def don't want to injure myself which I do keep hearing about with crossfit exercises. im gonna keep working on traditional pull-ups. I'm able to handle heavier weights and im working on my upper back and arms for strength but i just can't seem to do it yet! so far sounds like kipping pull-ups really don't have any…

i never understood things like slimfast. you say you cant afford it... if you want to replace some (or all :noway:) of your meals with a shake, why not just buy protein powder, some milk and make your own? It's bound to more tasty, more nutritious and easier on your pockets. i would never pay 3, 4, 5 dollars a can for…

When I started to feel a strange tightness in my chest from just walking. I was only 22 years old.... I had never felt any real issues from my obesity until that moment and it scared teh *kitten* out of me. Joined MFP that same week.

you know what's so funny about this is that I take being called skinny differently depending on who says it. I hope this doesnt offend anyone but if a white coworker or friend calls me skinny, I know they are saying it as a compliment. When a family member or a black/minority friend calls me skinny, mre often then not it's…

i like using polar heat rate monitors. i use the ft7. the shelf life is a couple of years if you take care of it properly.

Who is telling you these things? Very strange advice. 1. Find out what your TDEE is (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). You can find out using this site: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ 2. Eat the number of calories you need to to reach your TDEE - 20% (or it can be minues 10%, 30%... whatever works for your…

i go during lunch or right after work! going during lunch is a pain in the butt but for my job at the moment it works

regular milk is always gonna be a winner with me. i love the fresh taste of it and it tastes the best in my cereals. fat free regular milk is not as tasty but i like it as well. second is almond milk. i've never tried soy but i don't think i'll try it any time soon.

woot! thats awesome! you are shredded. ahh im hoping in six months I can have definition like that with the lifting. I've tried all kinds of eating. no joke. through trail and error I have noticed that in the beginning I was able to eat all things in moderation and still lose a lot of weight. the more weight i lost, the…

that would explain it. good to know! ive always disliked coconut lol

thats odd... are you talking about the siggi icelandic skyr yogurt? I just started eating that brand and they are around 110 calories and 0g of saturated fat. way less sugar and way more protein that some of these other yogurts. i get em from target

:frown: I thought we were gonna talk about Nickelodeon's Doug

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. he's been my boyfriend since 1st grade :love: i think the OP is talking about girls who do absolutely nothing and take up space at the gym for no reason except to look cute. I've seen it plenty of times and its not cool. although i really wouldnt care enough to make an entire post about it.

I do agree there is a lot of bad science out there that causes people to do the wrong thing. but at some point, when you see that what you are doing is not working you have to stop and reassess. you don't just give up and continue down the road of obesity. It's not about being lazy. It's about being determined enough to…

There are environmental hurdles that make it hard but like I said before I think there needs to be accountability on the individual. I will never agree that a person isn't more then SOMEWHAT responsible for their bodies. I think THAT is ignorant. They need to be aware of the harm that they are in and they need to try and…

Are you really trying to say that overeating, junk food and a sedentary lifestyle arent the main reasons why so many people are obese? Yes, there are valid medical conditions that can cause someone to gain weight or have issues losing weight but can we get REAL here???? 99% of the time personal responsibility has to be…

Wasn't sure how I felt about this, but this makes the most sense and is very well said. let's be honest. people who are fat and are not wiling to change their habits or do anything about it are the ones that will use this as an excuse. they are the type of people who are always looking for an excuse so that they don't have…

heart rate monitor estimates are most likely more accurate.

lulz i should never have responded to this thread. OP and a few others on here are... well I'll keep the word to myself. smh.

I know everyone says this but I really don't think you're eating enough which I'm sure you can see from your bodymedia device. You're burning a crazy amount of calories you really need to fuel your body more. I think this has something to do with the fat you gained but that is just a guess.

I think I played around with this beforea s well. I'm already netting around 1900 calories every day and I am still plateauing. This is saying I should eat 2300 to lose 10 pounds in two months. I guess I could try it.

NO. wtfffff? she does not HAVE to deal with creeps. i for one would sure as HELL not. i dont have time for bs like that. she sould be direct with him or speak with a manager to get it to stop. who gives a crap if he does the same thing to other woman? hes obviously a being a major pain in the *kitten* and she shouldnt have…

Travel all over the world, open up my own health orientated nonprofit, and buy all the luxury items that are so unattanable to me right now (bimmers, benz and bentleys :love: ). And... I'm just being real here.... boob/arm/stomach job :laugh:

I gues you could say I quit! I got more into strength training and classes started so it kind of just faded away. Although when I went into it I never planned to do it 6 days a week like your supposed to. It was just supposed to be something to throw into my workout regiment maybe once a week. I really dont like doing the…

omg. baby g watches LOL. they were the hugest thing in elementary school

ALL. OF. THIS. LOL. boy meets world and the brady bunch (i was OBSESSED! i thought topanga was the prettiest girl I had ever seen) pokemon cards (I punched the boy next door in the face because he took one of my special edition cards LOL) spice girls fresh prince of bel aire and leonardo dicaprio (i bought scholastic books…

I think I kind of know how you feel. I lost almost 100 pounds in the past two years. I would say for the past year I have been feeling more and more unhappy with myself and my body. I was really big before but I remember being happy for the most part. I used to love taking pictures and all of that. Now I am frustrated with…

I have no scientific data to back this up but there might be something to this. I know a guy who has been a complete and total pothead for about 9 years now. morning noon and night with this guy. He used to be pretty average in terms of body weight but i saw him for the first time in a while last year and he was STICK…

i have a huge breakfast usually so a lot of the time i eat both eggs and bacon with a small bowl of fiber cereal. add to that a toasted english muffin with avocado and you have my normal breakfast! but if i had to choose i would probably go with eggs and turkey bacon. although ir eally do love my fiber one cereal the eggs…

I was able to lose around that the first few months. like everyone else said, it slowed down. It will slow down for you as well. You can aim for 10 pounds or more a month, no one can stop you. But just because you aim for it doesnt mean it is going to happen. Yes, everyone is different. And yes, maybe you can sustain that…
