i probably started too heavy on bench. i think i have a ways to go everywhere else

Thanks for all the responses and for all the tips

great post

I got a garmin forerunner 210 as a gift and love it. It makes running a lot more fun and the heart rate monitor is excellent. its the best piece of workout equipment that i own.

they carry my size but i am not cool or popular enough to shop there

I enjoyed reading "The Abs Diet." Nothing terribly extreme, just common sense strategies for eating a balanced diet, feeling full, and exercising regularly.

from one Neil W to another, nice work

glucose and ketones

Amen

Muscle does not weigh more than fat

I think the lymph nodes are more concerning if you truly have a mass in your rectum. It looks like your doc put this in the request for the CT, but that the radiologist did not see a mass in the rectum on the scan. I think enlarged retroperitoneal and pelvic nodes would be more concerning in the setting of a mass in the…

There is no question that a starvation state does exist. This occurs when glycogogen stores are depleted, and there are not enough carbohydrates in the diet to provide for the maintenance of blood glucose. Insulin levels drop, glucagon levels rise, and the body generated blood glucose from protein that is either coming in…

Today was day 3 of week one for me, shoulders and arms + ab ripper x. I am sore from head to toe. This is going to be a great 90 days! I have read a lot of differing opinions on yoga x, but I am going to give it a shot tomorrow.

i started today. 1st time. looking forward to it!

if you have severe myoclonus, you might burn calories while falling asleep.

Just to clarify, I was not talking about "starvation mode" in the sense that people use the term on this message board. I was talking about a physiologic starvation state. That is what is so cool about the atkins diet, is it mimics a starvation state despite food consuption. (lack of carbs -- > decreased insulin production…

i'm sure that i'm just stating points that you guys already know, but what makes the atkins diet interesting is that by depriving the body of carbohydrates, you drive the body into a starvation state - generating blood glucose from protien and energy from fat stores instead of from dietary carbs - i.e. ketogenesis. as it…

you can get a tanita scale on amazon.com for about 40 bucks that will measure body fat percentage. that's what i have.

i like these forums because everyone on here is as obsessed with their diet and exercise as i am. and also, i'm getting ready to start this HCG thing. . . who's in?!?

I used my body fat percentage to come up with my goal weight. I took my weight and body fat percentage using a scale with a BIA caliper. I subtracted my weight in fat from my total weight to figure out what my lean body mass is; then I figured up what I would weigh with 10% body fat (by just multiplying my lean body mass…

whenever i crave something that is nutritionally disgusting i punch it in my iphone and see how much it would wreck my goals for the day. that usually is discouragement enough to turn down the junk food. usually. alternatively you can harrass and alienate those around you for their poor choices, until they have no choice…

want to echo what ering said. i think this forum is a great resource for a lot of questions, but the only person you should trust with this questions is your OB/Gyn. he or she will be your pregnancy expert

i think sexy nurse or sexy nascar girl are both great options

sleep apnea can be a cause of excessive daytime somnolence as well. sounds like a trip to your primary care physician would be a good idea if you are that sleepy.

SHICEASC = so hungry i could eat a small child

Warning: if you go on a juice fast with screwdrivers you are going to stay hammered. this is not a myth. you will be drunk.

i love the bench press. i hate working out my legs, but i still man up and do some squats

I have the eat this not that handbook and like it, but the same people from men's health did the 'abs diet' which I think is a great read for nutrition/exercise tips. The whole plan is centered around strategies to help you stick with your nutrition plan, eat healthy foods, and be consistent. I might not recommend buying…

how do you make changes to these daily goals? i can't seem to find that anywhere in the settings. thanks

i am a grown man with a post-graduate degree, and i still can't use its and it's properly. its a disease
