That sounds petty and rude. You know there are more reasons to exercise than just your appearance, right? Like, your health? There's a saying that goes "No matter how slow you run, you're still lapping everyone who is on the couch" ... You do you and keep going. Make little changes at a time and keep track of your…

My dad's health to be alright again, the family stress over this to go away, and for my cold to go away. :|

TIL that Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza a day or about 350 slices per second.

Certain types of food will satiate you more and for longer. Meal timing planned to your individual preference may help curb the hunger when eating at a deficit. Please don't confuse that with the 'don't eat after 8pm' or the 'you can only eat clean!' folks, this has nothing to do with that and I certainly don't agree with…

It's likely because they are very active and lift weights or resistance train. It takes a lot of food to fuel those activities, and the more muscle you have, the higher your RMR (resting metabolic rate - see http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calrmr.htm ). All of the friends I know who eat like champs also train like champs.

I googled 'lean cuisine meme' and this is what I found....

^ this.

The main problem with the concept is that it is impossible to alter the pH of a patient's blood without causing severe health concerns. Mammalian blood contains a vast number of different pH buffers which evolved to automatically raise or lower the blood pH if a deviation occurs.[4] These buffers heep the pH of human blood…

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ This will give you a good idea, as well as http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/bmr/ Don't eat below your BMR. Eat below your TDEE to lose weight. It's okay to go below calories a few days, it's okay to go above a few days, but watch for trends. Adjust as necessary. Keep notes on…

You want a replacement battery for your phone or one of those portable charging stations, fully charged. They're cheap.

Are you weighing your meals? Do you eat out at restaurants a lot? I just started weighing my food and it was eye-opening to say the least. Restaurants may post their nutrition and calorie counts, but often times the reality is the food is more caloric than advertised. Higher sodium will cause you to hold onto water weight,…

It's not a thigh-size issue, my knees just hate my legs being crossed. Ive had patellar subluxation (where your kneecap goes flying all over the place) in the past. It's painful. It's not good for your circulation either, so... there's that.

If you want motivation to exercise and eat healthy, go into any Kohl's dressing room and try something on. I swear to the higher power, they design those rooms specifically so you look your very worst.

I WISH stuff like this was a viable option. I'd totally strap myself in and be uncomfortable if it meant I could eat all the foodstuffs I wanted and still have a trim waist ... but the truth is, corset training is very unhealthy and dangerous. Basically, you're reshaping your bones and your body to be smaller around a…

That guy's face is so weird.

A trainer did the exact same BS to me at 24hr Fitness, telling me all that you mentioned was out of whack. It's part of their spiel to get clients to sign. "Only I have something you want (exercises to fix glaring physical errors which can hurt you) so pay me a lot of money and I'll give them to you, and you should thank…

It could definitely be phrased differently, but I got what he was saying. Basically, if you lose weight, you might be losing fat and a bit of lean muscle as well while in a calorie deficit. Keeping your protein goals high ( .8 or 1 g per 1lb of lean body mass is a decent goal) and strength training can prevent LBM loss.…

:smile:

That sounds like a delicious dinner idea to me ... I can't stand okra. It's slimy, why would you do that to yourself? I used to be a very picky kid and basically got by on grilled cheese sandwiches. Luckily, as I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate a lot of different foods and I have a hard time thinking of ones that…

Congratulations on all your hard work. Great job, sir.

I love the 'don't worry about calories' dietician folk, all prepped and primed to write their first book on how to lose X amount of pounds in X days with 'this secret superfood'! ♥

Springfield looks like a rock star... and eats chocolate in bed. I'm gonna listen to her. :smiley:

Chili. Find a low-calorie chili recipe with ingredients that suit your tastes and fill it with beans and veggies, make a huge batch, store it. Good for cold weather. Lots of soups are low calorie, same deal. Southwest chicken - chicken breast, beans, salsa (or rotel), corn, peppers, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro ...…

I prefer to pounce on young deer. No utensils needed, just tear in. Avoid the flailing hooves though, those suckers can hurt.

Your chopped spinach, cucumber, tomato, etc. don't get mushy on days 4 and 5? What sorcery is this?

There are so few of these animals since they cost so much to train and keep that I doubt you will ever be inundated with them, unless your gym advertises as a special facility for such a thing.

Great advice for the new lifters. Lifting is the way to go! Keep it up, sir.

How about that one chick trimming her nails behind me? .... shudder.

We don't even have entire half walls that extend only as far as the desk. I miss my office.
