I see what you mean, that was worded clearly. I appreciate it, now I got more thinking to do, lol

The way I see with calories, whether I am wrong or not, its not to eat it back, but to see how much effort i am putting into the exercises. Sure, I can go by how my muscles feel the next day or...

I am not sure where it says I wasn't taking your advice? I am just asking questions and trying to make sense of all of this and trying to see how accurate the fitbit is, that is all. I did say I felt...

Does this look accurate, a screenshot of my fitbit from yesterday.

I worked out for an hour, lifting and a bit of cardio in between while waiting for the bars to be freed up.

not sure if the...

I've lost 35lbs on a mild form of Keto (Profile by Sanford plan) which involved shakes and such too. I am not 100% strict and I did not exercise during it all. I probably would have lost more if I've...

yea, 1k+ calorie burn workout will NEVER happen with me, lol. I'll be happy to burn an extra 200 calories per workout!

I am glad there's one "one way only" rule, it seems it's certainly not one...

I have a fitbit versa. The burned calories seems off to me, it seems to be higher than it should be? I don't know, I may not be optimistic about it, I'd rather undershoot the calories than rely on...

Hey people.

I have no thyroid. It was removed in 2012 due to cancer. I'm on Armour Thyroid to maintain my levels (Synthroid and Levo just makes me feel like crap). I am 38 years old.

Of course,...

I am usually a lurker, but I have to reply.

Earlier in the thread, you said "I think I am a good person" to someone in a misunderstanding.

REMEMBER THAT.

You ARE a good person if you know...

Question:

With the above recent log of my lifts, figure about 30-45 mins. About how many calories do you think I am burning? 150 calories? Less? (in that span of lifting, not talking about the...

You are correct about the fixed bars!

Eventually I'll go to the "pros", lol.

it says the weights right on the barbells (I assume fixed as you call it?) and my trainer says the larger one that I squat with is 45lbs without weights added.

Excellent replies and encouragement, everyone, I really appreciate it!

It's been nearly a month, going into my 4th week, and I am feeling amazing! Granted, it's still early to see changes in my...

thanks for the replies all!

I am in it for weight loss and strength building. Not muscle building. I think I understand the nutrition aspects of it, calories in/out. I've done keto for 7 months...

Hi all

Last week my personal trainer had me lift barbells, for the first time ever in my life.

I did (Everything 3x 10 each)

squats with 45 lbs
Overhead press 20 lbs
Bentover row 20 lbs...

Either I am blind, or not seeing another topic like this here (I thought there would be!)

anyway, I am pretty big-chested (DD's). Every sports bra I've tried on gives me a single mono-boob and I...

thanks again everyone! I am not worrying so much about food after this, its more of calories in/out. And I am glad to hear shakes aren't required! I'll probably use it for breakfast at least since...

thank you both for the replies! I had a feeling I may be reading too much into the diet along with lifting. So the main thing is about calories (With healthy foods of course)? Much simpler than...

So at 38 years old, I decided I needed to change my life. I've recently lost 35lbs doing keto diet and light exercises. Now I am stuck at my current weight and decided to kick it up a notch. or...

Hi all,

I've been with Profile by Sanford plan for 8 months (and lost 35 lbs on it). it's a more "mild" form of keto without the counting and restrictions. The convenience of having a protein bar...
