Appetite has plummeted
I've read in numerous research and blogs that going LCHF will suppress your appetite..and while I accept it, it has been rather shocking to me over the last couple months. I have basically gone from being miserable and hungry at 1800 daily calories (500 deficit) to some days having a bit of a time to reach 1640 (500…

So I started SL 5x5 today........
I was previously doing a bodyweight circuit 3 times a week...having had two back surgeries, I wanted to "ease" back into lifting (which is what my back doctor told me to do) I told my two sons 24 & 26 that I was gonna start lifting again, and they suggested I come with them. One of my kids lives in an apartment complex…

I'm such a cheapskate!
Ok. I'm a frugal guy, real frugal...I hate to spend money on almost anything. I've been doing a full body weight routine for a couple of months now, to "prepare" my body a little, as I want to start lifting again. (Have been out of the gym for at least 15 years now).... I've checked out programs and want to give the…

Interesting Dilemma
Ok, so let me preface. My company lost a contract I worked on for about 4 years this past September. We got underbid by a competitor and they took over the work. I made the decision then to stay with my company (very large company) because my bosses basically begged me to (I think they thought the new company would fail…

I want to do stronglifts 5x5, however......
Let me preface to say that I am a HUGE proponent to strength training. Anyone that has seen my replies on threads on this board could probably attest to that. However, even those of us that have been "into" fitness, or "into" it in the past (me specifically), sometimes we need a little advice. To be quite frank, I'm afraid…

Legal limit for alcohol
What do ya'll think of the push right now to drop the legal limit from 0.08 to 0.05? I have no vested interest, as I don't drink alcohol at all, just want to hear some opinions.

Having a mini love affair with Potato Salad right now!
I can't help it, it is my absolute favority "summer time" food. I'm just a big sucker for potatoes in general!

I just need to vent!
I simply put, cannot stand pullups. I do not know what it is about that exercise that makes me want to not finish a workout. I've had 2 back surgeries (2004 & 2008)...just recently talked my doctor into letting me get back into some strenuous exercise. I want to do stronglifts 5x5 (will probably start with 3x5 until I'm…

I just HAD to have a burger and fries tonight!
It's Saturday...and I"ve been craving a burger with fries all damn day! So I went to every website I could think of to see how "cheap" calorie wise I could get it. That was a pretty sobering internet search...... For any burger of any size (except the tiny value size stuff), I couldn't find a burger under about 550…

Is there anything wrong with drinking your meals?
I'm just asking because I find I like to drink my breakfast and snacks instead of eating the oatmeal and fruits..... Are there any drawbacks to drinking them instead of eating them? I usually make a shake in the morning of 1/2 cup oats, piece of fruit (de-cored if it is an apple), 2 cups of spinach, and usually 1 scoop of…

I feel a little guilty....
My father-in-law and I are real good friends. I'm kind of the only guy he gets to talk to that shares his financial goals, and has his same mind set about most things. His sons are kinda out there and one of them is a complete leech. Whenever I start calorie-counting, and trying to get into a healthy mode, he suffers from…
