1) As far as flavors go, I like garlic parmesan and Asian-style (which requires a sauce; you don't want that). 2) All wing recipes are the same: season with a pinch of dish and a dash of that, then back on 350-400 degrees for 40 minutes-1 hr. Tips: -Speaking on tips, discard of your rib tips. I like keeping them, but they…

1) YOUR dietician. 2)You don't have to yell. 3) There is a point to eating your exercise calories. There ISN'T a point in creating a calorie deficit more than 1,000 calories. So, if you have a 1500 calorie requirement, MFP took off 500 calories for you. You can burn 500, eat your required 1500 and be fine. but When you…

This is like saying you can lay in bed and watch TV all night and it's similar to resting because it's less strenuous that work or school. You can do less strenuous workouts on some days, but I'm going to tell you why you don't want to. The rips in your muscle need to heal. Every time you continue to work out on your tired…

I recently started the C25K and it makes me happy because it the right amount of challenge for me. I'm doing things that were previously impossible in my mind. I should probably be playing "Eye of the Tiger" when I work out :P You don't have to be happy with every moment of your journey, but the good should definitely…

It is starting to consume me. People say, "Well, if our not losing weight, maybe you're gaining muscle," so I wanna know how long it takes to gain a muscle. People say, "100 calories consumed and you'll go into starvation mode," so I wanna know exactly what must one do to go into starvation mode and how long it takes.…

5'2" and I started at 225, but I'm at 202 now.

I'm with Pink_turnip on this one. My diet consists of tasty AND healthy food items. We have baked chicken wings and baked sweet potato fries every Sunday, but it doesn't seem to interfere with anything. If there weer a day that would be considered a cheat day, it's the day that I literally don't have a meal planned or…

As long as you take other factors into consideration (stress on joints, adequate nutrition) and allow yourself enough rest time, I think you'll be fine.
-
If it's in the morning, do both. You've already starved yourself for ~8 hrs and your body is feeding off the muscles. As you workout, your body will burn muscle even more. Eat something light: a fruit, snack bar, protein shake, etc. After you workout, get some protein and carbs inside you. At any other time of the day,…

Interesting; I always go over with protein. Then again, my home is stacked with protein bars, protein shakes and meat.
-
Send me a request, soldier!
-
Good point! The only liquid calories I have come from protein shakes and milk.
-
1) Protein makes you feel full. 2) Fiber helps you stay full, especially those whole grains.

Cardio is how you earn your calories that you can "spend" today. Strength training is your investment; put some energy towards it and you can reap the benefits at a future date. You won't be able to see them yet, but they will be working for you over time.

Hmmm, I was thinking this is quite American of her! CHUG, CHUG, CHUG!!
-
Absolutely.
-
Believe it or not, you just reminded me to take my vitamins for the day.
-
I agree with you! Diet and exercise go hand in hand! Also, for support and motivation, feel free to add me!
-
I'm glad I'm not the only monkey in here... banana before workout!
-
But, just like my diet is my choice, so is my child's diet... On that note, my kids will either love me or hate me (or both) for the amount of veggies I will push on them.
-
Thank you for your generosity, mighty CommandaPanda. I shall pass on this great tool as it was bestowed upon me!
-
Not when the buggy is piled so high or when they have two buggies... no amount of fruits and veggies can redeem you for that much crap food! I do, however, buy my produce at other stores because the stuff from Wal-Mart always goes bad fast. I'm not so concerned with the truth value of the things I say in my mind. They are…

Also, for the record, planking doesn't happen in comfortable/common places or in privacy. Essentially, if you plank and no one is there to see it (or snap a pic), your planking efforts are insignificant.
-
It isn't that big of a deal. I like video games and some think that they are pointless. Some people think meditation is pointless.Trying to evaluate the things that people choose to do for fun is pointless.
-
Yes. compression shorts and under armour shirts, as others have said, help keep you dry and cool. No gimmicks!

My curiosity has been sparked. a.owens3@umiami.edu

I judge people at Wal-Mart based on what they have in their cart. White bread, sugary cereals, frozen dinners, GATORADE, and ramen noodles. Srsly, I wouldn't judge if you had just ONE of those things (except for ramen noodles; I wouldn't wanna give that crap to the homeless). I've seen plenty of guys (who I assume are…
-
Well, I don't think my eating is the cleanest. I can't say that we do ZERO processed food here. Lunches and dinners are usually prepared from scratch, but breakfast (cereal) and snacks (bars) help us cope with our schedule. Not to mention, I have to make the diet fit in the budget. Bottom line: if the nutrition label looks…
-
How much are you eating (in calories) and how many calories are you alloted for the day?
-
Ya know, I must lack this ability. I hate when I've only lost five pounds and people say they can see it, because I always think their BSing me.
