"I am tired of just living with it (tonite) and hope I feel the same way again when I wake in the morning." Even if you don't "feel" the same in the morning, even if you don't "feel" like taking the extra effort, even if you don't "feel" like turning down the junk, you MUST do it anyway. you HAVE TO TO GET ANYWHERE. There…

Hi Lou! Welcome! Have you heard of p90x? By following the nutrition program (and obviously getting enough calories so as to not lose weight) you can most certainly lose the body fat you want without compromising size or muscle and you will be cut cut cut!

I'm obsessed with this movie. I find excuses to talk about it lol. I'm currently reading Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma and loving that as well.

What I want every one of you to realize is that this problem is not just willpower. Don't feel guilty and worthless because you don't have "the willpower" that "normal" people have. Honestly, it's an addiction. Especially in America, everything is laden with added sugar and guess what--we DON'T NEED IT! We need no added…

When I run first thing in the morning I can't eat or I will have the runner's sh**s. It's a funny name but it's a horrible feeling when you are running through a neighborhood about to deuce in your pants. I've even run half marathons on an empty stomach (ok, probably not the best idea, but I felt fine so I went with it).…

I was borderline anorexic a couple years ago and weighed about 92 lbs (my "happy" weight is 110). So when I decided to gain weight I started binging (never purging) and have gained up to 120 so that's what I'm struggling with now. Things like stress and loneliness that used to make me not eat now make me binge. it's a…

I just had a huge binge yesterday. All summer I thought I had conquered it, but this past month I've binged 4 times! So while I obviously can't give you advice, I can offer you support. Friend me and we can conquer this together.

Sure, binging for a month is going to change a few things, but the article never addresses what the binge group did after the test. Did they try to lose weight after? Were the others trying to lose weight after? Binging like that causes addictions to high fat and sugar foods that you have to break and that's probably why…

It's truely addicting. Intimidating, yes, but addicting. A good workout is often intimidating, but don't be afraid to take breaks! Have plenty of water on hand. You'll do fiiiine :)

WOW amazing! Congratulations! I just recently started journaling and I'm really enjoying it. I even got a fancy looking journal so I wouldn't have the excuse that I didn't have a journal! It's so fantastic and inspiring that you've found other ways to deal with your feelings than eat. That is so important as so many people…

Congratulations on even entering! Running a 10K as a first race is very impressive! You are more than ready, you'll do fine. I bet you won't even walk except at water breaks. Definitely take your ipod. Unless it's an absolutely huge and prestigious race, you can have it. Most certainly do your warm-up about 30 min prior to…
-
just tell yourself you'll just do the warm up and if you really feel like you can't continue, then go home. But once you get the warm up done, trust me, the guilt of leaving so soon will overpower the will to leave. if that doesn't help, then JUST FREAKING DO IT.

I want to be what I was at the beginning of my freshman year in college...105 lbs. I filled out a size 0 perfectly and my size 2's were comfortably baggy (for lack of a better term). I just threw on whatever clothes and didn't think a thing of it. ahh to be that size again...12ish lbs to go.

Thanks for all the input! I do have a concern about carbs though. I'm very active and need carbs for energy. I usually get these through bread, cereal, and peanut butter. What should I do about carbs now?
-
sorry, need to clarify. I don't mean for salads, just in general. Things like honey, milk, fruit, all have sugars in them, but they are naturally present and not added. For a sugar free diet in general are these things okay?
-
can I have things like honey? Since there is no added sugar in it?

It's true that she has most likely changed a lot since the last time you saw her, but you don't want to spend the rest of your life wondering "what if..." If she shoots you down or is not the same person you once knew, then move on, no harm, no foul. I don't see why you shouldn't just see where it goes. But don't send a…

Wow this is like a movie or something. Very romantic! Since you have not seen or really spoken to this girl in such a long time, she may just feel a bit uncomfortable that you presented her with such information. It is not a big deal, just try to form a friendship first. After developing a friendship if it feels right then…
-
hahaha I'd like to get you and Tony together in a room and any time he tries to use his "Horton wit" you could just shoot him down. Don't get me wrong, I admire the guy, but that would be hysterical.
-
I get the veggie fajitas but only eat what they bring out on the skillet. It usually comes with like 3 plates of crap, but I don't like mexican rice or anything, so I offer that to other people. The skillet of sauteed veggies is huge and very filling. the only problem is they use a ton of oil, but if you don't eat the…
-
Yeah I love that girl! She joined the test group when she turned 40 and she's had like triplets or something. I'm in my 20's so it's motivating when a mom in her 40's is kicking my butt! I also love when he goes up to some guy with blackish hair (i don't remember what workout it's on) and he goes "You run marathons don't…

sometimes our bodies crave things because we are depriving them of some nutrients...for instance, when I'm craving peanut butter like there's no tomorrow, I know I need protein and carbs. If you are craving fried chicken, maybe your body needs protein and the only way you got it before this lifestyle change was via fried…
-
ummm....yeah right Shaun T! You're begging for a lawsuit, buddy! j/k, but sometimes I want to call him up and just be like "you really suck, you know that?" This isn't a quote, but that K-Fed guy with the corn rows needs to just go home. He's the most annoying human being on this planet. Tonia's "intense face" comes in a…

Atta Girl!! No need to continue with the bad habits and just get depressed when you can just jump back on here and get going again! I'm the same as you, the exercise is no problem, but my eating habits need some help. Friend me and we'll motivate eachother!

PB2 is my calorie savior! It is powdered peanut butter, the only ingredients I believe are peanuts, sugar and salt. or something like that. ANYWAY, I digress. For 2 TBSP of the powder it is only 45 calories! And you mix it with water to reconstitute it. It's actually quite good. Not as sweet as JIF but for breakfast this…
-
woohoo! That's what I thought, and that's what I was hoping, but just wanted to clarify
-
ha i know it's ridiculous. you do four ski abs, four push up jacks, four in and out abs, and then four pushups that when you go down you bring your knee up to your shoulder...and you repeat that for 45 seconds. "This is Pam. We call her Blam" Does this sound accidentally racist to anyone else that Tony calls the BLack…
-
I think the whole no-carb thing is just plain bad for you. While eating more protein than carbs with a caloric deficit will help with fat loss, if you are exercising on a regular basis, you NEED carbs in order to have adequate energy for your workouts. I say just try to stay with a general 50/25/25 ratio on your dinner…
-
ha wait till you get to month two. during max interval circuit he just turns mean! "I NEED POW-ER! I NEED YOU TO DIG! DEEPER!" and you have to do a move entitled ski-abs/push-up-jacks/in-and-out-abs/oblique-v-ups. yep, it's one move. rrrough. one of my fav tony quotes is during plyo when you are doing the heisman and he…

they are both crazy intense workout programs by beachbody and they each have like 12 dvds. For some reason when you're working that hard you say random things and/or everything is just funny. so doing these videos cracks me up even though i'm about to collapse lol.
