Your doctor is correct. It's a sprain or tear. This happened to me last year on a full squat, so it's unsurprising to hear you were doing squat thrusts at the time. The fastest way out of this setback will be a few days of R.I.C.E. Which stands for Rest, Ice Compression (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, as often as you can),…

Eat less, exercise more, or both. Also, is that a recent photo? I realize it's a retouched portrait but you look awesome. You might be done dieting.

"Results" from tea? Does not compute. When people talk about the weight loss benefits of a caffeinated drink, they mean... 1. It gives you more energy to work out, and 2. It makes you poop more Now, both of those are terrific, but there's no tea that alone makes weight loss happen.

To lose weight you need to exercise more, or eat less. You're already exercising plenty, so....

Ignore your fad-dieting friends. 1. Eat normally for two weeks, but diligently track your calorie intake and body weight. 2. Total up all your calories during that time period. 3. If you lost weight, add pounds lost x 3500 to the calorie total. If you gain weight subtract pounds lost x3500 from the total. 4. Divide the…

I know this sounds crazy but Google "black bean brownies."

People, there is an easier way. 1. Ignore online calculators. 2. Eat normally for two weeks, but diligently track your calorie intake and body weight. 3. Total up all your calories during that time period. 4. If you lost weight, add pounds lost x 3500 to the calorie total. If you gain weight subtract pounds lost x3500 from…

This is very common. The itch is not your skin but actually blood filling up tiny capillaries in your body which have "deflated" after disuse or inactivity. This sensation will disappear as your fitness increases.

How about neither. Ignore online calculators and do the following... 1. Eat normally for two weeks, but diligently track your calorie intake and body weight. 2. Total up all your calories during that time period. 3. If you lost weight, add pounds lost x 3500 to the calorie total. If you gain weight subtract pounds lost…

For cellulite? Diet.

You've got to respect this guy's enthusiasm, but please people, do not eat this stuff. It is not food. The alternative to peanut butter is not chemicals, it is less peanut butter.

The real question is, "is it safe to waste money on scientifically unsubstantiated supplements, instead of say...saving for that baby's college fund?"

Hi! Do this: 1. Ignore the MFP calculator. 2. Eat normally for two weeks, but diligently track your calorie intake and body weight. 3. Total up all your calories during that time period. 4. If you lost weight, add pounds lost x 3500 to the calorie total. If you gain weight subtract pounds lost x3500 from the total. 5.…

Looked at your pictures and diary. You appear to be a hot weightlifter who eats a ton of protein. I fail to see a problem here.

Hi qb101, Your choices are fine, worst thing on your list is "healthy crackers." If you want to lose weight, eat less. Or exercise more. Or both.

Bacon. And eat those yolks.

Let's use math. You went over your goal by 1000 calories. There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. So assuming the way our bodies handle nutrition is a perfect system (it isn't), you went over your goal by the equivalent of 0.28 pounds. Not so bad really. But there's more... Assuming you're eating at a 500 calorie…

Hi there. Are you weighing yourself once per week or everyday? Tips for the scale... - Weigh yourself everyday - Weigh in at the same time everyday (I like to do it right after waking up) - Wear the same clothes every time - Average all seven values from week to week to come up with a more accurate number

That may not be rust. Bare steel bars will age to a tan/green patina, this is normal and will not impact grip or performance.

Easy one. Try Target. I keep this one on my desk at work... http://www.target.com/p/Taylor-Mechanical-Food-Scale-White/-/A-13560443#reviews-and-ratings

Barbells are generally not something you'll want to skimp on. That being said, the B & R bar is considered an excellent value and I'm very happy with mine. Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but here's a URL... http://www.roguefitness.com/burgener-rippetoe-men-s-bar.php

Couch25K is one of the most popular and frequently suggested programs for rank novice athletic training, and also one of the most effective. Highly recommended.

You would need a deficit of 1500 calories per day to lose 30 pounds in 10 weeks. I would not recommend such aggressive weight loss.

*You're And...yes? We can go with something more recent if that peels your banana. Studies show that your metabolism doesn't start to slow until 60 - 96 hours of fasting. And even then only by 8%. Here's an extremely well-sourced article on the topic... http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myths-debunked.html I…

"Starvation mode" is one of the oldest fitness myths. It can be traced back to the Minnesota Starvation Experiment in which subjects were literally fed only enough to survive. As a result, yes, their bodies broke down protein and bone for emergency sustenance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment…

If you're interested in serious weight training without weights, that...could be a problem. :huh: But in the meantime, here's a well respected body weight program that could be what you're looking for... http://www.dragondoor.com/b41/
