answer: Get another trainer. You don't have to do oatmeal. I hate it too. However, I recently tried steel cut oats in yogurt. I like it, but it's not exactly interesting or tasty. It's just filler IMO.

An acquaintance I haven't seen since August 1st ---> "Oh, I see you stayed skinny." Me---> "Well, I'm working on getting muscular." Her ---> "Oh, just stop. Why don't you go over there (points to table full of food at a party) and eat something!" She mumbles to my sister in law about how she "Does everything right and…

Their bread turns soggy. Nuf said.

Check out nerdfitness (http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/ under Free Resources) for some exercises within the hotel room itself. I might be doing some of these while in Vegas next week. Or, I'll do a lot of walking and lifting (drinks).

"I eat twice the calories you eat just to lose weight" ^^^dg09 posted progress pics last week and it's incredible. Follow him to see what's worked. or somethin. :) Remember, most people here are trying to help. We use sarcastic language a lot. What people say in writing is different than what they'd say to your face. It's…

Also, eat more healthy fats. Have some extra virgin olive oil with your broccoli. Have some almonds. Have some sour cream or cream cheese for chris'sakes. You have to eat more than 1200 especially with the amount of cardio you say you are doing. I say, eat an hour before and within an hour after your workout. Eat a ~200…

Rumor. Old. http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/starbucks.asp You could try fact checking your things about s*bucks and no, I'm not a fan of them. Their service is fast, however.

No. not really bothered. I remember back when I took a nutrition class in college and had two instructors. One, thin and had previous eating disorder issues (she admitted). The other a little heavy. Who knows what path led her to that job, but she still knew her stuff. I still learned a lot from her. So, there's also a…

I read this guy's blog yesterday and thought it was hilarious. Maybe you'll get some bits of good info out of it. :) Or not. Shrug. It's work safe: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/dsjohndrow/view/converting-the-heathen-438529

plain cheese cake with graham cracker crust. have not had it since...oh, wait, they had mini ones at a work event. Yeah, haven't had it in about 2 weeks. Don't even want the real size anymore cause I cannot even enjoy it.

I was envious of those types of people when I was in my late teens and 20s. Now, it's caught up to them. The peeps I know that would scarf down a bag of doritos, (well, they were actually holding a small bag of doritos) but eating maybe 10 of them, drinking half a can of Coke, and deciding they didn't want them. So, they…

Thanks everyone! I realized that the New Rules of Lifting book also has a recipe for a coffee protein shake. silly wabbit.

hello everyone. I've noticed two things since I've been lifting with weights (moved off the machines). One: I have really vivid dreams Two: My voice turns deeper after I have a lifting session -- I swear. It lasts until the next morning and then I'm back to my normal voice, which isn't high-pitched at all. Does this happen…

When food gets reheated in a microwave and is covered with plastic wrap, what happens to the food? Does the plastic leach into it? i'm in a discussion with the boyfriend about this. I never cover my food with plastic, he always does. Wraps it like it's a bleeding wound. What's your overall theory on cooking in microwaves?…

lol. Awesome, and congrats on losing your pants!

PMS?

>>all i wanted was some advice << And that's what we gave you. You didn't ask to look at our diaries, that is a different question. >>i can see that I am getting advice from people that don't even want to show their diary << A cardiologist I knew used to eat one Dove Chocolate Ice Cream bar every day. It didn't mean he…

One thing I noticed is that going back approx a week, there were days when you only ate 700+ or 800 calories. That's not good. You need more veggies and not the frozen kind. You could probably be better served by cooking some chicken breast and eating stuff like that than hot dogs and mcdonald's breakfasts. Those are all…

18.8 measured by bioimpedence or whatever it's called. Ideally, I'd like to be around 15 or 16.

Like. Because you said "dodecahedron" and your grammar is spot on. If nothing else, your post was entertaining. I can never tell if a lawyer is being sarcastic or not. -Itchy from White Breads, Katey

Really, Red Lobster? the stuff that comes off a frozen box? Really? actually, just skip the pseudo meat in the burger and get fries and a choco shake to dip said fries into.

Ditto. This is why we like it cold. It's not cooked. I think the concept of heating oats, then pouring some cold cows milk over them, and then adding sugar is strange. Hot--then Cold. Blam, yuk. Coffee with cold milk=win. Oatmeal with cold milk=lose.

Congrats!! Your muscles are holding onto a lot of water. That's what happens after strenuous exercise. Plus, you were moving for like 3 - 4 hours, right? Your body is freaked out. My guess is that you could have easily eaten 2000-2300 calories and been fine that day. Not all before the race, that is. keep drinking tons of…

okay, sounds like you know what you're doing cause you've been down this road before. Sorry, I guess I could have given you the benefit of the doubt instead of telling you to drink more water and blah-blah-blah. :) I second the greek yogurt and I third the weight training. I wouldn't strap weights to my ankles, but that's…

I'm not a fan of rice milk as it's got added oil. If you're into that sort of thing, i guess it's fine. I really didn't like the taste at all. I, too, break out (in zits I'm assuming you're saying) with high-fat cows milk things. Does nonfat milk do this to you? I've tried coconut milk in small quantities and i just "feel"…

What do you mean by toning? How do you define that? Are you saying you have zero muscle? You will lose weight by eating less calories, counting everything you put in your mouth, drinking 64 oz minimum of water per day, avoiding alcohol and exercising. You can also start weight/resistance training 3x per week for fat loss.…

i have no idea what this diet entails, haven't clicked the link. But, I wanted to warn you about tea tree oil. I love the stuff, but have learned the hard way that if you don't dilute it, it will leave red scars. I have used it from full strength and diluted with water on a cotton ball --- not even sure that was enough.…

weenis. (wheee-NIS) it's getting harder to hide it.

To see bulky, look at my profile photos of me in a navy blue tank. My arms and chest are big and wide and fat. (that day I weighed 168 or so.) Then, look at the peach colored tank photos of after 2 - 3 months with some weight training and eating well. This is just showing me raising my arms above my head to take the shot,…
