you must be an amazing photographer because you look no where even close to 220 in the yellow shirt.

wow amazing job, keep at it remember it is a life style change and you will stay happy with yourself

Is it possible somedays you are pushing yourself alittle harder then another day?

I am a proud soldier right now. We have worked so hard to get this man and finally it pays off. This finally shows all Americans that we stand by them and back them. so for the 7000+ that has died by his actions THIS WAS FOR YOU!!!!! As far as things to come. No matter what happens it was going to happen anyway this wont…

They can but it is really really hard to get one.

Yes I am on meds have been about a year now. And yes I do eat very healthy my nutritionist said there isnt much more i can change. Now the Dr. is checking to see if there is anything else wrong. to day i burned roughly 1400 cals in one work out so im hoping to have some kind of change.thanks guys

I say same as above check your shoes at first if it wont go away look into a knee brace with a support in front. the one i use has a hole in front that supports my knee cap and i work out roughly twice a day once on my own and once with the army.good luck

My last name is Spriggs, all my life since kindergarten everyone calls me Springs. I am now in the Army and it is on my shoulder all the time people look right at it and say Springs,lol very frustrating. Now my first name is Michael one of the most common names out there and always spelled the same but everyone always asks…

Very true and a great way to look at it all. Congratulations on your success, you look great

Even though I do agree with you. The American population has rated the gym as the best place to get a date. so with that said they are going to continue to do it. I have a friend that works out everyday and I must say at least once a week he meets someone else.

I aswell am active duty now 6 years as combat arms in the army. Just make the decision that you really want to do something different with your life and you will do well. most the people that join these day dont last anymore. make sure it will benefit you and it is the commitment you want, good luck man.

Sprinting is the only good way to get speed, In army we incorparate 30;60 and 60:120 where your sprinting and then recovering. this will get you where you want fast do atleast 2 miles worth of these to see a good progression.

It took forever for my levels to get straight and it took my nutritionist to explain it to me. you have to have a balanced diet the right about of fruit veg and protein. also when you get your blood done make sure you fast 8 hours prior no matter what dr says. this should help you. I wish you luck if you need anything just…

I have been diagnosed since i got back from iraq 2010, i am on 125mg of synthroid. can feel a difference but energy always sucks. i also must work out alot. bad thing is this disease might get me kicked out of army eventually if dr.s cant make a decision. make sure you get a good dr. mine is very knowledgeable but it seems…

Shin splints occurs either when shoes are old like said above or you are breaking into a new style of cardio. I got these really bad when I went to boot camp. As for helping them ice them after you run and take alittle ibprofen or similar. they will heal when you continue with your workouts.good luck

I prefer a slightly curvy women, healthy but not skinny,if you can see ribs theres a problem,lol. as far as self confidence that means alot because that means they will keep there self where they are or improve alittle. you are very beautiful dont worry about anything.

I know in my case being in the army i burn roughly 800 to 1500 calories a day so trying to eat that much more is hard for me. my diet is 1900 already so adding that to it is putting me at 3000+. And I choose not to eat it all because if i do it will be junk with my kids,lol. but honestly it isnt easy for me to eat 3000+…

Well I as well have graves disease but I have hypo, I am also a NCO in Army so it is really hard to have to be at my peak and still deal with this. Here is what I do, its hard but it works. Must people dont condone dietetics, but for us it gives us enough energy throughout the day. also you dont have a choice to slack we…

In basic training this is a tactic they use to help us eat right and get on track, you will eat less and feel full longer. we never did the 15 min prior we had to drink ours then eat what we could makes more sense to me our way because the water hasn't started to digest yet it is in the stomach with the food,good luck guys

not really a recipe but you can buy the wheat pancake mix,it is very good...

Fort Hood here!!!!!!

If your in dis belief it is best to get a hrm, just to keep your mind set right. I aswell do some workouts like you and comparing my hrm to this site, for me atleast it is very very close. But different body type and so on will lead to different results,good luck!!!!

Are you going by just weight or are you actually measuring yourself. You have to remember muscle weighs more then fat as you tone and burn fat you build muscle so all experts actually say dont worry about weight worry about measurements. also you said you cals are 1200 and no more, are you actually eating all 1200 or are…

yes you do want to eat them. when you set up the program it calculated everything for you, basically from what im told from friends at bodybuilding.com is if i get 1900 a day and i burn 900 basically i should replenish atleast 800 of what i burned. that way your body does not enter starvation mode. so you can judge for…

Alittle late but I am Army stationed in Ft Hood TX, doing same as you trying to boost pt and body fat, good luck man use this program for everything and it will help out alot.
