  • Fage has significantly more protein than Chobani and a lot more than the popular brands, so you get more for the calories, which if you are restricting calories, is the way to go.
  • lol the weather doesn't matter....the course is designed for mud! don't wear your favorite shoes either, if they don't get sucked into a mudpuddle. there is usually a pile of shoes at the end that everyone contributes to. bring a change of clothes and extra running shoes, again, not your new ones. unless you are bound and…
  • omg. congratulations. thats like 2 of me!
  • cheetos? cookies? soda? candy? way too many carbs in the last week...dunno what your other 3 weeks look like. i understand you may have changed how much of what you used to eat, but you need a better balance of protein and fats to carbs. and what kind of exercise are you doing for 90 minutes every day? thats a lot, so you…
  • yes. enjoy it :)

  • i paid about $600 for an 18-month membership. 24/7 access. no pool. i pay my trainer separately, about $35 an hour.
  • mmmm not hydrostatic, but Washington Institute of Sports Medicine does DeXA scansand gives you a pretty thorough report on BF, bone density, BMR/BMI and fat distribution. For $125.00, it's a pretty good start to figuring out your starting point. They are in Kirkland.
  • most mainstream self-help magazines are thinly-disguised, lengthy manufacturer's advertisements. Only. There is very little hard science or independant reasearch done on any article, popular trends are quoted as fact and easy solutions to complex situations are promoted as the final say. The models are airbrushed to fit…
  • There really isn't enough information here to make a judgment. what does the rest of your nutrition look like? Standing alone, a single meal is either too much of something or not enough.
  • started about 18 months ago at mmmmmm 226, started running, bounced between 205-215 for a long time.Took a Zumba class and got inspired by the instructor to get into weight training, so I started the New Rules of Lifting for Women around March of last year. I got her to train me and I started in August of 2011 at 177. Went…
  • welcome! I am near JBLM-my husband just got back from a deployment, so I know how crazy it can be. we have very unpredictable weather here in Washington, too but I have learned that I won;t melt in the rain and they make some warm outdoor running gear! I use the gym for my strength routine, but much prefer the outdoors for…

  • 'better' is a subjective term. stevia is a plant extract and has a sweetness similar to sugar, although it isn't a granulated product (by comparision, cane sugar is also a plant extract). splenda is based on sugar, but has some molecules replaced, so it's not **exactly** plant-based. they have degrees of sweetness but some…

  • eh, it's OK. I've had the chocolate premixed and as long as its cold, its doable. It comes in handy little 8-ounce boxes, so its good in my locker as a backup. The vanilla is awful :/ A much better product if you are looking at powdered stuff and have a GNC or Rite-Aid pharmacy near you is AMB Whetbolicc 60. Very delish…
  • i have never tried chalk, although i hope to have ti find out about it in the near future. i use straps on all my back sets. just put together a contraption consisting of a chain,a pull-down cuff set and some clips (can't think of the official rock climbing term atm) so i can do reverse hypers. ill be adding some velcro…
  • o lordy! i dispatch for them!...actually sitting there as we speak! i live in Roy
  • 10 pounds is either 33% or 50% of your goal, depending on which number y ou go with, so that is not a small accomplishment. open your diary so we can look at it. are you measuring your food or guessing at portion sizes? what does your strength training consist of? are you increasing the load each workout? zumba is fine for…
  • I'm 5-9 and at 144, in a loose 8, comfortable 6 and occasionally a 4. It's wonderful. Build muscle and you won't be bony, no way <3 my legs and my shoulders are getting better and better. :) go for it.
  • she is pretty lean and buff for a bikini competitor...normally they are softer than the figure girls, as in this 2011 contest winner amanda latona: . but she could be a crossover from figure, which requires a leaner, more defined look. lighting and timing are critical in photos and who knows when and where this was taken.…
  • i really do recommend GNC's "AMP" line. i use the wheybolic 60, which has 60 grams of protein in a 3-scoop serving. I mix it up with a half cup almond milk, a half cup water, come hersheys cocoa powder and instant coffee crystals some stevia...blend it up with ice and its the thickest, creamiest shake! have to eat it with…
  • sometimes running to a beat keeps your mind occupied. i never liked running til i got an ipod, then i hated running to songs that were out of pace with me. podrunner.com has free podcasts classified by beats per minute (bpm) in a variety of speeds. they are usually about an hour. i import them into my audio program and add…
  • You Reign -Mercy Me I'm running through my inspirational playlist right now. I have stuff on my mind :|
  • <3 this workout!
