  • My Garmin counts me doing steps even if I am sitting in a chair waving my arms around. It also says I have done 633 steps for extra -313 calories added to MFP. I am 250 lbs so does that mean just walking burns more calories than MFP guesses when I plug in 2.5 MPH for 10 minutes walking speed?
  • Would the treat day on Keto just eating Fat Bombs for your whole days calories?
  • Good work at what you accomplished already.
  • I just started eating better. I have the Progressive Vegan Protein Mix which is pretty harsh and I mix that with 1/2 cup of large flake oats, 1 tea spoon of cinnamon, 1 hard packed cup of spinach. Looks gross but you only taste the cinnamon and nothing else. Sometimes I added diced pineapple and diced cantelope, I am also…
  • Plateau's happen and they are annoying. Consistancy will pay off. There is no magic number for how many calories to eat a day but if you track everything only try to be in a defecit of 400-100 calories as the tracker will not track the calories you burn after the exercise has been completed. Intense workouts seem to spend…
  • I do not know if someone said it already or not. Quacker oats and 2-4 table spoons of lemon juice from concentrate. Tastes like a hot mess of lemonaid. Lemonaid is refreshing :P Good for digestion. No added extra sugar or calories. Just the basics for giving you energy. If your in the theory of eating extremely healthy at…
  • I am lactose intolerant so I go to walmart and get the 90% protein powder (Soy Isolate Protein Powder). It is a specific brand only sold at walmart. Of all the protein powders this works best for me as it does not cause as much issues.I used powder and water and tastes pretty good. I have been adding lemon juice from…
  • I probably have about the same frame as you. I started january 5th/2012 at 230lbs. 5 foot 7 for height. The plan was simple. Lose 2-3 lbs a week or at least 1 lb minimum. The mission:Walk 1 hour a day on the treadmill, Every Day. 2 days a week perform weight training. Tuesdays and Fridays. Those happen to be my days off. I…
  • Never jump on the scale if you had a high sodium day. the night before jumping on the scale drink lots of water to flush your system. after the morning washroom break before eating anything then weigh yourself.
  • My treats are a little wierd.. I like a cup of brocolli with a big glob of medium or hot salsa. spicy and filling and still has that health benefit. or Brown rice with salsa. or 1 cup of oatmeal with 2 spoon fulls of raspberry jam mixed in.
  • Have 2 spoonfuls of natural peanut butter close to bed. The kind you have to stir with a spoon because its all runny. The protein and the fatty acids will help stop your appetite.
  • I will be getting myself a nice tattoo. I think INK is a good reward and will remind me that a good looking body should have good looking accessories.
  • Challenge Accepted! You can do it. Get some good music lined up. Get on that treadmill or eliptical trainer. Move your legs a little bit. Work out with a smile on your face. Smiling eases tension. Imagine what you will look like when your done. Strive for that goal. Every little mile/kilometre gets you one step closer. If…
  • Standard meal to eat about 1 hour before working out is plain oalmeal. The kind you get in bulk not those little packets. I person only have 1 cup of oatmeal. more then that and I feel like I have too much in my belly. I buy the big bag of Quacker Large flake oats. And with my oatmeal I have my vitamens for the day. So I…
  • Why avoid coffee. I dont get it.. sure its not the best. but if you look at it this way. someone offers you a beer. you say I will have a coffee instead. someone offers you a soda/pop, say you will have a coffee instead. if your worried about how caffiene effects you have decaf. coffee helps prevent bum cancer as per the…
  • I had to cut out booze. It derails me too much. So I tell myself. every 45 workout days, I can go out drinking. usually takes about 2 months to accomplish. so far has been effective as 1 day every 2 months drinking does not derail me as much as drinking every other weekend. I still have a long way to go though. Must shed…
  • To help against evil cravings. When you have them. Have 1-2 spoon fulls of peanut butter. the natural kind. the kind you have to stir. Then if your at home throw in some frozen veggies into the pot to boil. focus on waiting for veggies to be done.. eat veggies. your body now has everything it wanted even if its different…
  • post workout meal for me is 1 cup of oatmeal mixed with soy protein powder. soy seems to taste better then whey. if you are doing 6 meals a day. 2 meals of (1 chicken breast with 1 cup of frozen veggies-steamed) that will give you protein and fiber to fill you up. invest in a george forman grill. those things are amazing.…
  • One thing to keep in mind. Alcohol is a form of poison to the body. Body will focus on breaking down alcohol over food. Its important to try and avoid eating while you have alcohol in your system because that food will mostly just end up turning into fat. And when people drink they usually go for broke and get fatty deep…
  • I am not a champion at getting fit or anything. but I would not log the walking at work as seperate workout sessions because your not actually walking 20+ minutes straight. sure you may be walking 1-2 hours in your shift but those are 2 minutes here. 2 minutes there. not continious to keep your heart rate up. I think thats…
  • Good work people. Diet soda is loaded with sodium. You will feel so much better avoiding that.
