*Hats off*

This is so great for me to read because I've lost almost 20 pounds and have just been waiting for almost 1.5 years to get off my CPAP machine. I was DX'd in September of 2012 with OSA. They said I stopped breathing approximately 15-18 times per hour and anywhere from 12 to 18 seconds. I have been sleeping way better since…

All I know is that on this Friday when I go to Joe's Crab Shack...I'm going to destroy crab legs until I turn into a crustacean.

Enjoy wrecking your body. Eat more, lose more.

Yes because someone who eats 18 bananas a day can defy the laws of science and thermogenesis. She has an intense workout schedule (probably burning 1,000+ calories a day) which allows her to eat that amount of food in a day. Also show me some studies that say fat is bad, protein is bad and that carbs are all you need. Just…

I believe mine is open.

Week 12 of P90X3 - Eccentric Lower and 5K Runner (Week 2 - Day 2)

Grapefruit - Raw, natural sugars, full of vitamins, good carbohydrates & fiber. Grapefruit Juice - Usually processed, full of synthetic & formulated sugar, low nutritional profile, no fiber or anything great for you really. Stick with the raw fruit unless you use a juicer at home to juice the fruit.

Every hour or two I take 5 laps around the parking lot (equals out to be .25 of a mile). If I do it 3-4 times a day that's a mile just at work not including any extra walking I do throughout the day (walking to the wide format printers, cutting laminate, putting together signage, etc). Speaking of which, time to walk!

Ah yes, you must know everything about this woman who wants to show off her hard earned physique. She only does it because she wants attention. I'm sure she couldn't go anywhere else and find attention outside of the gym. Great logic.

If you don't like seeing skin or people "showing off" their hard earned bodies then don't go to a gym or find one that has these types of policies. Also you should go to the gym to train. You should be focused 95% of the time while at the gym, I understand people peep and look at their surroundings but did she really throw…

Olive Oil Peanut Butter Almonds Protein Bars (Calorie heavy ones, like 300+) Butter Cream Cheese Those are some calorie dense foods to boost your numbers up.

P90X3 is a nice routine. I'll be done with their program in 12 days. I've lost about 16.5 pounds so far with it. Nothing beats a StrongLifts 5x5 workout though. I love the feeling of squatting, benching & deadlifting.

This thread just goes to show how you can piss on & off elderly, closed-minded idiots really quick.

-I can eat foods that I like, not foods that are "low carb" "low fat" low..blah blah blah. As long as it fits my macros. -I learned my eating habits, I like a big breakfast, lunch and a smaller dinner. It's just how I like to eat. -I learned what an actual serving is...what a quarter cup of shredded cheese looks like…

Water weight. If you weigh daily record each weigh in and find the average of those 7 weigh ins. That's more of a real weight than what the scale reads day to day. Also, patience is a virtue.

According to the calculators at IIFYM.com your BMR is around 1480 (need your age to get the real number). Trying bumping up your calories to 1500 and exercising a bit and eating some calories back. Also if you don't have a lot to lose (say 20lbs or less) you should expect a .5lb to 1lb loss a week. Have you been taking…

Slow and steady wins the race.

Oh no meno!!! It could have been the good from Chilis (hate that restaurant) or the timing of meals. It seemed to recede when I drank 16oz of water, completely. Who knows, was definitely weird!

This is no different than girls buying skinny jeans because they want to and feel confident enough to do so. Do what you want if you like it!

How disgusting is my friend Trevor? Pretty disgusting by some of you life of the party type people...... Also before you guys go on a tangent about "good luck getting a job" he's a full time tattoo artist & touring musician. We need an ink appreciation thread. ON TO A NEW THREAD MY FRIENDS...

Sorry, not...I'm just commenting because you look like Grandpa Gohan from DBZ. :D

Has a secret shrine dedicated to Justin Bieber

All my hopes & dreams about this brownie...

You're going to get a LOT of different brands and variations. The three best brands in my opinion: ON Gold Standard Whey - You can buy it as small as 1lb containers (about 8-10 shakes) • http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html BSN Syntha-6 - My current protein, love it. Good stuff in it. I feel as if it works it's…

Protein supplements do not really help you lose weight. They do help by getting protein to your muscles fast after a training session. They are help you meet your protein number goals. Say you have 30g of protein you need to get for the reset of the day and you only have around 200 calories you can have a protein shake…

I do take a stimulant-free fat burner which has CLA / Garcinia Cambogia / Raspberry Keytones & L-Carnitine in it. No jitters, racing heart or any of that garbage and it gives me a nice sustained energy level throughout the day. Never had any experience with Hydroxycut, would rather not take that brand after all the…

What ninerbuff said. Google the "Whoosh Effect" and you can find out how weird our bodies are when it comes to weight loss.

Yeah this is just plain dumb. You should count calories and macros here's why. 1) Most people over / under estimate how much they actually are eating. Most people think they know what 3 ounces of french fries are but are sadly mistaken when they realize 3oz of french fries is between 8-12, not 20-25. 2) It lets you know…
