Re: Weight Watchers goes Paleo?!
I went to one WW meeting a few years back to scope it out, and I came away shaking my head in bewilderment. Overall impression: A bunch of chubby (or fat) people sitting around talking about how...

Re: Yes. I'm Calorie Counting (OH NO!!!!)

That's inspiring! I was a size 34 in high school and I often wonder if I could ever get back there again.
I've heard myfitnesspal is also a great calorie counting app as well.
Well...

Re: Diet and Fat Loss
I second that. Whole grains will get me feeling full in a hurry, but the feeling does not last long and in short order I'll be hungry again.
Meat. It's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. ...

Re: Cut 7 minutes off my marathon time...
Honestly I have no desire to be so thick with muscle that my BMI would put me in the obese range even with a low BFP. I've got no desire to be Hulk Hogan. What I'm striving for is the classic...

Re: Cut 7 minutes off my marathon time...
True. True. I'm way too early into all of this to be any sort of expert, but so far I'd say that a healthy balance of LSD + HIIT seems to be a good way to go.
