I feel amazing about myself- but by face doesn't get the daily memo along with the 4:15am wake-up call. Still in need of the make-up and mirror- AFTER the gym. :smile:

I would recommend not using "quick add" calories as much as possible. It doesn't help when it comes to tracking anything other than calories. That could throw you off pretty quickly if that option is used frequently.

....also tried the vanilla ice cream flavor. If there was a little smiley that puked, I'd insert it here.

Yup- it's my personal favorite. Double rich chocolate is my favorite (I mix it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk). Mocha cappuccino is also really good.

I've tried a few.... The cake batter and the Banana from Muscle Milk are great, but I'm not thrilled with the profile. Switched to Optimum Nutrition's gold standard- I've tried double rich chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and mocha cappuccino. After awhile the vanilla started tasting like spoiled milk- not the best. My fav is…

Then you should meander your way to my gym sometime and see for yourself.

^it really seems like it should take more weight than he's doing for a face like that....

:laugh: ^^ But seriously, yes. I was doing cardio out the waa-zoo until I educated myself. I was losing more weight then, but I had more to lose. Now I'm watching the last inches go and muscle form now that I pick up heavy things each morning. I also think it's more fun than dancing around the room to salsa music with a…

Also not getting hit on, but there's this older woman who always gets to the gym around the time that I'm ending my workout with HIIT cardio on the treadmill. She always grabs the treadmill that's two down from me, and she walks while staring at me the whole time with this really angry look. I don't know who she is, where…

Ohhhh... That's why. :laugh:

I truly cannot stand it when guys see me going to use a machine/bar/whatever that has a bunch of weight (obviously more than I can lift) and run over and try to take all the weight off for me, like I can't handle it- then waste my time and try to talk to me after they've saved my life from the "big" weights. I'm not a…

^They're referencing DIET soda.

^^^^ :laugh: I've seen a few of those......

I hate doing squats in the mirror. Honestly, I hate doing anything in the mirror at the gym. I look pasty and tired (it's usually between 4 and 5 in the morning and I'm not wearing an ounce of makeup and my hair is *kitten*). But squats are the worst. I turn the other way away from the mirror.

While I agree that reg. & diet sodas aren't good for you, I've continued to drink diet coke through my weight loss and I've lost damn near 30 lbs. Diet and exercise result in weight loss, not drinking water until you drown. While diet sodas aren't helping the cause, they aren't the only culprit.

....wow :huh:

So I see that this post is pretty old, but I Googled "can you drink coffee after using C4" and this post popped up, so I thought it'd be worth a try. I started C4 on Monday- and yes, I like it. But I usually have a cup or two of coffee when I get to work- will drinking coffee after using C4 have effects (on the heart-…

^^^Agreed. I have a small cupcake business and when I make them for family/friends, I use PB2 if there's peanut butter in the recipe. Not one person has ever noticed.

Natural. It tastes like peanuts, honestly. There's not much to it besides that. I love that stuff.

Hi, my name is Brittany.... and I eat carbs. 130-140g/day in fact. I am going to die a slow, early death.

Sprinkle some sliced almonds or some unsalted roasted soy beans. Mix with cinnamon and eat with apples. With strawberries/peaches. Mixed in with a salad to cut the amount of dressing needed (my favorite). LOTS of it in lasagna to make it super creamy [i don't use cheese or ricotta]. =)

I get up at 4:15, I try to be in bed by 9:30. Sometimes 10.

I've been doing it since January... I've learned a few tricks along the way: Sleep in your workout clothes. At least you sports bra and shorts/pants. Keep the rest of your outfit where ever you get ready (for me it's the bathroom) so all you have to do is walk from bed to the bathroom to get ready. I already have my hair…

But still not a fan of Maroon 5. Except for the new song. Darn it.....

^^^Agreed. Now I have a full on crush.

'Specially those dog'done tank tops where you can clearly see their bosoms and underarms. My word.

I never realized that HIIT frustrates the people around you... If that's the case, the cardio bunnies must really hate me every morning after I get done lifting :happy:

Sam Adams Octoberfest. MMMMM. Yuengling makes a pretty good Octoberfest as well. But in the other months of the year, I like Yuengling light and Miller light- calorie friendly. There's a local brewery that makes some pretty awesome micros- miss that about college. Lived right up the street. Least favorite- anything…

I do the same thing when we camp. So, no, I don't think you're crazy. But I do get the "crazy" look when I'm weighing out my oatmeal in the morning at the picnic table while everyone else is downing the bacon and eggs that were cooked in grease over the fire.

...and the candy thing is disgusting. And trying way too hard. Too bad she's wasting her money on that and not investing it in to something worthwhile for your kids.
