First problem is, don`t judge the US based on NY. :noway: We have fresh everything here, year round.

This is one of those, does my butt look big in these pants questions. :noway: IF, you feel eating that cookie is bad, YES it`s bad. If your mentally ok with it, eat it, log it, and be done with it. The answer to this one is in your head, it won`t come from someone else.

You`re 19 years old and active. My suggestion is, print what you said out and laminate it for safe keeping. But also, record you weight and measurements along with it. Then measure weight and compare every 10 years. It will be lots of fun!

Yes, I can tell the difference. But I eat pretty much the same things everyday.

As a noob, use the machines. Its easier for a new person to stay in control, and learn to develop form. Most importantly, have fun with it and learn how to lift at the gym, not on the internet.

Arby`s roast beef and side salad ~ or fish tacos

OP, :noway: I will be nice and go with the above answer.

No And he maybe the coolest guy on the planet, but no.

This smells of troll post. If for some reason this would actually be true, you need the ER, and not a message board.

It disappears from where it wants as lose, you really have no choice. But you can count on this, the places that you most want it gone from will be the last ones to go :laugh: p.s. you better measure again, I don`t believe you had 40 inch thighs, and that they are now 24.5 3 weeks later! Well, unless you used a butcher…

My Mothers ahhh ahhh ah, never mind.....

Really? :noway:

Work on building muscle "lifting" and get your diet right (lower carbs, especially last meal of the day) and the fat will slowly go away. And yes, it`s that simple, unless you over think and complicate it. But I don`t see you making many muscular gains lifting 2 to 3 days a week.

Good for you too. Glad I broke my rule and actually read comments today.

Good for you, gym`s are full of great people. Years back, gym`s were also a TRUE social place. Sadly now, the majority walk around looking at the floor with ear buds in. Then, they beeline for their cars. My old gym use to have a juice bar, and people hangout and talked. People everywhere are losing their social skills and…

Go to the gym, put in your ear buds and get on a treadmill or elliptical. Put your blinders on and ignore everything around you. Focus on your movement and what your listening to, and nothing else. And repeat this method until you become comfortable. And then slowly expand your areas. Best of luck....

Chicken and ground turkey. I use a griddler, like a big George Foreman grill. Place on grill, close lid. Done in a few. And like I am sure has already been said, eggs, milk, cottage cheese, tuna and protein powder. I buy it by the 5 lb can, ON Whey Isolate for about 50 bucks at the Vitamin Shoppe. I like the cookies ad…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

10, if you give my sun glasses back! -2 if you don`t.......

Been there my friend, I`m 6`3 and was a beast for many years on the football fields. And like you, I let it get out of control for a few years. Got fat, slow and weak (for me). Felt like crap all the time, both physically and mentally. I have came back hard, and doing great. You can as well. Being an athlete in the past…

Honest answer, both. Its calories........

Yeap, I agree.. A few more drinks and the % climbs. Ok, all jokes aside. So what IF, he slipped you a little extra in that "free drink" then next thing you know (if your lucky) you wake up raped and tossed in a ditch naked. But nothing like that has ever happened has it.

I guess you could say that I carb cycle, but not like that. For me a carb cycle up or down is 4 to 8 weeks. Pending on what I am trying to accomplish. More power and put on some more size, I up my pre workout carbs. When I get where I want, or lighten up on lifting, carbs down. The only time I have ever remotely cycled…

My advise is always the same. BABY steps. People fail because they try and do too much at once. Complete or huge life changes are hard and really never work. So just go at it slow and learn to enjoy yourself. A buddy of mine who ate lunch at McDonalds daily and super sized it. Usually got and extra burger also. SO when he…

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, hands down best. I like the cookies and cream.

First, good for you on lifting. My advise is this. Figure out what you are wanting to do, and what you are trying to accomplish. THEN, and only then, find what exercises and type of exercises it takes, and what you need to be doing to reach that goal. Me, its bodybuilder training all the way. High rep counts, I train hard…

Only when I didn`t have a GF..... :laugh:

Who cares what anyone else thinks. Its just smart, I wipe everything before I use it......
