My Workout with SideSteel
So this morning I got to go workout with Patrick (SideSteel). He taught me how to do some lifts (deadlift, squat, bench) and I have to say, it was the most fun I've ever had at a gym! Pat made everything really easy for me to follow, and he explained everything to a nerdy degree (I loved it). We kept it really low key,…

question about weighing food
So, I'm trying to be precise in my intake and my question is do you weigh food (specifically meat) before or after cooking? Also, I just weighed some bacon, the interwebz tells me that 100g is like 515 calories, my bacon was 58 g - 2 slices (~300 cals) and the package says 2 slices for 140 calories. WTF!!!!!! Thanks!

Psychologists or Counselors out there (question about career
Hey, Are there any counselors or psychologists out there? I'm just wondering how you chose your graduate program and what your experience was like. I'm interested in Clinical Psych (possibly counseling psych) for my grad program and am just exploring what other people have done. I'm interested mostly in practice but it…

Terrified to start.
Hi Everyone, I'm Tanya and I'm terrified. I'm 24 and have put my life on hold because I'm too insecure to do anything or meet people. I'm sorry I'm not bubbly or excited, but losing weight (which I desperately want to do) means that my defense is getting torn down. I have "tried" to lose weight in the past and when I begin…

Seemingly silly question about protein
So, I feel dumb asking this because I feel like I should know, but how do I eat more protein and less fat? I seem to get about the same amounts of things everyday and would like to reduce my fat intake a bit and increase my protein. Thanks so much for the help guys!

Minimizing Damage
Hey Guys, I really just want to get your advice on something. I know that I'm going to be going out to eat tonight, and I'm going out to eat something that is not good for me. Normally I would just choose a better option - but I'm choosing to eat something bad. Because it's a staple, and a once in a lifetime thing. Well,…

question about hunger
Hey guys, So I'm sure a lot of you have this issue, but I'm not really sure what to do about it. Last night I came home from work (around 1030 pm) and I was STARVING! Absolutely ravenous. Which is what usually happens to me because I work weird hours. By that time, I had used up my calories for the day. So I ignored it,…

Please help with meal ideas!
So here's the deal, and I'm sure there are many of you who can relate. I do not have a normal schedule. Ever. No, no, not exaggerating. I do my best to wake up and eat breakfast at about the same time everyday but that's all I get. Mondays and Wednesdays are the hardest - I'm in class all day from 10am - 5pm with…

Strength Training Question
Hey all! I'm just coming back after some injuries and I am working on what works best for me for exercise. Maybe this is a sill question but is bodyweight training considered strength training? (IE Pushups, lunges, calf raises etc). I need to just make sure because I'm concerned about overdoing it with the strength (which…

It would be extra helpful if they were more vegtable based as I am really bad at eating my veggies. Also, I need minmal carbs and fat. (Don't worry I have a healthy mix of that, but I'm looking for…

Calories and Activity???
How many calories does the website have alotted for you and how active are you? I'm just wondering because I worry that mine may be too much, however I have an active job and I work out. I'm getting about 2500 calories I tend to come in about 200-300 below (sometimes over, we're all human). I have been losing about 1 lb a…

Binging...
Binging has always been my major problem...I get stressed out and I eat. Of course this inevitably leads to the whole "you need to find new ways to deal" speach but no matter what, sometimes you go crashing back. It's a real addiction, I can feel myself fighting it and yet I still inevitably give in because if I don't I…

Supplements and vitamins.
How do people feel about these? What do you take? Do you need to? I currently (for reasons not relating to weight loss) take a Women's One a Day, Omega-3, Calcium and Mag sup, and I intermittantly take iron (mostly when needed like around my period). But there is so much "stuff" on the market, I'm just curious as to…
