I didn't want to be acknowledged, for anything, working out or otherwise. A "good job" sounded patronizing because I just wanted to go unnoticed, doing my thing, not getting in the way of any of you better-than-me people. It was obviously a terrible way of thinking, which I had to find out for myself 50lbs later, but the…

I just got my PS4 and love it. And I believe Kotaku a couple days ago said 1/3 of PS4 owners had only a Wii or 360 before switching to PS4.

That beard ????

So, the first part of my post is invisible? I am 22% body fat. Maybe if I get down to 15%, that will take, at most, an inch off? This is assuming there's still that much fat there to get rid of. They've always been this way. I started running, again, because I want to do SOMETHING about it, and running is the only thing…

Necro bumping so I don't start a new thread for a topic that has been discussed ALMOST to death. I am 5',120lbs,22% body fat, calves are 15 1/2" around, measure this morning. I HATE IT. They're not proportionate, especially since I've lost weight and my thighs have slimmed down. I want to cry reading that there's nothing I…

I'm sorry for skipping to the end to tell my story. You just have to find what works for you. I cannot drink water through a straw or a glass glass. It had to be ice cold. It has to go with me everywhere. I started with half frozen water bottles. That was a hard habit to get into but I had about 4 bottles freezing in there…

Peanut butter, I keep forgetting about that gem.

I didn't seem so bad until I see someone else saying it. Yep, I wanted things that weren't food this paycheck and now my cupboards are bare. What kind of stuff should I buy to eat next week? Should I not work out until then? edit: also, yes, I've gotten things out of the machine at work this week to try to fill it in,…

Is it okay to bump this? It was immediately buried.

So much to read, I can't keep up. Sorry if this is a repeat. Healthy, fast, cheap. You can only pick 2.

I used adidas miCoach to run. Varying workouts, training for a 5k, sets my pace according to GPS and my ability (there's an evaluation), and gives me calories burned. Maybe I hadn't taken enough time off. And I'll try eating back only half, that makes sense, thanks. I'm not buying new shoes, and I've heard great things…

Is it true that your body won't use more than 28g at a time? I'm mixing the powder in to my jamba smoothie, and recently read someone puts it in their oatmeal.

But I had the skillet with egg whites! And that's my attitude about it going up and down. Even when I eat poorly I'm tracking it, running it off, eating my exercise calories, not going crazy. I'm just not balancing my nutrients like I should. I have lower than normal patience with exercises I find boring, which is just…

I'm officially hooked on Aion again. Srsly, does anyone play? I also downloaded the cute-looking mmo from Steam, I forget the name, but it is cute and easy and fun. I am loving inFamous. I wish I could play more to keep up enough to play inFamous 2, the Bioshocks, AC, all the ones I've been missing. Especially with the new…

I'm always having this problem since I live in a Chicago suburb. There are so many joints and authentic and family restaurants, I almost never eat at a chain anymore. I try to estimate using a chain restaurant that I think is closest. I really wish more individual places would offer their nutritional info, or at least an…

Sorry if someone has already put it this way, but I was formulating my response and couldn't focus on reading past the first page until after I say it. I won't use the word struggle, because as other people said, you don't know about other people, but I get it. Just like I see someone small and think to myself that they…

I can't listen to music either. I have to be thinking and forget about the run. I preach conversational podcasts as if they're the newest bestest fad. I can't wait to listen, and since I restrict listening to just working out, I can't wait to work out. They're out there about any subject you want to listen to. It may take…

Friday night I did a 36 minute video while listening to a conversational podcast on a subject I am interested in. It was a real brain work out to divide my attention, and the time passed quickly. Making another attempt tonight.

I played Aion again over the weekend, mmorpg. Yesterday afternoon I got into a legion, did an event with them, and now I'm hooked again. Thankfully I have better habits. But I really missed playing a game like that! Also started up inFamous, thanks to PSN's Welcome Back. My 6 year old daughter is really good at Little Big…

Thanks everyone. I think I'm being unrealistic and hypocritical. I don't want to work for it. I don't enjoy being focused on the work, where I know most people are. I want to do something mindless where the muscles come as a side effect, you know? Maybe I'll try the 10 min video that was suggested. I did have a gym, I was…

So awesome! Such a great feeling. My sister's getting married in September. We sized the dresses in December, the dress was discontinued so we had to get them immediately, I was down 2 sizes. Then around when I thought I'd dropped another size, I called around and they had a left over another size smaller. I think it looks…

I'm a cynic. A girl at work had this and I don't buy it. Is it as much 0 sugar as spray butter is 0 fat?

I love Firefly! I tell everyone about it, even if I think it's not their thing. I have a pewter Serenity keychain too, advertising the nerdiness.

Welcome back PSN! I've only been counting the days because I've been reading this thread and feel like I've missed so much. I want to see if I can bring the old spark back. When I played FFXI, I found friends that I would have never found irl. I miss having that team. And now the market is flooded with MMOs, finding a new…

Maybe I am just having a frustrating day. I recently started zig-zagging my calories and have been sticking to it, have lost a few more pounds recently. My sister has always said that this belly problem runs in the family. I love LOVE soda and energy drinks. And I'm so particular about it. I love the fizz, but fizzy water…

I would also like calorie dense healthy food suggestions. I am/was at a plateau so I looked up a staggering plan. It has me eating a lot more calories than I was, and now I have a hard time getting them up there. I don't eat as many veggies as I should because I don't like them raw, and when dinner comes they don't have…

I was so excited, I replied after reading page 2. Now that I've finished reading the thread, I realized I forgot some stuff. I love Civ5. I never save my games though because the beginning is always the best part. I love Fallout, too. I traded it in with out getting too far in order to help my daughter buy some DS games.…

While everyone was playing WoW, I spent 4 years in FFXI. I played Aion for a while, going to re-install that for their 10-day reactivation event for the new content. I've had a serious craving for a good MMO, but because I was a console gamer for so long (FFXI on PS2), I didn't get a PC that could handle games. I can limp…
