Senor_GoHard... didn't earn that name for nothing!

This is like a nice motivation flip book hahah! You relaly look like a different person in EACH of those pictures haha

OOO man I know what you mean! Everyone saying the intake is right. More important what you eat (*Not all calories are created the same*). I recently started eating more fibrous vegetables to replace my other carbs like break and etc and have seen good results in the mid section which has ALWAYS been an issue. I have also…

I don't think its curdling. Its just separating. This happens to me when I put it in when the coffee is EXTREMELY hot and the milk is cold. U just have to stir it and it will go away and as it cools you won't notice any separated. Good luck!

This thread is HUGE haha all based on opinion. To cut the matter dry, you just have to find what works for you. I know there is science (there is ALWAYS science) and there is always RESEARCH and OPINIONS, but I think what does YOUR body want and what does YOUR body need. For me I workout at 4:30am. I don't eat before…

AS OPEN AS A BOOK!

I don't know how you do that. I only weigh myself once of twice a week. I guess since I am a bigger dude, my weight can fluctatate so much between a day between the water i drink and the work out I do (easily 5 lbs up and downs in a day lol) I say don't weigh yourself and stress yourself anymore. Worry about you health.…

I think I should get a % increase for every pound he loses but thats just my thoughts lol

Great tips! I just got into the food scale myself! It has helped a TON especially since I have a heavy hand! Also EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!! This helps fill you up and little calories and SO MUCH minerals! I try to eat a vegetable or fruit (try to be careful with fruits since it a lot of sugar if you eat too many) for every…

Make sure you think short term and long term and make them quantifiable with dates. Oh too often we only have "lose 50 lbs." General Goals are destined to fail. If you have Lose 50 lbs by the end of the year, but this month lose 5 lbs. Its easier to hold yourself accountable. It also easier to see if your goal is ACTUALLY…

rippedrecipes.co, has really good recipes! I think as a man, you don't want to change the flavor the portion size. Sometimes its best to keep the bold flavor but substituting the ingredients slowly (ie brown rice and lean cuts of meat). Things I have done lately are Flourless Pizza (using cauliflower), Quinoa Jambalaya,…

I have learned, from both experience and seeing people at races, races are less about body type/ category and more about mental will, determination and persistent training. If you want to (of course without hurting yourself and medical clearance) and you are determined, you can do this! This is coming from a guy that…

Quest Protein bars are REALLY good and have have GREAT macros (just a little pricey). Fruits usually do it for me and my protein shakes are to DIE for haha... I also go crazy for flavored PB from peanut butter company!

I did this for the month of January and saw the best results I have ever scene since I started my journey. Not only did I not add the calories from teh alcohol as well as the negative things that come with it, but also my "I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED FOOOD" attack that comes after it. I felt GREAT and I went to a superbowl party…

Thanks everyone! YOU CAN DO THIS! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

I have one. I bought it when it first came out. The novelty of it was great! I also have friends with it so we constantly compete. It isn't very accurate like noted and is based mostly on arm movement (so sometimes even tho my leg days i burn the most calories it won't reflect that) It does come in handy since I have a…

Like I said, it all starts with the mentality. I have never called myself fat, nor will I ever or anyone else for that. Partially because you never know someones backstory especially with that word. I have never joked around about my weight either (a personal preference). To me if you joke about something, especially if a…

ALSO one thing that the Biggest Loser said that I agree... its ok to treat yourself every once in a while, but DON'T keep it in the house. If you have to leave teh house and get it, thats one thing, but having in the house tempting you 24/7 is dangerous!

I think a big part of it is the name? I don't consider things "cheat." It makes it sound like I have to hide it or I am ashamed. If you are putting in the work you deserve a little something or reward (maybe going out) and it doesn't have to be food related. I think a whole day for "cheat" is a lot and a slippery slope.…

I am not a fan of the "moderation" mindset (but it does work for others). I am pretty good at going "cold turkey" and I think sometime "moderation" mindset is too relative and can lead to worse decisions later on. I AM however TOTALLY for listening to your cravings and either "giving into them" once in a while or finding a…

I would also look here. I found out that my body mass and my goals affect mine (for example guys need more protein per pound their weight especially if active) I know women are less. I did a quick search and found this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/708128-women-macros Once again everyones is different, and…

Some people go with "IIFYM" or If it fits you macros. Basically eat whatever you want if it fits your carbs, protein and fats. I do clean eating. I just feel better and fuller and healthier. I eat small meals 6 to 7 times a day. I basically eat every 2 hours. It just works for me better. It is a personal preference tho.…

I had a plateau that last for a whole year! It was only a number on the scale granted but its still discouraging. The biggest thing I did was changed everything I did. The food I ate and the workout I did... the times I did it. I have learned that my body get used to things I give i QUICKLY. IMO you have to throw your body…

No time like the present!!! I HATE tracking food, but I realized that I am "tasting" and in result hurting myself! I am challenging myself to do this for February! You can do this!! This is a journey not a story! Feel free to add me.

The long run starts with baby steps! Feel free to add me also!

check out rippedrecipes.com. They have a lot of clean eat receipes! My next thing is to try the Flour-less Pizza!

I have a love hate relationship with the show. I love that i get motivated while and after watching even if fake. It makes me want to go workout or be better. What is hate most is the backlash they give each other for not losing "enough" How many people you know would be UPSET about losing 9 lbs in a week?! REALLY?! I know…

I was recently able to increase my calorie burn at the gym (which is important since I have a desk job): I think it is key to get a heart monitor. I used to say "why do I need this if I know how much I am doing form cardio) WRONG! First off the machine is wrong 99% of the time with cals burned and 2) I burn so much while…

SOOO agree with this. Girls that lift are hot!

I so agree!! When I go to the gym or run, my headphones are DRENCHED! I also have a tendency of losing or destroying them (clumsy... YES) So if my 10 dollar skull candy must be replaced 10 times in a year (they are loud and great quality) I am still playing less haha. I do like the Dr. Dre headphones overall, but I can't…
