I try to always eat back at least half of my calories if not all. I've been working with a dietician/trainer and I'm still to low on calories. I have a really intense training schedule right now and I've lost 6.9 lbs of muscle over the last six weeks. :( Dietician/Trainer says I'm still not eating enough and I sometimes…

I ran as part of a relay team for a Spartan Beast. I did 2 of 3 legs and it was awesome. There's 6 of us trying for the Spartan Trifecta next year. Sprint/Super/Beast! It'll be awesome!

I swim a lot and 1,000 calories in an hour is totally plausible depending on some factors. Things that can drive your calorie burn up can include but not limited to: Higher Body weight Higher Body fat Total effort Overall fitness level Skill Remember that Breast stroke while often used as a restive stroke is also a…

Girls using the medicine balls or doing plyometrics. Yoga class. ;) An empty lap lane. My kids getting into the pool to do laps with me.

You are truly an inspiration to many. Fantastic job. I know that has to feel great!

Pain is weakness leaving the body. I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done. Greatness isn't born, Greatness is made. Be Great!

"I don't stop when I'm tired. I stop when I'm done." "Pain is weakness leaving the body." "Are you hurt or are you injured? If you're not injured you better push through it." "The more you sweat in peace time the less you bleed in war time." I don't know that this is a saying but its something that goes through my mind…

First figure out what your max heart rate is and then work within a percentage of your max. The easiest and best known method to calculate your maximum heart rate (MHR) is to use the formula •MHR = 220 - Age http://www.brianmac.co.uk/maxhr.htm (Has a lot of different calculators for MHR. Here is a quick calculator to…

^^ Definitely this. I use it in the pool 4-6 days a week, plus on running/biking/hiking. I even wore it through 3.5 hrs of Spartan Beast and it works perfect! I got mine from http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/90039173.html which was cheaper then Amazon or eBay or anywhere else for that matter.

Thanks! I spent the next day, eating, drinking and rotating in and out of a hot tub... Much needed relaxation!

Thanks! :) It was such a fun experience.

I second Optimum Nutrition - Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein - Double Rich Chocolate as a good choice. Great flavor! I get my supplements from www.bodybuilding.com as its quick and cheaper in my experience. Great articles in their forums as well.

^^ This. I had set a goal of 215 and then I had my BF% checked and found out I had 190 lbs of Lean Mass. I have since modified my goal to 15% BF instead of a weight. It's measurable and reasonable and its not scale dependent.

Definitely sounds right. Probably need to increase your intake if that's a regular exercise burn for you. :)

I have permanent Peroneal tendonitis due to an ankle injury and it definitely sounds like what could be going on. Your plan for ice and rest sounds like a great plan. Also try tracing out the ABC's with your Big Toe a couple times a day. It ensures complete movement of the foot which will actually help with any swelling…

^^^^This. Great job everybody! Keep up your hard work.

They both look great on you! I prefer the style on the left but the pattern of the right. /shrug Fantastic abs!

Imagine my surprise when I showed up for my appointment. He really did a fantastic job. He actually mentioned injuries that I'd had years before. "He could just tell." Pretty amazing experience.

Yes we do. ;)

At the same time? That could get interesting.... :P

I've had a few and most the time its not a problem. I did pitch a tent once and that's when the massage went high on the thigh. She just pretended like nothing was going on... as did I. :) I saw somebody mention preferring men masseurs. I don't know if I prefer them but they do a hella good job. During a couple massage my…

I'll have to take a leg picture here soon. :) Until then this is what I have.

I'm going to use a quote I see often on MFP to express my opinion... "Skinny makes you look good with clothes on, Fit makes you look good Naked." I'm definitely a fan of the fit over the skinny. Just my opinion. :)

I really enjoy Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard in Chocolate. Its even tasty when mixed with water. I purchase most my supplements from www.bodybuilding.com. Excellent prices and customer service.

I have an EVO 4G and love it. My buddy has the new Galaxy Nexus with T-mobile and freaking loves it.... He never shuts up about how much loves it. :P

Hello from Utah, US. Welcome to the forums.

I love swimming. I swim 4-6 days a week anywhere from 1/2 mile to recently an all time longest of 3 miles non-stop freestyle. On my long swim days I average between 01:00 - 01:01 per lap on a 25 yd pool... Not super fast but pretty consistent and I'm exhausted. :) If you are swimming 2k freestyle non-stop and don't feel…

Nothing yet. But I did have a donut for the first time in a really long time yesterday. I ate it with my 6 egg white omelette so it balances out right? :)

They fixed your tags in the quote. :) And great job! Keep it up.

Lots of good suggestions. I saw Flaxseed already but let me point out it has a lot of fiber and protein. Beans, specifically Black Beans are very tasty and have good quantities of fiber and protein.
