Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm also really confused about how to interpret between the Up3 and MFP deficits. I had an indirect calorimetry done at a local university and found that I have a resting burn of 1555. So as a result, I know I want to eat at least this amount no matter what, to avoid lowering my metabolism. So on any given day, I burn…

Yoga is great. However, Yoga practiced in heat is not conducive of fitness. Goes against your bodies necessity for homeostasis and produces no real tangible health effects physiologically. It's an emotional cleans when combined with heat room practices. This sort thing belongs in the new age, spoofy catagory. A proponent…

I find that lean cuisine is merely low calorie alternatives. You get lots of artificial fillers, processed stuffs. Not alot protein, minimal anythign else. Not to mention the contents could feed a child. I prefer Amys, while little more expensive are all good ingredients that I can actually count towards my daily. While…

Congrats on selling type two diabetes... That's the moral of your story.

Damn! Looking good!

I think there is a misunderstanding. Eating healthy, isn't smart ones or lean cuisines. Those are low calorie foods. Not the same things. I eat healthy 90% of the time and spend no more time in the kitchen than before. Healthy are things like whole foods, veggies, fruits, beans, lean meats, etc etc. I made modest changes…

Your amazing. You did what you set out to do, and your still going strong with a new toolbox of life tools to handle things outside of weight directly. Your the few. Congrats on taking your life to new potential heights.

Great work!~

Wow this is AMAZING. Period. Our bodies are a gift, and we cannot afford to mistreat them! I'm glad you stayed strong, resilient and figured it out where others might have crumbled.

I don't look 180? I'll take that as another compliment! I bought that shirt, the blue one. When I looked at the receipt it said "Young Boys XL". I thought it was a girls XL. I never owned a real trendy womans shirt before. Mainly cause the sleeves are to in my armpit for comfort. But that explains why I liked the fit on…

Thx everyone. It's definatly the overall trend, not the short terms. Thanks for compliments! <3

OK. To start, this is incredibly misguided. Your blood type has nothing to do with your weight loss and reflects a general lack of knowledge to human biology. Your blood type is determined by antigens on your red blood cells, which indicates what antibodies the cells contain. This has zero to do with your weight. The…

^^ this to the above poster. Also, depending on the cal deficit, whether it causes your metabolism to lower if it's chronic. EX: 1200 def daily for a month, would likely (in most cases but not all) cause your metabo to lower. The result is a plateau if it's long term (2+ months for example) I've noticed in me, when I take…

I'm 5'8" I started at 240 roughly and am currently 184. I lost this between September 2011 and now. Hardcore since November 2011. Shooting for something in the 160s

Funny you should ask. I recently made a map for my cartography class. It plotted all the TRI (toxic release inventory) sites in my hometown. I then highlighted the ones within a half mile of the rivers. I then plotted the cemetaries located within leaching limits of the river. Surrounding the cemetary, was a buffer zone of…

Wait, what kind of bikes we talkin here? I hate recumbents, so my opinion might be worse if they were recumbents. I can concur this would annoy me as well. You just have to remember, we all started somewhere at one point. Clearly they will not get far at that pace. But on a collectively positive note, caffeine an hour…

WHY did you resize this? Bigger the better. You know your hot....

800 on weights? No. Is this what your HRM is telling you? You can really only go by that when doing cardio, and even then is not the most accurate device. You'd be surprised. You'd actually be better off going by the calculators here on weights, measuring your time by when your actually lifting minus resting. I weight…

Just once it's meal you have to refridgerate it. That's all. I get it both ways. I actually prefer the seed whole for my cereal. But whatever works for you I would say.

I'm really confused on what exactly your question is. BMR is an abstract of what's estimated to be your metabolic rate. It's not static. Meaning that it can change given different variables. One of which variables is your bodies desire for homeostasis, inputs and expenditures another. Example: Jane has a BMR estimated to…

:drinker:

My BF just got implants a few months ago. For her, she litterally had soupy A-cup boobs. She did a large C, and likes them. She complained about the pain for a month though. Things she said she didn't like, was the attention she got having them. People did treat her differently, even strangers. I seen them without clothes,…

***claps*** :drinker:

Is there a possibility that their diet was simply not enough to maintain that muscle mass? This is before we talk about 6-7 days a week! I think you should compare an orange to an orange, as I doubt there are BB here. Just saying.

You lose muscle through inactivity. Simple. Your body won't start to canabalis(sp?) itself (lean muscle) if your using those muscles semi regularly. I believe I read somewhere once a week is the lowest you can go. However, you won't gain muscle in this environment. Regardless of how hard you work out. This idea you lose…

I think the serious get this at some point. I too was told, I was over doing it. That I wasn't 20 anymore... etc etc. No I'm not 20, but I can do more than most 20 year olds in the gym and in general. I think this comes from those who just simply dont understand health. The process of fitness, getting to a supreme and the…

Gospel spoken here :drinker:

Chocolate protein mix. Some berries.

Well, I don't think there is a problem per se. Just keep in mind that lean meats and such offer a perfect balance of amino acids. The building blocks of your body. No science can mimic that perfect process period. So I would say as long as your eating a healthy, well balanced diet full of fruits, vegs, lean meats and that…
