If you make it a priority, you will find the time. :frown: Go to bed earlier and wake up before the kids. 10 minutes of exercise is better than none; anything beyond a certain point and the return on the investment drops off. If you could get up 45 mins. before then kids, then get in 30 mins of working out, you'd be miles…

Based on the quotes from the article that appear here, I think it is ludicrous.

50 lbs in 3 1/2 months? It can be done, but probably shouldn't be. Weight loss while avoiding muscle loss should be limited to about 2 lbs per week. You don't want to lose muscle. It helps burn calories. 1st step is diet. Losing 500 calories per day will result in about 1 lb of weight loss per week. Drink lots of water.…

I use a FitBit Flex. Both my wife and I like them. I prefer to use MFP to track my eating over FitBit. My primary use for a FitBit is I establish a minimum activity level and the FitBit helps me maintain that. FitBit does track sleep patterns fairly well, too. My wife had to send her FitBit back for a replacement as the…

I call BMI BS. I agree with klaff411, BF% is a better measure of whether or not someone is "obese". Problem is that measuring BF% accurately is not a real exact science at this point. Someone came up with the BMI and, even though many fit military people are being told they have to lose weight or risk being discharged, no…

Archer for comedy. BTW, why do they warn people up front that Archer is for "mature audiences" when it is the most immature program I have ever watched? I feel like such a 14 yr old kid! House of Cards for drama.

TV is ruining how we used to watch TV. As can be evidenced here, people are very tired of having to wade through 22 minutes of advertising per hour on network television. Cable televisions has adopted the same ratio. I can tolerate the shows intros prior to each episode on Netflix. Oddly enough, If I watch Archer on…

Eating healthy is great, but I wouldn't worry too much about that in these circumstances. If you're looking to lose weight, it is a matter of calories in vs. calories out. Make sure the calories out are always greater than the calories in and you should lose weight. Don't cut yourself too short on calories, though. You'll…

From a previous life when I was a detective for the local PD. I ended up getting demoted (not justifiably so, IMO). I promised myself that I would make the grade once more by scoring at the top of the next promotional process. I did exactly that and was re-promoted to detective. My first "new" assignment was to a drug unit…

This would be a good time to try bodyweight training. Lots of choices, but I do like Mark Lauren's You Are Your Own Gym. He has a few videos on youtube, but if you search for bodyweight training, you'll find a ton.

What difference would it make to your body if you were to eat your dinner with your husband, having your trainer's protein shake during the dinner time he specifies for you? You can gain weight or lose weight with just one meal per day, regardless of what time it might be, depending on the number of calories you choose to…

Depends, really. If you are interested in accurate measurement of your calorie expenditure during exercise, you're better off buying the HRM but make sure the model you choose will compute calories burned. If you feel you are more in need of motivation to get you moving a minimum amount on a regular basis, then the FitBit…

I sympathize with all those who find themselves stuck on a freeway, at work or at school because they could not get home due to the weather/road conditions. That being said, they ( the city/county and state govts.) could have prepared for this as it was forecast. Your elected officials let you down. The icy weather came…

Probably not. My wife and I have both noted the same thing: the calorie estimates for various activities on MFP are usually underestimated based on what our HRMs give us. Go with the HRM reading; takes into account your exertion level (bpm) and in some cases, even your weight and other factors to calculate the calories…

Have no idea who this person is, have no desire to meet her based upon what some of stated here. That being said, to the OP: If you don;t like what she has to say or how she says it, why watch/listen? George Carlin said it best many. many years ago. "If you don't like what's being said, change the station". The more hits…

Kettlebell swings. A 15-25 lbs kettlebell and swing it between your legs for reps. Get's your heart rate up quickly. Just check youtube for some SFG or RKC (Pavel Tsatsouline) videos for how to swing properly. Videos showing slow motion swings should be trashed.

It's possible. Just stream a movie or whatever you like to watch and it will fly by...

Nothing on earth can get me into a pair of those...unless I take up running in cold weather again. Then we'll see.

Depends on the wind chills and heat indices, or it did when I was an avid runner. When the temp approaches 0 degrees F, I would consider not running. Anything above 80 degrees would have me checking the other factors, such as humidity. People usually do two things with the weather-***** about it or dress for it. You can…
