My Intermittent Fasting Experience
I've been using IF since the middle of July and I've lost 28 lbs., but more importantly my Body Fat % is going down... for years I believed the "Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day" Mantra. But I was never hungry in the morning, so I had to force myself to eat breakfast. This also led to me never being…

Anyone else doing 5X5 & C25K simultaneously?
I just finished my 3rd week of a 5X5 Strength Training Program and just started my 2nd week of the Couch to 5K program... so far it's the C25K that is the toughest challenge... sore shins for days... as of now I'm alternating 90 sec. runs with 2 min. of walking for 20 min.... it seems impossible to me that next week I'll…

Workout 2: 160/6 X 5 sets = 4800…

The Last 10 Pounds
I was just wondering... if the last 10 pounds are always the hardest to lose, would it help if you set bigger goals? ie: if you want to lose 50 lbs. make your goal 60 lbs... but it's probably a mental thing and your brain will know... I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this.

Disappointing Workout
This happened to me at least a few times... I do my workout, but at the end I feel I didn't give it all I had... even though I increased the weight and/or reps for most of the sets, I finish believing I could have given more, that it was a lackluster workout... maybe I didn't work up a sweat, or I'm not fatigued... but the…

Packaged Food Diets?
I was going through peoples diaries looking for food ideas and I am amazed how many people eat nothing but processed foods, microwavable food, and anything that comes in a box or package. It kind of reminds me of when I went vegetarian and the only thing that made me a vegetarian was not eating meat. The list of…

Greetings from Yonkers, NY
Hello, my name is Hans and I started on this fitness journey (again) in September. I came back from Germany at 220 lbs. Too many Beers, Bratwursts, Schnitzels and all that other great German foods, chocolates and cakes. My first goal was to get my weight down to 200 lbs. by New Years, I was at 201lbs. at my last "official"…
