I had an blunt impact injury a year ago. I caused soreness but no loss of function in my leg. Now, over a year later, I will get severe pain occassionally and it seems to click. My doctor told me it was probably a torn meniscus (sp?) and that either I could a) suffer with it when it comes, take advil/ naproxen or b) get it…

Third this. Go Banks. I don't know what these people who make these websites and spread this information are gaining from it, but it just seems silly. Saccharine was the devil 20 years ago. I'm sure that there was something out there before that... the media has to keep themselves employed, I guess:wink:

Any thoughts on the GNC style suppliments - Chormium Picolinate, L-lysine, L-carnatine, multi-vitamins, etc. I know that a well rounded diet should cover most of the bases for minerals, vitamins, and the like, but what you experienced regarding suppliments? I used chromium for a while, as well as EAS "Betagen", and…

just label the post ****SPOILER ALERT**** That way everyone knows.:wink:

sorry, that is just unrealistic unless you are hardcore training for athletics, ie 4k-6k cals a day in training. And that is only after you have built up a muscle base. I am really concerned for you because it is unrealistic goals and expectations that cause most people to fail. They see that they "can't " make it, throw…

quick anecdote on this song: a couple of friends and I are driving around and on the radio comes "top 5 songs of the '90's" and Mixalot starts blasting out of the radio at #5. We crank it up, sing a long and then are struck silly, confused, and enormously amused when #4, then 3, then 2 and 1 are all Mixalot BBB. FIVE TIMES…

OMG, hilarious:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I know this is really nerdy (and ironic, since I'm a huge fan of current music), but I would have love to have scene W.A. Motzart. I am really sad that I missed Foo Fighters when they were in town recently.

I knew that would get your attention :tongue: The FRENCHIES, that's who. After talking trash about spanking the US relay team, they placed a very close second to the Americans last night in a fantastic finish in the 4x100m freestyle. Unfortunately, I had to stay up until 11:45 to watch it, and now I am draggin *kitten*. I…

It depends on what you and your family take pleasure in. I lived at the base of the Rocky mountains for years in Colo. Spgs and was still FLOORED by the awesome grandeur of the Grand Teiton mountains and the hot springs in Yellowstone. There is a town called Virginia City in Montana that isnt a must see, but if you are…

Several speeding tickets (most recent 90 in a 70 - which is bs, my car would fall apart @ 90, but "the airplane" caught me..) 1 open container in college 1 day in jail (for a crime I care not to discuss):cry:

Like most guys (and some gals on here too:tongue: ), booze is a big killer, especially in the summer time. Anyone have any strategies to handle those bbqs/ beerfests/ nights on the deck/ et al? My usual is to just really limit the cals I have during the day so I can have more beers at night. Not fasting or starving, mind…

i recommend this, it worked for me: http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/38165/detail/ :tongue:

i would research nutrition or talk to a nutritionist. there are diet adjustments you can make to keep you feeling full longer, that are actually healthy. I speak specifically of adjusting your carbs and protiens, but I'm no expert. Also, there are different types of protiens. Some of them metabolize faster and you will…

I was so doped up (tylenol 3, lol. i dont do drugs very well) that i pretty much slept for 3 days. pretty painful too, since they gave me the kiddie drugs, so sleeping was better than being awake.

"As food additives, artificial sweeteners are not subject to the same gauntlet of FDA safety trials as pharmaceuticals. Most of the testing is funded by the food industry, which has a vested interest in the outcome. This can lead to misleading claims on both sides. " I'm sorry, and im not picking on you, but I found this…

um, "discovery channel" by bloodhound gang??? i kid, i kid

I am glad that things looked up for you a little bit. I stayed loyal to a company that was only loyal to itself for 2 years too long. I saw the writing on the wall but refused to ignore it due to the fact that they job was secure. I watched my pay go steadily down, however, and convinced myself that it would find its way…

I would find a site that does calories per excercise by height and/ or weight and use something like "step aerobics" or similar excercise to calculate. Its pretty important to figure for weight: my buddy and I would pound out 5 milers in about 45 mins and I would burn about 900 cals to his 600, but there was almost 40 lbs…

I'm not sure if you have ever explored Yoga, but there are some very strenuous sanas/ poses that are really quite a workout. The best part about yoga, to me, is that all the dvd's that I have include a nice cool down and relaxation period at the end of the practice. It is VERY relaxing and you feel great after your…

ok, i had this outfit: Teal chuck taylor high tops painted on 501's (button fly, of course) a neon pink t-shirt (generra? hypercolor?) w/ sleeves rolled, of course sometimes complemented with a tweed suit jacket with the sleeves rolled up to mid forearm. gahhh, im blushing while im writing this....

ummm, anyone else notice his shirt is tied at the bottom? hmmmmmm....:laugh:

sounds like you're just having some of the diet bummer blues, but here's a few ideas for you: remember that "dieting" should really encompass as lifestyle change, so perhaps re-evaluate your meals and substitute some foods higher in fiber and protien so that you feel more full. everyone has down days and "bad" days, but…

I've been posting and never said hi, so.. Hi! I like what I've seen here so much, but this forum is going to get me in trouble @ work! I tried a couple of other sites before, but this meal tracker is so easy to use, and it is exactly what i need to help me log what I eat. Here's to looking great by my birthday! (sept 7,…

unfortunately, sugar is usually the 2nd or 3rd ingredient in MOST cereals, even the good ones. just make sure you are monitoring your portions so that you can account for the calories and carbs.

please dont take your typical OTC analgesics: they all state that they are bad for your liver/ kidneys if combined w/ alcohol. I did the advil diet for years after a long night of partying, only to later find out I was just making it worse on my body. Putting meds in just gives your kidneys/ liver MORE toxins to have to…
