I vote yes. Brunettes are my weakness. Especially sultry librarian types. It's even better if they have a bad attitude.

Started at ~170. Now at 149. Took me ten weeks and a lot of dietary fortitude plus a supportive girlfriend and a lot of Friday nights in the gym.

Nah. He looks too much like a dude for my tastes.

Why not commit some of your caloric budget for afternoon junk food? If you're going to eat it anyway, just account for it and full in the rest of the day with food that hits your macronutrient, micronutrient and caloric targets? Food isn't bad or good. It's just food. Don't feel so guilty. You're not bad because you eat…

For iOS, there is an app called Zombies, Run! which is pretty amazing. Essentially it tells you the story of a group of survivors after a zombie apocalypse. You can play your own music and you can follow along with the storyline in your headphones, but what makes it really sick is the interval portion of the app. Every so…

Flyes or incline dumbell bench presses. The flat bench isn't gonna give you a lot of chest tension through the full pectoral ROM.

- Calculate TDEE - Subtract 200-600 kcal from TDEE - Eat only allotted calories paying careful attention to MICROnutrients (fruits, vegetables, etc) - drink lots of water - Stay consistent. You WILL lose weight this way. Recalculate TDEE every 5-10 lbs lost.

The idea of 'toning' is a bit outdated. More than likely what you're trying to do is reduce body fat while allowing your muscle to show through. This can happen in one of three ways: 1. Reduce caloric intake to remove subcutaneous fat 2. Increase muscle mass through strength training 3. A combination of the above…

1 and 3. Yes.

Weight loss is ~80 % diet. If that's not where it needs to be, you can exercise forever and not get results. As for exercise, try walking. It's easy, no equipment is needed and it burns tons of calories. It's low impact, and you can do it with friends or family as a social activity.

The chairs in your house look very comfortable. ;) You have great skin!

Can I see your food log?

I find foods that fit my macronutrients and caloric budget and cobble them together into a daily set of meals. Then I eat the same things at the same times most days. Consistency is key. I make my lunches before I go to work and I get up early enough in the morning to allow myself some time to cook and weigh breakfast. I…

Try and cut it out completely for a few weeks and see how you feel. If it's going well, try a month. Then try two months. I found that over the past six months of being sober, it's best if you just say to yourself in the morning "I'm okay with not drinking today." Then stick with it. I find that I don't really miss it that…

I'm not judging or whatnot, but I don't think this is a healthy approach to food.

Adding myself to this list again, considering my feed is suprisingly lacking. STATS: - I'm Matt. 34. Massachusetts. Writer. Auto mechanic. Scorpio. I count macros not calories and I use flexible dieting to keep myself from going crazy. Was 170. Currently 149. In 9 weeks I've lost ~18lbs (as of this morning). I log every…

Calculate your TDEE, subtract between 200-600 calories per day and eat accordingly. I'm not sure where you got the 1800 figure. Buy a scale and track your food. Use MFP to monitor your progress. You may want to set your goals to ~5-6lbs total weight loss within that 6 week time period. The slower you lose fat, the better…

I enjoy having a partner who is active and has fitness goals. It's one more dimension of our relationship to explore together. I don't think I could be with someone who was slovenly when it came to health and fitness. It would limit ALL of the activities that I enjoy.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I just started Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto.

I'd forgotten about things like frozen veg. Thanks for the correction.

I took a look at your macros and your caloric intake for the day and based on your body weight, you're eating WAY too little for your body.You're going to feel lightheaded, have no energy, be generally cranky, and probably not be able to keep this way of eating up before you burn out and get frustrated. You're also eating…

You have a point, but I think you're missing the big picture. Machines give someone a starting point to take responsibility for their own fitness goals. If what you're doing on a machine is more comfortable and gets you doing resistance training, then by all means do it. It's not for everyone just like SS or SL5x5 isn't…
