In college all my roomates dyed their hair maxi blond. I went the other way & tried dying mine black. It turned a midnight Blue/purple color. I kept it that way till I couldn't find a summer job & buzzed it off. I had a job the next day.

I've been married for 8 years and have avoided the talk at all costs. I love my wife regardless. She was not a skinny mini when we met but has added weight over the years. She has given us two wonderful kids. During this time I've lost 50+lbs Gained it back due to medical issues & lazieness & am now down 35lbs over the…

My go to is a sirloin steak plain (pretty lean & less $$$ than a fillet) Steamed Broccoli or vegetables possibly a baked plain sweet potato

I tried making egg salad w/ mashed up avocado & salsa. Good in theory but an Epic Fail in practice.

I go from the gym directly to work so if I don't eat beforehand I dont get the chance till lunch. I have a banana w/ Natural Peanut Butter washed down w/ whey mixed w/ skim milk. Once at work I'll have tea. Ususally holds me till lunch pretty well & is light. I do this before both cardio & resistance days. Some will argue…

Are you breathing while exerting yourself doing the circuit training?

" I'm not saying its healthy or a good idea but..."

In my past I've tried a few. Anything that is sold as a dietary supplement since they stopped selling ephedrine is crap. That said look up EC stack or ECA Stack. I've been doing this for a month and began trying to break a plateau and have had success. I regularly log & track food & weight and stay pretty clean and have…

I've always understood that high to intense steady state cardio will begin burning muscle after about 30 minutes. To maximize the calorie burn do HIIT High Intensity Interval Training which is anaerobic in nature for no more than 20-30 minutes. You'll get less calorie burn initially but there is an after effect calorie…

I use the skull candy earphones w/ the rubber tips and they're pretty comfy & sound good. Ocassionally I have to push them in a bit but nothing excessive. As far as an armband DO NOT buy a Griffen Aero Sport. Its comfy & works well but I tried to wash mine, because the case can clip off of the armband, in luke warm water…

I've always heard weights then cardio because you wont have the energy to put up as much weight if you've done the cardio first. Additionally, I'm not a sweaty mess on the equipment if I follow w/ cardio do it's my preference.

I have the opposite problem MFP says way more than my treadmill at the gym. I follow the treadmill & adjust the time to suit. I've just assumed on a treadmill your doing less work than actually running as the track is in motion.

Tenderloin steak & double grilled vegtables instead of the potatoes. The tenderloin is basically fillet mignon & will be very low fat and much better tasitng & filling than chicken.

I've read in the Abs diet book published by mens health that if you dont drink enough water your body will retain more the less often you drink. By drinking alot of water your body adjusts by retaining less water. I believe this is where the weight loss aspect of water comes from. In addition the extra water will ret rid…

Kobe Bryant Mike Tyson OJ Simpson Because they all got away w/ it.

possibly apple sauce?

There are freeware apps you can get from cnet.com for an ipod to pc transfer. Most dont support video though.

i love biking because you can see so much more than running or walking plus its way less impact on the joints. Good job. Just remember it doesnt get easier you just go faster.

It seems nike and rebok always wear out or fall apart on me fairly quickly. I've been using addidas running shoes over the course of the last 3-4 years and swear by them.

banana w/ natural peanutbutter & Whey w/ 1-1/2 cup skim milk

BEER! Not light beer but Good Beer. I found out a Dogfish Head, Palo Santo Marron was 360 calories for 1 beer. I was heartbroken over this but I've made adjustments to diet & exercise to accomodate a couple of nights a week having a couple of drinks. During the summer you gotta be social.

I had bone spurs & arthritis in my shoulder. I had many cortozone shots that never helped because the spurs were still there & eventually opted for arthoscopic sugury. My recovery was not normal as some people have a tendency to form alot of scar tissue (me). The surgeons couldn't figure out my post sugury pain I had MRI's…

once you get it out of your system for a month & replace w/ veggies or other healthy alternatives when you have something unhealthy you taste the grease 10X more & the artifical crap 10X more. Get off of soda for a mont & drink water & a coke will taste like a super sweet syrup. Weather or not you will dislike it is a…

If your doing intense cardio with a really elevated heart rate you stop burning fat and start burning muscle after about 30 mins. You dont really see any distance runners that have alot of muscle. If you can do 30 mins of intense cardio & walk or do some other low intensity activity you can continue to burn fat instead of…

Your not doing anything wrong. The scale is only one tool to help determine overall health. If your seeing positive changes that dont reflect on the scale its ok. If your losing inches while maintaining your weight then you've replaced the fat with some muscle. This is good & will help elevate your metabolism. The scale is…

The best time to work out is when you can consistently do it. W/ family & kids that is first thing in the am for me. There are no excuses at this time & nothing can get in my way (except me). Plus you boost your metabolism for the day and feel good. Once you make it a routine it wont phase you but consistency is key.

Baked tostidos, The only ingredients are corn & salt. The bowl version has some oil in the ingredients. but only the three ingredients still.

I go to GNC to pickup whey as theirs seems to easily stir into milk the best (at least the chocolate). EAS & others clump terribly. I eat fairly healthy & am not looking for a quick fix or miracle weightloss. I follow many of the abs diet/mens health guidelines so I feel confident in my nutritional consumption. I just dont…

If you like avocado mash one like your making guacamole. Add the Tuna & I like to add either some garlic salt or salsa & put in whole wheat pita's. It makes quite a bit and 1/2 avocado is probably enough but as they dont keep well once opened I find pitas that can take the get stuffed & go to town. It looks odd but I like…
