wow you look amazing. That must have been a good time.

you have made a choice to change the way you look. Use your unhappiness as motivation to keep on working at the goals that you have set for your self.

you can scramble them in the micro, melt a little butter add beat eggs nuke for 30 sec, stir, nuke for 20 sec and stir repeat till they are the way that you like them, eggs in the time it takes to make toast.

I like nuts and raisins, and peanut butter they are high in calories but good for you

1) Drink your water 2) Whole grains 3) Protein 4) avoid empty calories that give you nothing

peanut butter and nutella toast

your heart rate monitor is more accurate then the pre guessed logged calories, some people work harder then others.

I don't think they help for weight loss but I do use the one at the gym when ever I have time because it seems to help my muscles relax after a workout.

this is a fantastic Idea, someone could make a group to share what they have or need. Good for you what a blessing to some one else, just make sure you keep a pair of pants so you can see how much you have shrunk keep up the good work and thanks for blessing others with extra stuff !

I just subtract the extra calories that I get for work on the weekends. I set my goals to sedentary then recorded the calories for the day then I put in my active setting (as I am a carpenter) and subtracted the difference so on my days off I make sure I leave the difference in calories uneaten

I loved reading the New Rules of lifting and just started using the program It seems great. There is also a group called strength training that has several workouts posted as well as a discussion about the book. feel free to join http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/807-strength-training

I think for me its mainly the lack of knowledge. Injury, getting in the way of others, just looking stupid.

cup measurement is a volume measurement grams measurement is a weight measurement if you were to weigh popcorn vs water popcorn and water would weigh different amounts for the same cup

shake weight always makes me laugh

This Also from my past exuberance I gave up strength training because I saw no point in it...Until my body started eating my current muscles

Ok it wasn't terrible but still a bit uncomfortable for me I don't know what the stuff is called, where it is. I took a bar off the bench press to do my deadlifts and some guys like the bars for that are over there, they were leaned up in a corner. That was my first lift so I started feeling stupid but I stayed and…

you skip meals, and your food choices some days could be better also water consumption could go up. Good luck

It may have to do with the fact that I am a Carpenter and expel a lot of energy up down ladders, lifting/carrying heavy stuff all day. I did notice that if I eat pasta ect for lunch I become sluggish so I think its a balance I have to have some but not loads of them.

I wasn't eating mine back and my weight loss stalled out because your body needs fuel for you to function. If you work out and burn more you need more fuel if you don't eat enough your body can start to think its going to starve and stop losing. I don't eat all mine back but I do try to eat some of them back I just listen…

Blazergrad, I don't think this book would be a great tool for you for workouts as it likes to incorporate 6 basic moves squats, dead lift, lunge, push, pull twist, and combo moves. Your picture shows looks as if your in great shape, thats fantastic. My dad has recently became slightly disabled, he was still mobile but…

well said ^this^

I had this problem but I am a carpenter on my feet all day. I found out by looking at my diary I wasn't having much in the way of carbs for lunch. I add some and bam problem solved. Take a look at your diary maybe add some carbs or some fruit for sugar in the afternoon. best of luck to you.

By over weight son (13 years old) Loves the biggest loser. We also watch the show so I think that may have something to do it but he plays/ exercises for about 1-12/2 hours at a time and is always looking to improve his workout.

I am over 2000 cals for the day I do try to eat them but rarely eat my exercise calories. I have started eating more calorie dense foods, nuts, raisins, peanut butter. It does seem like a huge amount to eat but when I was shorting my self I saw a slow down in weight loss so I guess I have to eat more to lose more blows my…

Fri 11/11/11 10:38 AM I have been around for awhile, and using exercise amounts from MFP data base or the Machines I use at the gym. Now I got a Polar FT7 Heart rate monitor and I found out some good information but devastating news. My work out today: HRM 45 min Walking 407 20 min Biking 174 20 min Eliptical 207 Workout…

I found it to be not accurate, compared to my heart rate monitor

I don't think there is a proper heart rate for lifting (but I am fairly new at this) you do want to keep moving when your doing a reps but take a pause betwine sets. If your sore from lifting trust your body push but not to hard. If I am sore I use my judgement and usually push through it. You get to know your body sore…
