I just ate 93 g of protein for dinner. I believe you need carbs so I couldn't do that, but the protein sounds great!

You need to find some exercise that you actually enjoy. A workout partner makes it more fun... I got into exercise by playing a sport and taking cardio classes. I HATE endless running on a treadmill, I get bored out my mind. But a step/class/spin/kickboxing class? YES Sign me up. I love it! The challenge of working out…

You are setting yourself up for failure. Be more realistic with your goal. 12 lbs in 3 months sounds completely doable, and healthy.

I don't run at all, so I killed 5 miles on the treadmill for the first time in my life.

Took me about 4.5 months. Depends on how much you have to lose.

I am a paddler and I do a few adventure races throughout the year. Mainly longer distance (5+ hrs).

Is there really any decent amount of protein in that small of an amount of quinoa? I could see using like 1/4 cup... but a tablespoon? Also. Use pasteurized egg whites.

My breakfast usually is 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup no-salt cottage cheese, a scoop of protein powder, a tbsp of peanut butter and a tbsp of cocoa. All stirred up into one bowlful of magically delicious!! I will half the recipe if I am not that hungry, but if I know I won't be able to stop work for a mid-morning snack,…

I have big thighs... or at least I used to until I started doing spin classes regularly.... and lifting heavy. My legs have been burning for a year, but for the first time in my life I have been getting compliments on my legs (what?!). I kill it in spin class and it has taken a while, but I am almost pleased. Lift heavy.…

I am considered a large frame. In my profile photo I am 195 lbs and 5'9"... and a size 12. You can see I have quite muscular shoulders and arms, and my back is quite wide. I am a competitive paddler and that is never going to allow me to be narrow on top. I do have a butt but I focus very hard on lower body workouts to…

I needed this today. Thanks!!

Hmm... no comments from women.... Any girls?

I do it twice a week. Anything more than that and you probably could be lifting heavier weight. Challenge yourself!

Thanks bro. Lots of weird articles out there, just needed confirmation.

Have you tried using weightlifting gloves? I find they helped with grip when I first started (I have sweaty hands) and helped build up strength so I don't need them anymore. Just a suggestion. :)

I started in spin pretty much exactly the same way as you. If it is something you really love (i do spin at least twice a week now), I found the cycling shoes actually made it even better!! My workout is better with them, love it even more! I am a mountain biker who doesn't use my cycling shoes when on my bike.... I run…

I wear a HRM for this class and burn about 400 calories in an hour. The bigger you are, the more you'll burn, generally. I am 5'9" and 195 lbs.

Full fat anything.

Someone has to make a joke about being addicted to sucking motions.... come on now.

My friend recently said I would look too skinny at my goal when I said I wanted to be a size 8. Like wtf... ??? I started at 16 and am currently a 12. (she's a size 6 but about 5 inches shorter).

Like you, I am 195 lbs and a size 12. The dress in my photo is actually a size 8 (it is very tight right now and my target outfit).. I don't think I'll ever get much below 170 in a healthy manner.

I am 5'9" and my goal is 170. I will still be able to bench press you.

I eat 1800 calories a day, work out 5 days a week and have lost 23 lbs since September. I have yet to experience the need to gnaw off my own arm and am happy and nice. Edit to say: I am 5'9" and started at 218 lbs.

Nothing wrong with a little 33 year old. :)

This was even funnier when she didn't get it.

It doesn't bother me, if you're comfortable then do it. But if we can see your nipples you should know that we will all talk about you. (and mostly talk about your nipples).

Wtf? You think the Ravens have a chance? No way. I love me some Joe Flacco... but they are the walking dead.

Do not let this girl make your pro-line picks. 0/4. Cheering for the Niners but I think the Pats will take it all. Damn you brady.

I find it totally depends on the protein. I have found a delicious one that I actually prefer just with water.
