Geez just answer the question and stop being so self righteous.... I like the rich and affair with hot answer :)

500 in 60 mins i would be a 4, maybe a 5

try substituting foods out one at a time and see if you can eliminate the problem. Good luck

I ingest almost 300 grams of protein a day and do not have a gas problem..... The key for me is to eat a tonne of fibre - fruits, veggies, whole grains. My brother on the other hand, who does not eat a lot of fibre and just sticks a high protein diet is a smelly beast.... Good luck

Simply WOW!!! Congrats to you and all your hard work!

I confess if i was thinking about homework tonight like i am about Pizza Hut's 5 buck deal i'd be done my three assignments.....

Set a goal like this. try to stay away from the BMI chart as it fits only one type of person with one type of build.

go for it and tell him. It's too late to worry about friendship as you have crossed that line and are now wasting emotions wondering. If he rejects your notion of taking it further, at least you have the piece of mind of knowing you tried instead of living with regret and what-ifs

I found the best advice I have, even though it seems counter intuitive is EAT BREAKFAST. I hate the sight of food before noon, but now that i try to even have some oatmeal or a bowl of cheerios - i feel better and actually more calories in the morning because my metabolism has been motivated to do so. I know everyone knows…

Of course!!! I've met some special people on here... and some hotties!

I read a study in Muscle and Fitness denouncing the common misconception of caffeinated coffee's negatives........ Coffee is regarded as a positive stimulant for weight loss. The notion of it being a diuretic was put into perspective as if you were to drink a warm cup of any liquid and you will have to go to the…

I wouldn't exactly say that women do not produce enough testosterone to "bulk up", they just do not eat enough calories to produce a muscled frame. I tell this to a lot of people in my gym - men and women. Men that they do not eat enough protein and calories to get big and women that they really do not have to fear of…

I use these http://www.bulkbarn.ca/en-ca/products.html?product=3317 and cook about a weeks worth so i have something quick in the mornings before school. Steel cut take a long time to cook 20-40 mins depending if you're one of those people that only cook on high. I add cinnamon, cut almonds and either dried cranberries or…

Not a scholarly source, but some good explanations. I think the problem people get with low weight/high volume is they are very slow to increase the weights over time..... http://www.daveywaveyfitness.com/tips/high-reps-low-weight-vs-low-reps-high-weight/

Whatever you start trying, make sure you maximize efficacy by using something over night...... You need to stimulate your parasympathetic system to start working properly...... So if you are staying properly hydrated, then try some high fibre foods before bed. Apples and clementines work for me, maybe some yogurt with flax…

I hope the Ontarians are signing up for Warrior Dash in July. A few of us from MFP are going again, and it was a great time last year :)

Since im a student it depends on finances, but ideally start the ink work on my chest and ribs. More realistically though - to wear wifebeaters again without feeling self conscious......

Single, but losing weight more to compete with all the youngin's in my program. They can tease me I'm old, but they've gained the freshman 50 and I'm still smarter :)

wow, you look fantastic!!! COngrats on your progress.

8.5 - you look too happy :)

Congrats. I smoked for over 15 years and what helped me was having snacks in the house that were healthy, filling, and easily accessible when a craving hit. For me it was celery and carrot sticks. I found i would need to prep them as soon as i came in from the grocery store so there was no excuse. Also, clementines when…

Can i ask what you expected the scale to say? Don't get discouraged... this is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix. I know its a lot of cliche, but it takes time for the body to adapt. As mentioned earlier, 0.8 is a great loss

to put this in perspective - squat down and pick something off the ground.... now stand up. Do you weigh more than 75 or 100 lbs? Not exactly the same as a leg press, but it shows how the body/mind works in different environments

i've been to warrior dash before and it doesn't matter what time you register for..... once you get there in the morning and get your kit, you can just run with any group. All you need is the fob they give you to be tracked during the run :) I registered for noon and im coming down with my brother, so we will need a room.

Just signed up - cant wait!!!

I just signed up.... Can't wait for May!!

A few years ago i had come out of a really bad relationship and started working out at night.... Anyways, this hottie blonde who was a phenomenal person and a machine with cardio, started coming in also, but an hour after i'd start. So i adjusted my times and we started chatting and one thing led to another and we had a…
