My girlfriend cost $100 and it needs an air pump to work!! She's real! :love: :love:

Stop thinking food is a reward or that it's a pleasure thing. Food has no emotions. It's fuel.

I thought people did this for fun? You got until June. I would say a combo of HIIT and running should do.

I eat almost the same everyday aside from weekends. Food is fuel as far as I am concerned. If I am in one of my exploratory adventure around the world, then it's a different story. But at home, I don't get any love back from food. Just fuel. I don't eat snickers though.

I guess eating half a pizza was a bad idea :noway:

Other than explanations, does anyone have any real science or studies that show that the so called "starvation mode" exists? And not to be confused with Metabolic Damage.

What is clean eating?

First time I saw my ABS, I remember everything being loose. Now it's tighter. A lot tighter but it took almost a year. And my AB muscles grew a bit so that helped. But yeah, pretty soft at first till your skin adjusts.

It's February. The "New Resolution's Hype" is over. Only those who are committed will remain. On a good note, if you go to a gym, now it's back to normal. I workout at home so it doesn't really affect me in any way. Although, I wish people will realize that it took them years to get out of shape, it will take a little more…

IF works for some and sometimes it doesn't. You don't have to do IF to lose body fat. Wine is not bad if you control it. If you have it everyday, not too bad either. But again, are we talking one glass or a bottle a day?

I use whey protein to supplement protein. Here is my recipe. 8 ounces of water and 1 scoop. Shake and drink. The only other thing I do sometimes is whey and banana, blend.

Not sure why it went up and down but weight gain/loss is not linear.

God, I love my haircut!

I think Jay is right. People believe in diets rather than long term changes. Sustainable long term changes will keep the weight off. I also think the ridiculous "goal/ideal weight" mentality is another huge problem! I have said before bf% and how you look in the mirror matters. Weight is irrelevant.

You don't need targeted workouts for that. To lose the mid section you just need to lose weight. Mid section is the last to go though.

LMAO. Im not too far man. 155 lbs

I also have gotten the impression that many women don't like 6-pack abs because they think that those that have them spend hours at the gym and a few more looking at themselves in the mirror. Of course, that is not true. All it takes is some commitment and good nutrition and bam. But many still think you have to spend…

As much as we want to think that women care about 6-packs, it is my experience that most of them don't. I have met some who go crazy over that stuff, but I gotta say that most of the ones I've met and known don't care. Unless they lie, but I am not a mind reader so I go by their opinions.

Yep, he's 100% correct on my book. By the way, the last person I would ask about my weight is my fat doctor.

Read my previous post. I know you want to do both. I was arguing that it is possible to do both and that one should not keep you from the other. Perhaps, I didn't explain myself.

Newsflash: If dating and leading a healthy life is a problem, the problem is not the DATING. It's you. Saying you can't have both is just an excuse to get off the wagon. Now go out there and have fun and stay within your goals.

Too late. Someone did right before you posted. People are too much sometimes... lol.

NO mi lady. DOMS is normal. I experience it DAILY with different parts of my body of course! You know your body. If it's soreness then hit the gym. If it's injury like pain, rest.

This. I would like to add that it is possible but it's close to impossible for the most part. Or maybe I should say it's not easy. Let's also make a distinction between GAINING MUSCLE and LOSING FAT. Many people think that they are gaining muscle but in reality, they are losing fat. Getting leaner will make you look…

I love PINK! Love it! :love:

I need a new bike!

Looks like...

Some people hate the truth but thanks for sharing. This is by far one of the best threads I have read in a long time on these forums. It really does come down to that. I couldn't agree more. There are some obsessed people on MFP.

You are cheating on me with the guy on your profile pic! :p

Interesting post. My girlfriend is super lean and in great shape. She workouts daily and lifts weights. She's only 106 lbs. mostly muscle. She never counts calories and she pretty much fits what you are describing. I am somewhat the same way too. I count calories because I just can't eat enough just by going with "I'm…
