I bought a heart rate monitor, and now I don't have to mess around with any of the stuff in the MFP exercise database. HRMs for the win.

Some people are saying you don't have to be sore to build muscle, which is confusing to me. Maybe they have found such a thing, but I am not familiar with it. *shrug* I always make sure I'm sore at the end of a workout. I dunno.

If you are not sore, you aren't making microtears in your muscles. Lift heavier weights such that you are in pain at rep 8 or 10 and can't lift any more. Your last three reps have to be very very difficult. This is how you build muscle. Heavier weights = Microtears = Pain = Muscle increase I'm reading New Rules of Lifting…

"They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works, every time." "Mmm... that doesn't make sense."

I'm doing P90X too! Friend Request sent! ^_^

You came to the right place, hun. There are TONS of people here who are ready to support you throughout your journey. For me, I've looked at a bunch of the success stories here at MFP, and it helped me to realize that I CAN become the person I want to be. I don't have to settle for the body I'm in now. I CAN SUCCEED. This…

I'm doing P90X and I just started reading The New Rules of Lifting for Women - read last night that eating right after your strength training workout is a good idea. Maybe that will keep you from feeling sleepy. Friend me or send me a message if you want to talk about strength training more. It's pretty fun in my opinion.…

lol I love you.

Tell her to come join you on MFP so she can read your blog posts. Maybe she'll also read some forum posts or become interested in logging her food. *shrug* If you decide to discuss it with her outright, I suggest you preface your statement with that part about "loving her no matter what." That's usually a good plan. Also…

GARY IS THE BEST NAME FOR A MALE CAT. NAME IT GARY.

Well I have my fiance buy things online for me cuz... I dunno just cuz. So how about the last few things I REMEMBER buying online? Book: New Rules of Lifting for Women A sweater de-piller Bare Escentuals make-up foundation Book: 52 ways to play solitaire (I was curious) Okami for the Wii (awesome game, btw) Toaster oven…

Wow. Just wow. Your story feels so similar to mine. And your accomplishment is so great, I feel like I can conquer mine too. Thank you so much for sharing. Well done. :') <3 - Mary

My understanding of the idea that "coffee dehydrates" is that coffee is simply a diuretic. If you poop more (especially liquid-y poop) then water is being expelled from your system. Therefore it's not that when you add coffee to your system it magically subtracts water from your system; that doesn't make sense. Rather, by…

Exactly what I was going to say. :) Every time you decide NOT to give up, and to instead let it go and move on, the event becomes NOT A FAILURE, but only a bump in the road to success.

Legend of Zelda and similar video games, Video game theory, internet memes, Star Trek: TNG, Japanese culture (including anime)... aaand some other things I guess. *shrug* Oh and just science and math in general. Engineer here. *raises hand*

The mirror, essentially. I realized that the lovely lady in the wedding dress that I've been drawing over and over is not the person I see in the mirror. I realized how badly I want my body to fit with my personality. Not only for looks sake, but for my mind too. Basically being this chubby is just unacceptable for the…

I've been eating yoplait light since I was a teenager. I like them because they're always sweet and smooth, but they're fat free and I believe sugar free. The sweetener is some derivation of aspertame. I don't like the thick and creamy kind, makes me gag, and the whips is essentially the regular stuff except mostly air. So…

Freshman year of college I dyed my hair blue. There was another Mary in the dorm building so she was "Mary" and I was "Blue." My hair has long since gone back to brown but the name "Blue" stuck with my college friends. I wanted to have "Blue" as my username on a site a while ago but it was taken. Frustrated, I tried to…

I have unfriended two people because I felt that their attitudes were not conducive to the attitude I need to create in myself in order to successfully lose weight. I hope that they know that it wasn't because I dislike them or because I thought badly of them, it was simply a matter of our attitudes not clicking together.…

"Giving up is the only way you can fail. As long as you try again, you will never fail. As long as you try again, success is guaranteed." - Me.

~Name: Andy ~Relationship: We've been together just shy of 9 years, and we've been engaged for almost one year of that time. We'll be married in about 2 years. ~Physical: His hair and his face - he is so handsome. One time when we were at the grocery store, we were both walking around looking for something, and I saw this…

Just to be on the safe side, maybe ask your doctor to check your body fat however they do it there, just to get a more accurate reading to be sure. Yea?

37 is more believable. Mine is 33, last I checked. *shrug*

But it's necessary to win the bear's respect! It's important. Now the bear and I are best friends.
