I make this every Thanksgiving/holiday we have turkey. No joke. It's amazing. We call it: TurBacon

You need to let your feet breathe while running - particularly long races. Don't wear socks - that's why there's mesh on your sneakers!

You don't need to go low carb or eat meat to lose weight. Check out Sarauk2sf's story here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/903628-one-year-of-barbells-and-ice-cream-my-story-so-far-pics She's AMAZING and a vegetarian. She's also very friendly and accepts friend requests with a message. She's a huge source of…

I teared up reading your story. You are completely amazing and so lucky to have such a wonderful husband! Congratulations to you both! :)

check out this youtube video. it's by the creator stronglifts (mehdi). he explains how you should warm up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro3Mh9o7JPU&noredirect=1 also check out mark ripptoe videos for form and his book starting strength. it really helped me figure out what is proper form.

MityMax96 is right. Get over there and ask for the equipment. Sometimes it's not you. I'm doing stronglifts right now and I sit and text between sets. I also get over there and ask people for their equipment when they clearly aren't using it and haven't racked their weights. Don't let them make you feel like you don't…

Awesome! Thanks! BUMP!!!

Happy Birthday Sara!

Awesome! Thanks! Where does the 20-30g of fiber come from?

I'm interested!

If you want a lifestyle change, please don't eat 1200 calories/day. Insanity actually has a pretty solid nutrition guide. Follow that! Or look here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/937712-in-place-of-a-road-map-ver-3-0

Righto! Start with the walls! Knee push ups don't mimic a real push-up enough to be an effective training technique. Don't bother with them. Start with a wall then slowly move lower (i.e. Wall, hip height, knee height, floor). If you do it consistently, you'll be amazed at how quickly you build strength. Also, check out…

Because MFP has funny calculations. Ignore them. MFP almost always underestimates a person's TDEE.

I quit! I quit after the first month. I hurt my knees from all the jumping. It was also mentally and physically exhausting. 6 days/week?!?! I think the program is just a recipe for over training. All the new research says that 3-4 days/week of exercise is plenty. 3-4 days allows for recovery and any more doesn't really…

Awesome! Good luck! :)

Hello there! First, you're definitely not sedentary. Sedentary is for people who work desk jobs, and barely walk/exercise... ever. Most people aren't sedentary. MFP has a real tendency to underestimate how many calories you should eat for healthy weight loss. Here is an awesome explanation why you shouldn't undereat.…

I'm in a similar situation. Scale hasn't changed much - I can weigh as much as 4lbs below my start and 3 lbs above my start (but I usually weigh pretty close to my start weight). I'm lifting and shrinking. I asked a similar question a while back and was told it could be a combo of newbie gains, glycogen, and water weight…

Yup. Just eat the 1874 every day even when you workout and even when you don't. No more adjustment. Your exercise calories are already built into your daily calorie limits - that's why you picked the "I exercise 6-7 days/week option". Just as a warning. If you've been eating at 1200 cal for a while now, your body might…

Are you trying to lose weight? What did you put in as your settings? Where did you do these calculations? I quickly put them in to fat2fitradio.com and got similar numbers. Based on that: If you're trying to lose weight - you'd take your 6-7days/week number and shave off 20%. So you'd be eating 1874 cal/day. Every day -…

Woo hoo! Eric Helms is awesome! This podcast rocks! :)

this is attractive?? http://www.herdaily.com/health/11082/when-is-skinny-unhealthy.html I agree. It's a nonsensical term. It's really just people with low muscle mass and a higher body fat percentage than would be expected at that weight. But that's a big mouthful.

an extreme example of skinny fat. she's skinny but you can see how unattractively flabby she is. not pretty. http://fivehourfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/skinny-fat-female-model.jpg

Maybe she's trying to sabotage you. Maybe she's being insecure because she sees you doing it healthier. Maybe she's lying, maybe she's not. We'll never know. Anything we say is speculation. Just know, that you're doing great. You can only measure your weight loss success by your OWN accomplishments - not through…

oh noes!! i have to stop lifting immediately!! i had no idea how dangerous it was!

loose skin occurs mostly when you've lost weight but that weight loss is from a combination of lost muscle & fat. so the loose skin is most fat that you didn't lose when you lost weight (if that makes sense!) think of it more as - I want to lose fat and stop caring so much about the scale. Lose fat through a moderate…
