I weigh almost every time I walk into the bathroom. Sometimes before and after peeing. I just like to see the variation.

I confess that I secretly smile when skeezy guys yell obscene "compliments"

I just went to an intro, and I really liked it because the coaches pushed me harder than I push myself, so it was like cheaper personal training. It is for all fitness levels, except if you aren't willing to push yourself to your limit. In the intro class, there was one woman who stopped early because she said she couldn't…

I love Optimum Nutrition Casein Chocolate Cake Batter. I make a 1:1 mixture with water, stick it in the freezer for 15 min and have a nice pudding-like consistency. It's decadent and yummy tasting and doesn't mess with my lactose intolerance. I make regular shakes too, tastes richer with almond milk... but I love the…

I've gotten skipped twice! Laura - Alice in wonderland

I recently tried the black bean brownie thing and it worked out great, so I'm definitely going to try this!

I have that too, I don't think it's bad as long as you channel it towards good things! I always try to be better and I think that is what makes me constantly improve :)

Self bumping in hopes that I can prevent at least one of these threads?

I just want to thank all of my friends who have helped me since my finger has been in a splint... It's been hard to function, so thanks! Mostly as a pointed insult to my roommate, who has spent approximately 45 min home in the week I've been unable to move my finger and has asked for gruesome pictures, but offered no help.…

People weren't reading it and then typing unsubstantiated "But you NEED breakfast or your metabolism dies!" So by quoting it a few times there is hope that someone might read it and not type a blatantly untrue statement. Or worse yet, substantiate it with an incorrect explanation of the thermic effect of feeding. That…

Only if you'll keep the abs and throw mama a smile :)

I wasn't attacking you, I just have a huge problem with people telling other people that they need to do things a certain way. That includes people that say fasting is the only way to go. However, if you read the leangains site, you'll see he says that there are a lot of benefits, but that the lifestyle is not for…

I was gonna say "Do Not Enter" Pisces

I can't give up an excuse to say fortnightly, so I'm going to pick that. Seriously though. Whatever works for you. I'm impatient, but also scientifically minded and somewhat removed. So weighing daily works for me. Multiple times a day even. I like the fluctuations. I only record once a week though. Whatever keeps you…

Just when I was about to complain that nobody read my post! Really I'm just trying to quote it again in hopes that people will read it and eat whenever they want!

@thebigcb GI Joe!

I like http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ to calculate macros. That said, I keep my protein close to 1g/lb of lean mass every day.

Hey, I was just going to say that you can "scale" inverted rows by playing with the angle of your body in the starting position. Anyways, sounds like you found options already!

Here are two sources I found that explain that intermittent fasting is fine. Here they didn't really find that intermittent fasting was better than continuous eating, but let me repeat, it is not detrimental. I'll repeat this again, while standing on my tippy toes hoping those people who keep repeating the oft-quoted,…

I like this article because it is on women specifically. Of note, they were postmenopausal. Since not everyone may be familiar with primary sources, I bolded the things I think are most important to understanding why this is relevant Menopause. 2012 Aug;19(8):870-876. Short- and long-term effects of continuous versus…

It's intelligent and helpful posts like this that make me glad you're on my flist. And the pic doesn't hurt things either... OP: Seriously though, a moderate calorie deficit (preferably with adequate protein, assuming you like your muscle) and resistance training (again, assuming you like your muscle) are the most…

I can't eat once a day because it makes me nauseous to eat that much in one sitting. However, I prefer two meals with a couple snacks as needed. Leangains.com is an excellent resource on intermittent fasting and will explain why meal frequency doesn't matter one lick. Do what makes you feel best!

If he can't out-squat me, he can't handle me. Period :) I didn't read the whole thread, but I like this article http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/general-philosophies-of-muscle-mass-gain.html for mass gaining. Not to mention he links to his other, also awesome, articles. Also, I agree with the guy that said you…

http://www.cordianet.com/calculator.htm is good for doing the math for you, if you aren't a math lover. And just to be argumentative, the person I quoted said above something about BMI putting 150 as overweight, which is true, but then here talks about body fat. Body fat is much better. I'm overweight by the BMI chart, but…

I'm 5'3.5" and currently 150, which puts me at a size 6/8. I'm okay with the weight, even though BMI says I'm overweight, but I would prefer a lower body fat... I want that "hint of abs" look... and that's my goal weight. Using my body fat estimations and body fat of fit women, I think that will be around 135 lb for me,…

Everyone is different. That's why the studies on birth control show that it doesn't make women gain weight: Approximately equal number of women lose weight and gain weight, but a lot of people DO have some effect on their weight. I started exercising more and logging July 2011. In October, I had lost over 10 lb, things…

Damn, I was gonna say the same thing :) I haven't made a pizza crust, but I have made fried "rice" Anyone tried with frozen cauliflower? I kinda wanna give it a try...

Tagging to find this thread later, I've been considering getting certified and trying it out. I think that a lot of people would respond well to a trainer who has their own before and after pictures. Especially if the after is what the client is looking for. I love reading about health and fitness, so I think I could do a…

That's what I do. I just take a nonstick pan, cook up whatever meat and veggies I want. Zucchini and spinach are my current faves, then I cover that with about 4 cups egg whites. I'm lactose intolerant, so I don't use cheese. I sometimes use textured vegetable protein in lieu of bread crumbs to bulk it up a bit. Last time…
