  • It will make it equal 100% so you only need to change 2/3 because the third factor has no other option in order for it to equate to 100.
  • i know this post is a few months old, but I'm now starting my 3rd week of Hitchfit! I heard about it through a colleague who did it the lose weight then the bikini model and she even placed top 5 in her 2nd competition! I'm doing the lose weight feel great / vegetarian version. It's definitely a push. Goodbye only working…
  • awesome idea. I will have to try it! BUMP!
  • Hi, I'm from Long Island, but my boyfriend lives in Stafford! We are thinking about doing the Tough Mudder next year as well! Have you done any of the Warrior Dashes? I'm thinking I should probably start there. I figured after a year I should be more physically prepared and even more importantly, mentally prepared
  • YES YES and YES! 2. I also agree with the forums not accessible through the phone app. It makes me sad. 3. I wish they would go through and delete the 500 different versions of the same item in the database. It takes FOREVER to look through it all and decide which one is right and which is not, and then have a separate…
  • Make sure you take body measurements because as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. And you might be losing fat but the scale won't change that much. ALSO, I just found this out, but make sure you are constantly readjusting your goals every few pounds lost because MFP does not reduce your calorie goals for you to…
  • Wow! Thank you! This has really been helpful! And I do keep track of measurements. I'm really just focused on losing fat more than whatever the scale says. I've always been "average" and in pretty good shape. But I know I can be in much better shape! That's a wildly different number. My HRM tracks calories so I just always…
  • I'm 5'5" and It's set for 1lb a week loss. I've weighed 150-155 for the last 8 years, but recently gained a few extra due to graduation/work stress. So I am currently 157. I'm looking to be 140 for first huge goal then maybe down to 130 depending on how much % fat I have left then.
  • Just based on a lot of articles I've read, eating more often, though the same amount of calories, is better because it keeps your metabolism steady instead of peaks and drops from not eating consistently. I'll open my diary but then that opens up a lot more questions. 1 I am 99.9% percent pescetarian (I eat meat on rare…
  • I'm in the same range... looking to lose like 20 lbs... then maybe another 10 depending on how my body is doing then.. All the 50, 100+ plus stories are amazing, but we all know those last 10-20 lbs are the hardest to lose!
  • How long did it take of doing weights before you saw any real differences? I was having the same problem so I started (again) with weight lifting at the beginning of the year and try for 2-4 weight sessions a week depending on if I have time between and school. I feel like there is no real differences, nor does the…
  • dark chocolate is perfectly fine if you count for it! I'm currently reading a book about weight training for women and they advice a 40/30/30 split that seems to over the years has been effective for people. 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fats. But that's just a general guess. Everyones body is different so you have to eat…
  • I've had some serious boughts of eczema ever since I was a kid. I've learned over time that too much dairy REALLY makes my eczema act up. I recently went to an allergist to see if maybe there was something I was eating that would cause my eczema to flair up when I wasn't consuming dairy. Well, I still don't know, BUT the…
  • I agree with pretty much all of the girls here. Strong arms make you feel safe and are very sexy to grab onto. BUT it's not cool when I guy walks around looking like he's got 2 balloons under his arms because he can't put his arms down. But I've also dated a guy with a VERY strong upper body and a beer gut. Also not cool.…
  • I've been a vegetarian for 3.5 years now. I'm just stating that as a fact. BUT I don't understand why this topic has to be an all out brawl. YES I am tired of all the stupid questions about "how do I live without meat" and comments like, "you're crazy" but here's my 2 cense: is the point of this thread to try and CONVINCE…
  • Cynthia - I LOVE Morningstar's black bean burgers.. my dinner for tonight (sitting in class) is a pb and banana sandwich, and I live off whey protein after my workouts, and greek yogurt is the best! I think the problem is.. how many times a day and how often can I eat those things.. I think I've been eating this way for so…
  • i've seen in the newspapers before and in plenty of articles that being "vegetarian" I.E not frequently eating meat... can decrease risks of some cancers and heart disease.. but I think your genetics speak louder. Being a vegetarian is "healthier" in that that most meat is not as clean as we think it is.. either from the…
  • in my opinion.. eat whatever you want.. or don't want.. I'm a "pescetarian" because I'm a vegetarian that eats fish. Personally, I don't care to be specific and to be judged by others.. most people won't care, but basically people have assumptions if you label yourself. if you want to cut out all meat but just keep chicken…
  • if you eat too little, you'll body will be starving EVEN IF you don't feel hungry at all.. so yes by eating too little you can actually make losing weight more difficult because your body will hold on to everything you eat since it isn't getting enough food.. I don't know where that fine line is.. it's different for…
  • Woah so far behind already! To answer Meags QOTD: for fun date night that doesn't involve food/drinking (which is difficult because every one of my dates do) But taylor and I like to play wii together.. we've made up a few wii drinking games :blushing: but we don't always drink! Lol Meag: I’m sorry to hear things with…
  • I HATE when people leave the heaviest amount of weights possible on the machines.. I have to sit there and unload 90+ lbs from the bench press.. or the squat rack! I spend so much time lugging around 45lbs weights because these jerks can't clean up after themselves! That's not a valuable use of my time at the gym when I…
  • YES YES AND YES!!!! And I look how all the guys flock to her even though she's lifting 5 lbs and I'm lifting 20. I'm no there to pick up dates, but guys.. seriously? You think she's skinny because she's healthy and fit.. it's called good genes.:grumble:
  • It's kind of hard to read.. with the background being crinkly it's difficult to read the words
  • Meghan - only take those cheat days if you want them. Never feel forced to eat stuff you don't want to. I hope you're feeling better, and good luck on your model! Guam - I LOVE pumpkin pancakes...an awesome breakfast to bond with the kids. Line dancing always looks like so much fun, and I count that as a huge win! I'm sure…
