What about back/neck DOMS? When I lie down, it's hard to get up. After about an hour it relaxes more, but when I try to sleep it comes on again. I'm currently on an every other day routine and don't want to miss any workouts. I just started my routine, and I'm still doing the 5 basic lifts/exercises. I'll definitely do…

I sent someone a pm once to sort something out. They wrote back : Go Away. Forever. I'd prefer a pm, but some men you just can't reach. Btw. Love the gifs. Most of the folks here are decent and funny as all get.

I was looking at that one! How do you like it? Have you cleaned it? I'm used to rifles and shotguns (ba-boom). That would be my first concealed.

I actually found a powdered cream with NO TRANS FAT. Most say 0, but they have small amounts, and hydrogenated is just evil sounding. It's so bad for you. Anyway, most powdered cream has hydrogenated junk in it, but I found a brand called Sammi's Best online. It does add about 25 calories per tablespoon, but it's better…

This is weird I know but for me, I lost inches fast, then the weight is slower. Someone told me to limit sodium. They said maybe my body is slowly 'absorbing the excess skin'. I dunno, but you're doing great. Keep it up. :)

'Here's what I do' .....your results may vary. My personal doctor didn't recommend a pint of ice cream every night to help my kid gain weight for the military. And my kid wasn't diabetic or pre. I said -I- have chicken breasts pre cooked for snacks..... But whatever; the poor poster has deleted her account. Perhaps they…

Good in yogurt too. For a healthy snack add it to mashed bananas and nuts (google protein cookies). It can add a nutty flavor to your chicken dishes too, in place of cashews or peanuts. As always, experiment and have fun!

If he's on board with healthy food, then he should be on board with helping himself too. Here's what I do: go to bed earlier so I can get up earlier and make breakfast. Boil an egg for lunch every day and drink a protein shake or the like pre workout. On the weekends cook lots of chicken and bag it for a healthy snack (…

Bwahaha ha:....(explodes from sheer awesomeness of this).

Wait!!!! Is unicorn bacon in the MFP database? Because, ****e, it's gotta be calorie free right? Mmmmm, unicorn bacon cups filled with pixie dust. ....

Very nice! I've looked at the program, but haven't gotten it. I know some will call me noob, but is the T25 aerobic or dance moves?

That's awesome!!! I used to go to conventions all the time, and I know that most girl costumes and characters are for skinny girls with big boobs. It's so hard to find a 'fantasy' character that's sized like a real woman. I hope you can create your own person a. I think if you can find a genre and a costume you want to…

Tell him more protein and healthy fats! Seriously, does he have any time to read the Internet? I know some good sites my husband uses, and he's doing well. A plateau is expected. If you want to talk web sites, shoot me a note.

I am in Dayton, about. I am a geek, a Christian, an animal lover, a stepmom, a wife, an artist, a chef and work part time. I'd love to meet new people with similar interests. I'm still trying to find an exercise I can enjoy, but I'm thinking about recreational sword fighting. I used to love it. Yep, I guess I'm weird.

But to be on the Bachelor you need a horrible personality. So don't change. :tongue: :wink:

I won't go to the gym. Not for awhile. Because of self esteem. But if I had to go, and I was doing something wrong, I'd want you to feel comfortable enough to tell me kindly. So I don't hurt myself. Once I did it right, feel free to encourage me. Don't congratulate me just for being there. There's nothing wrong with saying…

All excellent advice. It's true that she needs to log it and be realistic. If you don't eat enough you won't store fat. Starving underfed people don't stop losing or gain weight from not eating. Is she eating the right kinds of foods too? And drinking lots of water? Depression can cause you to overeat and not care.…

I love you. In a platonic admiration way. I think it's so important to be helpful and kind while you post here, and I appreciate your help. Here are some of my observations: correct me if I am wrong... If you are new to weight lifting and are on a deficit, you can build mass if you are very overweight. You have to be…

My hobbies are gaming, television, computer gaming, then board gaming, with some craft time, reading comics, then watching a Horror flick followed by another game. So I get you. And I'm probably twice your age, lol. When it's just me around, I find that I love to putter. I used to get up and just do things, all…

I don't mind a big guy. In fact I prefer them. A big guy usually isn't a shallow guy. I've been rejected, but I know it's not me. It's them.

Intermittent fasting. Try skipping a meal and see how you feel. Drink water instead. If you feel ok , 2 days later, skip 2 meals. When you do eat, up your macros o that you get 50% of your calories from protein foods like meat fish and eggs. Skip dairy for a bit, skip carb and skip beans. Try to eliminate as much sugar as…

Here's a good link: http://nkdep.nih.gov/resources/nutrition-sodium.shtml Fresh foods, like veggies and fruits are pretty good for keeping sodium levels down. But cut down on sodium gradually. Going cold turkey will make his taste buds revolt! Most companies try to make a salt free version of many foods, but for canned…

And that is exactly the thing that happened to me! Kindred soul, I wish you health and happiness.

I gained weight because I would eat only 1 real meal a day, and the rest of the time I'd grab a snack here and there. So I have a mindset of planning meals around balanced healthy choices now. A lot of my calories used to be empty ones, like constantly drinking flavored coffee triple cream, triple sugar, or choosing bad…

Ha, geeks unite! I'm looking forward to spending some time in the sun this summer ( it won't kill you? Who'd have known!) getting my Slave Leia beach towel from ThinkGeek any day now. I really hope I'm not Jabba sized by June, but any progress is great. Last year we celebrated May the Fourth with Wookie cookies, light…

Enigma! That was definitely our old ' under the covers workout' music! Every time I hear Deep Purple 'Space Trucking' it takes me back to a happier time. Also happens when I hear old Pink Floyd.

I like beans and rice too. They are good to add into salads. I could probably add more to my plate while putting very little onto my husbands plate to balance my defecit. Great ideas all, thanks!

I think a yogurt at night would be awesome too. Or maybe as a pre workout snack. My husband has been very aggressive on his plan, so I eat with him. He needs to lose a lot more than I do, but I'd feel guilty if I baked a cake and he couldn't eat it! I plan to try and do a strict diet for 4 weeks, and then set a realistic…

I had one lettuce chopped and added with my spinach. Spinach is better for me, but I like a variety of greens. The food diary can be clunky sometimes. I had a meal replacement shake one day because I was very busy. I should have added that I tossed fruit into the shake but I forgot. Perhaps part of my problem is not…

Peanut butter sounds awesome!
