Protein?
Earth worms are 82% protein. Just one has the protein of a large egg. Idw to hear anyone complaining about not being able to reach their protein goals again. Plus they only have about 25 calories. Looks like birds are on to something. Eat up!

Spinach and cats
My cat loves spinach. He knows when I'm making a salad and comes bounding into the kitchen. He'll reach up to my plate and try to steal leaves and begs until I share. He hates lettuce. Why would he like one and not the other? Is this indicative of some sort of deficiency in his diet? Is this safe? On the plus side, he's…

I need friends!!!
Fit bit's website is sadly lacking in any convenient way to make friends, and their forum is a disaster. Anyone want to add me? http://www.fitbit.com/user/247TQS

What's your favorite part of you?
I see a good deal of body hatin' going on here..."I have thunder thighs" "I wish I had a thigh gap" "My arms are jiggly" "My boobs are too big." Whatever it is, it's kinda rampant. Yes, I understand most of us are here to change something, so i "get" these comments. But what I want to know, what do you love? What part of…

Am I essentially in the slowest cut EvAH?
Disclaimer: I'm cool with what's going on. I just don't know if I UNDERSTAND it, and I would like to. I put my information in the intake question format just because I figured it would be easier to go through that way. I am not looking to change my intake, nor am I unhappy with my results. I just don't get it. 1) What's…

Culking?
Been trying to find an in depth discussion/explanation of what Aragon was getting at with his culking idea. I've searched and read pretty much all I could find on the topic (which didn't go much further than rehashing the few paragraphs where Aragon first brought it up in an interview, followed by a not very enlightening…

Protein?
Someone's sure to think this is a stupid question, but whatever. I'm asking anyway. I'm out of protein supplement. I'm broke and won't have more anytime soon. That said, meat selection at home is also slim pickins. What's the best, cheapest, food source of protein I could choose? Hoping you all have some ideas I've…

Long distance transition
What were some techniques you all used to move into legitimate long distances? How did you progress from a 5k to a 10 k? A 10 k to a half? I run 10 -12 miles through 2 or 3 sessions a week. A 5 mile run is not a problem for me to complete, which leads me to believe I could *probably* move a little bit further, but I have…

Apps for decreasing mile splits?
I've been running again for about 5 months and have had little progress with increasing my speed/decreasing my time. I run 10-12 miles a week minimum with one long (4 or 5 mile) run a week. I'm looking for something C to 5k ish that focuses on speed. Any suggestions?

Side Dominance- Seriously visible assymmetry
So I've always been a little bigger on my left side, as was evidenced when it became apparent that I really needed a bra with two different cup sizes. (Sorry, no pictures. :( ) it never occurred to me when I was a soft slob that this would carry through to the rest of my body, but now I'm finding.... My left side is kind…

This is what 24 pounds can look like.
I see a lot of people on here who are stuck on the numbers on the scale- who only see the measure of their success by pounds. I can't say that I was any different. When I started this, i really just wanted to be able to say that I weighed 140 lbs. My goals have changed, and now I don't really care if I weigh 140 or 160.…

Did your band size go up after lifting?
So....time to get new clothes. And underclothes. LOL. my 36 Ds are falling off. As in, I have to wear a sports bra over top of them to keep everything in and on and well, it's about that time. I've been lifting lazily for a year or more. But now I've really committed to lifting and I'm wondering, how many of you…

Lifters- Do you Fast?
I've been reading about intermittent fasting, and have (occasionally over the last few months) done a 24 hour fast. However, I love love love to eat. lol. So it's a hard thing for me to commit to. Anyway- do you fast? What protocol do you follow? Do you do a 24 hour fast or an x hour fast with an x hour eating window? How…

Best HRM/interval timer, etc
I want a heart rate monitor. That's a pedometer. That has an interval timer. That counts calories, steps...measuring sleep would be cool but not necessary. What's the best all in one out there? Everything I look at seems to lack SOMETHING I want. Had my heart set on a fit bit but they don't seem to have timers....

As my arms and calves grow, I'm noticing the beginnings of stretch marks and am so bummed out. Any advice on how to prevent this?

My boyfriend thinks he's a comedian
My boyfriend just said "Since you've been working out, everything- your arms, your shoulders- is getting bigger except your boobs. They shrunk. I'm getting cheated here. " What are some knee slappers you've gotten about your fitness goals?

2nd day, looking for friends
Hi all, I've become a little bit of an exercise addict through my health journey and I'm looking for people who are pushers, who like to try new things and are up for a little bit of give and take. I'm no expert for sure and it's a different journey for us all, but I'm willing to give and take advice...when it comes to…
