I can agree that sometimes people need a boost to get things moving off ground zero. I've battled depression for most of my life, which means that I do well for a few days, then terrible for a few,...

I already know my daily calorie count. It wasn't a how-to post. I'm curious what others are losing on.

Haha! Boy, have I been down that road. Yes, eating 900 would accelerate the loss, just like eating nothing would accelerate it even faster. But the odds of of you bingeing skyrocket when you drop...

For those of you who are successfully losing weight, I'd be curious as to what your daily calorie count is (assuming you're keeping track of it)? And how much you're losing per week. I know other...

Problem solved for the moment - I didn't see a weight drop/waist loss today after working my butt off because I went to the doctor yesterday and had a steroid shot (for bug bite inflammation). And,...

At this point I would start calorie-counting everything you put in your mouth if it's not water. Three weeks is long enough to show weight loss; your body can't create energy from air, and if you're...

My stats >> Age 55; 5'10"; 220 lbs. (est.)

I've calorie counted all my food and track it daily (I've calorie counted for years, and I have scales). I workout 4x/wk and treadmill the same for a...

I know this is off-topic, but how do you PM a moderator? My brother isn't getting an email from the "forgot password?" link, even to his spam folder, and he's done it twice now. So I need to get a...

I'm trying to lose (I have about 45 lbs. to go) and I'm trying to balance my daily calories between what's too much and enough to keep from binging. I'm doing ok with around 1500+ calories a day so...

I know that when you workout, you microscopically tear down the muscle. Then afterward, when you take in protein, that muscle is repaired a tad bit bigger. So, just from a purely hypothetical...

He probably believes that overweight people can fall into "starvation mode," too.

You can certainly lose weight, and lots of it, with no exercise. I've seen others post this before. Although exercise *can* burn calories, I think it's more for the mental mindset. I tend to eat...

You mentioned wanting abs, but not really anything else. What about chest, biceps, etc? A generally muscular physique? Great abs on a body that's not particularly muscular isn't going to be...

I'm gauging my progress this go-round with the tape measure and not the scales, and I'm tracking my progress religiously. Either working out or treadmill every day and eating low-carb/low-cal. I know...

I lost a lot of weight a few years back and I noticed pretty clearly that I was treated differently when I was in shape and not fat. Girls now looked me in the eye and smiled instead of immediately...

One of the things that the old pros like Arnold, Zane, Haney, etc, used to repeat was that your body could metabolize around 25-30 grams of protein every 2-3 hours. So, after a workout, when your...

At the moment, my primary focus is on losing weight, hence my emphasis on cardio to help speed up the process wherever I can. I'm currently at 220 and want to get to around 175. I am doing weight...

Due to knee issues, about the only leg exercise I can do without knee twinges is leg extensions, and those with care. So I thought I would try some deadlifts. I figured that although they weren't...

Man, tell me about it. I've hit the gym and dieted hard this past week, and didn't lose a single pound. But I did lose 1/4 in. off my waist. Those scales are suck fickle things.

I keep some paper...

The rotisserie chickens at the supermarkets are pretty economical, and if you eat all of it in one day, it's not going to go bad (unless it's in a hot car). A box of protein bars will last you a...
