When he uses the handicap button to open the door at the mall.... And he's not even handicapped. Mm hm, love me some bad bad boys!

I started spinning a few weeks ago, and have gone nearly every day since. It's fun and very addictive. Here are some tips for the newbie: 1. Go 15 minutes early, ask for help setting up your bike and get a nice, easy warm up in before the loud, thumping, heart-pounding music begins and the pace ramps up before you can…

I too did RI30, P90x, etc and thought I was lifting. Try out HEAVY lifting and you will see a difference.

Whats 'eating' clean' involve ? Mostly buying into misconceptions and pseudo-science. And also flushing cash down the toilet. Tiny germs of truth covered in layers of confusion. Better to look in to and understand IIFYM.

I asked my doctor what my "ideal weight" for my height and build are, and keep that loosely in mind. However, my real goal is a clothing size and BF%. Weight is just a number. And here's why I say that.... When I was in high school, I weighed 160 and fit a size 14. Now, 17 years later, I'm 160 again but a size 8!! That's a…

Simply fantastic progress. Keep it up!

My doctor says nothing but lots of time (upwards of 2 yrs?) and really great genes will make my loose skin "shrink up". I lift heavy and have great abs, but it's likely no one will ever see them! So I hear you, but think this P-H idea is likely a gigantic waste of money.

I don't log exactly what weights I'm pulling or how many reps/sets, but I do log my NROL burn as well as cardio. I don't care how it affects my diary numbers, I just like to see my work in black and white.

YOU'RE ! TWENTY ! ONE ! Oh, FFS :noway:

NELSON! (remember them? no? neither does anyone else... *sigh*) :ohwell:

Unless you'll otherwise be weighing in naked, it doesn't make sense to change the number based on the fact that you're wearing clothes today. Or do you plan to always deduct 2 lbs? And, if so, what's the point?

LOVE this. Also, why are you not on my FL?

Lies, I tell you! This is and olllllllld idea, and completely false. Let's say it together, kids... DIETARY FAT WILL NOT MAKE YOU FAT !

Dietary fat will not make you fat, so my answer is ALL OF IT! ;)

I'm also an asthmatic runner. When I'm feeling low in any way, I take time off. You won't lose that endurance unless you takes LOTS of time away. A week will not hurt you!

Absolutely. Sometimes I think I'll always be fat in my head. One thing that comes to mind is body shapers. I wore them for so long that I feel like I left home without my bra (that old nightmare!) if I go without one, though I clearly don't need them anymore. I still find myself saying I'm fat, for instance "Yeah, I do…

It is extremely doubtful that you are actually going over your protein needs, and DO ignore what MFP says you should be getting. For example, I'm 5'5" and 157, 35 yo and lift every other day. My daily protein goal is 165, which I find very hard to hit without supplementation, and I'm a big meat eater too.

Add protein powder to your oatmeal, DONE! I also add peanut butter or pb2, flax, nuts, almond milk, etc to balance it out. Now that's a meal.

Bumpity

Dude, you look fantastic.

That would be the look of bada$$ery.

Yo is awesome. Haters gonna hate. So hate on if it makes you feel better. Meanwhile, lady lifters look like goddesses!

Buy the ORIGINAL book.

*sigh* This thread makes me sad. And hungry.

My results keep me going. Because if I had ever given up on any of the 435 days of what I think of as my "ultimate remodel", I wouldn't be able to proudly display this awesome ticker. *points*

Salsa!

Wear an HRM to get a general idea of your burn, though it's not accurate for strength. Or, just use mfp's suggestion for strength training. I don't recommend eating back the calories anyway, so it really doesn't matter for most people.

If you enjoy hunger and losing muscle, sure, why not?

@Shaw777775: 2? :wink:

When quoting narrow-mindedness of such proportions as this, you might wanna be careful about removing the [/quote ] *sigh* can be tough on the forums with iPad!
