  • The opinions on this will vary immensely I like Trutein. Its a quality blend without weird additives and it spells out what you are getting on the label. Other brands I've bought with no regrets: BSN, MusclePharm, Optimum Nutrition, Jym, Cellucore
  • I will trade with you...mine are under 15" and i'm working the shiz hell out of them.
  • I prefer the reflection I see in my TV when it's off. Sometimes window reflections are cool too. Actual mirrors don't quite show me what I want to see yet...
  • Yep...progress. Also the beach trip in August. I wanted to be able to see at least 1 ab before the beach because I don't plan on wearing a shirt the entire time I'm there. Did that last year at 220lb and the year before at 235lb...but this year i dont want to look tubby. After that the motivation will be the continued…
  • Throw the scale away and get a new one...lol Your weight loss rises and stalls every once in a while. I lost 5lbs in May, stalled 3 weeks in June...and then all of a sudden dropped 3lbs in a week and i'm back on track. Keep at it and it'll keep happening. Just remember to have a cheat meal every once in a while to shock…
  • Thats what I do and its working wonders for me. PFC 40,30,30
  • That's right...I remember the initial findings but never followed up to see if they were verified. thanks
  • 235ish lbs 195ish lbs
  • Pain is your body's way of telling you to chill. Depending on what the injury is, i'd say stay off of it and only do exercises that don't use it until you see your doctor and figure out the prognosis. Any upper body workouts are good, abs, upper leg stuff like extensions and curls...anything that doesnt cause your ankle to…
  • Oh...and youtube. Thousands of funny/stupid vines and whatnot that you can watch to pass 10s of minutes at a time.
  • When i'm at the gym...channel surfing on their tv treadmills takes forever and keeps me occupied while i'm running. Kinda funny...by the time i find somethign to watch, I've run for like 15 minutes and i can go home...
  • 162g would be my lean body mass and i'm 6' 200lbs and lift heavy for size and strength....you don't need that much. I'd be inclined to agree with the 110g comment.
  • squats. Basic motion of bending your legs and hips until you are in a cannonball position...then stand back up. You don't need to go all the way to cannonball...but get to the point where your upper body and thighs are really close then stand back up. Add weight if you can. Lunges. This requires basic coordination but you…
  • Every trainer is different. Some try to get everyone to do the same program...others tailor each program to each individual. Sounds like you had one of the trainers that don't give it a lot of effort. I wouldn't give up on trainers altogether but maybe that one isn't worth it. I had one that was excellent. he tried to…
  • Moar beef protein powder options: Less than $1/serving 23g protein 110 cal http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/san/titanium-beef-isolate.html Less than $1/serving 23g protein 116 cal http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/side-effect-sports/prime-protein.html Less than $1/serving 23g protein 124 cal…
  • egg whites... How about beef protein powder? This one is less than $1 per scoop...24g protein in 39g scoop with 110 calories and no fat. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/muscletech/essential-series-platinum-100-percent-beef-protein.html This sounds like a better plant protein than the one you have and its about $1 per…
  • I brought my horrible eating habits from highschool to college...and then from college to the desk job. Two SEC Croissants, Triple whoppers and 3 helpings of meatsauce spaghetti don't do much when you run around school all day carrying a 45lb bookbag, then go to tennis practice where I'd run around campus 2mi then do a…
  • The big picture is pretty impressive...the little picture makes me question your scale...haha.
  • I agree with swimming...walking uphill is difficult too. Zumba? Stationary bikes...hand bikes...stair machines...what can't you do?
  • The skin just takes time to tighten back up. You sound like you're doing the right things so I don't think you need any advice....other than be patient and set easy mini goals to keep yourself motivated!
  • In this part of the world, stories of ManBearPig were many. It had long been known that ManBearPig's favorite feast was a dolphin handed mermaid beauty with a side of humming unicorn. All of a sudden, without warning, ManBearPig leaped from the nearest bush, which was hundreds of yards away, and began sprinting at a pig…
  • I thought there was a study recently that found a certain something that could indeed travel faster than light. Damn, now I'm gonna have to go find it...
  • If you have consistently lost 2lb a week for 25 weeks... i'd be surprised. I would think it would start off pretty drastic and then slow down. If you feel healthy and energetic then i would stick with the current plan but if you'd like to up the calories...try adding 50-100ish every couple days until you're at a…
  • Good job! You going from 118 to 107 is like when i went from 215 to 190 percentage wise. Its a huge damn difference and its awesome!
  • If you worded the question like this, i would say for a respectable time i'd want it under 9 minutes. if you told me you ran under 8 minutes i'd be impressed. Under 7 would be like damn...those are high school numbers. When i was at my heaviest i could barely squeak out a 9 minute mile but i was always pretty good at…
  • Foods generally considered to be "clean" and "healthy" are not calorie dense. They are nutrient dense though. So if you eat clean and healthy stuff you can eat what feels like a boatload. junk foods and "dirty" foods are calorie dense and not nutrient dense...so you end up hitting your calorie goal way early and you wont…
  • i would start with 1500cal and adjust every few weeks to maintain a 1-1.5lb per week goal for starters. You probably don't need more than 1500/day though. My wife is 5' 1" and she started around 160lbs and has dropped consistently to 123lbs over 5 months. She eats around 1200 cal per day and works out about 1-1.5hrs too.
  • Same here....kind of... If I was super active all day and know I burned a huge amount...i'd potentially drink that extra glass of milk and eat the rest of my peanut butter... but if all i did was fly my desk, and surf the web...then maybe work out for an hour or two...no, stay at my normal calorie goal.
