Hopefully you guys can help me..
I am looking to start making my own condiments and other stuff that will be used in other recipes. I know I can build a recipe on here. But my question, is it possible to use a personal recipe in another recipe? For example, I want to make my own mayonnaise. I then want to use this mayonnaise on a cheeseburger. Is this…

NSV: The Belt is Losing the Fight
So for a while I seemed to be notching down on this belt hard. New Years Eve the belt was 1 notch out of 9 and that was a little snug. I started just making better decisions(This is not related to new years resolutions, never believed in these) and by end of January I was only notch 3, almost notch 4 sometimes. I then…

Smoothie Makers, Need a lil help
I have been working a greater variety of fruits into my protein smoothies. Issue I am currently having, seeds from strawberry type stuff. Anyone have a good recommendation for how to remove this kind of issue? It is kind of the thing holding me back from really using any berries.

NSV, Very awesome feeling!
So I had some clothes from my wardrobe redo when I lost weight at 22. About a year ago I was no longer able to wear a couple of the shirts I have left that I just really like how I look. Well I could, but it would have looked terrible. Saturday I went to Columbus for my cousin's 30th birthday party, didn't want to wear the…

Help Needed, Strength Training
I am finally at the weight I need to qualify for my health insurance being paid for by my dad(awesome working for parents sometimes.). I have been doing all cardio, as that has always worked for me in the past, and I am sure it would continue to melt fat off of me. I will likely maintain cardio at a high level(I love…

In Progress: 2 Months, 21 Lbs+Weekend NSV
So I am not one to take a picture of my shirtless, because I look terrible. The girlfriend encouraged me to do it when I got started, though this picture was actually taken a little after I had started. The date is wrong because I didn't recall the exact day I started I getting healthier, so I used when I started using…

Getting protein into my diet, need help!
So I modified my diet to require more protein. Wooo. So now I am just putting more chicken, beef, tuna, and egg whites in my diet. This still won't get me entirely where I need to be so I have been looking into protein powders and found Dymatize Iso-100 shipped to me for $58, which makes it as affordable as prices I was…

Pressing my 30 minute jog, and dug so deep tonight
So I am REALLY wanting to get a 6.2 MPH pace over 60 minutes. I was doing like 4.2MPH at 60 mins, then decided to drop my workout to 30 minutes and focus on increasing speed(for a couple reasons, namely work taking a bit more time this week and tennis is starting up.) So tonight I started out 6 MPH and was working, and…

I could really use help replicating a meal...
I used to eat South Beach "Diet" Pepperoni Pizza. It was a solid 31 grams protein, easy to make(microwave, bang), and killed my desire for pizza. While this hasn't been AS big of a deal to no longer have, I still find myself wishing this Lean Cuisine had more protein and in general was a bit better for me. I was hoping you…

Popcorn good for you, in a way
http://yourlife.usatoday.com/fitness-food/story/2012-03-25/Popcorn-packed-with-antioxidants-hidden-health-benefits/53777198/1 Really cool information. I use a hot air popper and some I Can't Believes it Not Butter+Buttery Seasoning to give me a pretty low calorie sizeable filler snack for the "movie" nights with the…

Something came across my mind today..
I was reading a subject in Success Stories today about losing weight and still feeling the same mentally, The more I read it, it seems to be REALLY common. And it also seems REALLY hard on people. My cousin has lost an insane amount of weight and you can occasionally tell he doesn't really "feel" it yet. When I lost my…

My first NSV post
This isn't exactly the first true NSV I guess, but it is the first time I became really aware of it. New Year's Eve I had a pair of khakis and a belt that only went to the first notch. Over the last few months I didn't think about it, but had moved to 3 notches in. The real win was I now HAVE to wear this belt to look…

New to site, beginning my return to my healthier life.
I'm Chris, I live in Ohio. When I was 21 I weighed 225lbs(avg'd) and I finally got sick of the double chin/general lack of feeling good. I cold turkeyed soda(I could take down 6 cans a day easily) and fast food and just started running my head off. I also did some work on a Total Gym and some benching. I was never focused…
