If you find a wallet with 45 dollars cash and an ID on the ground, would you: a) turn the wallet in? b) turn the wallet in , but take the cash? c) leave the wallet as is ---- If a) go tell the gym and pay b) & c) Just go until the gym notices ---- There's your answer.

Hey babe I was just reading the forum and I agree with EVERYTHING you said. That other guy is such a jerk... so insensitive.. I really really believe in women's rights and I would never say such a thing... it's so horrible. It says you lost 40 lbs? wow! great job! It's truly inspirational and I would love to befriend you,…

Rowing. It's a full body workout + it'll tone your upper body as well.

It's not a 'myth', but a fact... It's a bit exagerrated that's all. Here's a good article + check out the site I referenced below - Lots of studies done on it. "Ancel Key’s Minnesota starvation study is the classic work in this area, which dates back to 1950 and is still referenced to this day. In this study, there was a…

A lot of people 'lose' fat and get to the ideal weight but still look soft, but you dropped and put on great muscle mass... best I've seen so far gj!

First of all, 1500 isn't a 'binge'... And if you've been eating 1200(without knowing your stats, but doesn't matter) for an extended period of time , your body must have been in starvation mode. Upping kcal to 1500 would have made your body more efficient at burning kcal. It's not necessarily true when people say ' eat…

How long have you been tracking for? if it's less than one month, you have to do it for longer. Think of it this way. You didn't gain that weight in one year. It will take you over a year to lose 150lbs... 2 if you're consistent and disciplined.

Do it with a friend or find a workout partner with similar schedule as u

She's an idiot, simple as that. If she wants to preach her ways so badly, she should join scientology.

I have exerciseinduced asthma. I do crossfit/ run/ row do everything still without a puffer. Mine's 'mild' like yours. ( yours is considered mile if you can run for 20 min) Spend extra time warming up your body/ control your breathing Slowly elevate your hr and breathing rather than to just walk & warmup for 5 min, then go…

Dog walking? Unless you are walking your dog up mount everest for 50 min, no.

I'm sure you heard this many times, but whatever the workout, diet is 80%. Your diet has to adjust based on what type of workouts you choose. Since you enjoy cardio, you will need more complex carbs to keep your energy level in tack. A person who enjoys heavy lifting and 0 cardio will need a higher protein intake and less…

Why? because you're too hungry. You can lose weight while never feeling hungry. Just eat more fibre and veggies.

What's the point of your message - nobody will respond. I crossfit, I know what Paleo is, everybody's on some weird diet, there's nothing weird about it.

Oh one more thing - I used to play rugby and what really got our fitness up was not just 'running' at a steady pace for 5k. If you're running outdoors, just run one mile(4 laps around football field). every lap, do 10 burpees. You would be surprised at how hard of a grind this makes the mile run. Once you can push through…

6' 240 lbs. I ran a 24:30 5k about a week or two ago. That was my first time running 5k. I was 280lbs 5 months ago. I've only run on the treadmill a total of 4-5 times. The longest I've ran before the 5k was a 1.6k run about ... 2 months ago. I ran it at a 9 min mile pace and I was panting quite heavily at the end of the…

Yup. 5 months ago 6' 280lbs close to 40% bf. 0 gym or walking for 7 years. - Couldn't walk 10 min - As for lifts(eg) Bench: 205 (2R) Squat: 225 (3R) Deadlift: 275 (3R) 5 months later 6' 240lbs 21% bf(dexa). - Run 5k in 24:26 min - Bench: 275(2R) Squat: 315 (7R) Deadlift: 405 ( 4R) --- My diet 2k - 2200kcal / day. 150g…

Most people get weak and lose muscle mass while on a fat loss because of the following reasons: 1. Too low of a deficit 2. Too much cardio/ not enough strength training 3. Lifting too 'light' and too many reps. 4. Too little protein Especially as for #4, if you're doing heavy lifting and you adhere by the ' 0.8 / kg…

No... if you're new to lifting and have lots of 'fat' , aka morbidly obese, you can use the fat to build lean muscle , thus increase your lean muscle mass. This isn't the case if you're already lean. You WILL lose fat + muscle. I don't like tagging research articles here, just google them. Thousands of legitimate journal…

Oh, and also, if you don't work out your back, your chest muscle will pull your shoulders forward and you'll have a 'gorilla' hunched over look. Your back muscles will be stretched/pulled as well, causing pain. 99% of people sit down for long hours and have poor posture, causing them to have some sort of 'gorilla' look. We…

LIfter here. Is it the same spot and it's uncomfortable and unreachable? I get it as well in my back since I do a lot of pullups, heavy bent over rows, deadlifts and lots of olympic lifts(snatches / clean and jerk) . It's usually in my upper back(right side). It's not a knot but an uncomfortable feeling. What fixed it? Get…

I also had shin splints when I first exercised. Just on my left side. I was told it's muscle imbalance from certain parts being 'stroner' than the rest. I foam rolled it religiously while working on calf raises and walking (incline) on treadmill. I then joined crossfit. Box jumps, everything is fine. Avoid box jumps /…

Your profile is more fitting for bodybuilding.com. Go post your inquiries there along with pics. Myfitnesspal members offer great support and advice, but when it comes to heavy lifting/protein intake/diet while lifting heavy, you will need to get advice from people on a similar program.

---> proof.

Not true. I eat 6kcal + in one day on my planned cheat days once a week. I still lose about 4-5kg/month because my average weekly kcal is still below my TDEE. I burn a lot of calories doing crossfit daily + rowing(20-30 min). It's based on your life style. If you just walk on the treadmill or jog 5-6 times/week 40 min/day,…

Nah, it's just tough love. I've posted my fair share of encouragement and I'm all about helping. Whole point is for people to stop being in denial and realize that the very basic/core of dieting is calorie out > calorie in. A lot of people seem to disregard this fact and assume it's not as simple as that, but it is. It's…

People do not lose weight because of these reasons: 1. They do NOT know that packaged food calories are allowed up to 20% margine of error... legally. ( in the US/Canada) - 400 kcal lean cuisine? It's actually 480 kcal. 2. No scale/ measuring cup - You think you're eating one CUP of brown rice, which should be 200g and…

You can lie down on your couch and not move all day. You eat 4 slizes of cheese pizza totalling 1200 kcal as your only meal. You will lose weight. If you have a medical condition, that is a different problem, but 99% of obese people do not. It's not a black and white issue. You can hate on me for being so critical and…

For EVERYBODY it's as simple as a calorie deficit. Calories out > calories in. There is NO exception let it be a morbidly obese person, body builder, crossfitter, martial artist, navy seal, wtv. Sorry OP but you haven't been counting calories properly with a scale or over estimating the calories burned from exercises...
