Just an update. I kept getting a small amount of residue at the bottom of my glasses when mixing. I have adopted the dump the powder in the mouth and rinse it down technique. It seems to work much better.

You may find that while on any individual day that eating less vs exercising more is a wash, in the long run exercising more may be of benefit. I want to say that it was resistance training while losing weight help reduce the amount of weight lost from protein vs fat (essentially protecting lean body mass from weight…

I decided to give up alcohol three weeks ago to spur extra weight loss...not a problem. One week ago I decided to stop diet coke and diet energy drinks and made it about 3 days until I had serious cravings. I'm currently at 9 days without an artificially sweetened beverage or sugary soda and every time I see one I want…

I feel that whey protein is most effective when consumed immediately pre/post workouts. There are multiple studies that show increased cellular activity when whey protein is consumed in close proximity to a strength training exercise compared to when taken at random. I don't use whey protein if I don't workout.…

1.2 lbs per week is perfect. I wouldn't change anything.

Probably spend about 100-200 per week for the two of us. On another note, since this is about groceries. I would remind everyone that american express has a card that gets 3% cash back on groceries or 6% back if you pay the $75 yearly fee. I've been using it with good returns.

So this thread has lots of harsh feedback, given freely by people who truly care. I think getting food to cook at home is a good idea. I second the following: -crock pot meals (great for busy hours) -log everything (diet sodas have sodium too) -work in a little exercise -get a cookbook I would also urge you to consider the…

I've been a slow progress person with MFP. I've had many "relapses". I tend to think about it like treating an addiction. Smokers don't always quit on the first try (they average about 7 quits prior to success), so I just keep coming back knowing that eventually I'll have successful long term change. Each time I have…

51 pounds is a great accomplishment! Jogging 1 mile is crazy far when you have a lot to lose.

Awesome job!

I don't know that drinking 16 oz of black tea will have any measurable effect on weight loss but it shouldn't hurt you. The quantity of caffeine is not likely to be any more than an 8 oz cup of drip coffee. I use honey in my tea. It adds a pleasant smooth flavor if you're talking 1 teaspoon (~20 calories) which I find…

Last post. I did 9 miles today without any issues with my hands. Making sure my hands were resting up on the handle bars as opposed to reaching out to grab on has made a big difference.

Thanks for all the replies. I just got back from the bike shop. They got me outside to see how I was riding it. My arms were just shy of being straight when on the hoods. With that it was hard not to lean a bunch of weight out onto my hands...so they changed out my stem to a shorter one with a slightly more elevated angle.…

I did get it at my local bike shop where they put me on the bike for a sort of visual inspection. I may have to take it back if it doesn't improve.

couldn't get it to work, the progress pics on the site do look good though. you can check out the sticky post on how to put up pictures if you're still having trouble. it is on the first page of success stories.

Awesome job everyone!
-
Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I'll start shopping around. As for the TV, it doesn't seem to care to speak with the laptop.. connects but always jittery.

Like most of the workouts you just have to stick with this one. In the past I tried p90x with failure a few times both from my general poor conditioning and lack of time...working >80 hours a week at that time. I decided to try p90 instead and had good success with the lower time requirement. I did about a month before I…

I've started up 3 days ago. Trying to get moving back in the right direction again. I think it is a great program and I have definitely taken by before pictures. repost in 90 days?

great job

Beth- Welcome to MFP. I don't think may of us post often...perhaps because we are busy? I am an EM attending but my wife has had several patients succeed using MFP in her medicine clinic. The engineer/computer nerd type of person seems to embrace it the most per her non-evidence based experience. I give it out to patients…

I'm up 6 pounds in 2 days right now. I just log every weight and see if there is an overall trend. If you are using the scale a your primary every day motivator you will likely freak out several times a week.

After a serious addiction to D2 I have avoided most contact with those style games...good to hear there is a gaming community on MFP though.
-
Excellent progress!

Welcome to the group. I've been a seti person for about 10 years. I use it mainly as a screen saver on my main computer but don't necessarily let it run the whole time. Invite anyone you want.
-
great work there
-
Alright, any takers? I'd like a massive MFP team for seti!
-
Shameless bump...I'll only do this a couple times. I just feel like we could get a pretty strong SETI team going on MFP.
