I always showered at night and shaved in the morning, so I could get from bed to formation in seven minutes.

Muscle is more dense than fat. Between building muscle and the water that is retained by muscles that are repairing, your weight may plateau while still losing fat. I think I heard that a pound of muscle is about half the size of a pound of fat, so your measurements should be going down while your weight stays the same.…

I have been doing intermittent fasting for six weeks now. I love it. I am fasting from just after dinner time on Monday until dinner time on Wednesday. That is roughly 48 hours depending on when I eat those evenings. In between I only drink water and those 10 calorie crystal light packs. I am down 16 pounds so far out of…

I would doubt that Apples or Peaches fall into this category due to the amount of natural sugars, but it could be possible for the vegetables. I've just been trying to eat more vegetables because it is something else taking up space in my stomach.

The one I notice the biggest difference with is ice cream. Since most ice creams are as much as 50% air, that is a lot of compression that can be done when measuring that 1/2 cup.

The issue with eating 400 calories of pizza vs 400 calories of salad amount of food you get. 400 calories is 400 calories, regardless of the source. You can get 400 calories from just butter or sugar if you like, but you'll be a lot hungrier. This only is looking at weight loss/gain, it does not take into affect other…

Horse meat and Artichokes. I had it in Italy, nothing has compared since.

There are a few threads on this that Search will reveal. You'll find a lot of posts saying pepper or fruit.

What motion, "Reach way back and exert yourself?"

My thought exactly.

Most beautiful voice in country music by far. Martina McBride is also a favorite.

I thought that was only done by soldiers that have been eating MREs.

Scrunch, and you keep going until the paper comes out clean.

I cannot see how 500 calories is enough for anyone. I don't think low carb, high carb, Atkins, or any of the other diets make any real difference as long as your caloric intake is lower than your caloric expenditure by a modest amount each day. If you prefer to eat low carb while tracking your calories, go for it. I would…

A friend called it a who-ha

White potatoes are better for baking and other recipes that you want thicker skins. Red potatoes are better for mashing and recipes where you want thinner skins. I say eat both, just as long as you're within your macros.

How I Met Your Mother had a Manatee/Mermaid episode. Watch that and you'll understand. Eventually guys start to see women in a different light and then they want more than friendship.

Creep - Radio Head I Was Alone - GreenDay Seriously though, White and Nerdy - Weird Al

If he likes science/chemistry, you can get him interested by having him watch Good Eats. It's like Mr. Wizard (or Bill Nye for you younger people) for food. Alternatively just hold out on him unless he makes at least one attempt a week. By attempt, I mean a full meal, not grilling some meat, throwing a bun on it and…

Same here, I eat my chips and enjoy them, but I do so with a lot of salsa. The hotter the better, spicy food is an appetite suppressant.

Tortilla chips and homemade salsa. Just like you pack limited almonds, I pack limited chips. Salsa on the other hand, I go all out.

The comics are vastly superior to the show. That being said, the show is vastly superior to most shows that are on TV.

QFT That means Quoted For Truth :smile:

My favorite Pandora station right now is based on Iced Earth. A lot of the bands that come up I never even heard of, but enjoy. I get: Iron Maiden Steel Attack Testament Metallica Dream Theater Bruce ****enson solo stuff Blind Guardian DragonForce Gamma Ray Demons & Wizards

If it's a public restroom and not work I yell "Shut up, I'm trying to S***!"

I personally have an Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G on Sprint. I love my phone, but I also have friends with an iPhone. If you are computer savvy, definitely go with an Android phone. If you want total control over your device, go with an Android phone. I would recommend an Android phone to my dad, he likes tinkering with…

I was talking to a friend of mine and said something similar. Lifting weights is like grinding skills in a game. You work for hours to get the level of skill increased in the game. You lift weights for hours to get the amount of weight you can lift increased in real life. The only appreciable difference I've noticed is…

You should be careful when using my name, lest you draw my attention.

I don't post pics from a privacy standpoint, no one needs to know who I really am but me.

No one has friends to take pictures for them? That would solve the focus/appearance in the pictures. I can understand the before pics not being something you want a friend to take, but what about a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse?
