Looking forward to knowledge being dropped!

If you are shooting for a weekly average of consumed calories, it doesn't matter if you add it on the day before or the day after IMO.

For a "Let's see what's in the pantry" type of meal, it can't be beat then!

I realize you are working the biceps with back exercises but maybe 1 less exercise for back and 1 more for bis to isolate them? This is the only suggestion I have. Everything else looks reasonable. Looks similar to a program I am starting: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/20-6-day-weight-cardio-cutting-workout.html

Wow! So there are at least 3 of us in this world that like to leave the gym with a sweat without doing cardio. I sometime worry if my workout was any good if I don't have to take a few minutes to gather myself before I hit the locker room!

There's an app called "Tabata Pro" I use when I do intervals. You can set the times for the prepare, work, and rest periods. You can also customize a number of intervals and the number of cycles.

This! I do cardio but it's only because I WANT to. Not because I HAVE to. When I do do cardio, it's a challenge within myself. I'll tell myself I'm going to see how fast I can complete 2 miles. Each time, I try to beat my best time. Or I'll do a boot camp to see if I can stop one less time than the previous class.

My $0.02 worth... Do what works for you but BE CONSISTENT!!! If you use MFP as it is intended (set up based solely on your everyday life (less activity), logging exercise calories, eat them back), then measure your results and and adjust calories as needed. If you calculate your exercise in your TDEE, then still measure…

1) Set caloric goal. 2) Eat within said goal. 3) Exercise. 4) Measure results. 5) Adjust as necessary. 6) Go back to step #1.

Thanks for posting. This helps me a lot. I sometimes eat "because it's time to eat" even though I'm not hungry.

Keeping it pretty simple. Never stuck with any program for more than a few weeks so want to see if I can do 12 weeks of: Day 1: Chest/Back/Abs Day 2: Glutes, Hams, Quads, Calves Day 3: Shoulders, Tris and Bis 3 sets of 3 exercises at a goal of 12 reps each set 30 seconds rest between sets (45 seconds on lower body) Try to…

I don't blame the food. I blame the one that didn't have the discipline to stay away from said food (me).

Thanks for the feedback. Any more?

I'm trying to count calories expended from weight lifting to prevent reducing too many calories from my diet. Don't want to cut 1,000 calories but would rather cut 500 and exercise 500. I only have so many days a week and so many hours in the day I can get a workout in.

Thanks for the feedback. Seems as if the consensus is consistent: use the "moderate" setting (and don't eat calories back)workout consistently, monitor results, adjust as necessary. Any other feedback?

I've skimmed through many of the replies and they all seem great but not really clear how I would measure my calories burned via strength training. I have a Polar HRM but I have come to realize that I don't burn 1,000 calories during a leg workout! I am aiming to lose 2 lbs per week. I think my TDEE is around 2,400 and I…

I have a lot of body fat so I use a tape measure to measure my waist, neck and hips and then plug them into the military body fat calculator on fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf.

Don't be misled! You could lose a ton of weight and not see your abs, you may be what is called "skinny fat". Focus on fat loss to get to the point to where you see your abs. Now how long it will take you depends on how much work you are willing to put in to see them (via diet and exercise). It starts with knowing your…

Great progress! Keep it going. Don't look back. If you stumble, get up, dust yourself off and keep pushing forward!

And this is why I wear them! My wife doesn't want to be scratched by rough hands.

Leaving 30% heading to 10% with stops at 15 and 12% along the way.

If you tend to eat processed food or eat out a lot, sodium is good to track. 2500 is the max.

Man! This is a great post! My wife is becoming more and more supportive as she sees how much it means to me. I also support her if it means picking up the kids so she can get some type of workout in.

You should be losing the weight for yourself and not others. Seek your own approval and not that of those around you!

Best advice!

Great job! Keep up the good work!

First off, congrats on you weight loss. Now what you don't want to hear... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TONING. Most people say they want to "tone" when they really want to reveal the muscles they have. This is commonly known as fat loss. The second thing that you don't want to hear is YOU CAN"T REDUCE FAT IN CERTAIN PLACES.…

There it is!
