As a couple people have said already-reverse crunches. they are easier than regular crunches and work the muscles better IF you do them right. Also, anything that gets the obliques, such as bicycles.

Value on my life is debatable (I'm one of those people that never thinks they've done enough in life), but I do acknowledge the value my wife and children place on my life. And yes I feel worthy of love. I work hard to provide for my family and they love me more than I could ever hope for. I don't think the perception of…

I definitely don't, that's why I'm trying to do things differently this time instead of falling into what I did 15 or so years ago. I'm not doing anything near as extreme now as I did then but it sounds like I might still be pushing it a bit, which was my wife's concern and why I thought I'd come here and ask. Sometimes…

I got chubby and slow. After years of working desk jobs and getting caught up in raising kids and whatnot I just let myself go. One day I woke up and realized I had a pot belly going on and decided it was time to get in better shape. I've lost the weight I set out to lose so it sounds like I need to make adjustments to get…

Thanks for the feedback guys. This is why I asked. I know I'm not a good judge of what my body actually looks like, and while I appreciate my wife's concern she's not exactly impartial. Maybe I should adjust my MFP settings. It is still set to weight loss rather than maintenance, and it is set to sedentary, though I don't…

I find myself with the night hungries as well, usually craving sugar because my daytime foods don't have much unless its from fruit, and I usually pig out on cereal or chocolate after 8 pm. MFP sent out an email a few weeks ago with some recipes in it, one was for tuna salad with avocado instead of mayo. I've been trying…

sandwich thins. Fewer calories, whole grains, and they don't overpower a sandwich with too much bread. Not as good on egg salad or pulled pork though because you really need a regular bread to soak up the juices.

I think most people with a normal daytime schedule get that hunger around 3pm. You should eat something more filling earlier in the day to keep that hunger at a minimum, and do not go crazy snacking. A little will go along way if the rest of your diet is adequate. I usually go for fruit, almonds, or a protein bar for that…

I'm trying to get down from 155 or so to 135 at 2 pounds a week and MFP targeted me at 1200 a day. I work out everyday. I try to do 3 miles on the stationary bike at least 3 times a week, and most days I do a set of 300 various crunches and 3 sets of 40 pushups. I don't track steps or anything like that. I've hit my goal…

I don't do much for breakfast. I usually do a large piece of fruit, or a hard boiled egg, maybe a glass of milk, or on a day where I feel like splurging I may go for a egg white delite at McDonalds, and follow up with a piece of baked chicken around brunch time. I find it hard to get my hunger going in the morning, even if…
