So...Basically an advertisement for Crossfit? Right. Humans have evolved. While tens of thousands of years ago our bodies may have thought we were being chased by lions or whatever else...We've adapted. Certainly we don't adapt or evolve overnight, but over thousands of years? Yes. I'm calling BS on this article.

I'm getting the "you're too thin" and "you have an eating disorder" comments from a few people. Admittedly I've lost a lot of weight, 55 lbs in less than 18 months, and I was never really overweight to start with, just borderline healthy/overweight. So it seems worse than it is because I'm short and the weightloss is…

I know a few other people around Perth who've done this - and they're all working other jobs or ended up going to UWA to do a full sports & exercise science degree. If you want to do it, I'm not going to discourage you...But be aware of the lack of work at the end of it. The training organisations lie through their teeth…

I've basically gone from being almost a C-cup to barely filling an A-cup in less than 18 months. I'm not going to lie, I have genuinely thought about getting a boob job recently. I have the money, I just don't know whether surgery is really where I want to go. It's a major decision, and with all the stories recently about…

To a point, maybe. But I would have thought there'd be some kind of health and safety issue relating to getting grease and food scraps all over the equipment. As does mine. Yet this is the first time I've actually ever seen anybody eating inside the gym rather than in the lobby where the food is actually sold.

My father has had multiple heart attacks and suffers from cancer in multiple forms. He smokes, he drinks and he eats fried food and red meat like it's going out of fashion. Against all advice from medical professionals etc. As he says, he's an adult and he knows what he's doing. It's his life and he's going to live it how…

Nobody at my gym cares how big you are or how unfit you might be. At least you're there making an effort to improve your situation, and I think everyone at the gym gets that you have to start somewhere. I fully applaud people for getting up and doing exercise! Nobody expects you to be running 10 mph on the treadmill or…

Will try to make it, but I'm at a meeting till about 6.30pm, and that's assuming it runs on time. Food looks good though! Don't think I've ever eaten there before :)

Avocado Stonefruits: plums, nectarines, peaches etc. Chicken breast Fresh salmon Coke zero

Bump for curiosity. Having a similar problem myself.

Before: Jan 2012 - 141 lbs, 26% BF After: Feb 2013 - 95 lbs, 16% BF

Uhhh...For my height and weight, my maintenance calories (before exercise is taken into consideration) is only 1340. What might not sound like maintenance for you may very well be for someone else. I actually eat closer to 2000 due to exercise, but if I didn't...

Absolutely. It's not that my job is sedentary, it's more the travel involved. My job requires me to regularly travel to extremely remote locations in third world countries. Places where there's often no electricity, no hotels, no restaurants. You're sleeping on people's floor. And food is often scarce for these people, so…

I am actually gluten intolerant and have been tested for it. It's worth pointing out that a lot of the gluten free products out there are actually higher in calories than the regular equivalent. Not all, but a lot. And since at the end of the day weight loss is about calories in vs. calories out, a gluten free diet is not…

Cheap $3-5 cotton tank tops from wherever (Target, Cotton On, etc.), and running shorts from Adidas or Nike, and knee-length Skins under the shorts. I go through running tops pretty quickly. Given that I'm a runner, I sweat so much that there comes a point that no matter how many times I soak or wash them that they still…

I went from a 12B/C to an 8A (Australian sizing). It's depressing, but what can you do? I'd rather be fit and healthy than obsess over my boobs getting smaller.

Eh. For what it's worth, I do calorie cycling. And I've lost over 50lbs, and am at 15% BF. It worked for me in combination with some hardcore cardio training and heavy lifting.

I'm a geologist and I was on a consulting job up in the Altai mountains in Mongolia. And I found myself struggling to climb up and down the hills at some of the mine sites. Like seriously struggling. Whereas 2-3 years prior (before my fitness levels dropped) I'd had no problems. So yeah, that was my wake up call. My…

Black Swan - Skinny Hommus Woolworths - BBQ chicken with skin, no stuffing Hass Avocado Makes sense given that I normally have a breadroll with chicken and either hommus or avocado for lunch most days.

Best - "Daaaaaaaaaamn! 6 pack!" - "Awesome!" Worst - "You're anorexic. Go eat a sandwich and talk to a shrink" - said by a complete ***** of a colleague at work. - "You still need to lose weight." - said after I'd already reached a size 0.

Do what my brother did? "This is the menu for the wedding. If you can't or won't eat what's on the menu, please organise your own food." Nobody complained.

Just do what works. Everyone on MFP is constantly on about not eating less than 1200 calories a day. My BMR for my stats is 1050. If I ate 1200 and did no exercise, 1200 calories would cause me to gain. You can't take everything you read on here as gospel. What works for someone might not work for someone else. You need to…

I go over my sugar macro every single day because of my fruit consumption - and it's had no effect on my ability to lose weight. It's not something to really be too concerned about unless you have a medical reason for it. The natural sugars in fruit are less concerning than the processed stuff you get in chocolate and…

Really spicy tomato salsa :D

I don't find her figure attractive at all. I'm not hating on her or anything - but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. She just doesn't do it for me *shrug*

I work 80-100 hours a week. No kids, but my schedule is still mildly insane. I find I hit the wall about 3pm, although I avoid chocolate. The pick-me-up doesn't last long enough. I tend to reach for the stonefruits - plums, peaches, nectarines etc. More nutritious and the pick-me-up lasts longer in my experience.

Biological Age: 32 Virtual Age: 13.6 Average Life Expectancy: 74 Expected Life Expectancy: 92.4 I'm really a teenager again? SCORE!

You're lucky. I also travel about 6 months of the year for work. Except I get stuck travelling to places like West Africa and Siberia. Interesting places, certainly, but...Deep fried "something" is often the only option aside from not eating. There's no restaurants in some of these places - you just eat what's put in front…

Idea (i) fails right from the start. Increasing the average weight per passenger means less passengers allowed per flight. Without reconfiguring the seating on every plane everywhere (to account for the larger bodies), this would mean flying with empty seats. Never going to happen given the small margins that airlines are…

I've been on an Air Pacific flight to Fiji where one of the passengers was so big that he couldn't fit into one of the oversized business class seats. You'd be surprised - sometimes it's really not just a matter of buying more space.
