LOVE THIS POST! No pic from me yet, I don't have guns, i have pea-shooters. But i'm working on it!

I like http://www.truenutrition.com/p-947-whey-protein-isolate-cold-filtration-1lb.aspx in chocolate peanutbutter cup or strawberry cheesecake <3 Mixes well, tastes good and is high quality with low cals/carbs/sugar. I like it with water or made into protein bars (its easy to bake your own).

Bear in mind Biggest Loser is a TV SHOW - it's entertainment. Yes it can be motivational, maybe helpful in teaching some healthy habits. But mostly they want butts on the couch for advertisers ::shrug:: maybe i'm cynical but seriously, it's television. I only watched one season w/ the husband. We made a drinking game out…

Me too, i find her "style" motivating. There are negatives to the workouts (my knees are not happy, etc,), but excellent whole-body workouts and it gets good results. I do a jillian video 2-3 times a week between my serious lifting days and kickboxing. But i like bootcamp style workouts and i'm fairly aggro myself so…

oh the puns, you people just can't kelp it can you?

low-crab diets kick my halibut ;p

Most of my MFP friends are girls but i tend to add guys who have similar personalities and fitness goals to mine. My goals right now center on lifting weights (better form, more weight, and nutrition that supports those goals). I also have a soft spot of Agnostics, Pagans, Goths, Metalheads, Tattooed Freaks, Rockabilly…

bump for interest

What?? What am i even reading? Some people think there is an optimal "zone" perhaps, but it's not like you won't lose weight otherwise. All that junk, in my humble opinion, is bro-science and bull****. Did someone at a gym tell you this? Perhaps a PT? They are notorious for this bunk. For weightloss cals burned are cals…

Not old punk chicks. I'm sure i could improve my credit score by selling my stacks and stacks of punk 45s ... maybe. And i only bake protein bars. COME AT ME BRO.

Anybody else humming the Minor Threat song now? "sometimes good guys don't wear white" ::suddenly feels old::

Does anybody remember Chyna, the female WWF wrestler? she had a workout DVD a few years ago where she did a lot of weights and a bit of cardio in leather shorts, it was called something like "Chyna, more than meets the eye" ... i'm not so sure it's a marketable idea, I do not recommend sweating in leather workout gear ;p…

Cardio equal to tennis for the spanker, none for the spankee sadly :) Plus, nothing like working out in leather to make you sweat out whatever water you might me retaining ... sadly the weightloss is only temporary. Chasing someone around the room in 4" heels is also great for your calves.

I've done it both ways, and if you are not going to failure you don't need to do splits IMHO - especially if you only lift twice a week. If you lift every other day I think a split routine makes more sense. Clearly, opinions differ. I do know that you can do squats every other day, that is one exercise that will give you a…

You could easily double the weight on the leg press. If you don't feel anything the next day go up 5 pounds in weight on all the other exercises. If that's too easy go up in weight again the next time and find out where your failure-point is.

Sir Mixalot says: "Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".

your cardio is wiping out your muscle gains ... plus the undereating. I would not do cardio on strength days if i wanted to build muscle. Or just continue to cut and build up muscle later, you can get good results cutting/bulking rinse/repeat. you can also look into "Leangains" but i haven't seen any IRL good results from…

Man-up and eat them anyway. Try eating raw instead of steamed - i hate steamed broccolii and cawliflower and carrots but i like them raw. Try it w/ a little bit of hummus or home-made black bean dip. Fresh peapods are also awesome raw.

LOL, the hair is dyed neon red and the kickboxing is a Jilian Michaels video ... i'm street-legal, lol.

lifting weights kickboxing walking to the store (i don't like to just walk aimlessly) ...um ... putting down weights? ...er ... walking BACK from the store w/ groceries? sorry, i don't have five, it's more like three. I do 30DS but i hate it. I just do it because i like the results.

i make my own protein bars with whey, rolled oats, almondbutter, eggwhites and nuts (and water, you could use whole milk). Yummy, easy, portable, and more cals than just protein shakes.

toysbigkid - find a lower-sugar yogurt or just switch to cottage cheese (more protein in there anyway). Because of Insulin Resistance i need to keep my sugars/starches low and most yogurts are stupidly high in sugar.

Peach Schnaaps and Vodka... yeah i was maybe 13 or 14? I was so out if it i never made it out to what would have been my First ever Megadeth concert . ::crying forever::

Under 100. Personally speaking, if i go under 50g per day i get cranky and i'm less functional and have less energy, but about 80-100 is no big deal. How much to you generally get per day? I don't crave carbs like some people do so i'm just natually low-carb, it's not really something i focus on too much.

that's all i need in my house ... TWO guys sitting on the couch playing videogames.

a friend of mine just had this issue - she chose the Ginger Chicken With Broccoli.

WTF? that sounds terribly low in carbs. Jesus, get your carbs up to at least 50g ... really is it worth it? you sound miserable.

time to LEVELUP your body ... I'm a gamer but not into WOW - mostly old-school RPGs. This is just another kind of grinding, you know?

Not quite "clean" but: Chicken thighs baby carrots fat-free cottage cheese (Trader Joe's) Thin Thin protein bars Eggs bags of lettuce tomato avocado cucumber cans of Tuna unflavored 2x protein greek yogurt 72% dark chocolate bar (Trader Joe's or Godiva) Vegetable Melange (frozen veggies from Trader Joe's) Frozen Salmon…

you know, i hope to god that you will NOT work things out w/ her. Look, you were not meant to be together, you didn't WORK very well together. I know you invested a lot of time and energy and a lot of yourself in this relationship ... beleive that it was not a waste of time though, after some time passes you will reflect…
