Here's a neat ab workout from Body-Rock TV I use sometimes, it pretty much works all your ab muscles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywJqdtmhhv0&feature=channel

Bump is used mainly for someone who is interested in the topic and doesn't have time at the moment to read it, so if they type bump it will show up on there profile so they can read it later

HRM= Heart Rate Monitor

AGREE :)

You can pretty much get the same results by just getting your protein intake to around 130g per day

I like the chocolate truffle ice cream bars and NO i will not deprive myself from things i enjoy :bigsmile:

Yep the Polar F series are the most popular and accurate and most affordable HRM's with the all important chest strap. You can find good deals with free shipping at amazon.com from $58 to $89

Fats are good for you and you need them, stay low on saturated and trans and your good, the poly and mono from olive oils, nuts ect are good for you.

Plain Greek Yogurt also tastes like sour cream and lots of protein

Sounds like a muscle strain/cramp, If your using weights you may want to lighten them up. I would rest them and see how they feel tomorrow

YES! when I do short fast crunches my heart rate gets up there so I would for sure

Resistance will change the farther you spread your stance, I would jus't go by how it feels and if you feel sore the next day, if you feel sore your doing a good resistance. Try going to Youtube and search resistance band and you will find a ton of different exercises you can do

Diet soda is actually worse than regular soda (TOXIC) http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diet-soda/AN01732

Welcome and good luck, feel free to add me if your looking for support :flowerforyou:

If the protein shake contains Creatine it can cause bloating and nausea

Most of the time company's or businesses will terminate you for that reason but will say it was for another reason....Very sad IMOP

The cheap 27 dollar SlimLine HRM at walmart is junk, I would jus't keep saving until you can afford to get a better one like a Polar FT4 for around $89 dollars

Protein is important, especially if you strength train and do cardio 5 or 6 days a week like i do, I think the message that link was trying to say is too many people are eating too much beef which is high in bad fats (saturated fat mostly and cholesterol) and are consuming too much to get protein...... protein is…

Yeah I think that article was trying to say that eating too much certain types of meat is bad for your heart but if you make good choices like lean skinless chicken breast, turkey and fish you can keep your saturated fats low and get the good fats from fish and getting protein from things like broccoli ect are all good…

I for one try to get 90 to 100g of protein per day considering I strength train 4 days a week and do 30 to 60 minutes of cardio 6 days a week, I believe if your really active 1g per pound of weight is pretty important

I subscribed to Dr. Mercola's news letter and it has specific meal plans for your type of eating, *Nutritional Typing* It works well for me

Nothing wrong with wanting a clean and healthy environment, i think that's great. But if it comes to a point of an obsession *OCD* then it could pose a problem

Welcome and feel free to add me if you like :)

lol Carl, I hear ya on the beautiful ladies on here :P

I have to say although I don't know you, I am VERY PROUD of you!!! This is what it's all about and your dedication and motivation is extremely inspiring to everyone so 1,000 kudo's to you for the amazing progress and the willpower that you have stuck with :)

interval training DOES burn fat (I totally agree but it doesn't burn as much as if you were in an aerobic zone the whole time) I just shared this because alot of folks think you have to kill yourself to burn fat and just wanted them to know that you don't have to in order to lose weight and burn fat :)

Doing lower activities and keeping your heart rate in the aerobic zone burns fat

Anything over 70% of your MHR is Anaerobic

lol I love fruit tooo :) I have a half a banana and 1/4 of a apple and cube them up so it looks like im eating more

I see your sugar is from fruit but its high, 2 servings of fruit is 2 cups per day, that may be the problem?
