Also I assumed drinking lots of water would CAUSE gain...but people here say it flushes sodium ??

Yea I hear ya,,,,But....eating LESS and exercise IS what got me down over 50 pounds,,,seemed to have flatlined after that...my goal is to stay at 140...do my daily run or bike,,,and eat what I want to within reason....I dont think eating 2k cals a day is the answer but I do understand I havent given it that long but im…

Thx for the spelling lesson...tell my spell check and auto type that

yup up again today.....so much for eating more to loose,lol

well im eating more and.....my weight is up more than it has been in a year

I also heard the starvation mode was bs too.....guess its like everything else all mostly opinons

Amazing how many different opinions and all think they are right :)

Just remeasured 67 " barefoot so 5'7"

About 5'7" was about 5'9" but im shrinking :) Not sayin I WANT to be under 140 just saying that this site keeps telling me i WILL be under that given my diary

Ill try that thx !

Betcha ill be up tomorrow...my 1 time a year for 2 cinnamon donuts and a glass of cider...then my pretzles.....oh well

Yup I did when I started weigh..my morning oatmeal is like a tablespoon...just so I have a little something in my guy before running..when you add the water it swells up :) The croutons are like 5 on my salad...All I know is when I started I was 197 pounds...im 140 now...all I did was bike and run everyday....and chgd my…

Ok; on vacation I did my same workouts, bike or run,,,,,,the 592 is what comes up when I put in my 45 minutes run time at an 8 minute mile which I measured...I do wear a HR moniter and I stay a little over 80%MHR...and the vacation....it happens both hen we go to Maine and eat lobsters everyday ( last year I ate 28 in one…

look at my diet/diary

RE-read...AFTER eating all the lobster I weighed LESS

My weight seems to have flatlined this whole week....I still must not get it...if you weigh say 150....and according to people here you eat what the site says to loose....is there or there must be a point that your body stops loosing ??? my weight flucuates as does everyones but it seems like every year I get back from…

The pretzles are killing me.lol after supper every night i have a glass of red wine and some pretzles....I try to eat just like 10 ut....it doesnt work out that way.. I do scrape the salt off but wonder if this is whats keeping my weight at 141....I also disagree with MFP on the cardio...I biked this morning for 70 minutes…

Ok...I have some soft wrap 5 pound weights I could use those....Ill give it a try....Again I may just weigh in on Thursdays,,,that seems to be my low day...today I was up slightly again....Maybe sodium because I eat pretzles ( I scrape off most of the salt ) at like 7pm...then I go to bed at 10

well....it would be better to read it all or old your responses

really....how far back did you go ......zeeeez

Yea there are no add on weights, its my machine...Its a Marcy EM1 and 2.....

so when I have the bech press at 110 and I can only do 8 reps...KEEP it there ?? Then when I ca do all 10 resp, 3 sets of each go up 5 pounds ?? I have to go 10 at a time due to my machines weight plates... Check my diary my weight is still like a yo-yo...guess thats normal....I may just weigh in on Thursdays as that is…

I will start by doing 3 days a week and increasing by 10 pounds every time if i can

are these weights a good start

Ok here is what I did tonight... 1) Bench press 85 pounds ( I know pretty light ) 3 sets of 10 2) Leg press 130 pounds 3 sets of 10 3) Pulldowns 130 pounds 3 sets of 10 this is in addition to my biking this morning of 20 miles at a rate of 18mph in the heat and humidity :) Check my diary.....I figure my legs are prety…

Why would the lifting kill the flab ?? And what style of lifting ??? bench press ??? And how often ??? Again my legs are thin and muscle as is everything else except the belly flab...if you see me with my shirt on like in my profile pic I look skinny...without a shirt not so much :)

Ok relax, I dont want your BP going thru the roof.....

I will try logging in everyday....and increase my cals. again in the past when I have done that I always see an increase in weight...maybe I have to give it longer than a week to see a chg ???
