I did IF following the Eades (Protein Power) for several months, and a longer fasting window using some of Bragg's fasting routines. I was low carb as well and it has worked well while maintaining the fast window and low carb. Carbier food create triggers, especially when severely limiting them. I can see results quickly…

I have Dodgeball tonight and that would blowe my arms but will be back for tomorrow's set. Thanks for posting these.

Done but had a Costco Tart for dinner with guests that blew it out the window. :-(

In for sure. WIll be done before dinner.

Yogurt with a shot of Whey protein and some mixed frozen berries. I have a Banana just before a 2 hour game @ 7:00pm and a shake afterwards. I'm low carb but got into the banana thing from an old coach and use them for sports or sometimes heavy workouts. I'm sure there is a better solution but it is the only time I get a…

I use Circuit (in Exercise selections) and I usually post a little less than my actual time since I pause between sets or get a drink. It posts the cals based on a general Resistance Circuit related to your body weight.

I set my MFP number as my target. I was not losing as quickly as I should have been so changed my lifestyle setting to sedintary (sit in a chair much of the day) and get my workouts/sports in as well. I also set my weight loss target to 2 pounds/week. I am almost always under my target at end of day. Still feel great and…

Thanks for the push. I am partway through.

I am in Diet Bet and will be in a 2nd one next week. I like the extra motivataion as well as knowing a few other people doing it. DietBet takse 20% off the top, so in the example you give the $3000 is chopped to $2400 with half "winning" and half as "runner-ups for $48/winner. It's still a great motivation and I like the…

Now I have to look up most of these songs. ;-) Whatever fast paced activity I am doing, I like fast music. I love remixes and mashups or any piece that drives. This is my current playlist. If anyone is interested in swapping an MP3 disk or SD card I am always intrested in sampling other tastes. This is the list for…

My very best days are days when I feel it the next day. Doing a workout on my own I seldom get that except when changing up a routine, like doing flys on a workbench and stretching muscle groups in a new way. Also, in my 60's and when I do competative Dodgeball it takes a day to catch up. Other than small muscle rebuilding…

Jess, You are a killer. ;-) I finished the jumping jacks just before midnight. ;-) I'm in.

Halfway through. I should have done some at lunch. I'll finish but will plan better tomorrow.

Tried the gym twice and now do it at home ofr Sports in leagues as an extra player. In Canada there is lots of groups (CitynameSportsandSocialClub) that gets you motivated easily, you make new friends, you start in Rec and work up slowly. I've done Dodgeball, Sports of All Sorts, and Volleyball. I moved into INtermediate…

I'm in. That is almost 500 cals! Love the extra. So funny MissChuchi, ;-) and it's not just the butt. Everything moves more especially when you start losing and the extra overcoat is bouncing. My legs and arms are doing great but my whole torso needs work.

Did it twice (Protein Power and Atkins). It worked great for weight loss but was a dog during maintanance as I approached goal and I ended up giving into cravings as you up your carb allowance. Never slipped back to my worst but month by month a large portion of the weight crept back. Would not knock it for sure and if…

Keep working with MyFitnessPal but add the extra incentive of $10-$25 at Dirtbetter.com and try to do it with a friend. You'll find the motivation you need or you've just blown some$. ;-) As well, you get a small reward for losing your 4% in 30 days which is your deposit and a small extra. A few of us are starting another…

Ottawa, Canada Close to freezing last night and a heavy mist on the way into work.

I like that post as well. I'm pretty sure that at work I would do less than the 5000 but make it up after hours and would be at least "somewhat active".. I also find that by short time my activities to make sure that I make my calorie deficit for the day. I had originally put myself as active from the sports/workouts and…

I am still heavy and don't drop to my knees to make a catch in sports but have a variety of knee pads. I definitely don't think your knees should be touching the ground in lunges. My favorite pad/support now is the Mueller's Jumpers Support. Non intrusive and small profile but keep everything aligned for me. I play…

Lot of great answers. I liked the "Kale is depressing" best but you do get a jaw workout with it. :-) Though not a diabetic, I was close for a while. There is definitelt strong evidence that refined foods and sugar have direct links to depression, particularly is those with high blood/sugar. Here are a few quotes ... “If…

Under Cardiovascular I use "Circuit training, general" and put the time in.

I'm in. I needed a little extra after the weekend and love this simple add-on. I could not find it in exercise or even online relating to cals burned and went with "Calisthenics, home, light/moderate effort".

I didn't know about caffeine but knew about the other two (sugar and wheat). Exercise helps beat depression.

Fiber1 (original) is a great Cereal for low cals and lower carb as well. Fiber-1, 3/4 cup, cup of Raspberries and an Premier Vanilla shake over top just tops 400 cals and is very filling. There is a low carb granola recipe as well, featuring TVP, unsweetened cocnut, nuts and seeds "JANINE'S LOW CARB "GRANOLA" but is higher…

I do not know the specific answer on "how fast" just that we do lose it with inactivity. When I had a sportsd injury and doing resistance was hard to do, I moved to an inclined workbench to remove the stress and slowly worked the weight back up doing most of the standard sets but in a prone/semiprone position. Not as great…

While our bodies are not as rigid as a can, organs definitely get pushed/moved as body composition increases.

Started at 308 several years back and have been as low as 240. Definitely hit a few plateaus along the way and weight in today at 276. Being part of a community helps. This board is terrific and if you need extra incentive join a DietBet.com Challenge. Nothing keeps me on track better than knowing I'll lose some money if I…

Same as Athena, except going low carb gave me more energy but was a little hard to maintain. I aim for 100 or less now with some days over (like today ;-) ), but I work out pretty well every day and my blood/sugar is always just under the crossover point. Also for me Low Carb led to more calorie dense foods and by upping…

Exercise does way more than just give you a calorie deficiency. It is a major defense against depression, helps prevent loads of ailments and heart conditions, helps regulate blood sugar and boosts energy. It also is a major contributer to longevity and is even more important as you age. Weights/Resistance adds additional…
