The training manager is a douche. Your trainer is a douche for recommending a "cleanse". You shouldn't quit your work. What I don't think you should do is tell your trainer to stand up to you. The last thing a manager wants is for his/her employee to embarrass the manager in front of a customer unless she wants to get…

You don't need to run for 30 minutes! You can warm up using a lighter weight for squats, eg bodyweight squats, goblet dquats with a dumbbell, or a lighter bar You don't need to do any stretches, but I think it helps a lot. There some stuff to read through here, it's very quick…

Whatever you see on magazines, photoshoots and articles is generally too skinny. Find a weight you are comfortable with and can function on a day to day level reasonably well, eg you aren't hungry all day etc and stick with it.

Wow, well done!

If it is indeed the case that the complainant made allegations without any scientific proof as Quest have stated then s/he is pretty much in deep tihs. A company like Quest, owned by GNC (!), will no doubt have the resources to fund and conduct a study, a well as a likely outpouring on financial donations from their…

This. If you want to get better, do the Armstrong program. Not some random program a user from MFP has created, unless s/he has copied and pasted it from a reputable source.

Did you eat roughly 3500 calories above your maintenance calories? If so, then you may have gained roughly 1lb of fat. Did you eat more carbs than you normally did and/or did you eat foods higher in sodium than your normal diet BUT you did not eat 3500 calories above maintenance? If so, then you have not 1lb of fat.…

Not really much that can be done about it. The term "coach" can be used by almost anyone as it isn't regulated by a federal agency. In the same way, neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the Department of Agriculture regulate the word "natural" in terms of food and drink. The supplement and fitness industry is not…

I'm just finished week 5, workout C of Madcow 5x5 this afternoon and I have to say I absolutely love it. I'm only 144lbs and I'm trying to get my squat, bench, deadlift etc up before I move on to 531. Like yourself, I am cutting for the last few lbs of fat but my main concern is getting my strength up. The light squat in…

170 calorie serving for $4?! You must be friggin kidding me? With $4 I could probably get half the a few days worth of food shopping for myself. What a rip off.

Pizotifen is not uncommon for those who are suffering from depressive disorder. Understand that depression increases the probability of a whole host of other medical conditions, including diabetes, stroke, heart disease as well as other problems loss of appetite or even weight gain, loss of energy (also understand that…

If I lived in Alaska, I'd be like this bear <3 snow

It happens to everyone, relax :)

I had almost 1000 calories worth of chocolate thi s morning, 675 calories worth to be exact. It was all at work, the Christmas stuff people always bring in. I'm a broke student so my logic is that if it's free it has 0 calories hehe. My advice? Just eat the chocolate now. Chances are you are going to get "jittery" later on…

Running track is a little hard to explain if you've never done it before at a local event. There is a huge difference between running 1500m alone and running 1500m with dozens of people cheering you on In the same way, it's different when you squat 500lb in the gym and squat 500lb at a powerlifting meet (not that I've ever…

I think this is a good point, and a very fair point. OP I don't know what your intentions are for your kids (ie did you and your partner ever see your kids being professional athletes rather than going straight to college? Did you see them doing both through a scholarship? etc). If you did, then you are doing the right…

Most kids these days want an Xbox or Playstation or iPad or whatever the youths these days are using. But this might give you an idea: The 50 most popular toys from the last 50 years http://twentytwowords.com/2013/12/14/50-popular-toys-last-50-years/

So you're saying that a man who has a girlfriend can't make stupid and funny pictures (eg my profile picture) and send them to a close female friend who has a boyfriend?! What planet are you living on? He might as well not have any female friends at all while he's at it. I'm afraid that you have serious trust issues and…

Reminds me of something from a blog post yeaaaaaaars ago: English is a Crazy Language by Richard Lederer Let's face it -- English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England, nor French fries in France. Sweetmeats…

You a pretty young thing!

In for boobs Big, small, odd shaped, uneven and those with breast cancer. Ladies <3

Good ideas so far, bumping.

I think the advice you've been given by almost everyone has been poor, especially compared to the usual standards, with the exception of a few members who actually answered most or all of your questions. The first thing, as chrisdavey said, is that your caloric intake is still quite low for someone of your weight and…

Bump? I need some ideas :(

IQ is overrated. Howard Gardner's book and theory on intelligence is much better IMO.

Under £500 :D
