I try to stick as close to the 1200 calorie limit this site set up for me. I "earn" calories back almost everyday for some amount of exercise... If I go over a couple times a week but still am under the 1200 net I still seem to loose a couple pounds at least. I don't want to make a habit of it, however. I have lost about…

I've never used it "straight" in just water. I make it in a smoothie (I buy whey protein in a vanilla flavor). Spinach and bananas are good options and you can use either water, juice or almond breeze (my choice) though the calories and other factors will add on as you use a different "base". I can't say using it this way…

Thanks for all the great ideas everyone! I am doing alternating upper and lower body workouts on the machines at the gym every other day and I include at least 30-45 minutes of cardio on those same days.

I liked weight lifting when I was younger and have been trying to do that at least 3x a week since beginning of June, in addition to workouts at home. I haven't done Insanity (or P90X...…

I don't think I have eaten my 1200 calories on any day in the almost 3 weeks I have been using this tool. Most days I do get extra calories for exercise which do allow me more flexibility for a snack or other thing during the day. I am also noticing the scale going down, which is great considering I have been trying for…

I don't think anyone should take offense.... I used to work with a gal maybe 20 years ago and she probably couldn't put on weight if she tried she was so thin. Yet she worked out at the gym and constantly was asked "Why are you here?" I guess some people don't understand fitness is a lifestyle regardless of your size or…

A nice balance of tattoos, especially on the arms, a shaved head (if you can pull it off, otherwise don't!), obviously in shape but don't need a ripped body, sense of humor, very intelligent (geeks and nerds are in!) :glasses:
