having had some serious ankle stability issues in the past, i did have the benefit of physical therapy. I can say that the strength training and losing weight did more to resolve my issues that the PT. you shouldn't just jump into a rehab or strength program, especially if you have underlying problems that will complicate…

i am usually tender somewhere all the time. my most common point is under my left scapula...one part of the muscle. it hurts sooooooo good to just push on it...i even got a special llittle s-shaped device with knobs on each end so i can just drive and lean back and ahhhhhhh :) i guess i have just been able to ignore the…

that's an amazing amount of cardio exercise. every day? wow. and you would lose 10 pounds in 5 days? not to be argumentative, but come on. where is your strength program? and your diary isn't public so what does your nutrition look like? how do you define "cheat" days? get you some barbells and dumbbells and get yourself…

welcome all of you who have joined in the recent weeks (and months!) glad to have you here. i'll have to update my info: i'm off the 6 days a week cycles. now i lift 3 days a week and do LISS 3-4 times a week, mostly for the dog's sake. I've also been on the leangains/intermittant fasting protocol for a few weeks and…

she didn't say 3 hours...she said 3 miles. and cleanses? :0

its a marathon, not a sprint. you haven't given us very much information with which to make suggestions, nor did you describe your "weightlifting" sessions. how much you lifting and how often? do you know your BMR/TDEE? if you get a good strength program going, look into some carb cycling: more carbs and less fat grams on…

whey is a component of dairy foods and comes in a powdered form :whey powder. you can get it unflavored, but to me it tastes like old milk...not sour...just old. most prepackaged protein powders and mixed shakes are flavored, but brands differ widely in quality of taste and texture. i use gnc's AMP wheybolic 60...its got a…

i went through the same thing with an inverted leg press machine a while ago. i was only bringing it halfway back, and not getting anywhere near a decent depth. she finally convinced me she did indeed "have it" and so i tried to let the plate come all the way down. holy cow. :) trust. is a good thing

lawls. **** 'em. oops. did i say that out loud :)

stop with the crunches, they won't really help you and your time will be better spent in the weights section. do complex moves: sqauts definitely and deadlifts, bench presses in you can. overhead presses with the bar, walking lunges (those will shape up your legs and butt in no time!), side lateral raises with dumbbells,…

lol. no.

who told you that? and how many calories are you increasing? if you are under your bmr, you're not gonna gain weight. truly.

Lol a study published in 1992? For reals? And the original article was published 10 years ago. Ketones aren’t “toxic” and a ketogenic diets isn’t “high in protein”. It is high in fats and very low in carbohydrates, which forces your body use the ketones that are created by metabolizing fat and protein as fuel, instead of…

yup. mine is scheduled already....i lost close to 90 pounds and kept it off for about 18 months now and do competitive figure shows. i love how i look in clothes, but when you are wearing only about 4 ounces of velvet onstage, its that extra loose skin that keeps me from winning and i want it gone. not that expensive, all…

mmmm looks like 3 all-over workouts. if you are a true beginner, as in never have lifted before, i would pick a few standard exercises and concentrate on getting the form down. the big 3 are deadlifts, squats and bench press and form in all 3 are imperative in order to progress weight-wise and to prevent injury. they are…

if you do bench, deads and squats with the bar, you won't really have to worry too much about your core, because with all three complex exercises you are working them adequately. that being said, you are heavy on the chest, light on the shoulders and have no legwork at all. the back muscles are a major group and although…

lol. boys ARE dumb. Plus, they can't read minds as well as we can :). Like a couple of other posters have already said, I'd just out and out ask him "hey, you see that scale pic? what yu think?" if yu do it over text you will most likely get some sort of emoticon back, in person you might not get the over-the top reaction…

uh..she SAID figure posing. that said, you can go to local store that sell lingerie like lovers package, pleasure chest, that kind of thing and get them. i got mine at sinfulshoes.com. i initially bought a 9 and a 10 cause i didn't know h ow they'd fit and ended up selling the 10's t someone locally and buying their 9's :).

well, its relative. if you have a set time that you are walking, say 30 minutes, you will go farther if you run than if you walk and since you are working harder (theoretically) when you run, in 30 minits you will burn more calories than 30 minutes of walking. BUT, if you approach it from a calories burned perspective, and…

when you are doing lunges, if you place your weight on the ball of your foot and push off with that, your front quads will do the most work. by placing the weight in your heel on your forward leg, and NOT using your back leg to push off, you will work the hamstrings and glutes, which is primarily what lunges (and sqauts)…

if you do complex moves, like cleans, chins, deads, you will work not only the major muscle groups but also the connectors, the ligaments and tendons. you will also strengthen your balance and body sense. days spent solely on small, isolated muscle groups are usually not worth the effort.

well, it depends on what you are trying to do. if you reduce carbs, you will need to replace them with something else, like protein, to stay at the same calorie total. if you replace it with fats, you will have to eat less food to remain at your calorie maximum, so it sounds like you are just changing up your macros.its a…

If you are going to love someone, love them. It isn't a feeling that floats around and falls on people...it is an act that you perform every day, every decision, every time. It is trusting them unconditionally because you love them, even when to the rest of the world, its unbelievable. it is thinking the best of them, even…

no such animal.

well dang, that is a great intro scott! thank you for serving! i appreciate your views and overall desire to go forward! glad to have you here...this is a very supportive community. :)

if i dont start eating early in the day, like before i workout, i get too far behind and i run out of day before i run out of food...and i'm at 1250 calories. i do eat a lot of food volume-wise, so i'm never really hungry except when i up my cardio...then i am VERY ready for meals! you do need to eat and not stay in a…

yes you can. im a pretty direct person and i would have to pop him on the head with a skillet, look him in teh eye and say "this is what is: i work all day, too, just because i dont leave the house doesn't mean im playing. when you come home, i need an hour to get things done that i need done, which includes looking after…

the back of the thighs are called the hamstrings and is part of the back/glute muscle complex. reverse hypers are excellent for this, with out without weights, as are deadlifts (but only if done properly), prone leg curls, back extensions and to a lesser extent, calf raises. google 'hamstring exercises' for video…

my chiropracter sells it. its a meal replacement system, like jenny craig. with all things considered, 'normal' food is far less expensive, less processed and you will be more sucessful, imo, when you learn how to prepare and eat meals that fall within your daily menus. peole lose weight on it cause.....they consume fewer…
