You just need to accept what people MEAN and NOT what they actually SAY. A good friend who has not really seen me in a while was stunned to see me the other day, how good I look "now" .... There was no ill intent. Take the good meaning an move on. Cheers, Sean

Okay ... but ... why do you hate roses? IMHO, a surprise bunch of colourful flowers can turn a day right around. Just saying. Cheers, Sean

There are stupid questions. There are stupid people. There are lazy people. That being said, ask away. This is the Internet. Never, ever, take anything too seriously, and expect some morons will reply to whatever you ask. Smile. Use MFP to lose weight. Ignore the Internet stupidity. All good. Cheers, Sean:laugh:

My thought is this. During the day I move around. Do stuff. So, if I eat, some of the eat gets used. If I eat then go to bed for 8 hours, then I do not move around and stuff is not done. All of what I eat remains unused. Perhaps this food becomes ... fat. Please reply to discuss my thoughts. Cheers, Sean

+ Can we reconcile these please? Does it matter if I eat late? If so, does it matter what I eat when I eat late? Sean

So, I never really liked BK/McDonalds as a kid. But, if I do eat food from there, I choose a salad. It's not the best salad ever, but it's better than the bacon-double-steakburger-supreme-a-la-mode. Actually, all kidding aside, you lose a taste for the greasy fast food as you continue to eat well. I can swing by BK and…

33 miles (went back today)...

30 miles on the elliptical so far ... :smile:

So, I took a late lunch and went to the gym. There were three customers there, including me. I got to do my circuit, use the elliptical I wanted, not see nekkid people or smell fat, hairy, sweaty guys, and found the sneakers I lost last Friday when I went there to play soccer. That's a great gym day!

I know and read on here they are not that accurate. Should I really bother with it? The elliptical at the gym asks my age, weight and takes my heartrate. Is a wrist HRM going to be much different? Cheers, Sean

I do this. I move between machines when working out, as a circuit. And, I feel bad about it ... but I make sure there is no interest in the machines I use before I start and I pay attention and wipe down so someone could jump in. I like this kind of workout. If the gym is busy I just do four sets in one place before moving…

Right. Trial and error. I assume MFP overestimates the calories I burn on the elliptical. I assume MFP and I underestimate the calories I actually eat. So ... I try to leave some padding with those assumptions in mind. I don't have a HRM. I don't fancy having to strap that stuff across my very sweaty chest when I go to…

Checking in, 20 miles on the elliptical last week. 5 miles on the ellptical today. 25 miles so far.

If you don't work out, then there is nothing to eat back, right? On the food tab, look at the bottom at the "Remaining" line. If you have logged your exercise and food, then this is the number of calories you need to eat. If you had no exercise to log, then this is still the number of calories you need to eat. Hope this…

Much of what you were told seems reasonable. I am not sure what HIIT is ... I could search or Google it I guess ... so I would be curious to know why it doesn't burn fat and what it does burn. I figure, if you work out and consume protein you protect your muscles? Me? I like to think my approach is moderation. I don't…

I know the reverse situation, where a woman cheated on and then divorced because her hubby became overweight. It's how things go sometimes. Certainly, physical attraction is an important component of this ... stuff. :drinker:

Agreed.

No worries. A lot of the discussion here is ... difficult ... to deal with online, without training. Cheers!

Not knocking, honest. Just enquiring ....

Absolutely!!

Had to share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_vVUIYOmJM :laugh: As for the real discussion: I tend to prefer how women look with makeup. But, that's the point, isn't it? Cheers, Sean

So, if not crunches for the abs, what exercise?

Great question. What's the answer?

^^^^^ This

Is it usual to take antidepressants for a break-up? Am just curious .... I know breakups can cause real pain, but antidepressants seem a significant step ... to me?? Sean

Guestimate based on what 12-16oz of beer looks like. Maybe 8oz (I know all the calorie counters are set up for 5oz of wine, but ... really???)

I use the elliptical machines all the time. I jog once in a while, but I get shin splints if I jog too much. I also use some weights, as well, but mostly the elliptical. Sean

In. Elliptical 100 miles. What day is the last day of the week for reporting purposes? Sean

I walk across bridges of varying capacity and if one collapses, I take note of the posted weight limit. Just kidding. ;-P Generally, Friday mornings after my bio break and with few clothes on in the bathroom on a scale. Cheers, Sean
