Thanks so much for the links...good stuff! There was one other trainer with a story like the 2nd link...he upped his client to 2200 per day! Eventually settled into about 1700 while she was losing I think, then she can maintain on ~2000 - pretty decent and liveable amount! I do wonder if the science changes as amount of BF…

^^ This. It is poverty + our culture. Think of all the pictures of outdoor markets in other countries where you can buy free-range chicken, eggs, locally grown fruits and veggies. I am working in downtown Philly -plenty of poor and homeless in the underground subway area - and there are six Dunkin' Donuts in a .25 mile…

Interestingly i just read in a book that skinner folks tend to be hungrier in the morning than fatter folks....so that is probably the correlation!

completely awesome pic :)

I am interested in the finer points of "proper" vs. "improper' :Confued:

Ummm....it's pizza hut....who cares? We're not talking fine dining here. YOU are more important than what the folks at Pizza Hut think! AND if even the case...your hubby should have said: "Baby, lets to to a restaurant where we can both enjoy our dinner" - plenty of freaking places that have both Pizza and Salad. My…

I know your point is this stuff is ridiculous.....BUT I am completely fascinated....how can this be "protein" and have no calories???? "protein" as a macro has 4 calories per gram....is this actually a macro-delivery of protein or just a collection of aminos? :noway: Seriously i tried to check out their web info - it is so…

Geez....OP...i am SOO SORRY folks cannot just answer your question or not respond if not germane. Why so harsh folks? Anyway, I use Wheybolic Extreme 60 - tastes great and at one scoop has a good nutritional profile and not high in carbs/fat. However my primary goal is fat loss, so I am sure the muscely guys should…

save!

Wow! Interesting! Sounds like a great way to also help others....

fresh tortilla chips and queso...does that count as TWO? (Food Porn thread....)

This....I am a fan of this - confuse your body with the food and the exercise a bit!

Actually on the carb sensitivity - one of the other forums i frequent, the folks claim that they believe they have become more carb sensitive though years of lo carb dieting. There is also claim that you can "recondition" you body to process carbs...."Potato Hack" has been used.....

if you do pick "moderate" or even "heavy" do you still eat back exercise calories or assumed they are already "built" into the setting?

Curious about what answers you get..... I always thought it was the other way - and that folks that have active jobs use other than "sedentary" - if u walk the dog "light" may be appropriate. I do a desk job so i assume my activity is "sedentary" and my 5+ hours of workouts is logged and in MFP plan, I "eat back" my…

My husband has says he loves me either fat or thin. Expect nothing less.....

Moving Comfort Juno or Maia - you didn't mention band size? http://www.movingcomfort.com/DD/sportsbras-DD,default,sc.html I am a personally a big fan of the Fiona - but my girls are not quite as large - i currently wear the 36D in this bra to hold the girls tight - (In reg bras i do the 36DD)

Ok question for those of you that actually understand these sorts of things - Oxy Elite Pro is marketed as a FAT BURNER not a diet pill per se - I think it may be useful prior to workouts. Isn't there a difference btw a "fat burner" and a "diet pill"? From their website: .... set out to develop a stimulant based "Super…

OR If you insist on panties, just be mindful of VPL......:wink:

truly a very large NSV! Congrats!!!

OP - seriously not a silly question! I was always sort of wondering about this too... If i was a lumberjack with no added exercise this is a more clear cut example than an office dweller who moves intensely 5 hours a week!

I have mine set to "Sedentary" b/c i have a desk job. I then log all of my exercise (which in turn adds exercise calories) which is 5 days a week, an hour each time. My calories are added back in (i don't eat these but i do understand by MFP dogma, i am supposed to!) I I was to set my settings to "Moderately Active" - do i…

Stretch those IT bands and Ice, Ice, Ice

whoa - that is a serious roller there!

Thanks for the feedback :)

yea, i am repeating folks, but you might need to go up on calories esp on workout days - also pre-workout snacks are important. My PT recommends something like an apple sliced with peanut butter on it (like tbsp) and do a protein shake as SOON as you complete the workout. I am not up to P90x yet, so you have my admiration…

i am being pretty strict on my diet - so my Deadline is October 31st.

yeah...i spent all of last year not being ready....guess i had to go there first to get here.

i was sort of prepared to be pissed with you ....but i agree! If you make those excuses - just remember they are are just that excuses - you can always make different choices on how you spend your money and time. ....AND for those "depressed" people - working out is a natural anti-depressant! Not to mention losing the…

Completed Day 1 !!!
