It has been nearly 7 years. How do I maintain ? Weights and cardio. Building muscle is the key to keeping fat away. I don't count calories but still to this day cycle carbs. Depends on what I have planned for a workout next day. As far as cheating eating food ? To me there is no such thing. If you want it eat it. Just…

Sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery, and I wish you a speedy recovery. I have had a shoulder injury that I was able to work through myself that nearly took me a year. Had an AC joint separation 30 years ago and it came back to haunt me about 5 years ago. Did a lot of light shoulder exercises and after about a year it…

Working out a few days a week ? Not sure what that means but in those few days are you truly committed ? You want to work out for just a few days a week (3), then I recommend HIIT. It will boost your metabolism through the roof , and losing 7 kgs will be easy. HIIT is tough but remember "pain is inevitable, suffering is an…

I have only counted calories one day (today) to see what it was like. Don't know if I will do it again. Counting calories isn't the answer. A change in lifestyle is the answer. We just don't move anymore. Back in the day, people had to move to change a TV channel. People had to exert energy to open their garage door.…

Net carbs is nothing more than a creation created to push carbohydrate laden products in a high protein, low carb eating plan. If a person is down to counting the alleged net carb in a particular food, then the chances of success are slim to none and slim just left the building. Eat the food that will accommodate your…

Congratulations on the weight loss. From Kansas here also. I'm very honest in the comments I post and I love that you made no excuses like "food addiction" or "just so depressed" I'm no expert but I have been around a few days and have found that if you can get to the weight machines and work the basics (squats, dead…

Good for you. I have been doing low carbs long before it was the thing to do. I do cycle carbs though for glycogen stores. Good luck

Take a good look at other people when you walk down the street waddling and limping due to being over weight. Do you want to end up like that ? You need to realize that being obese can and will have an affect on other people. Don't believe me well about 3 years ago I had 2 weeks vacation scheduled over Christmas planned…

Feel free to add me if you would like. I do low carb (and have been for many years even before it became popular) with one day a week normal to high carbs. I lift weights with a true poison for cardio and Spin Cycling. This would be help from a guys point of view but I'm here to help anyone become successful. Good luck !

Welcome aboard. Remind me to pack a sack lunch if I ever head over there. LOL. I think cutting out the Coke is a great first step. Also try cutting out the snacks. You will find snacks are of habit not necessity. Keep up the great work on your exercise. Keep pushing yourself to discomfort levels cardio wise and just watch…

Welcome to the community. Never say never on how much or how fast you can lose weight. I just lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks. Now agreed I have trained for many years but I will cycle up then back down for muscle development. When I do want to go down 15 to 20 pounds I always go back to a very strict HIIT (high intensity…

Eating cottage cheese before bed is an excellent snack before bedtime. The cottage cheese will digest slowly (upwards of 8 hours) during sleep while providing your muscles with protein preventing catabolic effects during sleep. You will wake up feeling great and probably not even hungry. Cereal before bedtime ? Don't…

Absolutely work out. Having a cold is no reason not to workout. Some of my best workouts have been when I do have a cold. Don't really want to be at the gym but once I get there I'm even more determined to do my best. Do not shorten your work out due to a cold

Stress seems to be the common excuse for over eating. I know a lot of people including myself that encounter stress on a routine basis and yet don't use it as an excuse to pig out. You say you are sick, and yet you go out of your way to continue eating. You are getting ready for school ? Why spend the money on school when…

Welcome to MFP. There are a lot of great people here that will provide you tons of support. I'm new to this site also but not new to fitness. I'm here to help and feel free to add me if you would like. Steve

I never have tried the fitness trackers but I do have two different heart rate monitors that I absolutely love and it makes working out so much fun and really keeps you accountable.

I'm glad I never got hung up in the how food looks camp or worried about a food being rich and decadent. So I guess my suggestion of protein shakes, peanut butter, or if I really want to splurge boiled turkey necks do not fit the definition of gourmet. And we wonder why our species is getting fat, when actual time is spent…

Learn to listen to your body. You say you are at 600+ on calories and never hungry......Don't Eat ! Never feel obligated to eat.

Make sure and have someone show you proper form and the one I recommend the most is dead lifts. Do those and you will feel about every muscle the next day saying ouch. Lol. After a week of doing those, concentrate on bench press, squats, shoulder press, and rows. That will hit every major muscle. Keep it simple, use proper…

Hi Heather new to myfitnesspal myself but not new to working out. Worked out for many years then made a move with my job and got fat and happy....ok maybe not happy, but definitely fat. Seven years ago I said enough is enough and took off nearly 80 pounds in less than 10 months. Body fat was at 7%. I now carry about 14%…
