2 hours of light / moderate cardio is nowhere near too much exercise for anyone who is adequately conditioned from doing regular cardio. You're fine. If you hadn't built up to it, and you just went and tried to knock out a two hour run or a two hour swim, you might injure yourself. 2 hours of HIIT a day is basically…

Start with the following cuisines: Mexican, Thai, Indian (minus the nann). You'll be pretty set.

This is pretty misinformed. Standard medical training is pretty lacking when it come to nutrition. Also, there is NOT less sugar in fruit than a doughnut. It's can be roughly the same.

Sounds like you're flailing because of a lack of motivation. You can't just coast on a wishy washy desire to get something done and think it's going to magically happen. Find some inspiration / motivation. Pictures of strong beautiful women do it for me. So does kicking *kitten* in a sparing session, or looking really hot…

WHAT? Yesterday was free Slurpee day?

I put tons if different veggies in most of my salads. If I don't feel like looking 1/8 cup of sprouts, 1/6 cucumber, 4 green beans, etc., which can be pretty tedious, I just add 50-100 calories and move on with my life. It's fine as long as you've been measuring and logging for long enough to estimate accurately, and…

I've been a runner since jr. high, and I have NEVER stretched or warmed up before a run-- treadmill or outdoor. It's a matter of preference. If you walked to get to wherever you're running, there, you warmed up. As for stretching, it's actually better to do it after your run, and there's no benefit to doing before. Some…

I'm going to try that 20 minute rule. That sounds really thoughtful and practical. Thanks. I was about to grab something to munch on while I start my reading assignment. My rationale was that I worked out hard this morning, and I had a small lunch, so really it's just the rest of my lunch, but I don't think I'm even…

Goals are meant to be assessed and changed as you progress. I hope I don't have the same goals at 30 that I had at 20, or I will have wasted a decade.

l like that approach. Similar to going 5 lbs under goal to eventually maintain at goal. So I should aim for 120 if I want to maintain at 125, not reach 125 then immediately start eating like a hungry hippo and end up back at 130 in a month.

I have cut my mom out of my life for periods of time. You are not obligated to be anyone's punching bag. As for tuning it out. I've found that nearly impossible, because someone that close to you really knows how to get to you. If you can't shut her out altogether, minimize contact, brace yourself for the worst, and have a…

Beer. Bacon. Fried food. Fast food. Pizza. Burgers. Chips. Pasta.

Soffee tops and shorts: 5-10 bucks if you're willing to do some digging on amazon or buy clearance at big 5. Target sports bras: 16 bucks and last forever.

Wow. You just lost a lot of weight really quickly. Amazing work. You might want to reassess your goal and the time you want to take to get there. Losing weight is more difficult and slower when you are already at a healthy or low/healthy weight. Try switching up your exercise routine to incorporate more high intensity…

Two questions for you: 1) Why do you have to eat (or in this case) drink the same things? 2) Why do you have to control what he eats? His needs are going to be different from yours anyways.

If you "have to" fry the mushrooms, and you won't do a chemical spray, then you're left using an actual fat, and you are asking an impossible question. Use the coconut oil, or any other oil, or even butter. The fat and calorie content is going to be the same, it comes down to personal preference on taste and other…

This. I'm pretty mellow, but if I saw something like this I'd safely come to the conclusion that if this dude isn't cheating on me now, he will be some time down the line... Some things are in "good fun," and some workplaces are kind of high in the mutual sexual harassment, because, well, work can be boring as heck and…

And the cows are milked by magic elves! Their little magic hands balance the ions in the milk. So you absorb the protein better, and it gives you magic powers.

I don't get the swimming claim either. It's hard for me to get winded running or jumping rope, but I get winded swimming almost immediately. So what's that about? Also, have you SEEN what swimmers look like?!? Hello Summer Olympics, can I lick your man v?

What is being able to run 10 miles anytime if NOT a proper aerobic base?

Strip clubs are not as awkward as you might imagine. The girls are usually pretty nice... as long as you are tipping them... just make sure you are always tipping them. The dancing itself is pretty hot and entertaining... some of those girls are straight up acrobats, and you can appreciate that even if you don't get the…

I guess I was making the assumption that this person could already run distance. I disagree about running distance to get speed though. I've been a distance runner for over a decade (i.e. I'll go pop out a 10 mile leisure run for funsies even though I only run like once a week these days), and the only way I have ever…

The best way to increase your running speed is to run faster. I wouldn't increase it numerically. Some days, you will naturally be faster, and that number bump won't be representative of what you can really do. Do it by perceived exertion. Run at a pace that is uncomfortable. I mean, a pace where you feel like you're…

You'd be surprised the difference a hat makes.

Entire full sized box of sees chocolates. Eaten on the 10 minute drive home.

Playing hookie and going to the beach!

You don't actually need to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Drink when you are thirsty. If your pee is light, and you have no symptoms of dehydration, you are getting enough water.

So that makes any ****headed thing anyone says to or about me okay? Hmmmm... I think I get the group mentality here. Lets everyone rally around popular safe opinions and just tear apart those who don't agree or have the balls to take unpopular opinions. Then lets all pat ourselves and eachother on the back for all being so…

Maybe you have a defective (or possessed ) rope. Try different weights, styles of rope, or lengths.

Oh, wow, and I'm being accused of "body shaming"... low, low blow.
