Nice suit!

Finishing up my 2nd year soon. I personally have not been disciplined enough to continue the 5 days a week I did before starting school. I am lucky to get 2 days a week in the gym but I also walk at least a mile round trip to get anywhere in my town so that helps a ton. I have seen a ton of very dedicated people who are…

In med school now, was recently taught information from these very articles. Low carb can help improve lipid profiles and increase overall fat loss compared to low fat diets. But personally I lost 70lbs eating tons of granola bars and meat, I never worried about the fat intake. Maybe if I had it would have been faster?

Estrogen upregulates growth in certain tissues (among a million other effects) and can cause weight gain in some women.

Viral ear infections are extremely rare in adults, plus they dont usually last beyond a week. In addition I'm guessing the OP had discharge and fever, both clear signs of a bacterial infection. It would be a waste of money to culture for resistance every time someone came in with an ear infection, when the drugs work on…

I think some people are confusing diabetes and PCOS. To clarify some of the pathophysiology here is a quote from some of my med school textbooks. "The classic physiological changes in women with PCOS include hyperandrogenemia (one of the NIH consensus criteria for diagnosis of PCOS), hypercholesterolemia and hypertension.…

THIS!

Take measurements! Even if you aren't losing weight you may be losing inches.

Well it's 90 not 100 cals but Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate No Sugar Added. The best 1/4 cup 90 calories you will ever have in my opinion.

Like others have said, eat back your exercise calories for sure. Also the more fit you are the less fat you burn and the more carbs. Because of that I make sure to eat my carbs for the day before my workouts and almost no carbs afterwards.

Hahahaha, you crack me up. I don't count stretching, just aerobic exercise. Ideally I only count things that put my heart in the fat burning zone.

@goldmoonjd Yes!

I don't mind my chest hair, I just prefer being able to see the muscle definition better. Although there is maybe a 10-15 lb difference in these pics, I think I know which one ladies would prefer.

Cheeks and nose

Walked to school, even though it was raining.

I do the same thing but with no oil. Once it is done popping I spray some non stick cooking spray and add a little salt. Probably the lowest calorie, non-artificially sweetened, filling, snack possible.

Added, any others feel free to add me!

It was my experience that watching calories resulted in a natural reduction of carbs and fat because I like bigger portions and low-cal big portions usually involve lots of veggies. But this also resulted in sub optimal protein levels. So like others I do watch protein now, especially since I'm trying to tone. Other than…

I've noticed with my parents and my friends parents that they get really worried when they start seeing their children lose weight. There are a variety of reasons I'm sure but at the end of the day you have to be firm with them. Explain that you are watching your caloric intake and burn very closely and losing weight in a…

About a year ago: Current:

I have a Timex HRM that is almost always 100% off from what MFP and other online calcs say. From what I've read, the HRM usually uses a formula based on average people and average heart rates. But not every workout you do is strictly cardio and of course most of us do not have average bodies. So unless you spent a lot of…

I feel the same way. If I have a piece of chocolate I want more, but if I have a peach or an apple it usually satisfies me much better for less calories. Probably has something to do with the fiber. To the OP, try single serving diced fruit cups in water NOT syrup. Diced peaches are 25 calories, diced pears are 40. Even if…

The reason it isn't in MFP already is probably because cardio is fairly easy to estimate based on height and weight but weight training has wide variations based on fitness level. The only real option is to get a very good HRM and create the exercise yourself.

Most of the videos from www.fitnessblender.com can be done with little to no equipment. For example http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/exercise-detail/Bodyweight-Upper-Body-Workout-At-Home-Upper-Body-Workout-for-Lean-Muscles/c8/ Most of the interval training ones are a combination of squats, jumps, punches, kicks, etc. This…

Exactly! I constantly crave junk food, Jalapeno Cheetos are my kryptonite, and I do indulge but most of the time I can't because I don't have it.
