However, Im still pretty "flabby", or skinny-fat. I recently started a new job as a paramedic and barely have time to brush my…

Circuit Machines?
So my gym bought out a small local gym so now there are a lot of new members at my location. The only time I have to workout is in the morning before work. It used to be dead but now there are quite a few people there and they all take up the free weights / cables. I was thinking of switching to a full body circuit workout…

FitBit "Calories Remaining" Doesnt Add Up???
Hi everyone. Ive been using my FitBit for 6 months now and I love it! However, I noticed that its been off... at least I think it is. I have it set so that Im in a deficit of -1000 / day.

Started Lifting... Stopped Losing??
HELP! I started in January basically doing a lot of cardio, eating clean, and counting all my calories. I went from 158 to 143. About 4 weeks ago I started lifting. Full body workouts, three days a week, and light cardio three days a week. When I initially lost the weight, I was at a 1000/day deficit. Since I started…

And I guess thats what Im supposed to be working…

MFP has me set to eat 1200 calories but I'll probably average about 1400 on workout days. Anyways... I was thinking of doing a variation of Stronglifts 5x5. I'd be doing this... Monday.…
