Real simple fact Acg67 want to avoid and shove under the carpet. Foodfacts.com puts Shakeology at 97% food value...way above what he is telling people to use. Shakeology is CERTIFIED to be a low 24 on the glycemic index and is backed by the co-founder cardiologist that created the artificial heart (not a gym rat with ego…

You are wasting your time with Acg67. He poses as an expert as a trainer in a gym and makes a number of claims about what beachbody, foodfacts.com, and really everyone else that does not subscribe to his little gym gospel is vomiting all over good people that like and use beachbody products. I have offered to let him talk…

How about I fix you up with a REAL dietician on our team Acg67....someone that has already done all of this BS you are posing as knowing so much about? It is clear you just want to bash the product and have not even given it a chance or read through anything other than a label or two. Somehow I take the credibility of open…

Before you get too far down the road on what you think, check the ingredient and where they came from on the site. As usual, many are making unfactual and unqualified statements. I guess ACG67 works at food facts.com and knows everything about how they test their food....again, stay away from what everyone says is and is…

Use Foodfacts.com It allows you to access the food value of everything you want to make your diet as healthy as possible without taking anyone else's word for it. I have struggled for over 10 years for what works for me and I know it would be lots of raw fruits and vegetables, but I simply do not have the money or time to…

Last winter I wrapped up in a face mask and sweats and ran in the freezing cold, it can be done, but is not fun. The face mask gloves and skull cap made a huge difference in keeping the heat in and making sure I kept warm. I would make sure you still use socks and clothes in layers that will wick away the sweat though or…

Wichita Marathon and relaxing!

Oh, and your body is smarter than most of us give it credit for. When you run long distances or have very intense workout on a regular basis, your weight loss will slow and you will not lose even though your body is changing and you may be losing inches. The body will hold on to weight as a defense mechanism, anticipating…

I routinuely lose 3-5 lbs of water after a long run (10-14 miles), but put it back on within 12 hours by rehydrating. Keep in mind I drink before and throughout my run, than at least 20 oz of water after the run. I do not notice any change in inches. Since every cell in your body uses H2O, I do not think the changes in…

I have to say the best PB I have used is the PB2. It is powdered, but reduces the fat by 85% leaving most the protein intact. http://store.bellplantation.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-s/3.htm

Laying on the floor and putting your toes under the couch, then trying to lift up the couch (probably will not be able to) helps to stretch and strengthen the shins for me.

I get my mords wixed all the time, but I have lisdextia. ;-)

Try dieting while on a beer league when all the team goes to the bar after to drink. I always take a water bottle with me and tell everyone I feel dehydrated and keep filling up the water bottle to keep me from starting on beer. For cook-outs and eating out with friends, I drink water and eat something filling before I go…

My new motivation: came from surfing through the TV channels and seeing this MDA kid that died while inspiring the world with his strength on the Oprah show. His quote, that we should all "Play After The Storm" fit so well in my life. As many of us have storms of stress in our lives (for many daily), playing after the…

Few people are health wise, most are otherwise.

I had severe cramps (most of the body) after surgery and was told to take magnesium. Since I have taken it I do not get night cramps with running, but recently started getting calf cramps after the 13th mile. I think I will start with the potassium supplements now based on this blogging. I eat bananas, drink plenty of…

I just fixed this as of yesterday after reading a bunch of blogs and MFP posts. I considered what I read on shifting daily calorie level (dropping down, then increasing another day just so you maintain the same calories for the week) and also on fasting. I remember some stuff I read on fasting that showed how this can be a…

I just ordered the BodybuggSP from 24-hour fitness, but it does not do HR, just counts calories. I am not as concerned about my heart rate, as I know I do enough cardio and have no heart conditions. I also monitor my HR once a week at least and have seen it become better and better as weeks go by. I am most interested in…

Yeah, unless you use steroids or have a disorder, you can only go where your genetics take you. If your family line has larger (MESO) body types, than simply stick to higher reps and lower weight to offset your genetics somewhat. If you have a burley family line, you could gain a lot of size by doing power lifting with…

My best advice for getting a teen on track...duct tape his hands and feet while they are asleep and then they can't fight you as you lay them on the tracks. Oh, you didn't mean train tracks....my bad. I would do anything you can to get him around other kids that are being healthy, sports, maybe a gym membership where you…

I think you are doing incredible with all the stressors! To lose that much and still keep everyone else's lives in order. Heck, just raising 3 kids is a monumental task! Keep up the good work, it seems to be working for you. You are doing exactly what you need to be doing, so take pride in what you are accomplishing each…

If you didn't cry when ole yellar died, you must not be human. :tongue:

I've heard so many things, but have gone primarily by what a class I took teaches. They did a Bod Pod to determine exact % Body Fat, BMR, etc.. At 205 when I started it only suggested a BMR of a little over 1800. I found if I stayed at that I lost weight. Amazingly enough, if I dropped too much below that to say 14-1500, I…

Welcome! I am from Wichita, Kansas and just started on the site last month and love it. I have found so many good tips and workouts from other MFP members, this site rocks! Good luck on reaching your goals!

Oh, another great alternative is Almond Butter (sold by PB in most stores), it has half the calories of PB.

PB, especially reduced fat PB is high in protein, so it CAN be a good addition to your diet in moderation. I use it to up my calories when I know I am a little low for the day. It is important not to drop too low below you target for calories or you will crash and end up carb loading to satisfy your bodies need for energy.…

Okay, I did Zumba for the first time this week because I heard how much you burn. It was difficult as the class had 40 women and me, but the class was fun and the best burn I have had in an hour except maybe with P90X and it was certainly more fun than P90X. I just have to look past being the only guy in the class, I am…

I am not sure why, but I have better weight loss running outside than the treadmill with the same distance. I also enjoy running outside much better. I can not wait until we get out of freezing temperatures again.

For the personality part, How they carry themselves and act towards others around them. For the attraction part, well, situational; I like balance of all the elements, body, smile, teeth, hair, dress and makeup use. An awesome body with bad teeth or a great smile but one that doesn't take care of themselves all tend to…

1. Go to any local supermarket that has a sit down deli area, take a table cloth with you. 2. Tell your date each of you must run through the store buying what each of you consider to be the best meal at said price. 3. Each of you run through the store and meet back at the specified time, purchase the food (be sure to buy…
