  • Someone explain to me what the hell is going on in that, because all I see is a cop with a broom pointing at some dude's *kitten*, fast food bags and multiple bottles of some kind of soft drink. Extreme fast-food eating?
  • Holy heck, either Canada's behind the times or everything "unsafe" in the States seems to come up here, ha ha! I never knew they stopped selling Kinder Surprise across the border, or Doritos 3D - I think we just got those 3D Doritos. I do miss fruit-shaped Trix. Now the Trix we have is just coloured Corn Pops. I also miss…
  • I've never used SlimFast (aside from having a try of a few when I was younger and mom bought crate-loads of them - I thought it was rubbish and stuck to chocolate milk, ha ha!), but I did use a meal replacement shake for a bit. I used it because I found I was too rushed in the morning to pack a breakfast and I found just a…
  • I shower and do my hair and make up at the gym after I work out. If I don't get my *kitten* out of bed and to the gym, it means I show up to work looking like crap and I can't have that. Plus, traffic at 5:30AM is non-existent. Traffic at 7:30AM means that if I want to make it to work on time, I have to leave the house at…
  • I'm a bit torn. I really want slim legs so I can enjoy pencil skirts without wearing spandex under it, but if I'm being honest I'd prefer abs. I do a *kitten*-ton of leg-intensive stuff, so I probably won't have "slim" legs, but I certainly have powerful ones. If I could, I'd have legs thick in profile, but "slim" in…
  • I haven't tried NROLFW, but I'm curious as well. I have tried Stronglifts 5x5 and I really loved it as my second lifting program. I've been switching gyms with new jobs, so I've finally landed back at a lovely place with squat racks again, so I'm planning on taking it back up this month. When I started SL, I already had…
  • I remember after losing my first 20lbs looking at my hands one morning and being startled - they looked skeletal to me. I could see my veins across the back of my hands more clearly, my fingers were slimmer and my knuckles were defined. I had a mini-panic attack thinking my hands were wasting away or something, then I…
  • I really like a certain brand (I can't remember the name - the packaging is black and purple) of pre-made kale salad that has kale, brussel sprouts and cranberries. Most of the time, I don't bother with the dressing - the veggies and cranberries make it awesome! I'm not great with raw kale - I really dislike it if it isn't…
  • I gave myself Runner's Knee and Jumper's Knee almost two years ago, now. It's mostly better and I can run and do all my other things no worries, but I wear one of those knee straps or KT Tape while running just in case. I don't know if I can do without for a long distance, but I figure I'd rather be safe than sorry. Also,…
  • I have this occasionally, too. I've found that being highly active (hitting the gym every work day, and 4 sessions of outside physical hobbies - drumming and martial arts) has helped me regulate my moods and confidence very well. There's a quote from Plato (I think) that I really like for body positivity: It's a difficult…
  • Ah, okay! That's awesome! Congrats on the... uh... butt? I have to say, it's probably been my favourite change aside from my forearms that I've noticed while working out - I never realized how much a firm bubble-butt does to make a gal look thinner in the waist. :smile:
  • You don't have *kitten* genetics, you just haven't built your muscle, yet. Don't just squat - look into strength training, too. It'll help your entire body and not just aesthetically. But, yes. Squats for days is a very good start.
  • How did you measure how high your behind got? I've never heard of that before - I mean, I understand, 'cause I can see a difference in my own's... er, height?... but I can't figure out how to actually measure that. How do you do it?
  • Squat. Not sissy squats or smith machine squats, either. Barbell squats. Many. Now.
  • Personally, I think it's a good idea to do some strength training even if you're primarily a runner. If you're running for fun, it's a good idea to do some resistance training to help you keep good form, balance out any imbalances and make sure your legs have the support they need to keep from injury as long as possible.…
  • But what if they were zombie bears?!
  • 5' 1" 132lbs South Pacific Islander here. If I don't work out, my TDEE is approx. 1500cal. At my goal weight of 105lbs (a healthy 20~ BMI for my height - in fact, because I'm Asian it should be lower as my ethnic group is more susceptible to diabetes at lower BMIs than Westerners), I'd have a TDEE of approx. 1450cal. If I…
  • Frankly, the writer's a goddamn snowflake. I'm sure if you told her "your hair looks good today", she'd think you were plotting to undermine her career and see her whoring herself out in a gutter because her hair is actually horrible and how dare you suggest otherwise. Some people need to give others reason to hate them…
  • I don't have enough space to have a home gym at the moment, but I do like the idea of one. Personally, though, even if I had a home gym, I think I'd prefer a gym membership. I like the atmosphere of a good gym and the wider range of equipment that a larger place can have. But I think if I had the space and resources, I'd…
  • It has an accelerometer (sp?) feature that tracks steps while on a treadmill so it can track when you speed up to avoid a crowd of zombs, so it does work. But it is best outside - easier to launch into a sprint without tackling the treadmill's dash and it lends itself better to the imagination. I can't run beside the…
  • If you eat below whatever caloric burn you have during the day without exercise, you will lose weight. But don't think you'll look great if you do your entire weight loss this way without working out. You'll lose weight, but you'll also lose muscle and you won't look "fit". You'll be thin, yes. But not fit. Working out is…
  • I don't know guys. 10 minutes sounds really intense, and this choice thing is just way too stressful. But, y'know what? Once I actually make a decision, I'm sure I'll deserve half a pizza because it's just so hard to dedicate myself to this. Also, 5 minutes tanning sounds very hard. I don't know if I could hold that prone…
  • I use it and I love it. The writing is awesome, the characters are fantastic and the story is really cool. I'm very much into RPG games and that kind of thing, so it plays well into that for me. It also makes running a hell of a lot more fun and being chased by zombs is a great way to work in sprint training. First time I…
  • I agree, what she said is very hurtful. (Out of personal curiosity - was she older? I find old women tend to just say "that's nasty" to pretty much everything - if you're thin it's "eat a sandwich" if you're fit it's "muscles are for men" and if you're fat it's "you must be lazy" - they're just *kitten* in general, ha ha!)…
  • That doesn't quite make sense to me - try again? I'll go with a response to what I think you're writing, though. I get that other things touch the food - I just don't need to see a shirtless person next to me in the store. There is nothing wrong with it, I just have my preferences much like I'm sure you do in some things.…
  • I did IF for a while with a 6AM workout and held off eating until 12PM-8PM. It worked really well for me - I shifted off of it due to changing jobs and location that made the 12-8 window harder to manage and am looking into starting it again now that I'm in a more stable job. I think most people do their window to include…
  • Oh no, not at all. But I don't know where some ladies' tummies have been in my area - I'd rather not risk it with the population that's around here. I'd have the same concerns over a man topless and hovering over things I'mma put in my mouth. Again, to each their own. If you want someone lying on your food, that's your…
  • I've never had a PT, but here's a list of what I'm thinking I'll want to know about them:* Proven education (not this online course *kitten*, but say a degree in Kinesiology or a diploma - something formalized, verifiable and reputable) or equivalent proof in form of previous clients/referrals * Scientific, methodical…
  • I hear ya - I was just explaining my own feelings re:"shirtless" women out in public. I'm a young woman myself and while it should usually mean that I'm okay with us being out and about in sports bras, I'm not. To each her own. Though now I'm confused - you were wearing a shirt and she still said to put a shirt on? From…
  • My alarm is set to "Roman's Revenge" by Nicki Minaj and Eminem. I put on my clothes groggy, grab some cold water and by the time I'm out the door, I'm ready to attack my workout. Pre-workout helps me on days when I'm very beat, too. I suggest you find some music that really gets you in the mood - I second Rob Bailey and…
