I appreciate that. I'm not trying to stack the deck, but entertaining this idea on Facebook or a childrens rights site may have taken a drastically different turn. Which is why I chose to post it here with many like minded individuals. It is tough sometimes putting everything I have into obtaining my fitness goals and…

I didn't make this post to make her look bad I wanted to get opinions from like minded people simply on my daughter's excersize and involvement. I was frustrated because something I thought was awesome took such a crappy turn. I mean she seems perfectly fine to me, but she has complained mildly about her tummy.

Yeah you are right. I don't want to make it a battle with her I just do what I feel necessary and that's it. I never even comment on the food or her choices because I don't have any reason to. I love her exactly the way she is and would only want her to change if it will make her happy.

Thank you for all the positive replies. My wife attends Zumba a few times a week, but I almost feel like she only does it to say she's done it. I love her with all my heart, but we are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to Health and Fitness she continues to buy garbage snack and high sugar junk despite having…

Not at all. It won't get me anywhere I just wanted to get other like minded opinions. This is something my wife and I are very far apart on unfortunately.

She's a typical modern day kid. She runs around and plays, she's take tap, ballet, and hip hop dance, she has phys ed once a week at school. For the most part she is somewhat active, but she is typical of modern kids and spends a lot of time on the computer and/or tablet. I think my wife is just bothered because she is…

I agree a million percent and I did not force her to do anything. If she said she wanted to stop at any time that was her choice. I had to force her to stop because she wanted to keep going, Lol.

I think it can be a tool just like anything else. There are to many variables for it to be completely accurate such as water weight, muscle mass, etc etc. However, you cam measure your bf % the old fashioned way "pinch test" and honestly to me that is a better gauge of your overall progress! How can a little handle you…

I weigh myself on the 14th and the 28th of the month, reason being because Feb only has 28 days. Sometimes I'll go a day early as in the case yesterday when I'm excited to see how things are going.

Thats just it... I'm not only concerned with aesthetics... If I was I'd be lifting light weight and doing a ton more cardio. I couldn't tell you what my 1RM is in any lift I do. My goal is a musclular physique, enhanced athletisism, and strength. I'm currently training for a Spartan 12 Hour Hurricane Heat in October hoping…

Gatorade Chocolate Caramel Protein Bar... These things are awesome!!! Perfect to satisfy a sweet craving, hunger craving, and packed with 20G of whey protein!

I agree with this and I'm not an expert otherwise I wouldn't have been 33 years old and 350+ lbs, but I do know what works for me. What keeps me going and motivated is working hard. Yes I'm probably the atypical gym nut most of you would love to hate. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week for 2-3 hours depending on what I'm…

Stop thinking of it as a diet... It's not a diet it's a new food outlook! You can eat what you enjoy without depriving yourself of vital nutrients that make you feel hungry, unsatisfied, and antsy. Two best pieces of advice I can give are... Stay busy! The more you do the less you will think about food. Number 2 is to stay…

I guess another point I can make with this is the lack of continued effort which in turn translates into not working smarter. I know a lot of people that lose 40, 50, 60 pounds and then... They plateau! They start to get discouraged and frustrated as anyone would. Until we start talking about their training routines.…

Lol... Ooops double post!

I'm very happy to hear that! One of my biggest goals is to help inspire and motivate others! So reading that is AWESOME! Thank you!!!

Yes at least once a year! HYE stolen anything?

Rocked out to some old school Linkin Park during leg day tonight! Hybrid Theory Rocks!!!

Had an awesome day today! First off today was a weigh in for me and I lost 1.5 more lbs since last weigh in!! *Happy Dance!* Today was Leg Day and after a nasty leg session I managed to bang out a new PR Mile Run at 7:45 which for me I am thrilled! Sub 8 min mile goal is officially toast my next goal is to run 2 miles in…

This I totally agree with in every aspect. Like I said doing the correct work for your ultimate goal is working smarter vs. coming and running 10 miles a day at a monster pace when you want to build muscle wouldn't be the smart way to train for that particular goal. So I can see where this all goes hand in hand.

I guess maybe I have a skewed vision of this, but when it comes to excersize in general I really don't feel this applies. How can one improve if you don't continue to work harder. How do you get stronger? How do you beat a plateau? The idea is not to run the most efficient mile, but to run the fastest and to some people…

Coconut Water!

I think quite simply the fact that you are here asking for advice is evidence enough that you aren't happy with you. That is the biggest benefit from all this... Your happiness! Becoming more aesthetically pleasing to yourself (and maybe others if that's a personal goal), being healthier in general, having more energy,…

Confidence can also be a detterent. Think about it from that perspective. Your lack of self confidence is sabotaging you in many ways and you are using outside influences to demotivate you. Stop! You deserve to be confident, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to be motivated to improve YOU! By improving your health (I…

Thank you! Damn Right I'm worth it! Looks like you've had some simply amazing progress yourself now that's fantastic! Inspiration first thing in the morning is always the right way to start the day!

Thank you so much! You are all awesome and I appreciate every single kind and encouraging word!

Thank you very much!

Awesome man! It's worth every ounce of effort you put into it! I trained my butt off for my first race and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I'm looking forward to completing the 12 Hour Hurricane Heat and qualifying for the 48 Hour Death Race... Yes you heard that right! Only way to be is all in no…
