  • fantastic beginning... won't be long before you find the groove
  • there is NO way to provide a general caloric burn associated with resistance training... a person could do 3 sets of 20 reps with a 5 lb dumbbell.. is that going to be the same as someone doing 5 sets of 15 reps with 30 lb dumbbells? how about if someone does 3 sets of 20 with 5 lb in 2 minutes... v 3 sets of 20 in 15…

Be happy, enjoy what you do, smile at everyone you meet, be kind to all you greet. help when you can... BE a noble man... a gentle man and being a gentleman will become second nature...be that and a worthwhile woman will find…
  • don't think about "dieting" as a weight loss method...think dieting as a healthier way to fuel your life... reduce your caloric intake, and manage your portions.. pay attention to your macros, and try to keep those balanced. YOU said yourself that you are a yo-yo dieter... one thing I have learned from being here on MFP is…
  • Do, or do NOT there is no try
  • I was 19... sitting on the side of a country road... it was MY first real job... and I said to myself... "what the hell did you get yourself into?..." I was 400 miles from home... living out of a motel with a bunch of strangers... I could have gone to College BUT I decided to make a living using my muscle instead of my…

  • grab a bottle of water, or get them to pour you a large ice water and get them to drop a lemon wedge in it. IF you have to eat something... they have fairly healthy snacks... an herbal tea is good too... no too much caffeine... you can put a lid on it.. and just let it cool down... IF your aim is to impress.. Grab a bottle…
  • If you really want to lose weight.... add about 5000 helium party balloons to your belt... I have always considered that the purpose of MFP was to create a healthy sustainable lifestyle thorugh diet AND exercise. THAT the tools provided were to assist in that goal by teaching folk how to manage what they put in their mouth…
  • all exercise stimulates the body's "chemical factory" the endocrine and exocrine... which processes all the nutrients your body extracts from the things you ingest... lots of cardio makes you an efficient machine.. able to go long periods of physical stress... weights.. makes you a strong machine.. capable of intense…
  • really Tall.. short guys.. get the short end of the stick when it comes to the chicks... and I'm an EMU I like me the chicks... Smart or funny?
  • No, it's okay... you go ahead
  • protein supplements are not meal replacements... "smoothie" is okay except that it aint great for weight loss... macerating your food means you will digest far quicker than you would if you were eating and chewing your food. Smoothies are far better once you have everythign under control and need to fuel a workout or…

  • Protein ..and more protein... and avoid high carb foods, like white bread... and sugars... think of your body as a furnace...and the food you put into it.. the combustible material... white bread... and sugars... are like tissue paper... toss it into the furnace and "poof" your hungry almost immediately... complex carbs...…
  • I say sell the light ones... and look for second hand in the weight you want... BUT definitely jump by 5 lb increments.. alternatively you can keep the weights you have and increase power by attaching a rubber band to the dumb bells this is truly an evil technique because as you stretch the band the resistance increases...…

YOU'RE pretty BUT you're fat... and because YOU are.. you should actually consider my offer because even IF you are married.. an offer like this does NOT come along often.. 'cause.. like..

IT will take you up to 12 weeks to create this gym…
  • The issue here isn't one of health... it is about properly defining what a salad IS... once that's established. it becomes a question of portion control...THE OP's assertion that "WE" think salads are healthy... anything digestible can be deemed "healthy" as long as it is NOT poisonous OR causes an allergic reaction to the…
  • MY only source for whey, is from New Zealand, the brand is NOT as significant as the source... BUT I enjoy Kaizen Isolate. The New Zealand Herd is free of Hormones and Antibiotics which, as I understand it, cannot be said for whey coming from any other animal source on the planet. OF course IF you are not getting your…
