Great source of information for weight training. I use that site all the time. The title scares some away but its not for just for steroid consuming Hulks. Also you can see some amazing transformations which are really inspiring!

I hate the person on the phone who wants you to hear there conversation by being loud and that fake laugh! Check that. I hate this at the grocery store, the office, public transportation, laundry mat, etc..

If I miss a workout I get anxious. If I miss two in a row I start panicking.

I'm sure you will have a great time and good luck in reaching your weight loss goals

Never see the decline. Probably don't care Life goes on.

Strength training calories are variable based on the effort of the individual. MFP will give you minor credit under cardio. I wore a heart rate monitor once during one of my weight training sessions and I was 500+ calories after 40 minutes. Its all about how hard you are working.

Too Funny!

Try changing up your workout routine. The body is amazing and it will adapt to the same routine overtime. I try to change up every 4 to six weeks. Also make sure you keep your metabolism up by avoiding the "starvation" mode.

Well said!

It sounds backwards but it does work. Now that being said its the thing I struggle with the most. When I concentrate on spacing my meals out (~6) and with relatively equal proportions I find myself always hungry (increased metabolism) but the weight starts to trend down. My problem is that I don't keep it up and then…

Beer and Crown Royal. But that's why I live in the gym. :happy:

Mirror, Scale, .......

Make it Happen! Feel free to add me

Use bodyfat rather than weight.

I log my weight training as "Weight Training" under cardio. I know its low based on my intensity but that's a good thing for me. A lot of gyms are set up so that you can do circuit training but true circuit training is streaming multiple exercises together without rest between. With this you get a combination of strength…

Who's OUR .Its my country and last time I checked its his too.

They only want to see you happy. Many people find joy in eating but because we are all different it may have negative effects (Gaining massive weight) on some of us. Next time you are around them, invite them to go for a run/walk or go to a gym with you to share some of your joy.

I wish somebody would! Just joking, but I would be flattered.

Well said Brother

I think its more the way you carry yourself than the actual weight. Most men say that pregnant women have a beautiful glow. Now that is obviously not because of their physique but more about the happiness they exude. As you lose the weight you feel better and more confident. It shows. "Everyone wants to go to the party but…

When in doubt I always select the aveaege to the worst which assures me at the end of the day I'm close to my calorie count. I've yet to hit that 1200 exactly :smile:

McDONALD's FRIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll have lots of weeks like that!

Your strategy is sound but the 1000 calories seems kinda low. Also remember you are what you eat so just eating whatever is never a good idea. I'm talking form experience because I still have my weaknesses (Beer and Fries).

Its not the workout per say that makes you stronger its actually the recovery. That being said, you should space out your workouts. I know a lot of people who work abs all the time but in essence they are target training. There is know such thing in target training as related to fat reduction. I usually workout a different…

It really depends on your goals. That's why I like this site so much. If you just want to lose wait, just stay within your calorie range, although I would always recommend anyone to get some type of exercise in at least three days a week. If you are like me and have bad eating habits then you can use the tool to track your…

Make sure you are getting enough protein . I also add glutamine which helps me out. Be careful of over-training and remember rest is as important as the exercise.

Welcome. I'm heading the same direction. My GPS is set!
