Oh good :) I love chocolate milk.

Thanks for the advice on recoop, I'll probably use a heating pad. Is there anything I should be doing after the gym? I usually just go home and shower, should I be stretching, or something along those lines too? I'm still trying to get in the habit of proper, daily gym use, so these things aren't a science for me yet.…

Granted, no, we are not hobbits, but most diets advise eating multiple smaller meals rather than 3 large meals, and the hobbit style of loading your calories in the first half of the day is far preferable to eating a lot in the evening like most people do.

Yay! I'm glad Im not the only one trying to eat Hobbit Style! Trying to eat super often is difficult, but its much easier to eat proper portions when you know youll be eating again in an hour or two. I have found some great add-ons for MFP but have not yet found one that lets you add additional meals to the schedule. If…

Go to my home, and then over to settings, and click on "update diet/fitness profile"

Middletown/Lancaster Pennsylvania. I live in Middletown and attend school in Lancaster. Hoping to be ready for boot camp in July for the Air Force.

My name is Inga, and my fiance and I are set to enlist in the US Air Force this spring, with an intended ship out in mid summer (yes I know, Texas in July yuck). I need to lose about 12 pounds, and my fiance has about 20 pounds to lose. I have some serious training to do before I will feel fully air force ready.

I probably will start running soon. I just need to wait for the foot of snow outside to get plowed off the side walks. I go back to school in a week or so and they have a wonderful track thats open 24/7(although their work out facilities are sub par and I think I'll keep my gym membership just to be safe). I will also take…

Thanks for your concern! I take an arsenal of vitamins everyday just to be sure, since I worry about getting enough calcium and vitamin C on this diet, and have been doing well.

Yes, I am fit for military service, as my allergy to my cat and her litter is not disqualifying. I do not have the option of swapping sleep for more gym hours, because I am stuck at home during the day. No car, and no gym within walking distance. Even at the farthest stretch of walking distance, like 5 miles. I'm hoping in…

Thanks! This is a great idea!

I'm on a low carb diet, and can personally vouch that, no, it is not easy, but YES it does work AND FAST. However, the most important thing is to eat in accordance to your macros, eating the right amount of calories, and exercising. Feel free to message me and I can help you with some delicious low carb meals. It…

My goals end up being both fitness and weight loss for the air force. I need to get down to entry weight before I can continue with my paperwork, and I need to be able to reach base fitness goals before I can ship out to boot camp. I do cardio every day, and I rotate high intensity and low intensity, I burn around 250…

Hi :) I had/have a similar problem to the one you have now, and it can be hard to feel good when you put on weight. My fiance said the same thing, but finally accepted the fact that I didn't feel good in my body, and has been helping me to lose weight. I personally would advise a low carb - high protein diet (I'm on one…

Thanks for your input. I think that I will have to go out and buy some nuts to help me get to the calorie levels I need.

I know it sounds like overkill, but I use my protein powder and a splash of chocolate syrup. I have to blend it for a few seconds to get the powder mixed in, but it's definitely healthier than using cream

I'm the OP's fiancee and thank you guys for your input. I think we'll just stick to our hi protein- lo carb diet and drink plenty of water. We were specifically looking at the acai berry cleanse, but this thread, and some other research I've done has made it clear that that isn't the way to go. Thank you everyone who gave…

I'm struggling. I'm on 1200 a day, AND low carb. I need to be down to 165 from 185 by February (I'm at 180 now). Support would be appreciated.

I am one of those people who has a "super palette" that being that I am extremely sensitive to aftertastes, and I've been using the Body Fortress Super Vanilla Whey protein. It's really good and has no metallic after taste. It does ACTUALLY taste like a vanilla milk shake. I like to mix it with some low carb cool-whip (the…

Since I don't do rice anymore, I've started doing stirfry with canned chicken 1 can of canned chicken an egg or two Olive oil (I use bacon grease for flavor) Low carb veggies of your choosing (I usually add different colored peppers) Fry the chicken in a pan until it is broken down to approximately rice size bits and…

Honestly, Depo works differently for different people. I would suggest getting your shot (as a birth control method it really is one of the best) but keep an eye on your weight, and maybe add an extra workout into your weekly routine just to be safe. There are a lot of pros to Depo that if you message me we can talk about,…

I want to put in a word on the good side for Depo here. Depo does not work equally for everyone, and it's effects differ dramatically between users. I was on Depo for 2 years in high school and was going to the gym everyday, sometimes twice a day. I never gained a pound on it. I switched to the pill for a year, gained 15…
