I have 700 cals to spend on dinner...
Please give me some ideas on something I can whip up quickly and easily...or better yet, something I can grab from Publix since I have to stop by there after work anyway.

Exercise Is Worse Than Caffeine!
I have not been getting enough sleep lately. I can't seem to close my eyes before 12 sometimes even 1-2am....but it is only on the days I work out! It doesn't seem to matter WHEN I work out. Whether it is before lunch or after dinner or morning. If I work out that day I feel antsy and restless when I should be going to…

It's not a bad workout but....
http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/2014/06/23-minute-lunchtime-workout/ Why does this chick have to be holding what seems to be, at most, 3lb weights? 6lbs is not what I would call a "power squat," and that is coming from someone who couldn't do a single body weight squat 6 months ago.

Stupid Questions About Weight Lifting
I have been over 300lbs for so long that I really don't remember what my muscles are supposed to feel like under my skin. I've started NROLW and after a tough session my biceps are sore, and I can definitely FEEL them. Not, like, the soreness, but with my hands. They muscles feel kinda hard and swollen. This is normal,…

Can Anyone Help Me Maths?
Ok, my can of soup is 524G. A serving size is 252G. The soup is 100 cals per serving. If I ate the whole can, how many calories did I eat? I am really awful at math. I am trying to come up with an equation that will solve this for me. This is what I came up with: 100 / 252 = .4 cals per G So if I ate 524G then the whole…

Why Does It Feel Like Starting Over Every Time?
Sometimes I am forced to go a couple of weeks without riding my bike. When I am riding 3x a week, I notice significant improvements on my stamina and strength, but if I take even a couple of weeks off, when I get on it feels like I'm starting over from square one. Surely I can't lose gains that quickly, right?

Starting Out 300+ - Lose With Weights Not Diet?
I weigh 328 as of today. I've lost 32lbs so far with calorie restriction and exercise. I read stories like this http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ Where a woman gained an amazing body eating 3000-4000 calories a day and power lifting. That sounds SOOOOO much better than…

Leg Help!
So my right leg is weak and my left leg is strong. You can't see the differences because (mercifully?) they are both coated with fat. However, last night I wanted to measure the differences so I got on the leg press machine and it's pretty dramatic. I can push 100+lbs with my left leg and STRUGGLE with 45 on my right. I…

Should I Do It Again?
I posted yesterday about the KILLER DOMs from the last workout with my personal trainer. I only meet with him once a week and workout on my own the rest of the week repeating the same routine we had during our session. I could BARELY MOVE yesterday after the session on Saturday. I am STILL sore. I plan on going to the gym…

Help! DOMs from Hell!
So I made the mistake of telling my personal trainer I wasn't sore after our last workout. He made me do 60 body weight squats - at 328lbs, that is a LOT of weight to squat. I also did 45 squat tosses with a 10lb medicine ball 4 reps of 30second wall sits Other leg stuff. I got a little fuzzy towards the end. By the end of…

Should I go to the gym today?
I had a session with a personal trainer on Saturday which totally kicked my butt. Sunday I went for a 6mi bike ride which wasn't much on distance, but was on a mountain trail with INCREDIBLY difficult hills. Today I am sore, pretty much all over, but not unbearably so. If I want to keep up with the plan the PT created for…

Confused by Vitamins
I have read so many conflicting articles regarding vitamins. Are they good for you? Useless? Which ones should I take? Will they improve my hair, nails, and immune system, or are they an expensive way to pollute our water systems more? Help!

Best Methods for Training on a Bike?
I need to start by saying that I am recovery from a disabling injury. I am as healed as I am going to get and I am working to rebuild atrophied muscle and bone. I got a bike about 6 months ago but have only been biking consistently for the past 2. So far my training method has been to simply get on the bike and make it go.…

My Pointless Soapbox
I just left a thread on a popular social networking site where an opinion was expressed about how fat people should be forced to pay extra any time they use any sort of transportation other than their own cars. There was a lot of supporters, many who expressed their thought that obese people are disgusting, ugly, smelly,…

Would you chop off your own foot so you could run again?
Seems a bit counter-intuitive, right? So, 3 years ago I was in an accident that rearranged the bones in my foot and ensures that I am in pain any time I am standing or walking, that I can only walk short distances, and will never ever run again. Even if I could tolerate the pain, my toes will not bend so I literally just…

Best Breakfast Before An Endurance Ride?
I am going to an attempt a 20 mile bike ride tomorrow, which, for me at my fitness level, is a big deal. My avg pace is about 7mph due to all the massive hills in my area which will make it a 3+ hour ride. What would the best meal be to eat beforehand? Oatmeal? Turkey sausage and cheese? Greek Yogurt and grapes? ((I don't…

Cyclists out there?
I've been thinking a lot about what I will do when I meet my weight-loss goals. One of my goals - to lose 100lbs - will put me at a weight where I think I can trade in my current heavy steel-frame bike for a lighter, faster, aluminium bike. It'll take a year so I have plenty of time to save for it. I want something that is…

Core and Leg Exercises For The Disabled?
I am adding weight lifting to biking(the only cardio other than pool I can manage) but I am struggling to find lifts that I can do with my disability. I don't have a gym membership so I don't have the luxury of machines. I'm a single mom and gyms just aren't an option for me right now. I have to work with what I have,…

I'm pissed off a lot these days
Sometimes it's because I am so fat, and sometimes it's because I want to eat the foods that will keep me fat rather than the healthy things that will help me lose weight. Either way, I'm rather grumpy about the whole thing. I don't feel motivational, inspirational, or particularly helpful. I could use more friends to help…
