well thats a no brainer...my point is WITH exercise you can eat more cals...because the exercise burns cals....ALSO with the exercise my HDL went from 55 to 122....LDL went from 133 to 79.....and I did NOTHING else except exercised.....and increased my cals to cover the exercise

so you guys are saying IF I burn 700 cals running and that puts my eating at a deficit I wont loose weight ?...All I can tell you is I dropped over 50 pounds eating what I was eating before but started biking and running an hour a day every day of the week ! FAce it exercise burns cals

what is QFT ??

yea you dont see the flab because im strectching and my clothes hide it well

yea I figured that ...1/4 of what im already eating which is under what this site recommends already ? so if the site wants me eating 2k a day then you say eat 1500 to reduce by 1/4 ????....im still under that many days <<<<and over some...doesnt work...for me anyway

not sure what you mean by 1/4...1/2 ??? But i have mixed it up doesnt seem to matter

55 year old man. 5'8" tall weight 140 Yes I ment gut and bacons.ie love handles. I am happy with my weight but the flab I am not happy with. Read my diary. I under calories on a regular basis of 1000 or more everyday

I didnt "just start" ive been logging and lifting for years....I dont ALWAYS log because most days are repeat

what bothers me the most is people that have excuses....I dont have time to exercise, my back hurts. my feet hurt, I have this and that wrong with me...all bs

many people say im too skinny...male 140 pounds 5'8" tall 55 yrs old....MOST all the people that say im too skinny are FAT !

heres my story.... 4 yrs ago i was biking and had some center chest pain...nothing big, more like pressure...went to my Dr,,,he did ekg and echo...and blood work...all perfect...my HDL was 122 LDL 73....above perfect...his diag. was pulled muscle... Went home and rode my bike that night ...same thing...called him and said…

??? so if im " not eating enough" then I wont loose flab ??? That doesnt make any sense

not stressed weights are...squats,close hand bench press, reverse curls, pull ups, push ups, crunches, all 3 sets of 10

well....first off muscle does NOT weigh more than fat...a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat...muscle does take up less room so you can weigh more BUT be smaller....also the starvation mode myth is just that... a myth...if you eat less calories than you burn you WILL loose weight....that my friend is a…

From those pics...probably the 20 percent...again my legs,arms back...are toned and firm...not much meat on my butt at all...just the lower belly...

Yea maybe SOME skin...but not all :). check my diary today...I WAY ate more than I ever do today...on vaca :)

My lean muscle seems good...my arms and legs are solid and toned...I have a big rib cage ( chest) but my ribs are visable...its the paunch on my gut that doesn't go away...

I don't log everyday because in a normal week I eat the same exact thing and my 7 day workouts are also the same....i run 5 miles everyother day and bike the off days and do weights every other day....

Also IF I was too big a deficit I SHOULD be loosing the flab....too big a deficit means greater weight loss....

My logging is pretty much spot on....my exercise IS spot on...

In deficit over 2 yrs almost everyday. Lifting and resistance a few months 3 days a week after cardio

Weights and resistance are not making any difference

humm well muscle is NOT heavier than fat...a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat...BUT,,,muscle is more dense and takes up less space than fat so if you turn fat into muscle you will be thinner....

i run an 8 minute mile...I run a little over miles every other day...on the off days I bike at a 19mph pace for 20-25 miles....so I do these 7 days a week....not sure if im fit but im 55 yr s old and 5'8" tall and weigh 139...Ihave some flab on my gut but face,legs etc are thin and solid

when we go on Maine vaca's I eat ice cream EVERYDAY,,,,big ones too,,,I come home weighing less...go figure

starvation mode is pure bs,,,,if you eat under your allowed bnr calories,,,you WILL loose weight...period
