Sounds like the new workouts are taking a lot out of you (more calories out than coming in). If the new "clean" diet is boring and bland, it's no wonder you are craving fast food after your workouts! Keep healthy and exciting meals on hand and eat small meals throughout the day. Look up new recipes that will keep you…

Yes, keep doing weight training. My main exercise is weightlifting and I am trying to get to a lower weight class so I make sure my calorie intake is from good sources with quality protein and complex carbs. What are your ultimate goals? What is your ideal "look"? I would keep a healthy balance of weight training and…

Whey protein shake. It will help repair muscles from the weight training. Its convenient to take and make (one scoop in a shaker bottle with water). I'd try a banana or a few fig newtons before your cardio just to give you some carbs to make it through the workout.

I agree and I apologize for that. I didn't think people would take offense. Stay strong.

wiaf doesn't mean thick. I just don't want to be blown over by the breeze.

Well, I didn't... she said she squats her bodyweight..I said I squat double my bodyweight. I just thought she was curious why she still had a leg gap.

Congrats on maxing out! Cardio is important for overall health, especially if you want to lose some body fat. I run and swim too because I like to stay limber and athletic. Either way, you are getting up and moving, I think that is wonderful! Strength training is necessary for bone density and boosting your metabolism.…

Thanks. I'm sure there are lots of controversial posts on here besides mine. I happen to have a strange and sarcastic sense of humor. Lots of people don't get it. I will try to be cautious and tread lightly next time.

I didn't mean to insult you. If you naturally have a thigh gap, that's great! I certainly don't... but I also squat double my body weight. I just don't want women to feel like they should "have" to have the gap because beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. If you start squatting double body weight or more you are gonna…

Hello, I am sorry that I've seemed to offend you. Let me clarify a few things in regards to your post. First and foremost, that was all meant to be a joke. I'm not really concerned what people consider "healthy" because everyone is unique and everyone's definition of "fit" "healthy and "attractive' is different. I just…

It was a joke. That's my personality. People come in all types of shapes and sizes, I love salad as well but it's not ALL I eat. I also don't starve myself down to be something I'm not. If that's the way you NATURALLY are, then that's great! That's all I was trying to state in this message. I want real people who are…

Will do. Yeah sorry I just didn't see the boob part and figured she thought CF was super girly and wanted to warn her that most of the time its not pretty. :-p

Ok then! I saw the boob part just now. Yeah, it might skim the girls occasionally but only if the lift isn't done correctly. It happens... joys of being a lady.

It was a joke, and if you knew anything about CF you would have gotten the joke

If you are only looking to the ladies for Crossfit you had better stick to your aerobics class. You do know CF includes weights, muscles, bacon and puking, right? In other words, yes, CF is wonderful.

honestly, nothing. I generally abide by "grilled' "fresh" "unsalted' most of the time but when I want a piece of chocolate, I have it, when I want a steak, I have it. Just fit it in your daily calories. You can't deprive yourself or you wont stick to being healthy for very long because you will be just miserable.

Any diet that recommends "No exercise" sounds like a bad idea to me. Just eat clean and workout

I personally think any strength training is good. I prefer squats/ presses with a barbell instead of kettlebells but done the correct way, I hear they are good for all over toning. I find kettlebells are good if you can't make it to the gym. I have one that I keep in the living room and bust out a few squats when a…

Fire, Don't know many guys who can rock a thong...but you did...so automatic 10!!!!!

what a biotcchhhh!!!!! That should make you want to work out even harder to prove her WRONG! Don't ever expect a compliment from people like that, though. It's probably all about her and she sounds like a very selfish and insecure person.

Well mlgarcia.....11!!!! cus I'm thinkin "dang" right back! haha

Relocatedcowboy... cute... 9.8 ;-)

Thanks everyone!

I don't run that far..2-3 miles (but hopefully I'll push myself more when I have nice new shoes) I DO walk long distances though...sometimes up to 10 miles...I am not looking to break the bank either... just need some mid-range shoes. Anything I get can't be worse than the $25 dollar worn out-department store ones I own…

Good idea! Thanks!

Actually I look nothing like I did in HS. I was in a punk rock band and had black hair and black frame glasses. I was also in Theater. I can't wait for my HS reunion...no one's gonna know who I am.

I did play some softball...Little league though!

Theatre!

Ashleigh don't be scared! I don't see the Sharon Osborne thing at all...Def Ginnifer Goodwin...very pretty!
