Yesterday. I went to an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet for lunch at noon. Completely screwed up my day, as well as my macros. I overloaded on creamy sauces, and carbs. Got very little in the way of lean protein. I was full until after 7:30 pm. I forced myself to eat some lean meat for extra protein for dinner before the…

Aww, thank you!

I have several friends who are into it. A couple, because of gluten intolerance, but a couple of them are athletes, and they swear by it.

Your armor is, in fact, quite hot. I was referring, however, to the shots of cleavage presented next to posts about superficiality. No judgement, mind you, just laughing, lot's of laughing. Edited for clarity.

Laughing at all the posts by women with their hotness on display.

So, yes, I'm about to date myself. When I was in a freshman in college in 1993, my friend dragged me to an all night anime session at the anime club, in the attic of one of the dormitories. I was instantly hooked. We watched Record of Lodoss Wars, Ranma 1/2, Vampire Hunter D, Bubblegum Crisis, Project A-Ko, Laputa: Island…

Good for you! I try to get in a 6.2 mile walk every day, and weight lifting at the gym 3 times per week. I'm mostly trying to lean out my body and tone and strengthen my muscles, so I can eventually look like my profile picture! The abs are going to be the toughest part for me! :laugh:

I'm not so much an expert there, but I would say that at some point, you'll want to be doing maintenance, so instead of increasing weight, you'll likely be at a place where you're happy with the shape and structure of your body. Play with it a little bit. There are plenty of resources on MFP and the rest of the internet…

Try increasing the number of repetitions by 5 per set, until they become too easy. Then increase the weight, and reduce the number of reps per set back to the original number. Pay attention to how your body feels after you increase the weight. You don't want to injure yourself by trying to do too much, too soon.

I don't know about others, but I am a video game player, and a computer programmer. I think in terms of completing tasks, tracking data, meeting goals, and competing against myself. MFP allows me to apply these traits to my weight loss and strength building goals. I look at my food log, and think, how can I get the best…

The first rule of chat sites: You do not talk about chat sites. The second rule of chat sites: You do not. talk. about chat sites. The third rule of chat sites: If someone types "stop", goes quiet, yaps out, the chat is over! The fourth rule: Only two people to a chat. The fifth rule: Only one chat at a time, fellas. The…

Seriously, take a look at my food diary. Whole grains, full of fiber. Proteins. Fruits and Veggies, full of fiber. Proteins. Healthy fats. Oh yeah, proteins and fiber. I wonder if I've made my point? Lots of water! When water is added to fiber, the fiber swells, thus filling you up! Quit eating cereals. There is almost NO…

The boy is old enough to shop for his own groceries, bake his own cake, and get his own place to do it all in. Your point is invalid. Seriously people, this lady has every right to not do something she doesn't want to do. She doesn't need justification, and no one has the right to judge her for her reasons. The point of…

This. There is nothing stopping him from making the cake. I think the OP was well within her rights to not make it.

Actually, I was. I've also been celibate for four years now, also by choice.

You haven't been on the internet long enough.

So, when I was 18, I was in a play at the local civic theater in my home town. It was the final rehearsal night, and everyone wanted to go get drinks. They snuck me in to a respectable bar, and I didn't get carded, so it was all very good. My best friend sees that I can't take my eyes off of the bartender, and dares me to…

This was used on me once. It worked.

Nicely done! I'm astounded that you have lost 80 lbs so many times! Has your doctor checked your heart, because I would think that kind of up and down on the scale could be severely damaging?

I have been celibate for over 4 years, by choice. I'm ready to start moving in the direction of an intimate relationship. However, in the past 4 years, I went from 195 to 225. I'd like to get down to 185 with nice muscle tone, and a svelte, masculine build. I want to be attractive for my potential mate, and I want to FEEL…

Angry troll! That's awesome! I can't wait to sport an angry troll, instead of a lazy ogre.

Nice Abs! Good job!

You look as cute as a button! Proud for you!

I just shared your video on my facebook news feed. You're such an inspiration! I wake up in the morning with my son and my health as my motivation. Thank you!

1) Italian, whether it's marinara, alfredo, or garlic butter sauce. Doesn't matter. If it has noodles, I'm looking for seconds. 2) Pizza, a variant of Italian, but deserving of its own place in hell. 3) My favorite restaurant has the best french fries and ranch dressing. They load the plate with them, and I'll go through 6…

pics or it didn't happen. :wink:

I teared up. Way to go!

Awesome Mom is Awesome!!!!

Go ahead! Oh, yeah, I want that green shirt!

Again, thank you. I'm am so excited for my future! I have so many plans, things I've been putting off, because I was too afraid to actually go and DO them. Now, I think to myself, why don't I just go do it? Nothing is stopping me. Nothing can hold me back!
