i burned 700 calories on the eleptical yesterday and almost 800 today walking!! Challenge DONE!!! :glasses: :devil:

well done man!

I reajusted my spagetti recipe too, I've cut the meat by 1/2, and replaced 1/2 of what is left of beef by xtra lean ground porc. Added xtra lean turkey italian sausage meat, doubled the veggies (celery, zuchinni, muchrooms, onions, green-red-yellow peppers, black olives) and VOILÀ!!! It's actually the best spagetti sauce…

just multi-vitamines & minerals should do, if you see you're often low in your proteins, you can also take some of that...

DONE! Just burned600+ on the eleptical!

here's what I do ( or try to do when my job gives me a chance^^) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/81619-new-training-programm you can do all of the strength exercises at home with a minimum of equipment ( a bench and dumbells) I'm in the military too (Canada), I was armored recon for 10 years, I recently took a…

I got them too lol! My friends say I have a simpatic "A"! Strenght training helps a lot for that, you would see the difference real quick! JF

Sorry I missed the weight-in! Crazy week plowing snow in Halifax!! I'm scrappin the last week all together, too much work, no time to exercise...but on the other hand no time to eat much either!! lol I'll have my resilts posted 1st thing next wednesday!! JF

oh man what a week! We got a freak storm so I worked 12hr shifts most of the week (6-6) only getting out of my plow to eat at the discusting military kitchen (they have a salad bar...one evening I had a choice between 4 different kind of lettuce but no other veggies lol) or use the bathroom! I got home at 6:30 and was in…

Me and my wife had tons of sushi for valentine's, we just didn't log that day. I decided that when I take a "day off" my diet, I dont log, it makes me feel a little guilty! :wink: :tongue: :wink: :tongue: :wink: :tongue: :wink: :tongue: :happy:

Always go as per your HRM, it's the most accurate way to know how many calories you've burned, and the calories counters on the machines are known to be innacurate.

Bump!

I bought it too, the whole family loves it!!

Yeah I touch crossfit a little bit a couple of years ago...i'm planning on getting back into it when I lose the initial pounds!!!

Hey guys! I made up a new training programm for myself, I invite all to go have a good look at it and plz feel free to comment, I'm no expert, it's actualy my first time making up such a programm on my own!! all input is welcome and if you think it makes sence you're welcome to copy it!…

dont worry about it FIT, a lot of specialists say that one day of "overindulging" with fatty foodscan actualy be good for you as long as you get back to eating right again the very next day! I appears that it "shocks" your metabolism and speeds it up... Anyway, IMO as long as a bad day doesn't turn into a bad week it's all…

OH! and I dont log ANYTHING on Sundays, since it's my day off, i also take a day off logging. I'm still careful about what I eat tho!!

I don't log coffee or tea because I usualy have it on the go and since i'm usualy 2-300 low on calories I dont really worry about it.

Trail mix (nuts & raisins) is the easy solution for me, watch the fat on them tho....

keep in mind that the last bit of weight is always the hardest to loose, obviously, if you did lose a fair amount of weight since chrismast, your doing the right thing! I lost an avrg of 5lbs a week 4 weeks in a row and this week 0! But I did lose 1" off my waist! when you get to the end like that, your muscle built up can…

Another book I REALLY like is "the biggest looser's family cookbook", it has recipes for stuff we usualy use but in the healthy version Here's what I had so far thet's most excellent chicken parmigana pizza burgers chicken stirfry shezchuan beef and brocoli thet'ree all good and low cal!!

I think I fainaly have the self control thing under control....I went to McD's with the kids for lunch and had a spicy Thai Salad with a water bottle (instead of my usual dble big mac meal with 1xtra bigmac and a coke) and a caramel sundae (instead of a large McFlurry)...570 calories total at McD's!!! I hate less calories…

bump

lol!! thanks IamSam, I think that might be just what I'm looking for! I'll look it up for sure!!

yeah it does look really interesting, i'll look into it for sure!!

I started Taekwondo with my kids, the workout is excellent, so is the philosophy! It builds self confidence and it's realy motivating, I started it to have a workout, now I workout outside of it to get better at it!! The school probably a free trials, give it a go!! Good luck and enjoy!! JF

I made a chicken stir fry, with peas, peppers, mushrooms, celery and onions!! wonderful!

We have a 4 yo wire hair fox terrier, Ajax. I the family's baby, we have a female coming in the srping from the same breeder can't wait!!

hummmmm....1/2 as big as 6oz? lol Seriously, for meat, a healthy portion is usualy the size of a deck of cards (the regular ones, not the oversized ones lol)

I make pastas with sliced up turkey sausage, steamed brocoli, zuchinni and green beans and Healthy Harvest's Chunky vegetable lovers pasta sauce, just cook and mox everything together, it's to die for!!
