The more weight you have to lose the longer it takes to see a significant difference. I'm down 70 but I don't think anyone even really noticed until I lost about 50 and bought some new clothes that were properly fitted instead of wearing the old things I was wearing before. Pictures definitely help! I take one about every…

I think this is a great program for beginners. I was up to week 8 before my accident and am now slowly trying to start over (I messed up my ankle really badly and haven't been able to do much running for the past 6 months) The best bit of advice I will give anyone who is new to running..Start SLOW - I mean painfully slow,…

Most ice cream here (Canada) is 1/2 cup (125ml) for one serving. Most people don't eat 1/2 cup of ice cream. There's a local Gelato place here that offers 'child size' portions which are closer to 1 cup than half a cup - and that's supposed to be for a child. It's scary!

Mots industrialized countries are well on their way to the same sort of obesity issues that we have here in North America. What people here consider a 'normal' portion size is grossly overstated. Plates are getting bigger and so are our waistlines!

Damn, you men have it so easy. I WISH I could eat even half that and maintain - I can get close when I'm in peak performance mode, but I'm so jealous!

I haven't consciously cut anything out though I have made the choice not to keep certain things in my house because the 'moderate portion' that would fit in my calories doesn't exist :P I don't drink calories either just because I simply do not have enough of them to spare anymore. Was great when I could lose weight eating…

It's a personal choice. Mine's open - has been since I started over 2 years ago. I had someone once criticize me for not logging every day because that was the advice I gave her. I missed 1 day that year because I was out of cell range in a little backwater town in Germany on a vacation omfg. It's still open. I'm a lot…

It depends on your stats. You can't use a blanket statement like that because what works for someone who is 200lbs is NOT the same as someone who is 150 and has only a few pounds to lose, or for someone old etc.. Asking a question like this to EVERYONE isn't accurate because 1200 is not ok for EVERYONE. Instead ask…

Same here. Everything I eat is the "full fat, real sugar" version. I plan to eat real food for the rest of my life so it made no sense to me to try to find 'diet' versions of things. I find that it's too easy to fall back to the 'low cal' items and use them as an excuse to be able to eat MORE. I need to learn how to eat…

tl;dr: I started because I felt like *kitten* and exercise let me eat more. I keep going for the rush. I'm hugely competitive with myself, the more I lift, the more I want to ;) Book version :smile: I played all the sports in school for the first few years. When I hit Grade 7 exercising was only for 'jocks' and since I was…

Considering it was meant to apply to protein in powder form, specially in supplements, I'd say yes :P I totally think he's missing something. I fully agree with the 'calorie is a calorie' statement :smiley:

I'm really curious to see the sources also! I'm also struggling with context. Maybe he meant to say that it's used more easily or something? I'm not sure.

Greek Yogurt and boiled eggs are my daily snacks, though normally the yogurt and some additional protein powder are mixed into my breakfast oats. I love nuts but I simply can't eat one serving - it's more like 10 so I avoid them like the plague. Peanut butter is also not too bad if you can manage to control yourself. Bring…

I envy people who can get by with a small break fast. I wish I could - would definitely be easier on my calories! My typical 8am - 11am -Overnight oats made with 40g oats, 20g chocolate protein powder, 100g frozen berries & 1/4 c almond milk - 1 apple - 1 banana - 1orange - 300g assorted veggies - 1 hard boiled egg -…

I'm not going sugar 'free' but I will be cutting back on my sugar because this is something that was working for me previously before I stopped doing it. Unfortunately in the past few months I have found myself snacking more and more on sugary things and I need to stop. I firmly believe that FOR ME, the more sugar I have…

I'd check this one too..it's alot more than JUST saccharin http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/09/artificial-sweeteners-may-leave-their-users-glucose-intolerant/

Old school Metallica, Rammstein, Sabaton, Slayer, Anthrax.. Love my metal!

No one MAKES you wear it. I do what I want. If I wear makeup it's because I want to. If you STILL give a carp what other people think by 25 it's time for some serious soul searching. Your worth isn't determined by 'society', unfortunately too many people still bow to the whims of others. Regardless of how someone looks or…

My friend and I started this program just recently also. We are also on week 6, our long run is this Saturday. We also run outside, but I run on the treadmill quite regularly also. I will tell you that treadmill running is nothing like outside running. I can do half hour + on the treadmill easily but outside.. not so much.…

This is what I do. It's very similar to SL 5x5 with a little more isolation on arms/shoulders. http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/jason-blaha-ice-cream-fitness-5x5-novice-workout I do that M-W-F and jog on T-Th. Currently I'm in a very slight deficit and doing a slow re-comp. Scale isn't moving much but I'm still…

My reply depends on the situation.. Happy or valued WHEN? In a relationship? at work? by people in general? Each one will give a different answer. If it's people in general I could care less.. at work I find happiness in being valued and in a relationship I must be valued/adored or I will NOT be happy at all. I can not be…

I agree with you. Too many "delicate" people around these days. Seriously, everyone needs to lighten up. Im sick of all the "victims" if someone calls you a name who cares? Whatever happened to "sticks and stones"? It's like a big freeking daycare full of 2 year olds whining to mommy. Call me whatever you want, not like I…

A little bit of loose skin will be normal when you have a lot to lose BUT , and especially at your age, most (if not all) will go back to normal over time. The faster you lose weight, the more loose skin you will see. I'm twice your age and have lost 80 lbs so far. It's taken me almost 2 years with the last year being more…

You could always just add an extra 100 cals/ week until you stop losing then decide what you want to do from there. Potentially if you want to lose more you might be a little hungry, that's kind of the point of losing weight. If you 'maintain' at 1800 and lose at 1600 then manually set your calories to 1700 and continue to…

Normally weed makes me want to eat - just saying :P A gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories, a gram of protein has 4 calories, and a gram of fat has 9 calories so by your math you are wanting to eat about 2850 calories (60% carbs, 20% protein, 20% fat) That should help you gain mass (assuming you aren't already really…

Are you on NET 1200 or TOTAL? do you eat back exercise? HIIT is probably the best for fat burning just make sure you are feeding your body. If you are NOT eating back any calories you are not doing yourself any favors. Eat back at least half and STOP the cheat meals. Stick to your calories - losing .5/wk is normal at your…

Last week I was off from the gym, didn't work out at all, went to a 3 day music festival where I drank a TON of beer, and ate everything. I was averaging about 4000 calories a day at least. I didn't log anything... It's a new week. You just start over. If you can't stop cold turkey then just start by eating less of the…

Exactly. It's fine if you still have a lot of weight to lose and a big deficit but when you get down to your last 15 pounds and losing .5/week you can totally trash that deficit (it's ONLY 250 calories / week) in one meal..hell I can blow it in one SNACK.. In one day I can easily eat over 3000 calories without even…

A relationship that is not built on honesty is not a relationship at all. If they are no longer compatible for whatever reason then they SHOULD communicate about why and then communicate about how to fix it (if they even want to) to be honest he should have said something sooner - or better yet DONE something about it.…
