i dont know. i'd look at it more of a 'under my roof, my rules' kinda thing.

kinda off topic, but just wanted to throw out there that i'm very glad to see there isnt any Muslim bashing going on. very cool. :) and on topic. i'm Muslim and will be starting the fast next week. its all about calories in vs out. if you decide to listen to your mum and fast, then its just about portion control. normally…

im embarassed enough with it hahah. even worried my own wife will see me wearing it ahhaahha. no pictures. but it does help stop sweat dripping all over the floor. will think about getting a bandanna instead. that might work even better.

thanks for the add. some tips for the great adventure you are embarking on. 1. get a nice big bottle of water as you will only have 30 sec breaks to drink it. so no time to run to the kitchen for more. 2. get a towel ready because you will sweat a lot. i recently started using one of those 80's jane fonda type headband…

im finishing up week 4 now. but you can add me and ill bother you if i dont see circuit training or other crazy stuff in your exercise diary 6 times per week!

just work for your food. 45 mins of circuit training and you can chow down a big mac and it wouldnt do much damage. or as another poster mentioned. just dont expose yourself to those foods each day and make your healthy foods more delicious. plain salads suck.

food: pizza snacks: potato chips drink: milkshake dessert: cheesecake or icecream. nvm. frozen cheesecake. fruit: durian i think yeah. that should be about right.

steroids for DOMS?!... thats hardcore.

i dont count sodium. in my opinion, it is not as important as focusing on protein, carb, fat macros.

i use Optimum Nutrition (ON). flavour is pretty good and mixes well in a shaker. also has tons of flavours, but in aus or nz, probably wont have many. probably like me where i am, only double choc or vanilla. http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/100-whey-gold-standard-p-201.html?zenid=0aaee02d9dea2601d18231765b03113d

english, french, malay, mandarin chinese, some japanese.

to you: awesome work. keep it up! to your dude: good going. way to make your woman happy.

i was around the same when i started. had a PT for 6 months and actually put on weight for the first month with the PT doing a lot of lifting and maintaining my net food calories around 2000-2200 . then after the first month or two, then the weight started coming off. dont be in such a rush. drilling yourself will only…

Great progress! Looking good!

google. dumbbell exercises.

currently doing insanity. so HIIT 5 days a week (with a rest day and one 'lite' recovery workout). on rest days i brisk walk 5km or more. try to average about >5000 cals burned per week.

i eat two boiled eggs in the mornings. heres an interesting blog post. http://www.livestrong.com/blog/eggs-or-cereal-which-is-a-better-breakfast-for-weight-loss-2/

i dont plan but it usually ends up being 2 meals a day and snacking in between when i get the munchies.

sushi rocks. but reducing carbs makes me leave sushi for special occassions. luckily though.... sashimi frickin rocks too!

drink some casein protein right before ending your fast. its apparently slow absorbing. so it should last a few hours in your system. as compared to whey which is absorbed very fast. never used it though. so you can google about it.

i suggest to just do the workout. or if your time is really pressed you can grab/youtube the insanity fast and furious workout.

i use ON whey double choc. pretty good taste and mixes well which is great since i can save time in pulling out/washing the blender. and already includes BCAA's.

i used to live in melbourne. if its in the CBD you should be wary. i think in some of the better suburbs you will be alright. but the issue is the occasional drunk uni kids or other drunk people which may or may not be dangerous. but will be annoying. melbourne has pretty nice roads and traffic is not so crazy. i mean most…

do you need to run outside? cant you just buy some weights or exercise dvds and do a home workout? i'm a bloke and damn if i'd be running outside at 5am alone in the dark.

no dedication, no weight loss. you cant force her to lose weight. she has to want it. really really want it.

any of the citrus type fruits should alter the water flavour in a decent way. but for me still doesnt taste as good as plain water...

feel free to add me. looking for more buddies to help me dig out of this hole we've gotten into. daily logger.

water is win.

i eat back half of my exercise cals and not all since the exercise cals in MFP can be flawed and i dont have an HRM.

great post.
