  • Yes I have been intermittent fasting for the past 6 months. Worked really well early on. Some days I dont log 100% of what I eat, but I almost always (95% of the time), finish at a deficit. If not for the day, then definitely for the week. Usually enough of a deficit that I should be seeing a 2 lbs/week loss. I've added…
  • Started 350+. I say + because the last time I stepped on the scale it said 345 and I out grew some more clothing from there. Down to 297 this morning with a goal of 190-200. Thanks for this thread. I needed it!
  • Best thing to do is invest in a heart rate monitor. I use a Polar F4 (around $60). Then you can know how many calories you actually burned and record that in MFP.
  • Thank you all
  • Thx. They have everything! 4 or 5 benches. Power rack. Deadlift box. Several oly bars. Free weight section is never over crowded. Thx SSL. He created a program to meet my ultimate goals. He believes its better overall than what I had set out to do (SL 5x5)

  • Cardio
  • I am on Week 3. Finished Day 1 this morning. I am a 6' 320 lbs man (started c25k at 335). All I can say, is 1) find good shoes. 2) get knee or ankle braces if you need them, they help 3) don't quit. I challenge myself on the treadmill and alternate between 6 MPH and 7 MPH. I walk at 3.2 MPH. My first session I ran at 3…
  • I got the FT4. I'm most interested in the cals burned, and it offers that function. They have the FT7 too though Here's a link. FT4 for $59.99 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8744841&CatId=9378 FT7 for $72.99…
