personally, as cals burned lifting are not that signifigant, i just count them as bonus cals and dont include them in my daily goal. The purpose of weight lifting is muscle building not weight loss afterall.

Adidas Power Lift Trainer 2.0 is a nice shoe under $100 http://www.adidas.com/us/product/mens-training-powerlift-20-shoes/AU517?cid=G96435&breadcrumb=1z13071Z1z11zrf&

BTW i just noticed this when i was scanning the MFP app gallery... "Use promo code MFP for a $5 reward after your first Pact week."

2lbs Pork tenderloin, 2 jars sauerkraut, and mustard seed to taste!

edit: doublepost

That is part of the extra motivation...the cost of not exercising. It adds accountability! http://www.gym-pact.com/

Yeah you need a smartphone for it. as for deloading weeks, just set the next week as a break or reduce the days...or go for a 30min walk using runkeeper...my dog has been a big help in meeting my pact at times lol!

im fairly certain you need a paypal, but not 100%...and yes i feel safer than having something directly linked to my bank account regardless

you do need an iphone or android. nothing really, much like life! i've never had a problem, and the customer service is really good about helping with any errors. id say try it with a 2 day commitment at first to see how it works, that what i did, now i am up to 6 days just in case something in life comes up unexpectedly.…

i have two boobs of my own i'm still trying to get rid of, so no adopting any more for me thanks!

dont worry as much about working abs until you are around 15% or lower bodyfat, they wont show up! take that time and bench press or squat! e1: btw if you are squatting and dont feel it in your abs, you are not squatting well! e2: who wants smooth muscles anyways, rippling muscles look sooo much better!

the credit comes from lifting more weight for more reps next time you try the same exercise! Don't lift for credit or weight loss, lift for strength. Diet and do cardio for weight loss credit!

lite beer is FULL of water!

cause i lifted that...2 sets of 6...and i plan on lifting more!

THIS...HRM algorithms are good at tracking steady state cardio calories but not weigh training which more closely resembles interval training from a heart rate standpoint, another thing HRMs are also notoriously inaccurate for.

Strength training calories are not inconsequential but neither are they high...and they vary so much person to person there really isn't an accurate way to track. Use cardio for calorie burn and strength for muscle building. Look at those extra cals as bonus but don't factor them into your diet plan!

+12 lbs and + 3% bf ah well i REALLY ENJOYED all the great food

why on earth would anyone want to lose a booty...i've suffered from noassatall my whole life and would love to have a booty!

Add think of the extra burn from multimedia messages...for example taking selfies...not just fingers but whole arms in use to hold up the phone...and doesn't it take like 100 muscles to smile? toned fingers and eliminating the double chin! edit...i wonder how many calories i burned replying to this thread...typing on a…

[/quote] Yeah i see what you are saying. So should i class these macros as a minimum? because i have been trying to keep just under them. I noticed that our food diary's look a lot different lol, and wondered why you lost more weight than me as you had more food logged than i did :D But i will take your advice, coz the…

also, your daily fat intake seems really low on some days. from my understanding the body is constantly shuffling fat in and out of cells to be used as energy...when you dont get enought fat in your diet the body can hold onto the fat it has for energy reserves. in my personal experience i find to lose fat much better if i…

YOU READ MY MIND!!!!

Well, just as an update, since monday when i first posted, i'm down 3.5 lbs and 1% bodyfat...and thanks to everyones input the deficit is closer to an average of 1500/cal a day...and i did not feel any weaker at the gym yesterday either!

THANKS everyone...and i did dig up some black socks too after realizing most of my dress socks were tan and that at least i knew was a NO NO

wish i understood statistics better...even after reading the effect size article on Wikipedia i still can't quite understand what it means? anyone maybe translate that into non-stat-speak? i love my post workout shake, is this just saying it doesn't matter if i have it post workout as long as i have it at some point? there…

170g at dinner for me!!! YUMMMM! edit: okay maybe not...i am having severe trouble getting down 1.5 lbs of chicken breast after a head of mashed cauliflower and 3/4 lbs of haricot verts! maybe there is a limit

because sadly its been the same 10-25 lbs to go for several months...heck i was up to 212 right after thanksgiving though im sure that was sodium and water related as now im back to 195. edited for heck lol...dont wanna violate the tos!

First i want to say how appreciative i am of the continued input on this thread. allows me to rethink and revise my strategy... and on that note...thoughts on 2 days of a 30-40% calorie deficit followed by a day of maintenance or close too, and then repeat...would this be a more sound strategy for a short-term solution?

take that kitty cat! lol Dogs Rule!

i guess RECOMP is better than bulk, sorry for misstating myself
