I also sit at a desk all day long. Here's what I do so I don't feel like such a blob all day. I have a private bathroom so every time I go to the bathroom, I do at least 15 to 20 squats or lunges and wall pushups. I don't like to get "caught" doing them for some reason so the bathroom is the perfect place. I probably get…

Same here. But I have noticed I'm having more slim feeling days than not so slim feeling days, so I just keep at it cause the slim feeling days are awesome. I have a couple shirts that some days I can wear and feel good in and other days, it just feels like the shirt is hanging on my fat rolls, so I can't wear it. Hang in…

I don't think the speaker even needed a medical degree, sounds like he's part Jesus, what with all the healing, miracles and strength stuff going on. Dude, he's totally trying to passively sell his shiz to you and all your co-workers that apparently soaked up the BS he was spreading, can't you see that. Even your rendition…

I lived in Guam too. Always like to meet people who lived there too. Loved Guam! Here's a thought. My boyfriend moved to Japan for 3 months to build cabins. He lost about 20 to 25 lbs very very quickly when he first moved there. (He gained most of it back by the time he got back to Utah). Mostly because the construction…

This is really simple and sooooo delicious. Shrimp, edamame and bruschetta.

I read the title as "Feeling Guilty for a small chest" was thinking this would be an interesting thread, oh well. Either way, just move on and quit calling it cheating, makes you feel bad just by the connotation of the word. So you ate more than your cal intake should have been, who doesn't do that now and again?

You look awesome! I love how you have a drink in your hand in each picture, celebrate!

Your response never fails to make me laugh!

Have you tried a cortisone shot? I know you weren't asking for help with PF necessarily, but I've had it too. When I had PF in both feet, a cortisone shot took care of it. Now I just wear my orthodics and I haven't had a flare up again in 20 years. I know a lot of people don't like cortisone shots, but it sure took care of…

You are so welcome. There really is a lot of misinformation 'out there" and some of it by people who just don't or didn't know better, but mean well. It's hard to weed through the crap to decipher the real info. However, if a product is ever tied to your "research" just click the x and walk away :smile: You will also…

I drink about 100 oz a day, but I really like water.

Holy crap that was fun, but I sort of feel like I just banged my head against the wall 100 times. So here's what I learned (some of this will be based on facts and some on opinions, you pick and choose as you deem fit, but I will point out the facts just in case it is not clear which is which): Fasting for cleanse or detox…

I'm taking my daughter out for lunch before she leaves for her out of town swim meet and she wants Jimmy John's YES!!!!!! so I will be working a delicious sandwich into my day today.

Ditto

Lucky! I would love fresh eggs everyday.

Just when I thought it was safe to quit reading and go back to work, you do this to me? Now I'm going to have to follow up all day long. These threads are my social life.

Hate to admit it, but I live for these threads to go off track like this. Totally makes my day. In fact I scour the forums for these threads only

The more I think about it, I'm pretty sure my "cardio" is moderate enough that it's not really a factor, especially the dog walking and classes and treadmill. Swimming and cycle are the only one's I actually feel like I might explode and die sometimes and actually push myself. I am going to concentrate on figuring out how…

That is a fair question and not sure I can come up with something totally logical, but here goes. I like the incline and the fast pace, I can walk "hard" still, if that makes sense, but if I let go, I have to put a lot more effort into it and I don't want to put more effort into it, don't really have a reason except I am…

Wait, my mom ate carbs, and now my mom has Alzheimer's. He may be on to something. Crap, wish I would have known sooner, I would definitely stopped her from eating carbs. :noway:

First of all, I think you are completely missing the point. It was a real life experiment, that the kids could get behind and actually learn something from. The point isn't to just eat McDonald's and lose weight. I think the whole point was to get the kids to think beyond the books and preconceived idea's about food and…

Well since it's just curiosity and not judging, I'm one of those hanger oner's and here's why I do it - I usually walk between a 10% and 15% incline and between 3.5 to 3.7, depending on how I feel that day, I watch TV while I'm walking and yes, I'm holding on for dear life or I will fall off because I don't want to put the…

My ultimate goal is to have a strong body so I can be mobile under my own power until the day I die. Genetics are not necessarily on my side. I would like to lose more weight as well, about 25 more lbs., but I don't really have a set number because if I feel good, look good and feel strong at 175, and my BF is at a decent…

One of my biggest motivators is how poorly my parents aged. :frown: I want be strong, healthy and active, for my child and for me, until the day I die and I hope that's a long time from now.

Thank you, I can feel it today, that's for sure. I think I did the Pendlay row correctly. The website I was watching the video's on is the Stronglifts 5x5 with Mendhi and he calls them Barbell Rows so that 's what I called them, but I'll watch the stickies too and make sure I've got the right exercises. I was also using…

I just finished my first workout of the 5X5. Squat 45, Bench Press 45 and Barbell Row 75. Those are probably sad numbers, but it is what it is. I started to squat 75, but there was no way I was going to do all of them so I dropped it down. Have to say I loved it. And as "simple" as the concept is, it was a lot tougher than…

It's funny how uncomplicated it really is and how much misinformation is out there. When I read what you are saying it just makes common sense and I think duh, why haven't I ever figured this out? I think I have a lot of common sense, but I have fallen victim to some of the hype and misinformation. In fact, someone I…

I don't have a smartphone as of now, maybe one day I'll get current with electronics as well. Thank you again. You have totally clarified a lot for me and I'm moving from nervous to excited to get started. I will review the lifts again before I get started and I'm sure the trainer that is going to walk me through the moves…

You guys are so awesome. Got the sticky notes now, that totally makes sense and I should have figured that out but didn't click. I have read those and will read again because there is a lot to them and don't always have time in one sitting. I think because I'm sort of nervous (I don't really know why) about starting this,…

4 damn lbs. Not surprised though, went completely overboard on bread, spinach dip, peanut brittle, carmels and pizza. Thought I could control most of the intake but once I started, I just said, oh the hell with it and ate like a fiend for about a week. Now back to portion control and cognitive eating. Plan to be down the 4…
