I'm planning a 50 mile ride today. I'm also planning eating most of what I burn back, but I'm guessing I won't eat enough to make up for the whole deficit. I'll let you know what the scale looks like tomorrow.

I was able to do them after starting with negative push-ups, just the eccentric part of the motion. So starting in a plank, lower yourself slowly to the floor in a reverse pushup. Do this up to 10 times a day for a couple of weeks and you'll start to be able to push back up and do an actual push-up. Then you can work on…

I do this when the gym isn't too crowded but I still take the same amount of time for rest between sets of the same exercise.

Profile says he's a 27 year old dude. Probably not the change of life...

This owl, I mean.

Owl trumps all.

No. I go first thing in the morning. I put on my makeup after I shower.

^^ This Around the same time that opioid painkiller prescriptions began to rise, the nursing community began to promote pain as the "5th vital sign" (others are pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation of blood) and urge the assessment of it as a part of every interaction with a patient, which is now…

Medications that are approved by the FDA must have two studies showing that they are at least as effective as current treatment. The studies are published in peer-reviewed journals and are subject to scrutiny by journal editors and expert reviewers. There *are* problems inherent in drug company funded studies (mostly in…

5'7" and 120 is on the very low end of normal BMI. You should not be trying to lose weight. If you want your body to look leaner, take up weight lifting and eat at maintenance.

My new favorite: 1/2 c fat free plain yogurt scoop of chocolate protein powder 1 packet of effervescent drink mix (like EmergenC or Trader Joe's Effervescent Orange) Mix it up and wait a few minutes. It tastes like chocolate-orange mousse (or whatever your drink mix flavor was). Great dessert with tons of protein, few…

This!

Farting. There's this one woman who always comes late to kickboxing, squeezes herself in between the other participants, even when there are open spaces elsewhere, and then does a gas-powered workout.

Hi everyone, I'm new too, and somewhat reserved. Started SL two weeks and am enjoying it so far. I'm hoping to lose a few more pounds and work on recomp. It's nice to know there are women who lift heavy. At my gym it's mostly guys and, while I'm not exactly intimidated, I mostly try to do what I came to do and otherwise…

Two problems here: 1) Dopamine affects mental health just as serotonin does. Dopamine agonists (direct and indirect) can cause mania and psychosis and are used to treat ADHD. They can also be drugs of abuse (eg. cocaine, methamphetamine). Dopamine antagonists are used to treat schizophrenia and as tranquilizers. Dopamine…

@naught to sixty: recomposition -- lose fat, gain muscle without changing weight much. Toning, in other words.

I'm 5'7", generally weigh between 120 and 140, though rarely at the extreme ends, currently 129, want to be 125 when I'm done and then start to work on body recomp. I might be able to gain some then, depending on how it works out. As far as 125 being too thin, I have a pretty small frame, so it works, I think. If you tend…

I *am* a doctor, and it's true that we learn very little about nutrition in medical school. Everyone who has said that consulting a registered dietician would be a good move is absolutely right on. The only thing I'm concerned about is that you say that the medication you have been started on lowers your metabolism. Since…

Livin' in da 'Burgh.

They are pretty accurate for me, verified with my BodyMedia.
