As a side note, one of the local radio stations used to have a weekly spot for former Alli users to call in and tell their horror stories. You can imagine the repetitive theme.... p.s. Don't sneeze unless you packed some extra drawers.

I just checked out your profile and the progress you've made is amazing. I have no idea what your overall medical background is nor would I ever qualified to give advice but it looks like you've had to fight your way back through the worst of it already. Not sure what cutting you open and modifying your body would really…

yes, worst case scenario is it will take you like 35 minutes to walk the distance. Lots of people sign up and do just that.

I went cold turkey as well after researching how bad nicotine itself is for you. Hi heart disease and strokes. The first week sucked but all good now. I didn't really gain but I followed the advice of drinking juice throughout the day. The thing that gets you is that smoking keeps your blood sugar levels raised...which in…

Funniest *kitten* I've read all day. You win.

Decent compared to who though? A seasoned ultra marathoner? A middle aged lightly active adult? A weekend trail warrior? Answers could vary from your time is complete crap to really awesome. Was it good compared to what you've done before?

Ignoring previous posters so you'll have to excuse me if you already have your answer: So your body does not really have an active way to store protein. It uses what it can at the time to build and repair but does not store excess. If you are consuming excess then it is just going to either convert it back over to glucose…

+ another vote for trails. Go find some, pack up a water bottle and go. You will be amazed of the energy expenditure of trail running and it will make you such a stronger runner on the roads as well. I wasn't a fan of hills during road races but after a season on the trails I fly up them and my body barely notices what…

1. This ain't /fit or /b. Talking like it is completely negates anything meaningful you have to say and makes you sound like a 12 year old. 2. Your body isn't impressive enough to have that attitude. I'm not saying that you don't have valid points. Just your attitude and way of delivering them is convincing people that…

...It's true....I'm kinda a dick.....

You should check out some of Layne Norton's cutting articles. He does a great job of outlining macros for a cut to keep everything you built as well as give food examples to meet those.

Congratulations. You were able to post a cute picture and a block of text that once again does not have any relevance to content of my post. I am only responding at this point as you seem to be one of those people who squirms if they can't have the last word...and I've got some down time today. Cheers

Actually, what you said is this: "Basically what I got from this is that preservatives somehow inhibit muscle gainz. I never implied preservatives would inhibit "gainz" or progress. Look, I appreciate that you are now seemingly trying to have a rational conversation about the content in my post but we both know it is just…

Your reading comprehension and sarcastic ability are both D students.

Doesn't invalidate anything. Just said it was my personal experience, if yours is different than so be it. It's all subjective on a personal level, doesn't mean ones view is right while the others is wrong when you are talking about personal observations.

Trying to think of the most non-offensive way to put this so pre-apologies if I offend, truly not meaning to do so. From my time on MFP I have personally noticed: Those who solely preach just the moderation aspect, like the "I eat fast food 3 times a week but under my caloric yada yada..." seem to be in reasonably ok…

A 5k will be waaay too easy and not challenging enough for you with the amount of time you have. You should ditch it and sign up for the marathon instead.

I believe you are looking for the motivation and support forum.

May be time to replace the batteries in your scale.

Let's not ignore the fact that any true reputable running store will have an amazing exchange policy. My local one has a 30 day exchange window regardless of the miles you put on the shoes. If they make a recommendation and it isnt working out for you then you can just pop in and say so and walk out with a new shiny pair…

I know it is probably little consolation but look at it this way: You body is so efficient that it needs less intake to perform it's daily tasks than others need. From an evolutionary standpoint, your body = superior.

Personally I think that the pressure for males has been set so high for so long that we really stopped seriously giving a fudge about it a loooong time ago unless you are still relatively young and haven't become completely cynical about it just yet. For guys, the media pushes you to be 6'4 (until recently) completely…

It doesn't work. It adds resistance to breathing but it doesn't thin out the air like it would at high altitudes. Just a marketing gimmick.

She looks like she already has that concept down much better than you do my friend. Just saying....

It is illegal to sell it as a marketed dietary supplement because idiots abused it thinking more is always better. It does work, tons of studies to back it up and still readily available in most every drug store across the nation, just got to know what to ask for because they keep it behind the counter. Shouldn't be used…

Thanks, I will definitely send him a message to try to hook up with the group.

This doesn't sound normal at all. If I were you then I would take a trip back to a health care professional.

If there is a fat PT that is highly reviewed, highly recommended by people I respect then I'd absolutely give them a go. If however I can't afford the highly reviewed/highly recommended fat PT and had to pick of just a few encounters with them then I would probably lean towards the more in shape ones. Odds would then be in…
