Is there a muscle that doesn't hurt?
Oh yeah, I found one, my face muscles!! :laugh: Well they might hurt someone else:laugh: :sad: I can hardly sit down on the "can" and I am thinking about todays workout, which is upper body again:noway: It was sore yesterday:sad: Ok, so this is supposed to encourage others to do weight-training since I know now that, for…

Online Timer works great!
With the workout I am doing (since I don't have an app device) I need to time my exercises and I found an easy-to-use timer for free here: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/countdown-timer/ It does rings when time is up by the way. I had to "set" and try it to find that out:laugh: denise:drinker: :drinker:

there are so many christian groups but..
I picked this one because I think for me, it is most important to focus on scripture. Although I do need my fellow believers especially now. I have struggled with my faith for, well, many years. I was born-again in 93. I read a devotional by Ray Stedman this a.m. that really described it to a tee. It sounded like me,…

You can be fit but still have too much fat..
Heard this on KLOVE a few days ago and thought it was super interesting. That may be why I see joggers that are still pretty heavy but they are doing great running. The information was about being fit, building muscle before the fat comes off so a person can be in a good metabolic state, something like that they said, but…

Real friends on MFP..yep, they are here:)
I had one tell me to drink more water today and she got on me but yet she did it with love. You see, I happen to believe that most people here on MFP truly care if I am taking good care of my bod. I mean when they make comments like "drink more water" or "eat less salt". And the one some folks seem to hate the most "eat…

How could I not know I had tp stuck in my nose?
:sad: Gads, I don't know if I am getting old or what but I didn't know it was there. I could'a been walkin around the mall or anywhere and still had that stuck there:noway: Oh, and I suppose no one else around here ever blows their nose with tp:laugh: :blushing:

Just because I don't condone anothers behaviour
doesn't mean I don't need to keep caring about them. I am back in my right mind these days about others here and the way they are handling their goals etc. I may not agree but I don't think putting them down or writing posts about deleting them as friends or from the site is helping anyone. I said this once a while back…

this has got to be the most stupid question but..
..I have to ask because my brain won't figure it out. When we use an hrm and get a total calories burned at the end of our workout, do we need to subtract the amount of calories from that amount that we would have burned laying in bed (alone by the way):laugh: give me all the grief you want but it is worth it to figure…

violin playing w/my whine:(
this weight-training is good for me I know that intellectually but I find myself feeling down because I haven't lost any inches and no pounds. Would love to hear from others that faced this or are facing it as they weight-train instead of watching scales. denise

Is there a good calculator for figuring my macros?
I mean someone might recommend something for me? I'm not sure what to set those at. I've been eating my TDEE minus 20% and before that, I was steady eating MFP calcs plus most of my exercise cals. I haven't lost not one inch. I am weight-training now and feel the muscles working, etc. but all the work and no real…

I know lots of folks can't afford protein powder but..
..I found one on sale today and if you have a Grocery Outlet or any type of grocery store that sells a lot of product that is either expired or near expiration, you might want to check yours out. I got a 2 lb jug of Advanced Formula Body Fortress which just happened to be recommended to me by my friend John/EPICSRT.…

What are the healthiest, inexpensive foods?
I was thinking about this last night and realized I am one of the lucky ones that can buy enough, of some of the "best" foods because I am single and only have to buy for me. Plus, even single people struggle to have enough money to buy healthy foods. I am asking for anyone interested, to list some foods that don't cost…

Need feedback on protein # for optimum muscle..
building. I'm not saying for a muscle builder but just for someone that want to build muscle specifically. I've heard that eating "your ideal weight" in protein grams is a good way to go. For me I am only figuring 115 as a goal now, that could change depending on the way my body shapes up. Also what I read says 1 to 1.5…

Oh my aching gluteus maximus
:huh: Weight-training is showing me how weak I am, but not for long:laugh: Share your aches and pains, misery loves company:laugh: And besides, if you don't have any aching muscles you aren't doing it right:grumble: :laugh: SO GET WITH IT! There, that's my encouragement and support for you all today:wink: I'll be crawling…

Who knew "aerobics" aren't the best for cardio?
Wow, the things I am learning are blowing my mind! I didn't think much about the first place I read about this, even though the cardiologist that first used the term "aerobics" says he was wrong now. I don't know how many here know about this but I am seriously considering dropping the aerobics in exchange for all…

130 pound WEINER!!
I think I spelled weiner wrong:blushing: Oh my, I did not realize the difference REAL weight resistance can have on a person til I did some simple bodyweight exercises yesterday:sad: :embarassed: Hep me, somebody hep me, I've exercised and I can't get up:laugh: Wow, I am sore from a few pushups, situps, lunges and squats…

If anyone needs a floor mat for exercise..I found one
at Kmart on sale for 9.99. It is a good one and for those who care, it comes in some perdy colors:laugh: I needed one because although I have nice carpet it is not for exercising I realize now. It's itchy!! A person could also use a blanket though if you can't get a mat right now;) Where there is will, there is a way,…

If anyone wants to weight-train but can't afford gyms..
..or home equipment, I have started a group that was inspired by my reading the book "You Are Your Own Gym" by Mark Lauren. Wow, I am so pumped about it, literally:laugh: and it also is full of guidance on every, healthy aspect of losing fat, gaining muscle and becoming the best you can be, all w/o gyms or equipment. I…

Was "sweating" the start of weight-training..until..
I found out I can really do it all without a gym membership or equipment. I have no money for either so a friend turned me onto a program of weight-training just using my own body!! I guess I best not mention the name of the program because I don't want to be in trouble for advertising but I can say one of our military…

Hi boys and girls;)
I want to go back on the TDEE thing and was figuring my calcs. lastnight. I wanted to get some feedback because I so believe in eating to fuel and eating enough, nutritious foods, but I feel a bit discouraged. I have lost a lb here and there but understand it isn't all about the scale. But..I have not lost any inches at…

To Fuel or not to Fuel
I see this every day on MFP, every day. People who are not losing weight and say they have hit a plateau. I've been there myself. And now, I am learning to lose weight, I have to fuel my body. I think anyone can lose a certain amount, maybe all the weight they want to lose, but I am seeing a lot of people stalled. I think…

You're a woman, would you become involved..
with a man 15 years younger if you were almost 60? I know this has been asked a million times but you guessed it, I've been asked out by a younger guy. So now, what to do. I feel stupid even considering it so feedback welcome, I can take it. I'd love to know of stories where it's worked out between two people with vast age…

Have lost lbs but not inches..
..and wondering if this happened to anyone else that eats as I do which is most or all of my exercise calories? I was also doing the emtlw which I consider I am still doing that, just using the settings mfp gave me as I got confused and just figured to stick with one thing for awhile. I have lost 6 lbs in right about 2…

Deprive yourself..it's the best way
if that is what you think you have to do but it is pretty sad people don't look at all the excellent information on MFP and try it out, at least try it. The good stuff available tells us to eat our caloric needs, it also says have some goodies once in awhile(moderation is way different then deprivation)spend a 1/2 hour…

50+ Buff or on the way?
I get feeling kinda lonely since most of MFP is younger folks. I am 59 and on my way to being buff(ok, I am dreaming of being sexy at 60):laugh: Would love to see how many here are over 50 and working toward their dream of being buff and sexy. And how about what we might do just for us when we reach that goal? "When" I…

No pics and maybe no biggie to some
but..I lost another lb in 10 days. I had gone back to my mfp settings because I got too confused on figuring my own numbers. I had not lost but mainly due to inconsistency with settling on my numbers and sticking to them for more then a couple days. I have been back on mfp figures for 10 days and so has my sis. She has…
