I keep apple cider vinegar in my house for cleaning apples with. I think I would barf if I tried to consume it with water. I can't even handle gargling salt water when I get a soar throat.

I started cycling about a month ago and my legs have bulked up a noticeable amount. I think that if you were previously inactive enough and push yourself hard during cardio that you can build muscle. Then again, I feel like I'm going into anaerobic territory on those uphills, so maybe it's attributed to that. I'm no expert.

My mom made me fat. :(

150 lbs. gives you a BMI of 25, which is perfect for an initial goal. Once you get closer to that goal, you can decide if it should be higher or lower based on how your body looks.

The time frame is not too important to me (although I would like to get fit before leaving college in ~2-3 years (plenty of time)); I know that if I stick to current lifestyle, I'll get to my goal weight (180 lbs.) eventually, so my goal is to simply not fall off the wagon.

I've never tried to lose weight while on a diet of fast food and processed foods, so I can't speak on it's weight loss abilities; however, I can say that as far as how the two diets make me feel (as far as energy), there is no difference. My energy feels the same no matter what I eat, no matter how much I eat (within…

90 minutes/15 miles of light/moderate cycling. Between my intense weight training yesterday and having my arms stretched out so long during my ride, my triceps were so sore that I had to use both arms to lift the water bottle to my mouth. Hopefully my muscles adapt soon. :P

Nope, I just stick to stuff that I like that is relatively healthy.

I think that yes, you are supposed to eat them back. It's not as if you body differentiates between calories burnt from basic activity and calories burnt from exercise; therefore, it would seem to be just as necessary to eat your calories back after exercise as it would be to reach your daily goal. I have a problem with…

The only thing that works is to reduce your overall body fat percent, because you can't target specific fat deposits. Toning your leg muscles will make them look leaner faster, however.

-Cold cereal (lots of different kinds) w/2% milk -Bananas -Baby cut carrots -Chicken breast -String cheese Those are the only things I eat regularly. I need more sources of protein; I love nuts, but I'm so bad a portioning them...

I have a mini-fridge in my room. The problem with others getting a hold of my healthy stuff is that to them, it's just another thing to eat, but for me, they're my only things to eat, and they go fast when multiple people eat them, which results in trips to the store every 2 days. I don't like to overstock on perishables…

When I first started drinking water, I hated it too. How I overcame this was seriously just by chugging it; I didn't have too much of a problem drinking as long as I didn't let it linger in my mouth. Now, I don't mind drinking water at all. I don't agree with the others suggestion cold water, but that's just personal…

People around me can similarly force food on me when I'm trying to eat healthily. I've learned to just anticipate those times and save calories for it. Or if I were offered some cake, for example, I'd just indulged them with a small portion; not enough to throw me off for the day. Admittedly, it can be hard sometimes,…

^ That was my post. I had to make a new account because I accidentally chose 'female' for my gender. (I think this is the first site I've registered on that didn't default on 'male'!)
