I go to the gym about 3 times a week. I have been gradually building up to enhance my work out, but for right now I am focusing on cardio (usually 30 min. at 4-5 mph on the elliptical, which equates to about a little over 2 miles,) and then to cool down another 30 min on the treadmill (about one mile at 3.3 mph.) I have…

Thanks, I am 5'6. I started out at 280 (just didn't take pics at the start - I was too embarrassed.) I regret not taking more pics at the start. I would have loved to have seen the difference. The only contrast photo I have from around that weight is this one:

Mag citrate is pretty easy to find. If you have a local walmart they sell it there. They have their own brand (equate) and it looks like soda in a little clear glass bottle (if you're looking for the laxative.) They also sell supplements both tab, and liquid:…

I highly reccomend this calculator : http://www.mydreamshape.com/keto-calculator/ Typically speaking though, the exact amount of protein will depend on your caloric intake. Most people do a 65/30/5 ratio or a 60/35/5 one (fat, protein, carb.) Personally, I found 70/25/5 works well for me. As far as going over, I find that…

I usually just fight fire with fire. Don't let them ruin your gaming exp. Or you could just take the high road and /ignore the player :)

Really, there are no anime quite like it. I always thought that Fist of the North Star was kind of similar, and I know we're talking DBZ here, but Hunter X Hunter also used to remind me of DB simply due to the art styles and such too. As far as modern anime goes, I am at a loss for ya lol.

Various pics of progress mashed together. Unfortunately though, I am starting all over again despite getting to 167 or so, because I ended up going through some life changes (excuses, excuses) It took me about a year, granted my goal weight was/is 120-125 so obviously still had a ways to go. As for your question about…

Awesome looking tat! I wish I didn't have a phobia of needles (yea, funny coming from someone who works in health care I know >.< - otherwise I would have gotten a few by now (totally jealous of those who aren't too scared lol !) That said, what other game related tats do you plan on getting?

I have seen so many great anime series. If I had to pick one favorite (note this is a most difficult choice!) it would have to be Elfen Lied.

I absolutely love veggies, it'd be easier to list which veggies I don't like lol (turnips and beets, that's just about it - gross!) That said, I am sure I am not posting anything anyone else hasn't said, but in any event, here is what I do to enhance stuff. 1. Try pan frying your veggies in various types of oils or…

I get drunk pretty quick these days on Keto (we're talking 3 oz, of whiskey, and I am done lol.) That said, as other posters have pointed out - Alcohol gets burned first, but in small amounts it shouldn't hurt. I have always been told whiskey is the least damaging to keto, beer is a "no-no," but not sure about wine (I love…

Absolutely this. I am not new to keto (I have been keto for nearly 2 years on and off - which is why I've rejoined MFP - for more discipline and accountability,) so anyhow, when my co-workers would ask me about how I eat, or why I won't have a cookie (I work in a health care facility so we come by many treats from family…
