Concept2 Forum

Hi Montanaandy, good to hear that all is still going well with you :) I also have a Mac, but it runs too slow to hook up RowPro. The UK forum had some good tips on getting RowPro to work on a dual book Mac. You might to have a peek there. I had my muscle checked out and the doctor didn't seem concer...

Deewen: I understanding where you are coming from in terms of time constraints (lawyer married to a lawyer at the tail end of raising 3 kids now 21 year old, 19 year old, 14 years old and we both worked full time). I also understand focus and goals (college hockey player who completed US undergradu...

So sorry to hear about your knee, Neil. How exactly did it happen?

I hope you have a speedy recovery. Good going on switching gears and selecting another sport so that you can keep active!

Take care, Deborah

Way to go Neil!

My problem is that I really really really like wine...and we have a nice selection to choose from I really like wine too. My husband teases me because one of my favourite wines costs around $5. Well, at least it cost that much when I lived in the USA during the 90's. My husband is a chocoholic, whi...

A complicated issue indeed... I have been building muscle mass very nicely. I see it primarily on my back, shoulders, arms and legs. This has happened with a steady weight loss. Having said that, I do tend to build muscle quite easily, while also losing fat - which apparently doesn't always happen a...

Someone I was speaking to recently said that I wasn't eating enough... ? I find that idea almost impossible (I eat about 1500 cal/day) in order to maintain. 1500 calories a day does sound low. I'm 5ft 4" weight about 122 pounds and eat between 1800-2000 a day. I say roughly, because I don't count m...

I know about the beer and wine! When I drink more it is so much harder to lose. I thought this info, which is taken from the book Volumetrics, by Penn State nutrition and obesity researcher Barbara Rolls, Ph.D, might be of interest... "Our bodies metabolize alcohol in ways that enhance the likeliho...

I don't remember who said it, but one of my favorite quotes has always been, "If there is such a thing as a fountain of youth it is exercise."

Amen to that, Paul!

Definition: Kids - Those who were too young to have been in the service in WWII - this includes those kids who got in by lying about their ages This reminds me of my husband's great grand mother, who said that she had to look after the kids at her nursing home, since she was the oldest member. Thos...

I was pleased to read today (the Amesbury erg marathon thread) that a half a dozen kids (ranging in age from 42 to 70) in the Boston area did an erg marathon earlier today and only two of the six beat my own PB that I set a couple of years ago at 82. Kids? :lol: Well, I'm very impressed! You're obv...

But that said, most of the transformations I have followed have taken place over years though, so take the long view! Oh absolutely! I've being going down slowly since my second child was born. She is now 5 years old in a couple of months. So it's definitely been a gradual process. Weight lost quic...

With good health habits, including exercise, proper diet, and getting enough sleep, we can keep the decline down to a slow gallop, but life does not give us the option to reverse it. Reverse it, no - but as you said, slow down the decline. I'd add, significantly. I reacted to the original post's no...

Funny-till I turned 40, I had no real trouble with losing/staying lean. (I'm 43 now) I'd venture to guess the age thing is starting to become a factor. I beg to differ. Age is but a number. Again, I'll refer to Clarence Bass (www.cbass.com), because he is a wonderful example of how we don't have to...

Now I've been roped in on this thread! Good Luck Neil and good job on the weight loss, training, etc.! :) I'm on a mission myself. Started at 128.3 lbs (58kgs) in October 2008. My goal is around 114-118 lbs (51 - 53 kg). My current weight, as of Saturday, is 121.6 lbs (55.3kg). I don't mind weighing...
