you can buy capsaicin capsules, capsaicin is the "hot part" of the chile. I take them in the morning before my workout.

I think you should leave him because, if you have to snoop through his phone, then you don't belong in a relationship.

Forgot to mention, I looked at this post to see how a turtle runs, physically, not time-wise. :bigsmile:

If you've only done steady-state training, then your muscles are doing what they are trained for. You need to developthe quick twitch muscle fibers in your legs. Try mixing in some sprint training and HIIT (high intensity interval training). I had the same issue last year. I read somewhere that a healthy male my age should…

All over. My schedule is constantly changing, so I have to be flexible if I want to get a good workout. I'm a member at Planet Fitness (open 24 hours), so this is where I normally go, right now 6 days a week. My "garage gym" consists of an elliptical machine, stationary bike, free weights and bench with leg extension, and…

Personally, I think it's sexy to see a woman "work"...sweat...grunt...clench teeth..

I know how you feel, I was laid off Feb. 29th myself. I'm an electrician, so I've been doing odd jobs all over to get by. My wife has two girls from a previous relationship with a deadbeat,and he is now 4 months behind on his child support, so add that to my plate. Sorry to hear about the boy-fiend, I mean boyfriend. At…

1) AXE body spray-working out does not require this! and 2) The people who wipe down the equipment before THEY use it but not after. I want to put their face in their @$$ sweat.

I am worried this is happening to me. My wife is a rail but is completely out of shape. I have plenty of shape:laugh: (circles, ovals, etc.), and have been on a mission for the past year to get healthy again. Anytime I get excited about progress (lost weight, new personal record in lifting or running) and try to tell her…

just sent you a request...and welcome to MFP!

^^^ I noticed this, too (props to your hubby). Awesome job! A year has made a huge difference for you, and it shows that, with perseverence, we can do it too! Thanks for sharing.

Great work! Nice to see it CAN be done!

It could be a number of things. When you fill out the info for your calorie calculator, one of the factors is your activity level. You have to be honest here, or your calorie goal will be too high. Also, you mentioned your dietary restrictions, but no exercise. For lasting weight loss, you need to make a change in your…

plus we don't feel the need to complain about something every 30 seconds, maybe there's a link between whining and weight gain...

Eat away! Your rest day is for muscle rebuilding and recuperation, so if your body says "I want food" then feed it. You sound like you have a good handle on where to limit yourself, so you should be able to eat what you want on your rest day. I have read many articles that say to "spike" your calorie intake once a week…

Don't push it if you are having problems, you'll regret it later in life. When I was 18, I tore my ACL in my left knee playing soccer. I was told to stay off of it and let it heal, but I didn't listen. I did even more damage playing on a pickup league (college coach wouldn't let me play) and I lost my scholarship. That was…

Yes, it's "lose", "loose" is the grip this country has on education...

^^^This is great advice. I am 6'1", 228 lbs, deadlift 285. I started lifting a year and a half ago. I was 268 lbs. and could only deadlift 95. I started adding 5 lbs every week until I got to 205. Now I add 10-15 lbs every other week. I also incorporated squats, another excellent compound lift. I do 3 sets of 8 reps for…

I agree with pmkelly, don't know what you're "having the same" of. I can give you my list of protein sources, hope it helps. Edamame Eggs Greek Yogurt Milk (2% or skim) Nuts (pistachios, peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts) Ahi Tuna Canned Tuna (in water, mixed with some kind of relish, no mayo) Whey Powder Chicken (so many…

I'm in VA too, Newport News to be exact. I love MFP! It's nice to get encouraging words from friends in this community, and there are plenty of posts with good information. Make sure you log your meals each day, get into a good fitness schedule, and, most importantly, enjoy yourself! Feel free to add me as a friend.

I LOVED smoking, too, especially with some beers. I smoked for 12 years, a pack and a half a day. I work in construction, so it was easy to keep one lit all day. I started working out the same time I quit smoking. Everytime I had a craving, I would drop and do 10 pushups. My coworkers thought I was crazy until they found…

I've missed enough workouts to know how I'm going to feel if I don't go, I don't do well with disappointing myself. I also know that I won't have to count every freakin' calorie I ingest if I get a good workout in first thing in the morning.

Killing in the Name, Know Your Enemy-Rage Against the Machine Above the Law-Bad Meets Evil 'Til I Collapse, Lose Yourself, 8 Mile, Rabbit Run-Eminem Remember the Name-Fort Minor Broken Pieces-Apocalyptica feat.

It happened to me, too. I read somewhere that they base the machines' calculations on a physically fit adult male, which has more muscle mass, therefore burns more calories doing less work. Now that you have your HRM, you should be good to go. Best of luck!

Depends on the workout, I've made playlists on my ipod for specific ones, and each playlist easily has over 300 songs on it so I don't get burned out. For cardio, I listen to alternative rock (Neon Trees, Phoenix, OneRepublic, Saint Motel, and the like) mixed with what I call jam bands (Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler,…

It does burn more calories to keep your body warm, so working out in the cold is helpful. However, you are more prone to injury when doing rigorous exercise in the cold, since your muscles stay so tight. The difference between the two is pretty minimal (about 2% from what I have read), so I don't really concern myself with…
