ok must be wrong site for this challenge. That's ok. Everybody here is working to get better, and it's not easy for anyone - just how dedicated you are about your goals.

Definitely working on the protein and carbs. I have been eating the same # g protein as body weight consistently, but for my body, I need the carbs to make the protein last in my system.

Thanks!! So far going it alone, but then I am mainly doing it for me. Partners just make the journey a little less monotonous which is why I'm hoping I will have some people join this challenge. Just think how good we'll feel in 15 weeks when the goal is met! At Halloween, they better be scared :)

Awesome!! THe next pic of progress you post you better have a big ole smile because you should be very proud of yourself. Anybody can do this, but few have the discipline to follow through like you have done. Hang in there!!

I use that as well, but I have no idea if the calories are right. All the people who are serious about tracking their calories talk about HRM's (heart rate monitor, I had to look it up.) I think they run from $40-$90 for entry level model from what I have read.

thanks all!

Tuna is good. Starkist has these packs of seasoned Tuna that are pretty good and inexpensive as well. I like lemon-pepper flavor. It is also rich in protein.

I had chronic shoulder pain a couple years back. i tried so many things including accupunture, but it wasn't until I put excercise in the mix, that things began to feel better for longer. In the beginning was a lot of stretching and VERY LIGHT weight. For core strengthening I found that something as simple as laying on the…

You could take in more protein and less carbs for a while. If you are doing P90X, it will help your muscle recovery as well.

Thanks for the quick response. Good luck on your #1 goal. Looks like it's a win-win either way.

Thanks all for the tips. I had to read up on what an HRM is and how it works. Apparently the HRM's are as good as the algorithms they use to calculate calories burned. It would be nice if the site had something basic where you plug in the weight, reps and how many sets and it would figure a ball part of calories burned for…
