You cant gain weight on 1200 per day. You had to eat in excess of what you 'need' to gain weight. 1200 is nowwhere near that.

Yes 3rd time IS the charm. In fact, I've deliberately failed twice just to get here :tongue:

Congratulations, now go have a bad diet coke to celebrate ;)

Be glad you don't play an Ovation - that would be even worse ;)

Everybody wants to be a part of a pending success story - or in your case, a success story.

Well I can tell you, the colder it is, the less you'll notice the difference. I can't drink any milk but skim now - I'd nover go back to even 1%

Two words I can think of: Quadratis Lumbartis. Big muscles on each side of the mid back. When they are over tensed they will pull to the point of tugging a disc out of place (at least temporarily). You may just have to gut through the pain for now. But regular yoga is a good preventative.

Is it due to the healthy foods; YES Was there something wrong with you: YES (you weren't eating healthy foods ;)

"All we had was some beer in these teeny-weeny glasses.....". "How many teeny-weeny glasses did you have" ? "Seventy-two". :drinker:

I would say eat the biggest salad you can get your hands on and hour before you go out. Then whatever you still feel like eating or drinking, then go for it. Technically, you're not denying yourself anything then ;)

Well, based on what you just said, I won't recommend what I was going to.....ok, I will: A can of Albacore Tuna in water (water included) with a 1/2 cup of dry oatmeal in a bowl. Throw in a few baby carrots....... Probably won't appeal to you (sorry), but its nutrient dense and filling. And I guarantee you've never had it…

I'm sure you know the old saying: "abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym"....... I've always heard (for guys at least) that abs REALLY start showing around 8% bodyfat. Thats pretty low to maintain. And not sure what the number would be for women. But hey, if you have a faint outline, you have more than I do! More…

Yeay! finally, July 22!

same as jim croce.

You and my son. Jan 30th was the day the beatles played on the roof.

Close! July 22nd, still loooking for twin.

If burning fat is the goal, you are MUCH better off NOT eating at all before your run. A first-thing-in-the-morning, no food but a cup of coffee is the optimum environment for a cardio workout. Its a very effective setup for fat burning.

I had a raisin.

Its not to avoid callouses, but get a better grip. Deadlifting a couple hundred pounds, unless your grip is phenominal that bar wants out of your hands. I even have gloves with hooks built into the palms to help with that. NOW....if you see a guy wearing them and he's not weightlifting, THEN its a fashion thing ;)

You'll definitely get more energy, particularly if you can get them in powder capsule form. But for sure get at least 50 mg. capsules and take a couple after a meal. You'll also have pee the color of yellow highlighter ;)

Served to me by Patricia Arquette on our honeymoon if possible.

Tell you friend he's lucky to be living in 2012, when bald is cool. I don't want to be cool bad enough to shave my hair, but if I ever start to lose it I'm sure not gonna sweat it.

so that my acoustic guitar stops looking like a ukelele when I wear it....not quite that bad, but it feels that way.

That's the rule of thumb I always went by: 1/2 a pizza for women, a whole pizza for men..... Seriously, your's is the attitude that wins long term.

There is no doubt that guy will wind up with exactly what he deserves. I never fail to get a laugh out of people's insistence that THEY are going to control life......

So in other words, you're saying you are married? Join the club.

And how can the walkers have enough "memory" to turn doorknobs, but not enough to remove helmets? - they both stand in the way of them eating.

Same here. Doesn't make sense really, but thats how it is.......

I'm very 'cited!

I definitely think you should eat them back. Most people here agree. Its tempting not to, becuase you think you'll be 'ahead of the game', but for me that means I'm hungrier and more apt to overeat later.
