urgent!

I'm not sure of the weight difference, it's not too huge, but the confidence, arm size, and face size are most obvious. Also, the weight difference isn't too great because I lift, but I look very different and feel very different most importantly, still feel i have a ways to go though the first is my high weight around may…

you're not building any muscle on that calorie limit, it's WAY too low, so your body is going into starvation mode and it's trying to keep everything you have and turn it into fat and store it, so up your calories to at least 1200 but try to find your BMR and up it to that (mine is 1500 something) and you may gain a couple…

For chicken salad I don't ever really make it at home, but there's a place I often get it when I eat lunch there and there it's mayo (not super mayo-y cause I don't like it either) grapes and almonds and celery and it's great on a bed of lettuce (i make lettuce wraps) for tuna salad, i never order it out, but i do make it…

it's really nice for baking to replace butter, and it doesn't leave a coconut taste if you use it in regular cooking, but the thing is you should only use it to replace butter, because coconut oil, like butter, is a saturated fat (it's solid at room temperature), and so if you are usually using a lot of olive oil and…

Awesome! here are mine ~May 2012 Tonight!

well, the noodles aren't bad, they're just like any other noodle, i would buy the asian kind, where you add the packet of soup and stuff separately (there are lots of kinds, just not the top ramen) and add less of it, 1/2 or even 1/4 is fine, it also has the oil and the veggies to add, so add less oil, and add your own…

wash kale really well dry completely (i usually spin it twice in a salad spinner and then also dry well with paper towels) toss in a bowl with olive oil (i used garlic infused) and make sure every piece has some oil but none are over saturated place on a baking sheet on parchment paper and spread out so they aren't on top…

For me I always like to have it around, if it's always around and accessible it's like it's not taboo so I don't need to eat it all. And if you let yourself have it every day it's not like this is my 1 chocolate day, it's like okay I have my chocolate now, and I'll have it again tomorrow. Just take out what you want and…

feel free, that's the point of this post, insecurities or not, I want to know what others see

thanks and I know all this but that wasn't the point of the post

Like i said, I eat at TDEE-10% and i just upped it because I think I was eating too low before, I am really focused on diet, I do eat "bad foods" like ice cream and homemade vegan gluten free cookies but in moderation, in measured out amounts, and I log it all, so I don't really know where i would be going wrong with my…

what deficit do you eat at? I had mine very low, like probably under BMR, and I just upped it a lot (500 calories) to 2000, planning on eating around 1900 something which is my TDEE minus 10%

Question about running and heart rate?

Honestly i don't know what my PB is because I haven't tried, I will tomorrow! but what i do is 8 reps of 100 lbs but it's easy I could probably do hmm 200 or a little more for 1 rep. I'm 5'8" and 160

I'm assuming you use dumbells, I use the assisted bench press, so the bar is about 45 pounds, and if I'm just back squatting I will put 55 lbs on each side, so that's 155 lbs in total (but assisted) but my legs have gotten smaller. Front squats I do with 20's+bar but that's because it's just an awkward position for me and…

I usually run 2 miles at 10 min mile, but if I was just running 1 mile and feeling good I could probably do it in maybe in 7 mins, 7 mins for a single mile is considered pretty average even though most people don't run that fast, I could keep up the 10 min mile for longer than 2 miles and it's getting easier. I'm not…

I just want to stay on the great fitness track I am now, because often at school it gets much harder, but my schedule will be better this semester so I can do it, and I will make myself do it because I enjoy it so I think I will keep it.

I can definitely see it in your face, but because the first picture is so dark it's hard to see how big you are and compare it to the newer picture, but if you can see it in the face then i'm sure you can see it other places as well. However, with people that are morbidly obese it will take longer for just general people…

ugly facial expression, look over botoxed @phantastic

I buy EAS chocolate, you can get it at most super markets and like CVS and stuff, it's about $30 I think for a tub with 23 servings, 150 calories each serving and 26 grams of protein. So that's like $1.30 per serving for the same amount of protein as 4oz of grilled chicken, so I think it's a good investment. I have it when…

Psychology and East Asian Studies

nobody answered the other questions: people who have significantly upped calories, did you gain first?

I see lots of people doing this stuff, clearly not logging everything, but I try to be very careful, I add condiments that have any calories (the only things I don't add are hot sauce and plain mustard which both have zero calories and just sodium, but I keep in mind that there is sodium in them), I don't really use any…

stay at home dad

you've got nice long hair

it's based off my TDEE but then minus 10% so the deficit of TDEE is built in, so if I burned some more calories wouldn't it up that 10% to be higher when I just want it at 10%?

thanks, anyone else, I still kinda feel like my mom is lying

For me I get like very mixed messages, like you look great but you dont' need to lose any more or do anything, and then like from my mom kind of like judgements when I have something "bad" to eat, I don't know, it annoys me that I work out more than anyone in the family, and am definitely the healthiest, but even after…

nice skin and lips
