i'm a guy, and i just got the confirmation today that my 200 under 200 was shipped. all i can say is like omg im super excited!!!! :blushing:

hahaha if hes willing the shell it out, go for it!!!

even better! looks like a free dinner date/movie on him :bigsmile: i know i would!!! oh ya and tell him not to forget the :flowerforyou:

if she was old enough you could get some chores out of her in "payment" for a new ball!!! :laugh:

i tried doing HIIT the other day, and failed after the first 4 too so i know where you're coming from. when i would train for football all we did was HIIT, because thats what football is full speed, stop, full speed stop. I've been out for about 6 months now and all the conditioning is gone, its just something you have to…

for today, i baked some marinated bonless skinless chicken breasts in teriyaki and chili sauce with a cup of brown, and a cup of green beans

from the looks of it, and what I understand of HITT, you should alter what you are doing just a bit. start with at least 5 minute warm up, what I like to do is warm up, stretch, and warm up again. I only do this because stretching when you arent "warm" is not nearly as effective as when your muscles are warm. But anyways,…

i asked a similar question about homemade chili i make, and someone gave me this link. It may work, may not, but worth a try!!! recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp.

found it!!!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/57979-stuffed-bell-peppers

If you look at the previous posts, someone posted an AMAZING stuffed peppers recipe, I made it the same night at needless to say AMAZING!

thats 1lb/wk. if I'm not mistaken that is the rule of thumb for weight loss.

woahhhh thank you so much, that helped a lot!!!!! So whats everyone's opinion, does this look right?

alright i'm getting extremely frustrated with this, I give up. I thought i had it right then I came out with 70g of fat and there is no way that can be right. if anyone can figure this out, I will be forever in your debt

Sweet man, thats exactly the kind of help that I was looking for. I know how to put muscle mass on no problem, but as far as body fat % reduction goes I only know the basics. The only reason I was focusing on getting the lifting in was because I have been reading that the continual muscle breaking/building will help…

well I'm 6'5, 260, like I said above I use to play collegiate football (recent graduate). After football was over I stopped working out, lost a good deal of my muscle and went from about 275 to my current weight of 260. I try to workout about 3-4 hopefully 5 times a week, but waking up at 4am and getting home at 5:30 puts…

Contrary to many beliefs, fat loss is not spot specific, when you loss weight. Granted when you gain weight you may notice it in some areas more so than others, but in general when you lose body fat its an overall loss not spot reduction specific.

refried beans are easy to make! just buy some pinto beans, let them soak in water for about half a day (changing out the water and tossing any floater beans), then once they have soaked all the water up and are plumped up, put them in a big bowl and take a fork to them. drizzle on some EVOO and enjoy. you can put in some…

just like above, i try to stay away from sodium if i can, glorified name for salt, meaning you'll retain water more, and look bloated, imo. i use to have the same problem with sugars when i started out, when you eat a lot of fruits, especially sweet fruit like strawberries they tend to have more sugars in them, but they…

ohhhh i gotcha!!! i thought it was the other way around in which you set it up to what you use daily and then you try to under cut that. whoops, oh well im still thinking of it that way, extra ON TOP of extra :)

good call both of you!

edamame has TONS of protein, and is a meal in itself. they hav some at costco for cheap and comes with 12 individual bags.

i usually make 1 cup of quaker oats in the morning, i dont even measure the water, and just fill the bowl up into all the oats are submergedwith about 1/4 inch of water, 2 minutes later they are perfect, throw in some craisans and a little brown sugar, yuuuuumy

ya try the "brown rice sushi" some places make, other dont. I had a spider roll the other day that was maybe around 3-400 for the entire roll, if I'm remembering correctly. It also came with some edamame which helps fill you up (protein), followed before and after with tons of water.

i just usually marinate my chicken in some teriyak and cook at 350, after 20 minutes flip it and check for doneness also if you like sweet/spict there is some asian sweet chili sauce that comes in a clear plastic jar about 4 inches tall with a red rooster on it, the sauce is a chunky red, i mix that with some worchester…

You might want to look at some recent research that has been done on vitamins/multi vitamins, I was reading/heard about them not being as healthy for you as they claim. This is based on the fact that the vitamins/minerals they provide are not natural and your body doesnt like them as much as the real thing. I've never been…

Just a heads up, but recent studies are out that are showing taking vitamins/ multi vitamins are as good for you as previously indicated, based solely on the fact that they are not naturally occuring vitamins/minerals. But back to the original poster, make sure you are eating right, getting in your daily calories, etc.…

how come my weight ticker isn't showing up? :grumble: thanks j_g!!!
