bump; still thinking about it, but i love the answers

If you can, log absolutely everything for a month - try to keep calories and workouts the same and don't cheat. Find out at what caloric intake you lose weight with your current workout routine and tweek everything from there.

weak, make it count next time, lol :drinker:

I have one. It works pretty good, the only thing I would really recommend is to hit the button to check your hrm whenever u think your hr is changing, like between sets if lifting weights or if you speed up or slow down running.. I think if you don't force it to check, it will extrapolate and/or interpolate your hr from…

I may be wrong, but i disagree with this. If you are going to eat larger amounts, better off done earlier in the day so your body has a chance to use the calories...

I think protein generally makes you feel fuller, but i wouldn't mind experimenting with lower protein. If you want to build muscle i think its necessary, but just lose weight, prolly not..

DON'T DO THIS!!! I've tryed

I eat a cheat meal once a week, especially if i'm under cals every day of the week... only 1000 cal per day? - I think that will decrease metabolism and sabotage your weight loss, but thats only my opinion:smile:

Yep it definately happens, i have the same issue - when you lose weight (assuming you lost some weight), some of it is muscle and you won't have the exact same strength as you did previously.

turn it up! you'll find stuff you normally eat might have more calories/fat or carbs than you thought, etc. Snooping around at other peoples' food diarys will help to find healthy food replacements and new food and meal ideas.

there are machines at most larger gyms that are like a bicycle for your hands (not sure what its called), its harder to get your heart rate up but it does work.

Alot of good suggestions. I would eat more than the fibre bar for the followup snack - maybe eat another meal closer to the caloric amount in your initial breakfast / first meal. Later in the day, taper off your calories and make your meals more rich in protein. Good luck...

I know polar is a trusted brand and alot of people will have positive comments about them. I actually have a chest strap monitor - timex and a mio drive. I was able to compare the 2, and they were almost identical. I tend to gravitate towards the mio more and more, as I can use it as a regular watch - then light it up if…

I bought a bunch of molson 67 and molson 67 sublime (I'm canadian) to drink. Preliminary tests suggest impossible to get drunk. ;( Maybe i can log this as water, lol

A change from steady state cardio to high intensity interval training has helped me. Also keep the diet (higher protein) very strict will help achieve results faster. Alcohol v bad as well.

i do pretty low carb on most days and carb cycle, add me if u like :wink:

Ok, so I have results from the gym BF tester. In the last month I've lost 8 lbs, and my BF% went down 1.1%, from 16.0% to 14.9%. This # seems very accurate - thats pretty much exactly what I estimated in the post above and it tends to agree with comparison pictures of many people online. Based on gut reduction, i thought…

hi :wink:

adventure tends to follow me around on vacation, no need to book for it, lol :drinker:

This week again I thought I looked better last week, lol - but I seem to zigzag a bit like that, but overall I'm definately losing fat - my gut is definately flattenning out... I went over in calories once this week (purpose cheat), but ate like crap another day as well. I usually do some sort of workout 5or6/7 days which…

unfortunately thats the last to go, just keep at it :wink:

i put an individual container of sillouette 0fat yogurt in the freezer for about 5 hours yesterday, it was pretty hard so I moved it to the fridge overnight - the next morning it had a good consistency (semi-frozen) and tasted great. It didn't explode or anything either..

i'll throw some small individual ones in the freezer overnight and see what happens, lol
