anyone have active person calorie calculator that they know of?  I'm trying to figure out how many calories I've been burning while I've been biking this past week, and from what I'm finding sounds awesome, but I've not seen the weight loss that would coincide with this many calories being burnt and I'm not nearly as hungry as I should be for burning 2000 calories today alone.

so I'm wondering if because I've already in decent shape if I'm burning a good bit less than what its telling me.

See my above post.  From what I have read you really dont know how hard you are working your body unless you know what your heart rate is while you are working out.  You might be fooling yourself into thinking you are doing more than you really are.

 

By the way I did some fasting for weight loss last summer after seeing a program on it on PBS.  It is not a total fast but instead you go one or two days a week only consuming 500 calories on those days.  I averaged 1 1/2 pounds lost for every day I fasted.  I am in my mid 50 s.  The hardest thing about doing the fasting for me was no alcohol.

I'm running my half marathon at 6am tomorrow.   My main goal is to not sh#t my pants.  Wish me luck.

If I wanna bulk up and build muscle, how much should I been running. 

Since HS, I've been running 2-3 miles before every workout. I've been lean, but arms/chest never got huge. Just ripped but still small. 

This past year it was running 4/6/8 miles 3-5 times a week. 

Thought about it and finally realize maybe it's bc I was running too much. Should I just quit running all together? But I just hate the feeling of having to catch my breath after every stairs walk.

I would start running sprints instead of long distances.

keep it up dude, once you start seeing results and make a habit of everything - you'll never go back. this is my progress picture from last year when I lost a bunch of weight.

Nice work to you and @thebigcat ! It's not easy and it's gets harder every year.

Well poo. I guess it's time for me to stop being a fat ass and start posting in this thread.

This and just eat a poo-ton. That was working for me until I quit working out and kept up the eating....

An easy and healthy protein source is Kefir. It's basically a yogurt shake with all sorts of beneficial bacteria and 11g of protein per cup. I'd have some before bed for some long-lasting protein.

I was getting strong and feeling good about dem gainz... then we had a kid and now I have a broken wrist. Guess I will be starting from ground zero in a few months..  I'm going to try and start squatting (probably front squat because of wrist) at least 3 times a week and maybe add some cardio and core.

What happened to you fat f*cks?   I'm running 20 miles a week right now.  I have another half marathon coming up on Sept 10th.
