Well I came back and by The Gods, the threads are breeding, they have acquired a life of their own!

I just gotta contribute to the nuttiness of this thread: "You go, girl!!"

Well I've gotten a good portion of my friend requests. Maybe its because of my hooter pics though. Few can resist unclothed hooters in the dark, especially when they are suddenly exposed with a flash. ;)

Another week of progress, but weight loss needs to pick up if I'm going to finish -10lbs: Weight down 5.4 lbs Markers are all same or better than last week (weights are thisweek/3rd week/2nd week/starting week, all were expected 10/8/5 sets) Shrugs: 385/385/375/355lb 10/10/8 Pulldown: 320/320/300/290lb 10/10/8 Rows:…

Of course negative calorie foods exist. For this express situation: I made my chicken sautee dish with all the right ingredients, but beef instead of chicken. So add one portion of "chicken sautee", plus one portion of negative chicken breast and one portion of beef and I'm done for my MFP calorie tracker ;) The food…

Well I'm not exactly sure really, mostly I've had people ask me that they read about it here on MFP and it annoyed me so I wanted to emphasize its a load of baloney. That idea gives people the impression they cant make much of any gains until they quit losing, so "I may as well just lose weight first, then work on…

Well I did mis-write in that I meant strength not muscle. I have no proof it is muscle, so I cannot say I know that, you are right in that. The converse is also not known as you make it out to be. However, I do know that in myself and a friend at least, it is repeatable to gain strength on a deficit while exercising hard.…

*fixed Naw its not impossible to gain *strength* while losing weight, that's a somewhat harmful MFP myth for guys like you wanting to do both and then being lead to believe all you can do is hope to lose. It IS sub-optimal, you will not gain as fast for sure, you may only be able to keep the same strength after a bit, and…

Wont make a difference at all for appearance really, I speak not only from the general knowledge but from experience: I do the whole stack on all the ab machines for many reps, and well...I don't have a six pack showing, but I sure can feel it there if I flex! :P That is until your body fat percentage is low enough to let…

Get the Chick-FilA sandwich, if you toss the bread and use lettuce for bread for example, its not even outside of a normal small meal in calories and the protein is great. I work most of what I want to eat into my calories, in fact I don't even necessarily toss the bread out, but if you are worried about it, why not?…

Geeze, are you sure you are looking to make "friends" with this "older people" talk? ;) Not only am I still 24, but I out lift all but two guys in my gym that I know of (a professional steroidally enhanced bodybuilder and the gym owner who appears to take at least test). So there! :)

Erm, trolling post? If not, leaning back like you are will cause your abs to flex and support your weight, like they are. Don't lean back maybe...

Naw I wasn't saying you are fat, you are actually pretty low bodyfat by appearance. I would work on weightlifting for strength increase, not weight loss in your shoes. You have a bit of an atypical upper abdominal muscular ridge in your picture, looks like maybe you are flexing and distending your abdomen compared to your…

Xenomorph, your stomach looks a bit odd, make sure to get your friends a lot of weapons, some surgeons and an enclosed room before you start to feel sick and have a "bursting" feeling... Because its friday for fun responses ya know...serious response is similar to 3dogs's one...body "types" are not really based on how you…

Tally Hall was pretty great. I'll never forget that weird song/vid, and saying "do you want a banana" has never been the same since :)

The real question though, is do you want a banana? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa9KcZ_EWwY

There is some truth to what he said, most people who diss him probably really haven't bought his albums.

Nice pics everyone, love how close you got to that curious ram. I've been doing a lot of short hikes around WA, mostly I-90 corridor hikes so I can fit them into life, but only crappy phone pics if anything, not much to share.

Also, my scale is being a jerk...not sure with the wide fluctuations its doing now, where exactly my weight really is, true loss w/o post workout inflammation and scale error may be a bit more. I need a new battery I think....

Well, doing good after another week, progress is still going slowed weight loss a little bit: Weight down 4.6 lbs Markers all up (weights are thisweek/lastweek/starting, all were expected 10/8/5 sets) Shrugs: 385/375/355lb 10/10/8 Pulldown: 320/300/290lb 10/10/8 Rows: 420/410/380lb 10/10/10 Leg press: 795/745/745lb 10/8/8…

Get Hempler's thick center cut peppered bacon (or not peppered if you dont like pepper), the bacon is so good, 2 slices are 90 cals, but its thick and meaty and 4 slices are more filling than 6 or more of most brands, good on protein too. Plus I don't get that "bacon haziness" I get with some other brands when I eat a lot…

Well, there are lots of opinions, but I think if someone is really interested in the general answers, "abs", cut (or shielded by a protective cover so as not to blind you with their beauty like mine are), are way, way, way down on the list of things a typical guy looks for in a girl...now go on fighting!

Those kinds of messages are to get people off their arses and do something about it. For every one of us that is trying to do something, how many aren't or quit and need additional encouragement? I'm sure more than 10x. So maybe take it as an attempt to improve other's lives and lower your ripoff level cost health…

PF's marketing encourages these discussions, probably engineers the controversy. From what I can tell, there are a few PFs that occasionally do semi-outrageous bannings of a person or a certain type of lift to get in the news. People are outraged, but then its found that this seems to be an isolated case. Things die down,…

You know that would be kinda nice, I just wish we didn't have to sign up for an alternate reality to allow it to work, I'm not sure where the sign up sheet is either, must have left it in the inter dimensional transport earlier. For health, whats in the food can matter a whole lot. But for weight loss its mostly just the…

Yeah, I think we all get what you mean and that you were just being MFP snobbed or argument baited :) Because most know what they meant on a cursory level, they are still useful in describing general body structure appearance types so you don't have to go through a whole mess of descriptors "you are heavier than typical…

Who cares what some say, ignore them. Someone somewhere will always not like some part of almost anything and everything you do. Someone will always be mis-informed and quote misinformation too, doesn't matter that their mouth is moving or their fingers are typing. The important part is: 150 minutes/week of any moderate…

Only 78% of quoted statistics really support the statement the person uses it to support, while 83.5% of statistics are made up on the spot. Including every one in this and quoted post. And I'm not going to tell you my degrees, but they are definitely bigger, tougher and more expensive than yours! By 89.7% I could not do…

Hmmm, sounds like a fun challenge, how creative can we get on punishment exercises? ;)

Great job! :) I'm not there yet, but 3.8lbs down, on my way as planned with no strength loss and some strength gains :)
