Bolded part explains all your previous commenting. Never mind.

Ummm!!! Running is not the only activity in the world people of the world do. But carry on you are at world's highest pedestal.

This Hippie does. Do you see at any point .... at absolutely any point OP referring to word "weight loss" in their post. Heck we are not even in Weight Loss section.

My training plan requires prior to 2 weeks before race day I do a long run outside that usually last more than 2 plus hours. But what puzzled me most about your comment was how do you know people are on particular machine for 2 hours. What do you do in gym for 2 hours? Observing people?

Interesting you would say that. Just today I mentioned that I would be heading to gym in the evening for Strength Training upper body. But then looked up the weather.com and we are getting rains for next 4 days. I'll be working in my yard instead this evening. ST will be done tomorrow evening in the gym b'coz tomorrow we…

I know right. I felt the same way. I get to headrest on A minus cup size. Ndj, Though I absolutely agree you were commenting with no ill intention whatsoever, and it was meant to lighten up the thread mood, you have no idea what the f###king damage some of these articles in Shape and Seventeen are doing to the self esteem…

Whey Protein powder..... My favorite is Isopure Zero Carb Vanilla. I'm on low carb and this totally works for me. I get 50 grams of protein for 2 scoops.zero carbs. It mixes very well and I like taste too. I wanted to write on your status but comment button just won't work. Besides someone can use this information

I know right. I felt the same way. I get to headrest on A minus cup size.

OP, That's ^^ spot bulking.

We need one more confirmation and we seal the deal on this "gold". Jus' one more vote. Anyone?

Boobs are overrated. Jus' saying.

That's the word - Ovo-lacto vegetarian People who eat eggs but are otherwise vegetarian. I have a colleague who is ovo-lacto vegetarian and he told me that sometime back but I forgot what the word was.

YEAH!!! I know you are not questioning. We are having a conversation here. Actually I'm learning too. I had no idea Vegan was a "lifestyle. I thought it was diet. :)

OP said they are allowed to cook egg whites @ home though the family has stayed vegetarian. They have been saying the family is "strict vegetarian". I think OP isn't a vegetarian anymore. Pescetarianism maybe.

Paneer will give you bang for a buck - fat plus protein.

1) Toor, Moong, Chana Daal. Daals are high in protein. 2) Tofu and or Paneer 3) Beans 4) Chick Peas or Chole 5) Chia Seeds (add them to your cereals) ... They are extremely popular amongst Indians.

@MikaMojito - Not related to your thread but since you are from Germany I have a question for you. I have heard/read that people don't talk much to each other @ gyms in Germany even if one sees them day in and day out, let's say at spin class or Yoga class or even in weight rooms. Is this true?

You have to switch your thought process. You cannot expect to build muscle while in the mind frame of weight loss. Either that or try re-comp. I'm re-comping. Build Muscle at Calorie Deficit. It's a slow process but there is no doubt it will get you muscle and you get to eat nutritionally dense food 80% of the time 20%…

+1. Exactly my point.

You I can't ignore b'coz of Leo. ;)

How in the world can you ever tell what emotions are going on with the person on the otherside on the internet you are conversing with? I can never tell if person is upset or happy or winking or whatever if I'm conversing on internet. I don't have that technology as yet. Anyways since you are saying I was upset .... just…

No that's one of the way I see changing goals. Like I mentioned before I joined MFP to loose weight. I lost weight but I'm still on MFP. I haven't deactivated my account. I'm now here for Fitness and Exercise. Who knows few years from now it could be something else. Maybe Bulk. But I know for sure my goal will be…

Agreed! But they only are able to advertise on any particular site b'coz you are on that site for a reason. If I joined MFP for weight gain, then I become a client for the advertisers. If I joined MFP for weight loss, then I become a client for the advertisers. If I don't join MFP, then advertisers have one less client to…

I said "....who knows" . I would suggest you read the entire conversation and not just the last comment and within the last comment not just one sentence. It will help.

Sure but that's not my point. My point is people who joined solely to gain weight would be moving to next goal after their "goal" is achieved. I'm sure ambitious people seek more than one goal. Their next goal could be weight loss who knows. I however strongly believe MFP has more advertisers gearing towards weight loss…

Go away!!! There is only one puppy here. Leo. He'll bite you. Leave.

You lost weight. didn't you? Was that before you joined MFP or was it after? The reason I'm asking is because people change their goals over a period of time and move from Weight Loss to Maintenance to Weight Gain to Motivation and Support. I was in Weight Loss when I joined but now I primarily see myself in Fitness and…

Cheap Wine full of added sugars (what they call a "Sugary Wine"). Dry Overcooked Turkey/Chicken Patty. Any Noodles in Chinese Restaurant that aren't well sauteed. Pathetically watered down Indian Curry.

Start out walking. I was 287 pounds - not at my heaviest. I lost most of my initial weight by walking. Move to C25K program after you have been regularly walking. Track miles you walk everyday.

@yirara 1) I read this article sometime back and the woman runner is talking about her experience in 1980s... http://www.ksbw.com/news/central-california/monterey/monterey-marathoner-from-iran-posed-as-boy-so-she-could-run/25664332 2) And then there is this article about an American man visiting Tehran inspiring author to…
