Dealing with compliments
I am 10-months out from RNY and my weight loss is starting to become real obvious to people. I get compliments everywhere I go and it is making me really uncomfortable. I know I should be greatful, but honestly it is really hard for me to handle. I just want to be a normal guy, not known as the guy who lost a ton of…

Crossfit starting point
I am really interested in starting Crossfit and I see where it is for people of all fitness levels but I am looking for reality. Do you need to have at least some degree of fitness before starting this? I don't want to be hurt or look stupid out there. I am still 98 pounds overweight and although I do a good bit of cardio…

Early weight stall
I know, I know...I am not suppose to worry about the scale. But I have been stalled for almost a week now and I am only two weeks out. Is this common? I expected stalls but not this quick. I am sticking to 80 grams of protein a day and following my plan. I have not been exercising yet because I have had a sinus infection…

Kicking up the cardio
Hey brothers, Its been a heck of a few weeks. Getting ready to kick up the cardio and I am kind of dreading it. lol. Anyone doing any circuit training? Care to share routines. I am using the iPhone ap, Gorilla Workout, and LOVING it. I do my time on the treadmill and then do my GW circuit.

Safe Calorie Range
What would you guys consider too few calories to safely lose weight. I am currently eating around 1780 a day (that is what MFP tells me to eat). I also exercise and usually do not use my exercise calories. I don't consistently lose 2 pounds a week like it says I should. Usually about 1 pound to a pound and a half. Should I…

Gorilla Workout
Has anyone done or tried the Gorilla Workout? I am on Level 1, Day 8 and really feeling it. I am just curious who is doing it, if it is effective for you and what you think. In case you are curious, Gorilla Workout is a circuit training iPhone ap. In my opinion it is pretty cool.

Basically, a beta blocker slows your heart rate and reduces blood pressue. My blood pressure is completely normal on the pill. Here is my question, if the drug is slowing my heart…

Workouts
So what are you guys doing for workouts? I am doing Power 90 right now. Its a good program, but I am not burning a lot. I am so envious of these guys that burn 1,000 calories in a workout. I don't have the stamina for that yet.

Power 90 Workout
I would love to do P 90 X, but I know I am not ready for that. I am thinking about starting Power 90, but I am honeslty not sure if I can even handle that. Does anyone have experience with this program - especially guys with a lot of weight to lose. I want to get some opinions before I invest the money. Thanks.
