You will not get big and muscular. A lot of women that are on steriods are big and bulky. Women have estrogen as well as testosterone. The testosterone is so low in women you will not get big and bulky. As long as you dont take steriods you will not look manly. Look up fitness model Jamie Eason. She is a perfect example of…

Good for you for wanting to eat clean. As for finding items that can be cheap but can go a long way I would reccomend canned tuna, some canned veggies and potatoes. Don't but canned spinich it is nasty, fresh tastes a lot better.If you can rinse the canned veggies and potatoes in water it can remove about 40% of the…

I think mfp over estimates the amount of calories burned. I noticed that you did't input your weight just age and m/f. that could be a difference. I think your hrm is way over on the amount of calories burned. I weight 300lbs and burn off about 225 calories in 20 min walking at 3.0 at a 6% incline. My guess you might be…

It is a little hard on your joints but I question that sometimes because. there are people in there 70's and 80's that still run and have no problems. My aunt is 80 and has run her whole life and has no atheritis. I also had that running can strenghten your muscles tendons and ligaments and prevent damage to your joints. I…

Judging by your pic you look normal to me. I think it has to be inaccurate. To my knowledge most of them are in the ballpark as far as accuracy. The one that is the most accurate is the one you get dipped in the water and they calculate the amount of water that is displaced. It probably reads that way because you my not…

Great job on beating cancer!!! Second you had a great transformation you are a true inspiration to everyone. That is the way to lose weight the natural way it is better in the long term!

Wow you look great keep up the good work !!!

Yep your dehaydrated. I have a small bladder too. Don't drink coffee before or after a workout it can dehydrate you. Just at least sip on the water while working out. You don't want to pass out from beaing dehydrated or worst case senario have cardic arrest.

A good pre and post workout food would be a reduced fat choclate milk, but since it has to be cold I would stick to fruit like apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries or even nuts. You cold have a large apple for around 100 calories and a 1/4 cup of peanuts for around 150 calories and that would give you 350 calories.

Great job! I decided to bump my cardio today and burned 1800 cal. That is the key diet then cardio. keep up the great work you will be there in no time.

Just stared last friday. I did great the first day, I am going to do the second day today and third day this thrusday. Hopefully I can run the 5 k in Aug..

Women should be between 20 to 25% Men 15 to 20%. That 95 lbs, is probably if you don't have any fat on you. 120 is probably as low as you should go.

I would say don't worry about the number of weight lost. I know its tough but Muscle weighs a lot more than fat and takes up less space than fat. If you lost 11% body fat you may have lost about 12 to 16 lbs. of fat.

I start day two tommorow. I didn't have a hard time yesterday on the treadmill till I got around 18 min. When is your race? Mine is in August.

Ice it. Follow the term RICE. Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate. After an injury you always want to ice it to keep the inflamation down.

Thank you everyone for your help. I will check out c25k:happy:

Yes you can get an allergy to peanuts later in life. That also goes for shell fish. My mother became allergic to shell fish at the age of 60.

I would eat clean today. and weigh yourself tommorow. The extra food might not be through your system yet.

Maybe you might have gotten sick from something else. Hopefully thats what it was. Worse case senario you might be allergic to peanuts. Those kisses are made in a factory that has peanuts. I have heard people cant even be around the dust from peanuts.

I bet you never had such white whites!!! :laugh:

It help with your healthy cholestrol. It also helps with inflamation in the body. I think but not sure it has omega three fatty acids in it also. I heard it helps with preventing hunger pangs.

Dear Daysea35, We have all been in your place before. Take it from experience, YOU NEED TO TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME!!! I can't stress that enough. Don't worry about the past you can't control something that has already happened. Learn from all the positive and negitive things that you and as well as others have done and…

You will like MFP. There are a lot of people on here willing to help each other. You can add me if you want.

I think a shot is around 60 to 80 calories. Mix that with diet not a bad choice. I believe miller light is about 90 calories and there is one beer that has 64 calories I think it is miller 64.

Good luck on reaching your goals. You can add me as a friend. I don't live in Worcester Mass, but we can support each other to reach our goals. There are a lot of people on here willing to help you out.

Don't let him sabatoge your goals. He is an enabler He should respect what you are doing in trying to get healthy. We should not live to eat. My wife does the same thing by bringing sweets in the house and she knows I don't want them in here because I will eat them. There is nothing wrong with having a slice of pizza and…

Wow you did a great job!!! What was your secret? Any tips can help everyoone on the websight.

Try one serving of chocolate milk it is a great recovery drink. It has protien, carbs and calcium.

I don't know how bad your ankle is but I would wait till your next race. When I used to run when I was younger I ran through the pain of sprains but later the injury lasted longer than it should. Take the rest and wait till the next race. If you wait till tommorow and see how your ankle feels maybe you can still walk the…

You need protien to go and repair your body from skin,muscles and tendons. Protien will make you feel satisfied for a longer period of time because it takes a longer time to burn off protien than carbs. If you dont like beef try to consume lean meats such as fish such as tuna which is easy to get, chicken , turky, eggs,…
