  • Beer! My favorite! 1. Belhaven Sottish Ale (absolutely dreamy, try it if you've never had it, you'll love it. No, in fact, don't try it because it's hard enough to find as it is! If you all go buy it then I will never find it). 2. Young's Double Chocolate Stout 3. Planet Porter - Boulder Beer 4. TenFidy - Oscar Blues 5.…
  • I used it. You have to be careful to put it on correctly the first time you put it down, pulling it up and expecting it to restick is virtually impossible. Anyway, check youtube and the KT tape website for how to apply it for what ails you. I didn't have any success at all with it but I was having such horrible knee pain I…
  • Do you understand how percentages work?
  • [/quote] Actually, the most accurate method is currently the DEXA body scan, but those aren't available everywhere and are expensive. They're more accurate than any of the above, though. [/quote] True. I don't have that in my area so I blanked it.
  • Anything that form fits you to an average curve is not going to work for everyone (thus, outliers). I wasn't implying that it would, just one way to determine. As you can see from the results I have posted, it may or may not be accurate for me depending on which one you think is most correct.
  • There are several ways to figure it out: 1. Military Bf Guideline Measurements - Similar to BMI, this form fits your dimensions into a BF curve. 2. A scale with impedence - I recommend Tanita, after a lot of research, this was the winner 3. Calipers - accuracy is better by a trained professional, but if you are careful to…
  • Sex: F Age: 30 Weight: 135.6 (21% BF) Height: 5'4" How many calories you NET per day: 1420 How many times per week you exercise w/ minutes: 7 x 60 minutes
  • Everyone (termed loosely) on here says you can't build muscle while losing fat. Though I've seen contestants on The Biggest Loser do it all the time, so I believe it is possible.
  • I've been running for like 4 or 5 years and the first mile sucks every single time. Whether I'm running 2 miles or 9 miles. The first mile sucks and it's all I can do not to just turn around and go home. :o) My top speed in a 5K is 8:23/mile. My average is about 9:30/mile on just a lazy Saturday run.
  • Cycling helps too.
  • My pet peeve - and I have come close to actually telling this individual to knock it off - is this guy that uses the equipment incorrectly and is going to break it. For example, we have these elliptical-like steppers and he lifts himself off the pedals to make it go fast (and it's obviously ineffective way to work out) and…
  • My running heart rate is 135bpm at 9ish minute mile. If I get near 150-160, I start to feel a little woozy. And over 160, I have to slow down soon or I will probably pass out. My RHR is higher than it used to be at 55bpm. It used to be 38bpm. I get cold easily. :smile:
  • My advice is to start doing boxing, kick-boxing, or self-defence. There is nothing more empowering or self-esteem building then being able to kick the *kitten* out off anyone that crosses your path. :happy:
  • So you really think that the food you JUST ingested is what fuels your workout? Like it immediately goes from your mouth to your muscles? Interesting. You don't think you could have calories (also known as potential energy) already in your body that you can use as fuel and then replace that fuel with food which will turn…
  • Bump, any recipes?
  • Bump, I'd like some too.
  • If this site doesn't have it, I just google search "Apple Nutrition" or "Subway Wheat Bread nutrition" for example and I always come up with something.
  • Thanks - I was able to find a place through this website!
  • I keep my dairy open and look at others, not to get a pat on the back or constructive criticism but to say "hey, this is what I eat (as in Calories and Macronutrients) and this is how I eat it (like the good fuel sources along with the occasional bad - it has to be realistic)." I get bored with snacks or breakfast options…
  • I agree with Jugie, I think you need some electrolytes during your lifting. Also, I think your lifting routine is engaging too many muscle groups in one work out to go as hard as you are going - and it's depleting all your resources. You might want to try a Bi's/Chest one day, Tri's/Back another, Shoulders/Legs another.…
  • News flash - eating fat does not make you fat.
  • Originally from the westside of Cleveland, OH, now I live in Boulder, CO. Movin' on up. :smile:
  • Your bum will get tougher and you'll get used to it. I can now mountain bike with a hard tail (no rear shock) in regular shorts without any discomfort.
  • I've had it, and I love having it done. I highly recommend it. There are actually two kinds of laser correction surgery Lasik or PRK. Not to be too graphic, but Lasik, they cut a "flap" on your eye (like the bulging part where your cornea is) and they pull it back, and then place it back when the surgery is complete. PRK…
  • Boxing. It works your tri's and bi's. Also your lats and core for added bonus.
  • I just perused your diary - you have the same calorie goal as me. You can look through my diary for other ideas if you want. Be warned, I exercise everyday but I do not add or "eat back" my exercise calories though.
  • Lots of posts on this, but here are some: cottage cheese greek yogurt nuts all natural peanut butter eggs
  • This is correct. Work = energy expenditure = kilocalories burned. Not duration, not speed. So if you walk a mile or run a mile, you should burn about the same amount of calories. Except if you run, you will do it a lot faster!
  • Where did you get them? They look great and I need new shorts!
