  • 6500 steps = ~ 3.5 miles 3.5 miles / 2.5 hrs = ~ 1.4 mph You could put walking at a pace of 1.4 mph for 2.5 hrs
  • I work in finance too and have heard some BS advice before: Best advice: Live on a college student's budget now and you'll be able to live like a king (or queen) later. Worst advice: Money comes and goes, so just enjoy it now because down the road you may not have it.. haha
  • I think it's one of those questionable foods. I personally don't drink it because it definitely hasn't been around long enough for us to know the real effects of it. Instead.. why don't you try some fruits .. instant energy boost. You could also try a protein bar or coffee.. they'll both give you a good amount of energy to…
  • Bread - Arnold's Bakery - Light Sliced 100% Whole Wheat (40 cals per slice!) Cheese - I use Kraft Fat Free American Cheese slices. For snacking I like the Mini Baby Bel Cheese Rounds and for spreads I use the skinny cow wedges Yogurt - I would do a greek yogurt so I normally do either Fage Total 0% with fresh fruit or…
  • hahaha Congrats!
  • As a general rule it's recommended that the average person have between .8 - 1.2 g per lb of LBM in order to preserve lean body mass. 54 g is definitely not too much. The only known bad side effect is kidney disease and that was in subjects that were taking in something like 300 g per day which is pretty hard for the…
  • The way I work it... Each prayer takes all of 10 minutes x 5 times = 50 mins. I have 24 hrs in the day.. For M - F 6 - 8 hrs sleep 9 hr work shift 2 hrs commuting to and from work 1 hr prayer ____ = 4-6 hrs "personal time" - eat, work out, kill time My workout is on my mind every day so I just have to keep a schedule. If…
  • It's pretty common. I didn't get any results the first 4 weeks. Keep at it - your body's probably just adjusting. :)
  • Thanks for posting this! I came across this before and meant to save it but never did. I'm saving it now :)
  • I agree! I'm not a fan of pork but that BBQ sauce doesn't look half bad :)
  • It's recommended for women up to 50 have at least 25 g per day.
  • I don't see why they'd be bad.. although you may get sick of having them everyday but if you don't mind and you have the cals.. why not? i've never had them but isnt it the same as eating 100 calories of flavored bread - is that bad?

  • Marry Hugh Grant (love him!), Bang Brad Pitt & Kill Gordon Ramsey Angelina Jolie Barack Obama Kevin Connolly
  • just because you're going to sleep doesn't mean you're dying. your body goes through A LOT of involuntary processes all day.. yes after 7 pm too. your brain needs energy to even think about breathing. your body didn't create the man-made 24 hr clock.
  • I don't know if you're doing any strength training on your legs but when I started strength training I noticed that my mile time increased almost immediately. my legs felt stronger and the next time I was able to pick up a higher speed.
  • I used to ALWAYS go with creamy until i realized how many more calories it is :-/ (who wants to lose all their cals from dressing right?) now I just pour vinegar which is so low cal.. and a little bit of olive oil (but not too much because its high in cals but gives you some of your essential fats too) and a few dashes of…
  • If its not a rowing machine it sounds like a Reverse Pec Fly.. does it look like you're spreading your arms like a butterfly?
  • I would be careful with that. You're actually taking in more smoke and nicotine than smoking a cigarette. That's why your lungs will start to feel dry after too much and the pull gets harder. It's fine on occasion but I don't condone it every day. I used to live in Dubai and we used to smoke during get-togethers. I still…
  • its basically "pulling water" from all the different non muscle areas of your body (skin & fat cells mostly) in order for your muscles to show more definition. my PT used to do it. im not sure if I understood him completely but he said a lot of models and body builders do it right before a show / competition and just like…
  • sexy mama! you're killing it.. keep at it! you're def on the right track!
  • I really think its a matter of personal preference. Within the last 8 months I've gone through periods where I: 1. Ate at random times throughout the day but kept my protein up. Strength trained 2 - 3 x a week. I lost weight. 2. Being Muslim, I fasted for 30 days for Ramadhan (kind of like IF .. i oould only eat after 8…
  • but they helped me! I promiseee!! hehe :-P
  • I agree but we're all human too and it's fun to indulge... honestly its proven to help people on a diet when they can eat what they enjoy and reap the rewards of their own hard work, plus I like the idea of a diet break every now and again. If I lose 10 lbs, I'm not going to turn around and tell myself "no! you can never…
  • I can't imagine that being too bad - depends on how high your protein is day by day. For the average female, .8 - 1.2 grams per lbs is pretty standard depending on your goals. Any excess protein will be stored as fat though over time. How much do you weigh and what is your average? Remember, meeting your other macros is…
  • and the more I run.. the more endorphins .. the happier I feel!! :-)
  • I haven't done a marathon or even half marathon yet but I plan to. As the youngest of 4 children I always felt like I wasn't good enough. My older sister is the "perfect older sister type" and my brothers are both pretty athletic. I was always the slower, bigger one that got picked on. I got the genetic factor of my…
  • Vertical lines are normal... you probably just hit it somewhere. Horizontal lines.. not so good. I'm assuming you're talking about these. Yes it's associated with malnutrition and some other possible diseases. I would go see my doctor. If you've been in a calorie deficit for too long, it could just mean you need to eat…
  • do you smile as you're doing them? i hear its the million dollar smile. gotta get to your dentist before you think about touching your shake weight
