Didn't realize there was a seperate group post area. Well, as I said in the other thread, I am doing my push-ups with my feet on my couch. I just did my set of four for today. Tomorrow will bring one more. These are tough buy it will always only one more than what I did the day before.

I did my 3 decline push-ups yesterday after my workout. They are getting harder but I know I can do one more. Don't think about how many you have to do, just remember that it is only one more than you did yesterday. Anyone can do one more, right!

I lost .4 between 12-23 and 1-2. I weighed again yesterday and it said I lost another 2. I didn't record that one though, I only record on Monday. I recorded on 12-23 knowing I was going to be out of town all week. I too ate too many cookies and didn't have a gym to go to. I did calisthenics in the morning, I think that…

To start I am doing my push-ups with my feet on the couch or bench. I hope I can keep doing them this way. Last week I could only do 7 standard push-ups in a row. I hope that the progressive thing will help me stick with the decline push-ups.

That is what disclaimers are for. I am sure MFP has one around here somewhere. ALL calorie calculations are approximations.

I asked a grocery store if they had nutritional info for some specialty burgers they had in the meat case. They looked at me like I was nutz. The butcher said "well, it's 80/20". I could see the cheese they mixed into it. I asked what else was in it and they listed off several things. I listened to the ones I knew would…

I think I am going to start having trouble at the end of the first week. I can do 5 but 7 is pretty tough. I can do 30 sissy push ups with no problem.

27%, they must be interested in eating someone else.

I bet that was priceless. There were a couple young girls at my gym the other day. They were playing country romance songs thru the gym stereo in the weight room. One of them was singing along. I had to keep turning my music up because it was throwing me off beat on the treadmill. Then they would turn theirs up. I assumed…

I am down 6# since Thanksgiving. But I have added 100# to my leg press and 50# to my dead lift.

Sorry, double post.

I would get bored. Perfect is over rated.

As many posts have stated, I can only hope to lead by example. I hope she will get inspired to help herself.

Thanks. I am tiptoeing around this very carefully. I don't try to ruin every visit with her. I think I would make more progress if I didn't have here full time caregiver, my ex, reinforcing the bad habits and convincing her that I am just being mean.

Thank you for pointing this out. Sorry, I was kind of rambling there. We do other stuff now, I didn't just give up. A couple months ago we spent the whole day at the river collecting "prety rocks" I ran them thru my rock tumbler and will be giving them to her when I see her next week.

My daughter is seriously over weight. She has been removed from public school because she could not handle the bullying. I see a lot of comments that we overweight people know we have a problem. Trouble is that my Ex is morbidly obese and she has brainwashed my daughter into thinking that "beauty is on the inside" applies…

I have a honeycrisp apple 30 min before my workout. Then a cup of fat free cottage cheese when I get home, about 20 min after. The fat free cottage cheese is all carbs and protein. I used to do the protein shake thing before and after lifting and all it did was use up calories that I would rather have for dinner.

I am changing from a splits workout to a 5x5 workout on Jan2. I was thinking that it would be pretty light for the first couple weeks since I am starting at square one and only lifting the 45lb bar. I think having these push ups in there will keep me from regressing on my lifts. My only problem is that at my weight, a push…

I grew up with kids that could open one of the combination locks in about 2 minutes. I use key locks.

This sounds like a winner. How long it it going to take once you are doing 100+ pushups? I don't want to spend half the morning on the floor LOL.

The Christmas Toy. I loved it when I was a kid. I hadn't seen it in years and then I found it on DVD two years ago. Not as good as I remembered but still a good one for kids.

You started out 3 inches shorter and 3 lbs lighter than I am right now. I would love to have you help me get to where I want to be, I am shooting for about 180lbs but I am more focused on how I look than the weight. I am probably built similar to you as well, I can leg press 350 1RM but I can barely bench 100 while I can…

I did good on Thanksgiving dinner and then we went out on saturday night and I ate an entire 10" calzone at Doughey Joey's. The 4 lbs I lost in the previous two weeks were gone in one night. It was Soooo good though.

I have a max calorie diet rather than a min so my weird foods supply the macro nutrients that I am trying to achieve without going over my cal goal. I am usually short on protein and have eaten all my fat already. My standbys for this are 1 cup low fat cottage cheese, one can tuna in water and 3 Nabisco Wheat Thins -…

Unless you plan on serious body building you don't really need supplements other than a good multi. I recently asked a certified personal trainer the same question. His response was that food should be your main source of nutrients. Since you are lifting weights, your body is going to need more protein to make repairs to…

Where I live, I can't get high speed internet. My phone with data package is my only choice for internet unless I want dial up or spotty satellite. Do I have to have it, no. Two years ago I would have agreed about the smart phone thing. now, I wonder how I lived without it. It isn't that I use t as a constant tether to my…

On the ap, you can select the units. kg or lb. For the record, I used to use bb.com as well and as was stated above, it became quite a chore to log everything in when I got home. You still have to write everything down while at the gym and then transfer it later. Using the jefit ap, I set up a routine and follow it, you…

I use jefit. it works great. It is an Iphone/android ap that syncs with a website so you can access it either way. www.jefit.com

I have read that Spinach must be cooked in order to get the iron from it. When it is raw, there is another chemical in there that binds the iron and you don't get any of it. I read this years ago and can not remember the website.
