I hope every one is stretching too! It's important for over all health and feeling well. I use a timer when I stretch. But I don't limit myself to the time I want to do it in. So say I want to stretch for 15 minutes, I don't stop until I feel limber, even if it takes 20 or 30 minutes. Stretching before an exercise isn't as…

I was really. It feeling it today. But I did it anyway. 5x5 done as a circuit, the last round I went to failure though. Rear delt raise Corner shoulder press Curls Lateral raise Snatch Romanian dead lift 29 minutes total. I'm on the bike now, planning on 30 minutes now and 30 after dinner.

If i have trouble over eating something then I cut it out entirely. I don't buy it and I stay away from it. Same goes for foods that I enjoy, don't have trouble over eating but also just aren't all that healthy, like bread. I could eat a breakfast sandwich everyday, but do I really need the extra 200 calories? No, I'm…

I get 7-8 hours of cardio a week and 3-5 hours of high intensity strength training.

Oh snap

If she's like my mom she probably bought the pizza three weeks ago when she heard that I might come visit

I'm 5'10 186ish. My goal weight is 175-170, then I will bulk. Current body fat is in the high teens. I'd like it to be 10%. I lost my calipers though :(

Thats a good plan Carl, if there's one thing I hate it's working out in the pouring rain or beating sun.

I'm not familure with all the different work out programs. What is 30ds? Thanks for posting everybody. This is great motivation!

Forget the macro goals that Mfp gives you. They're wrong and bad. Counting your macros as a % of your total consumption is just silly. I shoot for 1 gram of protein for every pound of lean body weight. But do your own research and find out what you need. You CAN eat too much protein. But it won't make you gain fat. Only a…

Howdy Im Chris. And I'm looking to lose 10 pounds by June 1st by doing lots of cardio along with lifting and eating right. I'm going to have to lay off the beer :( I joined Mfp about 6 weeks ago I and I've lost 13 pounds. My goal is 25-30 so I'm happy with my results.

There's nothing wrong with it. Don't stave yourself. Just do more cardio. I've lost 13 pounds in 6 weeks or so. It's not hard. Just do more cardio. I eat nearly 3000 calories a day and feel really healthy.

haha. I Googled it like you said to and I found my answers. :D Thanks -Chris

I'm still learning by a long shot. But I try to lift everyday. I really enjoy it, so I don't want to change it even if something else would work better. I'm not looking for optimum results, but enjoyment and good results. I've been using a three day split with no leg day since I spend around an hour on the stationary bike…

Heybales, very interesting read. It all seems very complicated though. I was doing some reading on tdee. And I found a three or four calculators. They all had me at around 4000 calories a day! Some even more. That sounds nuts to me. But then again what do I know?

I actually didn't lose weight on my last weigh in. But I did finally tighten my belt today, so I'm gaining muscle. Which is awesome because people keep telling me that it's nearly impossible with a deficit. In other news I tried to have a cheat day today but I just couldn't let myself do it. My name is Chris and I have an…

The weight is coming off and I'm generally only hungry first thing in the morning before I eat breakfast so no problems there. I'm got little kids, so I never get enough sleep

I was lifting everyday. Using a three day split. But then I though I'd try a full body every other day approach because I read about it on body building.com. I'm going back to the three day split starting today. I hate not lifting everyday.

I think this kills the "study" " The study only looked at a single meal. It’s entirely possible that a diet based completely around fast food would show different effects. The sample size was small: 6 overweight men and two women. It’s possible that differences would have shown up with more subjects. A related question is…

Sadly, my bike is stationary :( But it's easier to take a ride while the kids are napping, so that's a plus.

I just looked at your profile. You're looking to loose 3 pounds?

When I first got my stationary bike I checked my pulse every few minutes and used that information (along with my body fat %, age, height, weight etc) to find my "calories burned" on several different calorie calculators. It turns out that my bike is a little low on it's calorie calculations. So to stay on the safe side, I…

I follow mine pretty well. I have to lower the "calories burned" that it gives me when I do cardio, but otherwise it's been working. Sometimes I'll go over on my total calories but that's just me wanting to eat more than I should.

I like my program. It's called "Chris' Lift heavy with stupid amounts of cardio" Basically I just lift heavy and do a ton of cardio. Like 1000 calories + a day. Its a lot of fun. Plus I can eat a ton of food when I do it. I'm 3 weeks in it's been really good.

Yeah. I'm not looking forward to the day when I need to actually eat less. Maybe I should get some practice in one of these days

That is correct. I'm at 189 and I want to be 175 maybe 170. So I've got around 10 weeks to go.

Today it was a 30 mile bike ride, a bunch of ab work and stretching. Why do you ask?

Yep. Did you read my first post? I NET 1290. I eat way way way more. Then I burn it off.

Double

No, I'm eating around a 1000 deficit. My net is 1290. So if I eat 3000 I need to burn an extra 1700. I eat a lot. Look at my diary.
