A couple of times a week at the same time of day (first think in the AM for me). Don't freak out if you gain. Weight will vary due to a number of non-fat related reasons.

It sounds like you got a handle on it. i don;t know Scooby's workshop, Google "Harris Benedict" and follow this formula, it it matches Scooby then you have confirmation you are on the right track.

agree

I work out more if I anticipate eating more. Why is that bad? - certainly doesn't sound bad to me. It is ok to eat if you are active. I'm not into self denial.

3 lbs in a week is a lot. it may just be a hydration issue. Relax, drink water and maintain healthy eating habits.

I hear you. It was scary. I think the main thing is to stay active, and slowly add good cals. I added more nuts, grains and little more protean to support weight lifting. Don;t freak out if you gain weight in a short period of time, it is not likely to be fat, most likely water. monitor your weight over a long period of…

I can't run due to knee issues. My cardio is walking, machines and bike riding. Upper body days I typically do cardio unless I feel my legs need a little more rest. Lower body days it depends: My weight program currently rotates between 6x3 (90 sec rest), 5x6 (90 sec rest), 3x12 (60 sec rest) and 2x25 (30 sec rest). I find…

I typically do it after. but I like to mix things up as well, sometimes I'll do it before. Or both before and after.

How is the rest of your relationship? How is his overall physical and mental health?

Not at all. Eat all the veggies you want.

The long-term solution is behavior modification. You need to create healthy habits that make you happy. Notice i used the verb "create" not "find." Habits are something we build over time. At first it takes effort, eventually they become habits. On the relationship with food front, I've found that using the MFP tool to…

I never cheated until I lost a sig amount of weight (30 lbs or so).

Look into the book "New Rules of Lifting or Women" - also there is a MFP group for this book as well. this book is an excellent resource is designing a long-term plan for you.

Salad with dressing on the side.

You need to reprogram your brain. My strategy is constantly associate in my mind the relationship between those foods and my being fat, unappealing and unhealthy. And associate good food with being athletic, attractive and healthy. Also, try to find good foods you like, experiment with good foods.to find those you like.

High school football - summer of 82.. Weight room in an a portable building, no AC, summer, full of sweaty kids. Not the best experience:) Love my current YMCA however!

Measure over a long period of time - it will average out. Be patient.

Per my HRM I burn 300/cals per hr. I'm 190. Workouts are supersets with on average 60 seconds between sets.

You also might be overestimating cals burned in exercise.

For the type of exercise you describe, protean powder may be overkill. Just eat other sources of lean protean (fish, chicken, tofu, rice beans, milk) - you know, real food. When you increase the intensity of both your cardio and strength training you may benefit from powder. As for me I use it post work out as part of a…

I have an Omega Egg nearly everyday. My Doctor loves all my blood tests.

Go get the book "New Rules of Weight Lifting" - it is excellent, and will give you many great routines

I've very skeptical about this. Evolution happens much slower than this. The variable that has changed dramatically in the past 50 years is the nature and quantity of the food Americans eat and work we o. We eat differently and have less active lifestyles than our grandparents.

with only 12 lbs to lose you should set the weight loss rate slower, this will give you more cals and is much better four you.

i log the cals as cardio i keep a separate spreadsheet logging the specific exercises

Default protean setting are too low for most of us. I've lost 60 lbs eating 150 grams a day. Don't worry about it.

If your photo is current, 2 lbs a week may be too aggressive for you, from it you don;t appear to be that overweight. The less weight you have to lose the harder it is to drop 2 lbs per week. Perhaps1 lb per week is a better target for you? Consider the following question. Do you want to lose 2 lbs of fat OR 1.3lb f fat…

Been in your shoes. I just sent you a friend request and will be happy to help. It all seems daunting, but it is not that hard to change things, and not too late. The first steps are the hardest. - I'll help.

I've found planning is the best way to manage eating habit. Plan all meals and snacks the night before, this forces you into decision making when you are not triggered to eat bad food. Also in my experience, if you eat quality food long enough, your preferences will change toward good food....in effect your brain…
