boom. roasted. game. over.

a little isnt bad. in fact, alcohol can help with water retention because it is such a great diuretic. ive noticed that even with weekends where i had a very crazy saturday night, i end up weighing in with a loss come wednesday. i just aim to exercise more that day as well as stay within my cal limit. i will not stop…

also, a piece of pizza is straight processed carbs and fat in the dough and cheese. basically, they dont keep you full for very long (it deals with how your body uses the cals, what hormones are produced, etc.) oatmeal (the real stuff) is always a solid choice for breakfast, or anything with protein, eggs especially, and…

i worded the second part of my post incorrectly. i meant to say "nobody makes it a goal to gain weight, but more or less, its just not a goal to lose weight."

buy in bulk. cook in bulk and refrigerate the left overs. you can get a pack of like 15 skinless boneless chicken breast at walmart or costco for like $10 bucks, and that should last well over a month. bulk vegetables would be beneficial too. dont buy name brand, and use the "per unit" price many stores make available as…

you may not be new to working out or healthy living, but if you have changed your eating habits and exercise habits (which i have to assume you have since you are on this site), then your body will need to adjust. ANY deviation from the norm will take a little time for your body to adjust. maybe not 4 weeks, but it will…

why have you settled with the career you are in? if you believe you can earn more, do more, and be more at your job, why havent you achieved that yet? different people are happier with different things in life. everyone is self fulfilling in that they want to make themselves happy. you may be happy with other aspects of…

take vitamin d pills. i am taking them for my acne, and i noticed they helped with my stretch marks a little. vitamin d reduces swelling and helps to eliminate redness. this is partially why when you get a tan, they look a lot better. obviously the skin tone helps, but the vitamin your body makes from getting sun helps…

thanks guys! it really was an amazing feeling, and i hope everyone can experience it. it has taken me a long time and a lot of exercise for thigns to come together, but its been totally worth it.

lets look at this in a more scientific way: milk is very calorically dense. when a calf is very young and growing, its bmr is very low, and it is drinking a ton of milk on top of that. so yes it is adding a lot of weight from the milk. but it is also gaining weight from EVERYTHING ELSE that is getting bigger while it…

try increasing your calories to 1500 for a couple weeks, and do less cardio exercise next week. i know it sounds counter intuitive, but give it a try. i think you are severely underfueling your body. youre killing it on the exercise front, keep up the good work and hopefully your body will enjoy the extra energy!

to really kick your body into starvation mode, you would have to consumer very high deficits for a sustained amount of time. its not like a light switch that goes on and off. have a cheat day once a week, do some calorie zig zag, etc. all while exercising and youll be fine!

water allows the body to stay full. people often time confuse thirst with hunger. i know when i drink more than 64oz of water a day, i dont get as many hunger pangs between meals and when i do, i just chug some water and give it 5 minutes and usually they go away. me personally, i think drinking water is super helpful to…

you just started on the weight loss journey. give your body a minimum of three weeks at this to adjust. i was in the same boat. nothing really happened the first 4 weeks, and then i stopped worrying and didnt weigh myself for three weeks. i ate my calories with as much protein as i could, and i exercised. just weighed this…

Down 2.5 lbs! good to see but definitely a little water weight after the weekend.

this is a great read: http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html i personally have cut back, but i still go out a couple times a week and only have a few drinks. i build it into my calorie load.

any business majors? i myself am a Supply Chain major, going into my senior year this fall.

tell your dad to stop being a *kitten* and let you handle things on your own. if he doesnt respect you and your own pride and effort, then he needs to take a long hard look at his own life and how he handles things.

anything dealing with medications should be talked to with a doctor.

this made me chuckle... ... and this made me literally laugh out loud. stop pining for attention. listen to your body and what it feels and use that for weight loss. dont rant and then bump it five minutes later unless you have good information (which you dont) or have a question you want answered (again, a swing and a…

a friend did this to me one time. without looking away from my menu, i (somewhat smugly) replied, "just cause you dont wanna look like a fatass eating an overloaded burger while i am eating a salad, doesnt mean you have to be negative about it. let me order what i want and shut the **** up" he hasnt said a word about what…

truly eye opening. crazy to see it exampled in real life. hopefully these participants use the information to their advantage, but i dont think the cream cake lady will be. you cant cure ignorance in some people.

this. i know when i hit my goal im gonna keep drinking, might as well get used to maybe eating a little less throughout the day to calorically afford the alcohol at night. plus, a glass of wine or bottle of beer every so often keeps the blood thin which is an added health benefit.

beautiful

i was so excited to make this suggestion cause nobody else had... til the last post i read haha i like body fortress a lot. tastes good and you get a good amount for the price. mix it will skim milk or water. i even throw a half scoop on a bowl of post shredded wheat cereal in the morning. its delicious!

the fact that i will be unhealthy and fat if i dont get up and start my day and instead choose to go back to bed for a couple hours is enough for me. if i start my day off lazily (ie. going back to bed after 5 snoozes of my alarm) the rest of my day will be lazy and i wont get anything accomplished. gotta use that will…
