what in the world does this have to do with the original post?

Count me in!!

If you are going to do both cardio and strength, you want just a short (5min) warm up, then strength training, then finish with cardio. It is safer to do strength training first, as you won't be tired out. Plus cardio is more effective after the strength training. Check out "The New Rules of Lifting For Wormen". It's a…

I was loving this post until you said eggs were dairy. None of my cows have ever laid an egg :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm in!

AMEN!!!

never? REALLY?? I understand the difference quite well. I also understand that if I eat any carbs besides fibrous veggies and some lower GI fruits, my weight loss stalls regardless of caloric deficit. people really need to stop with the gross generalizations. you also need to realize that none of you really know as much as…

would you look down on the person who comes in last? or would you be waiting at the finish line, cheering them on? go for it! you'll either cheer or be cheered -- nothing wrong with either :wink:

I drink my coffee with a scoop of vanilla or triple chocolate protein shake mix. Tastes great, and i get in some much needed protein!

:drinker:

As for GNC, their prices are higher than most, but they do have one benefit -- you can return any product for a full refund if you do not like it, regardless of reason. I suggest trying new things there first. If you don't like it, return it. If you do, get it somewhere cheaper thereafter.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) aides weight loss, and has also been shown to be effective in warding off certain cancers. My husband's cousin works for Cornell and has been studying it pretty intensely for the past few years. It's one of the few supplements he takes religiously (and he's studied many).

definitely use an HRM -- the estimates in the database are notoriously high! then, if you really need some extra calories some days, have a protein shake. about 130 calories/ 25 gram protein, and take up little room :wink: *** Just saw your last post. Polar FT7 can be used in the pool

Wow! Where are all the "clean eating" nazis? I thought for sure this thread would be blown up w/ the "empty calorie" preaching. Enjoy your drink (or two-- you said you have 200 calories left!) and remember you have to LIVE, not just survive.

you couldn't find kettle bells on google? i found 1,570,000 results: http://www.google.com/search?q=kettle+bell&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a they have been around longer than pretty much any exercise equipment except for the boulders they use for strongman competitions, and are…

if it's just a few bites here and there, don't worry about it. but if you're talking about 1/4 or more of your meals, every day, that is going to make a huge difference. and really, the point of logging is so that you are a) fully aware of what you are consuming, and b) so you (and others) can look back and see where you…

so the ones that say "100% juice -- no added sugars" are lying? i bet the FDA would just let that slide...

if it is private property, their rules trump the "law". they have every right to make every inch of their property smoke free.

i disagree. if she were doing drugs or drinking, that baby would likely be taken away from her at birth. why is it ok to poison a baby w/ nicotine (and the thousands of other chemicals in cigarettes)?

hmmm... soda & sweet tea = carbs

This is NOT true. Mine are much smaller now than they were when I weighed 118 (currently 134).

I'd say quitting smoking, more than being on MFP, is the cause of your weight gain/ food obsession. I've never known anyone to quit w/o gaining weight. That being said, giving up cigarettes should still be your top priority!! It's always easier to lose weight/ tone when you eat healthy foods as opposed to junk. But now you…

sorry, but muscle builds VERY slowly. you may have gained an ounce -- maybe. what you are experiencing is water retention. when you start a new excercise or increase intensity, your muscles retain water to act as a cushion, to protect themselves. this will pass shortly.

I'm in!

This. When people start making outrageous, unfounded accusations, it is generally because they feel guilty about something they did/ are doing. As for the rest of it? What he's doing is ABUSE. Would you stay with him if he were abusing your children? Of course not. As another poster said, you don't want your children (male…

This. Why add oils & sugar?

if you're looking for someone to push you, or hold you accountable, a trainer is a great idea. if you're just looking for a program, try New Rules of Lifting for Women. follow both exercise and nutrition sections, and you WILL see results.

five children :wink:

in and done
