Just do what you can until you feel like you're going to die. Then do it really really slowly and just try to never stop moving. and of course try to keep going!! You'll find that eventually you'll be able to do it

Bananas are really good for you, and pretty delicious! -High in potassium -Help upset stomach -High in fiber Fruit sugars are ok as long as you eat the whole fruit and not just fruit juice. The fiber in the fruit makes it so our bodies take longer to digest the sugars. As long as you stay away from refined sugars (as lots…

I'm in! going to start weighing my water next week! I think this means I am going to start carrying my food scale in my backpack. I am such a dork =]

Name: Alecta Age: 21 Birthday: Sept 10 Family: My parents live in California and I am currently in college in Atlanta. My bf lives an hour and a half away and I stay at *our* place on the weekends. My bf and I have known each other for 7 years and have been dating for 4 years. Our only pet is a super awesome hamster who is…

Studying all day and night for my exam tomorrow at noon. My bf lives an hour and a half away and I go see him on the weekends, so we might do something this weekend.

If you only do it once a month and drink a lot of water that day, I'd just say just to not log it (or just quick add 1500 calories or however much you guestimate it to be) I need to go to a Chinese buffet. I need it in my life right now

we saw it, loved it We like Charlie Kelly from Always Sunny. He is a great character.

Woah, ok. You give me a lot of work here! I gotta IMDb all of these. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into them =]

Ugly Truth - I'll show it to him and see what he thinks Dodgeball - Seen it, about a million times, because its so funny Clue - do you mean the 1985 one? Just go with it - we saw it and we both thought it was so funny. He is a HUGE friends fan, so he loves Jen Anniston. Couple's Retreat - I think we've seen this, not sure.…

When I did it my HRM said that I burned 145 calories in half an hour. I am 5'6" and I was around 140 when I did the exercise. If your height/weight are similar to mine then this should be a good guestimation for your calorie burn.

I have chronic joint pain and I am about to go see a specialist about it, but I am pretty sure I have hyper mobility joint disorder. Its main symptom is joint pain because of overly flexible joints. Here is a picture of the tests that you can do at home to see if you may have it (they are all tests to see how far your…

The doctor gave me pain medication this morning, AND two refills. I was worried I wouldn't get any more pain killers because its a school doctor and they are very wary about giving narcotics to students. I have horrible shoulder pain and I am doing everything I can to make it better and it still makes me want to cry…

Yeah, as I said I don't really have a full understanding of how and where the body stores food. I know the general overview from my studies in biology, systems physiology and biochemisty. I have never taken a digestional chemistry course. The main point of the original post was to deter people from habitually depriving…

@notfortyyet your brain pulls nutrients out of the blood throughout the day, synapses happen constantly so if there is glucose in the blood, the brain will use it when it needs it. I would think that during the day up to the point of the workout that the brain would have access to the full nutrition that it needs, but…

I would go by the MFP numbers, I trust this site and lots of people have used it to lose weight.

Haha this doesn't make you smarter. BUT if I can find an article that talks about synapse firing rate increasing during more vigorous thinking (studying) then it would justify my snack cravings when I spend a lot of time studying, which would be awesome Alecta337 burned 1050 calories doing 120 minutes of "Studying, hard"…

estrogen helps break down cholesterol, don't worry about it too much, just eat the whole egg or make hollandaise sauce or mayo or google "recipes egg yolk"

September 10th 9-10-90 and the epic part: my 21st birthday was 9-10-11 AWWW SNAP! I like math, and numbers =]

MaximalLife, you are 100% correct. The problem is that there will always be people who are set in their opinion who refuse to budge, even when presented with FACTS. I agree with you, and probably so do most people who have done actual research about nutrition and weight loss. I am a biomedical engineer in training and I…

Hi all, I was recently prescribed a medication that initially destroyed my appetite, so for about 2 weeks I was averaging 1000 calories, but that side effect has passed, thank goodness and now I am back to eating my 1200 calories. I wrote this thread the other day and no one responded (me sad) and it has to do with this…

Hmm, this program is meant to make it round and firm. I don't know how I feel about a guy doing it. Personal preference I guess. Honestly I pay more attention to a guy's tone in his arms chest and abs way more than his butt or legs.

If you live by yourself it should be enough space. My only concern would be the kitchen. In an apartment that size I would personally want the kitchen to be approximately half the floor space, just because I love to cook. Anywhere else in the world you would probably go crazy, but because it is NYC there is always…

As a girl who likes girls and dudes... I think the same theory applies to both guys and girls: muscle definition - sexy... roided out freak - scary There is a line, and for most women to cross it they need to take steroids because women don't have the amount of testosterone needed to produce huge vein-popping muscles. I…

Walking around campus to my classes (lame I know, but I'm pretty proud that I never take the bus anymore) and physical therapy for my shoulder (weight training and arm bike) I'll probably burn around 200-300 cal, not very impressive

Did it for 30 days. Liked it Fun and didn't lose interest Saw results in both appearance and feel (firmer butt and thighs)

Hi, I am 5'6" or 5'7" somewhere in that area. I started out at 149lbs and my goal is 125 lbs. I think I will probably be happy at 130 though. I carry my weight in my butt and thighs mostly. The picture of me in my sports bra (one of my profile pics) is when I weighed 145. I wear a size 10-13 pants, depending on the brand

These are the main vitamins in One-A-Day Energy. I don't take them religiously, but I should...

Does anyone else get sad and jealous when they see these pictures? I feel that there are so many pretty women in the world and I wish I could look like them. Whenever I complain about not being as pretty as other girls my bf always tells me that all those women spend hours and hours on the way they look every day. I rarely…

I may not have as much to lose, but when I started 30DS I was so out of shape. In the video there are 3 repetitions of the circuit and I had to pause the video and take a break in between circuits. And I also modified almost every move. My suggestion is to take lots of breaks and if something hurts too much (in a bad way…

Yeah, I don't see why not. Cardio Axe is just for cardio, it doesn't really work specific muscle groups.
