I'm back, baby!
After a few years away from dieting, and a few too many calories, I'm back on the program, eating 1200/day and hitting the gym 7 days a week. After a back and hip problem a few months ago, I avoided the weight machines, but now it seems to be resolved and I'm hitting maybe one machine every other day, trying to build up my…

Back on the wagon!
I got away from MFP and the daily discipline of watching my calories for a few months, and my weight crept back up by a few pounds. I just got tired of it, and with a lot of traveling to do, it became too much of a chore. I tried the "estimating" approach, but it simply doesn't work for me. It also didn't help when I blew…

fun with mfp
Just for fun, I added 99999 minutes of running and 1000000 (a million) calories burned. Then I clicked Complete This Entry and it said: If every day were like today... You'd weigh -9859.3 lbs in 5 weeks Maybe it should just say... You'd be dead! Okay, I'm getting back to work now! :smile:

My goal's to be healthy and fit, and frankly the flat stomach and…

Lost another pound this week. Some sadistic person put out a bowl of peanut M&Ms at work today, and I have eaten 8 of them (15 cals each). Time was, I would either (1) avoid them completely or (2) eat three handfuls. I love bread. I love cake, and cookies, and an occasional scoop of ice cream. I feel fruit is an essential…

25-pound barbell plate
I have found it a useful exercise to walk into a gym and pick up a 25-pound (11.3 kg) barbell disk. Those things are HEAVY. Now imagine dropping it on your foot. Sit down and balance it on your knee. If you're 25 lbs overweight, then that's basically what you're doing to your knees and feet with every step! The knee in…

Quick grilled chicken over salad
I am living apart from my wife and daughter because of work :( So I'm doing the singles meal lifestyle. I buy these Fresh Express Iceberg Garden Salad Mix bags and Tyson Boneless flash-frozen chicken breasts from BJ's warehouse (probably Costco has something similar), plus Newman's Vinegar and Olive Oil dressing. I got a…
