Great job, way to go!

Input 'Circuit Training'. Even so, it's not very accurate. You may be in your box for an hour, but you're warming up instead of actually doing your WOD...or standing around for 10 minutes or catching your breath between sets because you're dying... If I do put it into my exercise diary, I reduce the time significantly. And…

Thanks! :)

No, you both answered perfectly, much obliged :). And thanks for the calculator! Gonna check it out after I get off.

Thanks to all who answered, very helpful and much appreciated! One more stupid question and then I won't bother anyone else about this - IIFYM practitioners generally stick within a particular calorie goal, right? You would have to, wouldn't you? Otherwise you could have 7K calories of food that fit perfectly within your…

Ok with this IIFYM thing, can I not go over my protein and under my carbs and be unreasonably pleased with myself? If not, should I just try eating in moderation, sticking within a calorie range and not doing anything that will possibly cause me to cry (read: clean eating)? Serious question btw.

Because you would be the exception to the negatives, I'm assuming.

Most people just don't know. I think when you've been in the game for a long time, you forget how ignorant you were when you started out. There's so much misinformation flying around out there (and in here) to top it all off. Re: eating too little and not losing - I'm almost positive that these people are not counting…

Log everything you eat, no matter how small and no matter how tedious it can be. I'm pretty bad at this but getting better...I figure that if you're logging you need to do it right or you'll end up hurting your progress in the long run. Also, invest in a food scale. After a good while you'll be able to measure more…

That sucks. I hope you get things sorted out. If you don't, just remember that almost everything you need to learn to work can be learnt on the job. School is primarily to teach you how to research, prepare and make presentations, present arguments and play nice with the other kids. If the class was that important to your…

That sounds right to me. What a horrible inconsiderate guy, eating food that he likes while not sharing with her due to the commitment she made to herself, notwithstanding her apparent lack of will power. She should definitely break up with him.

If you're honestly asking, I feel that persons who are put in a position where they have to defend their stance are less likely to drop it or listen to alternative reason, as a matter of course. If you are trying to inspire persons who are doing what you feel is the wrong (or more difficult/less sensible/less…

See, I can kind of get irritation at people who insist that you must "eat clean" to be successful at health and life, and persons who eat processed foods of any form are going to die painful deaths from stupidity and chocolate cake. I get it, it's annoying...rage on. I don't understand needlessly looking for an argument.…

gonna try! thanks!

Glad you have decided to keep going, Steve! I struggle with this too. Distinguishing between actually putting ourselves first and doing whatever the hell we feel like doing despite the consequences is difficult, but once you figure it out and stick with it, it changes everything! Congrats on your initial loss and I wish…

Great job! You should get to your 'HAWT line' in no time! :)

You look amazing. This is so encouraging, seriously! Congrats on your progress and I wish you continued success on your journey.

interesting...someone told me about this and i thought it was weird, but now i might try!

gonna try! :)

Nice!

Wow..that's truly amazing. Keep up the good work and congrats! You should be very proud of yourself :).

Great job! Congrats :)

In future, please refrain from such hilarity between the hours of 9am to 5pm for the sake of your MFPals' jobs. "Wow I Totally thought that was Butter"?? LOL! Dying over here... ETA: And low fat mayo is horrible. I prefer full fat everything actually - just minimize portions and make sensible decisions! Why work so hard to…

Great work, you look amazing! :)

See, this is just what I needed. I've recently started heavy lifting and have been nervous! because in the back of my mind I still think that I will look like a big ol' man once I begin to see results. You look great and the very opposite of bulky and manly! Way to go!

Weekends! sigh...

So happy for you and your family! Best NSV ever :)

Wooow you look fantastic! You need to share your workout plan like yesterday! Most awesome transformation I've seen!

I would have agreed more if she had compared 'crap frozen' to just plain old 'frozen' rather than to fresh. It seems like comparing apples to store-bought apple crumble to me - we can assume that the unprocessed food will be healthier than the processed. There is fish that is frozen but not breaded, and you can coat or…

Whoa big results! You look great! Way to go, keep doing your thing! :) :)
