).

My wife and me have been using this site for 4 weeks now. We both find it very helpful in tracking how much we eat and exercise to help keep us on track. The convenience of both the web and phone-based applications make it very easy and convenient to use at home, at work, and on the go.

My wife and me started on this site about a month ago as part of a weight loss challenge through the martial arts dojo our family uses. We like the site for many reasons but one is the support from others like us. I wish you and your husband well. Give a shout if you like.

I like either the Smart Balance Omega-3 mayo or the Miracle Whip fat-free spread.

On the days when I exercise (at about 700 calories burned), I will give myself a small treat that offsets some of those calories. Another option is to go out to a restaurant with my wife and indulge slightly to offset the extra calories burned. I don't think of it as cheating as I'm still within my net calorie intake and I…

Search for "Trance" music. Usually in dance/electronica. I find it very energetic and the pace is great for workouts.

I think you are better off eating larger breakfasts and lunches and having a light dinner. I find that a bigger meal in the morning gets me going longer through the day without feeling hungry. As you mentioned, it can be tought to take the time for breakfast but there are numerous portable and/or quickly prepared meals to…

If your BMR is 1349 and you are only consuming 1200, you are already burning off extra weight (149 calories worth). Eating the calories equal to your exercise just means you're still only losing 149 calories a day. If you don't eat the exercise calories (say 600), you would lose 749 calories (600+149). This should help you…
