Hormones. "Starvation mode" in the true sense of the word doesn't exist until you're VERY thin, but to think your hormone levels aren't affected by eating too little is to deny what our bodies are designed to do. It's like cutting grass. You shouldn't take off too much at one time. If you do, you'll end up with short…

You can also change your step goal from 10,000 to any particular number you want. I have a friend that has his set at 7,000 because that's a challenge for him and it motivates him more than 10,000 that he'll never reach.

I think the estimate is because most people aren't taking full strides all day. Going from the couch, around the counter to the fridge or from the toilet to the sink isn't going to be a full stride for most people.

BODYGLIDE! It's a lifesaver. You can get it at academy sport, ****s, Amazon, etc. You'll thank yourself on every run.

It's really good at measuring the calories you burn in a day. With a HRM, you see how many you burn for a specific time of exercise, but with a fitbit, you can see how the rest of your day went. It also syncs up with MFP and can adjust your calories for you on here.

The one you're the most likely to stick with. Your body will probably like the 6 times a week better. You can also change it up depending on how you feel that week.

What does your resting heart rate look like? First thing in the morning. A higher hear rate with longer recovery time is a big indicator of overtraining. If resting heart rate is higher than normal for you or your recovery time (time it takes your heart rate to recover after exercise) seems to be longer, I would back off a…

I didn't have a chance to read the other comments, so I apologize if this is something that was already said. If you are binging or eating too much when you get home, it's because you're depriving yourself too much during the day. Your brain can't store energy and relies on blood sugar to function. If you don't keep blood…

Insecurity. She wishes she had the discipline to do what you're doing and it makes he feel bad. Now that she lashed out, she can't start doing what you're doing because she would come off looking like a hypocrite. She's in a rut she doesn't know how to get out off. Classic psychology.

Insanity is better short term, but you'll pay for it with higher risk of injury and joint pain. P90X (to me) is more enjoyable, but the workouts are a lot longer. I feel that it does a better job of building a fitness base and muscle base instead of just trying to burn as many calories in as short a time as Insanity does.…

Caribou Blend! I also like the starbucks house blend, but it's a little expensive and not better than the caribou.

It definitely has some similarities to insanity, but it has a lot of different exercises. I think the emphasis was making a workout that was easier on the joints, and they do a better job showing low impact alternatives for everything. Everyone I know (only 3 couples) that have done both, enjoyed Insanity, but like T25 a…

Yep. Drink it. Unless you have a medical condition, it's not bad for you anyway.

There is no physiological difference. A lot of people work out in the morning because that way things don't "come up". It's too easy to feel too tired to work out or have something that pops up that we have to do during the day. That being said, I can't make myself get up in the morning to work out. I want to, but it's…

First, you take a picture and send it to all of your family saying, "Look what I found at ____ house! Can you believe it???" Then you throw them away.

You're right, and I do. The problem is more noticeable when looking at long threads with many pictures. It would be hard to go through 10 pages of success stories and ask.

Well, it also helped me not to snack at night. I would eat from 12-8. By 8, I felt like I had done 90% of the diet, which helped me to fight the urges to snack at night. I never ate breakfast to begin with, but cutting out the snacking alone saved me 200-500 calories per day.

Exactly this. You saved me from having to type it out.

Might be motivation to up your game :)

You look happier in the first picture.

I think the problem occurs when you don't eat and then binge later. If that's not a problem for you, I don't think one day of eating less is going to hurt anything. You can just add it to a day later this week when you are hungry.

Genetics. Same reason some people have stretch marks, or freckles, or cellulite, etc.

That's what she said... (to the title)

Let them sit in cold water for 10 minutes before peeling.

Check e-mail for 20 minutes and go back to sleep. Is she good looking?

I'm all for eating any kind of meat and drinking any kind of milk. As a matter of fact, if I could afford it, i would probably eat steak every day. That being said, why so mean? I think they're right that we don't NEED cow products. You sound hungry.

How long before you tell us?
