Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 248)

Originally posted by JJ- Great replies and info from everyone, Too many replies to quote each one: Calories In vs Calories Out While I do believe this is true it was my stumbling block for 10 years and I won't go back to it. I struggled with my weight for 10 years while counting every calorie I put into my body. My problem became not so much total number of calories but what they came from (I'm gonna drink 1500 calories of beer and skip dinner tonight). 2 years ago in November I quit counting calories and lost over 70 pounds.

THANKFUCKINGODIT'SFRIDAY!!!! 

I wore wellies this morning to work as it was raining all night and the weather people that live in my phone said that it was going to be thunderstorming all day, so packed "regular" shoes in my bag to wear once I got to work and I'm now wearing my pink rubber gym flip flops as I grabbed 2 completely different shoes.

I'm going to get more coffee.

I don't actually count calories either, but do have a general sense of what various foods contain.

Fairly recent peer-reviewed studies and reviews actually involving endurance athletes, in decent journals. The two major variables affecting protein needs were training load (volume + intensity) and gender. That said, the number ranges I quoted were very safe, so to speak ... even high-load endurance athletes not training or performing at the elite level tended to do fine at 1.0g/kg (female) and 1.2g/kg (male).

There actually aren't gazillions of well-vetted studies/reviews out there so guaranteed you can find them with a pretty quick academic database search.

Ha!  You just made my day realizing that I'm not alone in being a dunderhead some days.  Even worse is they're not even close... one's a gold wedge sandal and one is a black flat.  How did I DO that???

Here Mon, this might make you feel better.

This morning I was trying to decide what to wear, and grabbed a skirt from the dryer.  When I took the skirt out it was pretty wrinkled, and I went to shake/snap it out to see how bad the wrinkles were as Mama doesn't iron.  Well, I was, um, naked, and gave the skirt a firm snap and the drawstring--yep, SNAP!--right there. 

FACH ME THAT HURT!

I lost 30# counting calories in my pre-tri days. I think that, as most will agree, weight loss is very individual and each person has to figure out for themselves what works.

Ohhhh FACH ME!  (and yet snerking at the same time) 

Ironing doesn't happen in this household either (at least it doesn't happen by me) so I've done the 'grab straight out of the dryer and go to zip the skirt up only to find out it's faching 100* and burnt myself' thing. 

There's also days that I just don't corner well (like today) and seem to hit my shoulder on the wall every d@mn time I turn a corner.  Yep, I'm that awesome.

OK, guys, don't make fun of the new kid--what's a "snerk"?
