that is not one of my favorite foods, but whenever my company hosts a client, they have a huge spread of bagels in our common area. as soon as the meeting is over, all us worker bees are allowed to plunder it. I used to make it my mission to save as much money as possible by loading up on free stuff like that. my favorite…

My statement was that both products are designed to help me (as i said) "train harder and longer with less soreness and recovery time." That's the only link I made. The way it was presented to me was that some people use it as a safer, legal alternative to sterroids. I dont think I am fueling any myths in those statements,…

I do cardio seven days per week and weights 4 days per week. 2 days of shoulders/back and 2 days of arms/chest. I suggest that. do cardio every day. if you're dying today at 20 minutes, try 25 tomorrow. and start out with 4-5 exercises for the body groups I mentioned on those days. on shoulder/back day, do military press,…

what does that mean?

I know 35 is too old to admit this, but I LOVE Beefaroni. And I like it unheated, straight out of the can. with a big pile (20+) of saltines. i like to have enough crackers to not need a fork of spoon. but it's been ages since I had it. those 800+ cals would wreck my day. but when i walk through the store and see it on…

My main advice is a total change in values/expectations. You gotta want it to happen, and you have to take the steps to change your life. If you begin this quest by asking how you can lose weight and still eat bad foods and be a couch potato in the evenings, it doesnt seem like you really have a desire.

I taught kindergarten for my student teaching credit. I knew I was never going to be a teacher, but I had to complete it to graduate. It ended up being one of the best experiences of my life, although the teacher of the class (a friend of mine) said she got a lot of calls at home asking her why there was a man in the…

I wonder if I am the only person in the world who follows my daily calorie formula. It is: (Morning weight X 10) - 1,000 This morning I weighed 255, so my calorie goal is 1,550. 255 X 10 is 2550. 2550 - 1000 = 1,550. Each time I lose a lb, I drop 10 calories from my daily goal. I will probably keep this up until I get to…

The only true way to get back to your old self involves some plutonium, a DeLorean and a flux capacitor.

That sounds complicated. :-)

I am relatively new to this board and the chatter around weight loss. Not unlike what is found on sports message boards or online discussions about movies/tv, I've noticed there seems to be a few hot issues that immediately receive canned responses, repeated in almost cult-like uniformity. One examples is carbs. If someone…

"dump her" is really not an option because she already left me yesterday. While I was at the gym, no less. We had 4th of July plans, and I hit the gym at about 2pm so we could head out later. When i got home, all her stuff was gone. No note.

For the record, I joined the gym, bought my treadmill and tried to start to change before I even met her. It's just that the lbs have melted off me since I have added this stressful creature into my life.

I wouldnt say I am doing this for "her" as much as all the gals like her from my past. I have heard the "you are perfect in every way, except that I am not attracted to you" line too many times. In all previous incidents, I walked away from the gal and judged them harshly for being so shallow. But I decided earlier this…

I am a firm believer that it isnt the kind of food you eat; it's the total calories. If I eat nothing but chocolate-covered bacon and keep my total calories intake under 1,500, I will lose more weight than if I ate 2,000 calories of protein shakes and salads. The reason the low carb diet works for me and others is because…

Super Size Me is a good little film, but it's sadly far from scientific research. It would be nice if we could actually see someone do something like this without an obvious agenda and desired result. Calling his film a "documentary" is like calling the red-faced, screaming pundits on the nightly cable news channels…

Be careful. I do about 7 miles per week and I am sometimes dangerously close to severe pain in my shins and feet. Dont try to tackle something too hard, too soon and end up getting hurt. Crawl, walk, run.

I shoot for a ratio of 1:1:2 of grams of carbs to fat to protein. A good day for me now is 75 grams of carbs, 75 grams of fats and 150 grams of protein. We all have different body chemistry, so the same thing won't work for everyone. I follow this ratio because I feel weak if I don't have at least 75 carbs, but anything…

The inventor of this diet is also trying out the "Deep Fried Mayonaise Balls" diet and the "30 Second Abs" exercise program.

Before you exercise, your shake should have a 1:1 ratio of calories from protein and carbs. After a workout, it should be 2:1 in favor of protein. When I used to drink a lot of shakes, I'd follow these formulas: Before Workout: 4 oz fruit/berries 8 oz skim milk 4 oz sunny d 6 oz Carb-buster yogurt 1 scoop protein powder…

I do an hour on the treadmill every saturday and burn 450-500 calories. It only takes me 40 minutes on the elliptical to hit 500. With that said, if someone challenged me to burn as many calories as I could in 5-10 minutes, i would pick the treadmill. Throw the incline up to level 15 and set the MPH in the 2.5-3.0 range.…
