I'm interested in trying this. What brand of pure pumpkin / pumpkin spice did you use? I'll probably skip the water and just use a full serving of unsweetened almond milk. :) Any reason for using chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla?

A lot of good choices listed by people already. I'll add: - Peter Wiggin and Bonzo Madrid from Ender's Game - Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei Lannister, Viserys Targaryen and many others depending on timeline/POV in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. - The Crippled God in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

I'd be doing some combination of: - reading a book - taking my dog to the park - going to a museum - going to the gardens - shopping - going to a movie

This. I have at least one serving a day.

"Get busy living, or get busy dying." - Andy Dufresne, The Shawshank Redemption "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words,…

Mizuno WaveRunners work well for me. But everyone is different.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal Lower Sugar (Variety: Maple & Brown Sugar, Cinnamon & Spice, Apples & Cinnamon).

I'm 6'4". I've lost around 30 lbs total (not all through MPF). People did notice...and now I'm apparently 'too skinny' or 'thin as a rail'. :( I also typically put things up in high places just to watch short people struggle to reach them. ;D

Sadly, mine isn't fake.

Umm....wait....what? o.O

I ate less than I do now, but bad foods. Breakfast - Typically nothing. Maybe once a week I'd go to Chic-fil-A and have some chicken minis and a sweet tea. Or a coke out of the vending machine. Lunch - This was my biggest meal of the day. Could be anything from pizza to a cheeseburger + fries to a salad drenched in…

PB&J Unsweetened Almond Milk + ON Gold Standard Double Chocolate Protein Powder Chicken Burrito Bowl from Chipotle ;D

I've been trying to get my upper body strength up. I've started with 'modified' or 'girl' pushups. Working my way up to 'regular' or 'guy' pushups. I could probably do the regular pushups now, but my ankles and wrists don't seem to be strong enough. :(

1. More strength training. 2. Faster/Better running times. 3. Less sugar/sodium + more protein.

2 PB&Js every night for me. I love them.

This has been a pretty informative (and in some cases, uninformative) thread. Here's my newbie question: I've been doing mainly cardio (5 days a week) for a couple of months now. I've lost weight, which is good (hoping it's not muscle, but I've upped my calorie intake as well...and continue to do so). I do other light…

Have a self serve frozen yogurt place near you? Something like a Yoforia or Yogli Mogli? That's where I go now to get some fat free cold goodness.

Please notice I did say 'cheat'. :) Also: Breyer’s Naturals Vanilla Ice Cream http://www.breyers.com/products/Original/Natural-Vanilla.aspx Much shorter ingredients list. :)

I saw this topic and went to their site to do the same research. Sadly, I agree with you. :( High in sugars (and not the good kind). I'm sure it fits into many people's diets...so good for them. Not for me though. When/if I go to cheat with some ice cream, I'll get the real deal!

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Double Chocolate + Unsweetened Almond Milk = delicious.

I currently do: Fat Free Yogurt Protein Shake Low Sugar Oatmeal Thinking about switching it up to ditch the yogurt (trying to get rid of unnatural sugar): Scrambled Eggs Protein Shake Low Sugar Oatmeal Every now and then I throw in some whole wheat toast. :)

Elie Wiesel George R. R. Martin Orson Scott Card

Some sci-fi/fantasy to add: A Song of Ice and Fire (series) - George R. R. Martin Malazan Book of the Fallen (series) - Steven Erikson Ender's Game (series) - Orson Scott Card The Gunslinger (series) - Stephen King The Coldfire Trilogy (series) - C. S. Friedman

I run 5 days a week. My current schedule is setup like so (distances continue to change as I improve my times): Mon - 3.5 mile, steady pace, outside, 30 mins. Tues - 3.5 mile, mix between high intensity (sprints) and a slower pace, treadmill, 30 mins. Wed - no running (a little strength training) Thurs - 3.5 mile, mix…

Back in college, we'd turn out the lights, cover the windows, and play SH/SH2 with the music up. Spookiest games I've ever played. Also, the original Resident Evil when the dogs bust through the window...almost pissed myself! And on the PC, 7th Guest and it's sequel the 11th Hour were both pretty creepy (puzzle games).

Nuts Seeds Beans Cheese Other lean meats (fish, turkey, etc.)

For headphones, I just bought these (SHQ3000): http://pulse.philips.com/blog/2010/06/17/sports-headphones-no-sweat/ Best I've found so far. The sound quality isn't the best, but they haven't fell out of my ears at all (all previous ones I've tried have). They also come w/ a clip so you can clip it to your shirt so the cord…

I love whole wheat. :) Two pieces of whole wheat toast this morning and probably two PB&Js on whole wheat tonight. Yum.

Haven't played anything recently, but I have a PS3, Wii, and a PC. Most of my gaming was PC (World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2). Favorite Game of All Time: Final Fantasy VII

My change in diet (more protein, less fats, less processed foods) and change in exercise (running almost daily) has actually helped me in the digestive department. :)
