The protein shake isn't just for those that are lifting weights? Crazy... its to repair muscle. Muscle needs repair when it's being worked. But, I dont think you need the shake. Just make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet, like pork/chicken/fish, and you should be fine..

I have 3 week plateaus all the time, then 3-6 lb drops. Patience is KEY and people need to learn that!

Loud music, listening to comedy, playing with the dog, ride my Harley (loud..)

Once you learn to accept and love yourself. Try counseling or a therapist...

Either wait 1 more week, trust me, or slightly up your calories. Sub in more calorie dense foods like a beef dinner. Eating candy is not a good habit to 'add more calories' because they're useless nutritionally.. Thin people do not lose weight linearly (i.e. consistent). Your body is holding on. Up your calories a bit, say…

Good job!

Salmon with a ginger teriyaki marinade. Or with fresh lemon juice.

Eat carbs not protein before the workout. I bet you you won't get dizzy. That's all. No horror stories needed here until she tries that haha

BodyMedia FIT. If the price is too high, search on Craigslist..

Protein before a hard workout doesn't give you energy that you can use during your workout. Your body can't break it down in time. Perhaps try a gatorade. You can even dilute it a little if it's too much. I get this a lot when I'm training and it's not something you need to call the doctor unless you try other options.…

I have 12 workouts/week that I spread over 6 days, totaling ~20 hours. Each workout is different than the next. I'll have a long run and a speed swim workout one day, then bike hills the next day. These workouts are according to an Ironman 20 week training guide so I just follow each week's guide, though perhaps scrambling…

I go through long plateaus (3 weeks) then sudden drops (3-6 lbs). At the point I see a drop, I'm just so happy to see downward movement that I usually don't have a treat or even a reward. Just constant improvement and a new top/dress every now and then is a reward in itself. I wouldn't want to ruin it with a binge per se,…

Hi lindsey. I'm currently training for an event and Trying to lose weight. Many would think it's cake but it's not! Feel free to friend me for some training and nutrition motivation!

I love the running skirts but my fiance hates him. Too bad :-P I think they're cute. I have ones with pink undersides...lol rock it and don't worry about what people think!!

Quality shakes might be better immediately after a workout, but quality real food trumps all! Try some chicken people! :) Grilled kebabs anyone? YUM!

Ive never seen a study show that eating less than 1200 makes you gain weight. Not true. As long as you get your basic intake requirements and try to meet pro/carb/fat intake levels, don't worry 'Omg if I dont eat any back Im going to starve and gain weight omg' Good luck! :)

Haha eat back what you really feel you need. That seems to work for me. Some days Ill burn 4,000 calories and only eat 2,500. I just don't/can't stuff myself, but I make sure Im getting adequate pro/carb for the day. Maybe at the end of the day, look at what you're missing: carb/pro/fat? Then, if you're still hungry or…

Yeah I like the River Trails but its too much for me to get to on a daily basis for my workouts. I did the LA River Ride (70mile) a few weeks ago with a buddy and I was amazed how much work they've done to improve the trail! Its too much for me to get to every day though for a workout. Might try lifting my seat up yet…

Good point about the gluco..I'll see what the chiro says on Friday. He's a pro cyclist lol

First sounds about right. The second might be higher. We recently made pizza from scratch and were amazed how the calories added up..

Hm sounds like I should peruse craigslist for a trainer. Unfortunately I currently use a gym that's right next to my work. It means I dont spend an hour driving home convincing myself I don't need to work out today. Luckily I have another gym by my house if I need to do run bike intervals but it'll cut into closing time…

Both are inaccurate probably. I use a BodyMedia, which will usually quotes half of what MFP says and is way more reasonable for me..

I know it won't change. I'm asking if anyone's used this setup (bike + stand) for hours at a time while staring at a wall or tv and not gone absolutely bats**t crazy..

Ok guys thanks for the advice but I can't bike outside and still fit my training schedule. The trainer is good prep for an Ironman that has a flat consistent course. I've done it before for the 1/2 IM and was fine. I take the actual road bike out every now and then and I do great.. I wish I could just 'drive somewhere…

Thats awesome. My fiance would complain if anything more is removed from my behind... :(

Thanks. I've heard that glucosamine might help. I think it stems from something I'm doing on the bike. Maybe a knee brace would help with that? Not sure.

I have a road bike and it works fine, but I can't bike outside for reason x,y, and z. Considering the stand that allows you to bike indoors though I'm not 100% sure if it will help. I know they're not cheap..

I see a BodyMedia! My fiance and I love ours :) Great job!

Careful..sometimes protein bars are just glorified Snickers bars with some protein dust..

I live in Los Angeles (aka hot as balls AND snotty central) and I've never seen anything like this. Complain to their corporate office.
