Oh OK, sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. :thumb: Just goes to show how sensitive I am! :nanner:

Buffy's not a big girl - She's 5'9" and around 150, in fact, the same size as I am, and I don't know about her but I'm definitely slim, and wear a size six. If you call her a 'big girl' she's going to go back to her original plan or worse. I hate that we live in a world where 5'9", 150...

:eek: I found out today that I somehow managed to pull my groin. My PT has forbidden me to run/bike and lift weights with my lower body for 4 weeks. I've been lifting heavy weights and running 5 miles a day in preparation for a marathon. I'd like to find out - how much damage am I going to...

naw that's just what makes you the expert! :thumb:

Jodi to the rescue! raw. Thanks!

In the BFFM eating charts in the back of the book, it's listed as 198 cals, but on the purdue package and on Fitday its around 100-120 calories. Or, is the BFFM guy giving calorie counts with the skin on? Sorry to take up your time with the random question but it's been bothering me and I'd...

Jodi - WHEW! Thanks for the thumbs up on the protein intake. Jodi and Mudge and NCgirl - thanks for all the great info, it sets my mind at ease. NCGirl - Thanks for the compliment!! The legs are definitely the best part of the body, but they (like everywhere else) need a bit of work. I'm...

NCGirl - Thanks so much for the correction!!!!!! I admire your physique and since we're similar heights and were at similar starting points, I just wanted to make sure that I'm going in the right direction (i.e. where you are now!). Jodi and LAM - thanks for the protein info. It's OK w/ me if...

And another question about calories A couple of weeks ago, when I posted my diet, I was told to increase my calories (which I have, from 1100 to 1450 or so.) But, I looked at one of the journals of one of my advice givers, NcGirl (who by the way looks fantastic and this is in no way meant to...

Hi all: I have read on some nutrition and weightlifting websites that whenever you take in more protein than your body can use, the protein turns into bodyfat. WHen I first read this I thought it was ridiculous and then of course I started worrying. I'm currently following a BFL/Burn the Fat...

I'm 5' 9" and 150 pounds. Today I ran 4 miles, and stuck to the menu, but did not properly space 2 of my meals b/c I was at Fenway watching my boys (too bad Ortiz couldn't pull off a homer at the bottom of the 9th!)

Oh, and I will report the results of my weigh ins and BF measurements the day I take them.

I have, with advice from this board, developed an eating and exercise program that I have pledged to follow with NO variation for the next 9 weeks, from Saturday May 29th to Saturday August 21st. I will weigh in every Saturday, starting June 5th, and get bodyfat tested every other week...

Thank you all so much for your responses! Sorry I've been MIA, I'm a lawyer and have been chained to my office for the last few days. So, it seems that while some find the diet to be fine, the general consensus is that there are too few calories. I have to tell you, that makes me really...

Thank you all for taking the time writing such thoughful replies (again), I appreciate all the words of advice!! I'm going to add 1/4 c. lentils to 2 of my 3 chicken meals and take it down to 2 myoplex shakes, and in its place add 1/2 cottage cheese and 6 egg whites. I think that makes the...

Hey JLB - Thanks for the reply. Yup, my carbs come primarily from the Myoplex lite. I'd like to add in some oats, but I have a really hard time controlling my eating behavior once I have a couple bites of oats and splenda - in the past I have tended to binge on them so I'm avoiding them for...

Thanks for the reply Vale - I do the protein shake thing because I'm at work all the time and it's easier (and satisfies my occasional craving for something that resembles sweetness.)

Akateros - Thanks for your reply - I appreciate it. I read on John Hussman's fitness site by using his BMR calculator that my caloric range for weight loss is between 1120 and 1410. And, he goes on to say that the upper limits of that range are no 'excuse' to increase calories, that if I'm...

Hi All - I am relatively new to all this, but have been working out really hard (jog 5 miles every other day, lifting 12-10-8-6 to muscle failure) and been eating the same thing every day (posted below - I know, it sounds boring, but it is easier for me to stick to if I eat the same exact...
