Eat more. I ate 3000 calories a day to gain. Full fat dairy was very helpful (unless you are vegan). And yeah you may have to drop the boot camps.

What are the supposed benefits? Just scabs and leg hair don't mix?

This was my husband's reaction as well. But he's also put me on Candies (which are like egg beaters I guess). I've been working on them all summer and I'm much better than I was but I was having chain issues Wednesday so that combined with the pedals meant I fell about 3 times. It was suggested by a friend that I go to…

Brought to you by this picture a biker friend posted on facebook. At first I wasn't sure it if was a man or woman. But after opening it, I'm pretty sure it's Sonya Looney and not my friend Eric.

Most Universities have really nice gyms. Use it. Try to pick the healthy things as often as possible but don't obsess about it. Don't drink too much. Don't snack mindlessly while studying. Walk to all your classes.

This is a really good weight lifting routine. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/560459-stronglifts-5x5-summary I'd do it before cardio, maybe after a 5-10 min cardio warm-up so that you aren't too tired to focus on form.

I'm a weight lifer first, mountain biker second. I do a modified version of Strong Lifts, so deadlifts and squat. I don't think many people can argue with deadlifts and squats.

Honestly doesn't sound like he's crossed the "creepy" threshold just yet. Next time he takes the treadmill next to you move. He might get the hint just from that.

So it's cool to make fun of people who are self conscious about their bodyfat levels? Awesome. :grumble:

I don't know. Maybe it's the older ones she's thinking of. She has expensive tastes in bikes. Our club is sponsored by Pivot, but even with the discount I don't think I want to spend that kind of money.

ALL the stupid things.

I went to a strip club recently. Those girls don't even lift.

I wear Chucks. My gym also has a little wooden board you can put under your heels.

Raspberries mixed with a little bit of the syrup. Raspberries have higher fiber than the other berries.

The only reason I'm thinking about the 650b is the Genius doesn't come in a 26 and I'm not sure I want a 29. I have demoed the 650 but I was short on time. I do want to demo the 29. I've never ridden one. I just suck at switch backs as it is... I guess the draw back of the 650s is that they are hard to find tires and tubes…

wheel chair.

That's an F-ed up website for sure. Wow.

You have to stay in love, stay friends, stay passionate and be good roommates.

This.

My daughter is starting full day school for the first time Monday. It's $2.50 a meal. I think they get to chose between 3 options. They seem like good options to me. Aug 19: #1: Entree salad w/ dinner roll #2: Hot dog #3: Turkey sandwich http://www.jeffcopublicschools.org/food_services/Elementary%20Lunch%20Aug.pdf

Yup.

That's the thing you've got to remember about reviews. People are more likely to post *****y reviews than nice ones. The people who are satisfied don't bother to review.

Of course you can. But yes, some people might find your stetch marks something to stare at or comment on, but f*** those people.

He likes it a lot. The titanium and the 29 give it a little more flex than a hardtail aluminum 26er might. However he's got a bad back and he's 41 now so he's looking to get a full suspension racing bike next year, probably a carbon Scott Spark because that's what the shop he races for carries. He had to DNF on a race this…

My husband races a Motobacane. I saw several out at Leadville actually. I think it's this one: http://www.motobecane.com/29/ft29ti.html He replaced the brakes right away because he hates the avids.

This for the most part but "too muscular" is subjective but you won't even know you are there until you lose most of your weight so don't worry about it right now.

Which chain place is the pizza most similar to? Log that.

I serve my kids spinach salad almost every meal. They have to eat it or they don't get anything else the rest of the night. It took a while for each of them to like it (it's a weird texture for babies learning to eat real foods) but they all like it now. They also really like raw cucumbers, sugar snap peas, carrots and…

What is your definition of bulky? I'd recommend this program: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/560459-stronglifts-5x5-summary

If you burn say, 2000 calories a day without exercise. Then you eat 2000 calories a day. Then you exercise and burn an extra 300 calories you are creating a 300 calorie deficit and could therefore lose weight.
