I've been asking myself the same thing. I started getting pimples in my journey to lose weight and these weren't like the acne I experienced in high school. These are almost like boils and are very painful and embarrassing, especially when your body is changing and you want to show it off. I'm almost 30 years old. I have…

1999 - star wars episode I: the phantom menace is released in theaters, worst star wars ever.

I use syntha-6 vanilla ice cream at 190 cal per scoop. Not sure if this has anything to do with how I burn calories, but I am at 5100 ft above sea level.

my HRM is set at the correct weight, I just go off of my HRM reads per workout.

I'm doing 30 day shred/Hip Hop abs combo, some days I add in a hike or a jog. I figure it is a way for me to eat back my exercise calories without getting that overly full feeling at the end of the day where I am forcing myself to eat when I am not hungry.

I use BSN Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream powder, a banana, 2-3 strawberries, Greek yogurt, and unsweetened almond milk blended with ice cubes. I look forward to my protein shake post workout so I chug, not gonna lie.

you have very white teeth

sadly, my current ringtone is the thompson twins if you were here. i've decided to go down the aisle on my wedding day with that song!!

couldn't agree more!!

I personally love Syntha-6, it's $21 (when you subscribe) for a 2.9lb on amazon and there are a ton of flavors to choose from! My favorite is Vanilla Ice Cream. http://www.amazon.com/BSN-Syntha-6-Protein-Strawberry-Milkshake/dp/B000GP3FME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332255707&sr=8-1

almonds, I snack on these constantly if I feel the urge to eat. I just make sure not to have more than 3 servings per day.

It's funny you say anxiety attacks and insomnia because I have been experiencing both of those in the last year. I also had an increase in depression where I was on anti-depressants all of last year. I cold turkey'd them at the beginning of February and replaced it with B1 vitamin. Didn't get any side effects whatsoever.

I'll join, I'm two days from starting week 7 and half marathon training!

oh and I'm 29 :wink:

I am a gamer at heart, just haven't found the time here lately to play anything even though there are SOO many I want to be playing right now. Skyrim, Gears 3, MW3, Battlefield 3, Fallout Vegas, to name a some. I feel out of the loop. At the moment I only have a Wii, so no temptation to go and purchase any of these. But if…

I asked for this advice because deep down I wanted to hear exactly what you all have told me. It's nice to have the reassurance and criticism in life. It's one of the main reasons I have grown to love MFP; some things I cannot even ask my friends because they show too much bias. I basically dropped a lot of people over the…

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback. It is a shame we are such a perfect fit, mentally and physically.

Decent is a stretch, don't get me wrong I like the guy.; just don't think he is a NFL QB. I think Peyton will go to the Cardinals more than likely. I am a diehard Saints fan, but I love me some Peyton. Let's just hope for the Colts that Andrew Luck is not a flop.

inferno..in your pants, max hastings

hopefully you have either odells or new belgium in that kegger :)

trick or treat is great

I eat small before I run or workout in the morning. Like Greek God's Plain yogurt. Then I wait 20 to 30 minutes and then hit it. I tried running without eating and my usual time fell short then on days that I did eat. I found myself walking more. I try to work out in the morning, wake up have a glass of ice water to get my…

Besides dieting and watching what you eat, what sort did you exercise regiment look like?

subway bread = foam

i don't use any oil or butter. i just generally just use my george foreman for grilling the meats to rid as much fat as possible and eat a lot of healthy/good for you fats throughout the day.

opened up my diary, didn't realize it was private for those who were asking. i weighed in again today and still up 4lbs...working out for a month consistantly; no alcohol (with the exception of one night and 3 beers) in over 30 days, no eating out everything is home cooked. moving into 3rd week of insanity after tomorrow…

that's my next step, getting a hrm.. i'm trying to estimate as much as possible with how many calories burned but it is hard to do without monitoring your heart rate for sure. i'm not upset about the weight gain because i know a lot of it has to do with gaining muscle, i try to avoid the scale for this reason.

I eat 4 to 5 times a day to where I feel full each time yet I'm always under my calories and I feel like I'm stuffing my face. I don't feel starved at all and if I try to eat more I feel like I'm going to throw up. So I'm not sure how I can reach my calorie goal, any suggestions?

I avoid the scale and haven't taken any measurements, seeing the scale makes me feel bad about my progress so it's something I try to steer clear from. I like to be able to see the results for myself, or especially love it when people notice for me when I am feeling low about how far I've come. I usually lose a lot of…
