Well I wouldn't follow a schedule like starbunny suggested. To be honest, colleges are more likely to accept students with less than a 4.0 but were involved with sports, extracurriculars, jobs, volunteer work, etc something that showed they had a life. As long as you take good classes (try AP, you WONT regret it I would fail at college without knowledge about writing essays and the work ethic) it's not that big of a deal as long as you make As and Bs (the occasional C won't kill you either if its a hard class). I got a 3.5 weighted and was accepted to every public school in my state and a couple good out of state ones (with a scholarship) while playing varsity sports, editor on the newspaper, volunteering, and marching band. My school had 16 valedictorians, none of them actually got to have a speech. All I know is that high school is the time of LESS stress, COLLEGE is when the stress begins.

So why start stressing in high school, or middle school for that matter??

well

naked people + ungroomed + bench (could)

Soy protein doesn't do as much as whey does in building muscles I believe, since whey is the athlete's protein of choice. Soy is the vegans/vegetarians protein of choice when you just need to get that extra protein in your body. I imagine hemp is like that too.

I have had egg protein powder before and it tends to be less caloric and more protein dense than whey. Well I use the trader darwin's egg and milk protein so it is not for the lactose intolerant. It has 100 calories (for 2 scoops), 23 grams of protein and 65 mg sodium. It also has a ton of vitamins and stuff. I'm going to go check out the rating of it. I have used their chocolate whey powder before and its more calories and about the same with protein. I'm sure there are better ones though, I'm not the guru of powders. They had a link at bodybuilding.com about them and I'll try to go find it.

that would be awkward, I had a teacher in middle school (PE) who would get completely naked and take a shower while everyone else showered in a swimsuit. And she would try and have conversations with a bunch of 12-13 year old girls and SHE didn't shave and I still remember that today!!!!

Wrong.

 How did this women not get sued or fired for indecent exposure! Isnt this inappropriate behaviour in a school setting???

 Well that was when I went to a private school...lol they dont have to follow the rules.

I usually stick to one beer if I'm just on a social drink type outing, or stick to vodka if I'm out to drink/dance/generally be a drunk. You could do diet coke and vodka, or seltzer and vodka... I usually do straight up or with lemon (Found that that tasted good when I asked for a lemon drop at a bar in Montreal where they thought it was just vodka with a lemon squeezed in it.)  All in all, just as with anything else that's not healthy when trying to lose weight, moderation is key - it's a treat, but there is nothing inherently wrong with it (still trying to decipher the post about how dumb people are to drink alcohol while dieting and they should be drinking wine instead... yeah)

 There is nothing worse than wine snobs :/

Oh geez betsey they dont groom their privates??? ok thats gross

Well most  all of the guys I know and talked to about it would rather eat lead than wear a speedo...because they associate it with being "gay" or they don't like that their junk hangs out. Or they feel like a female since it is so tight. It makes sense for a swimmer to wear it however.

And I know it's harsh but most females I know don't mind guys in speedos...as long as they can pull it off, like Michael Phelps for example :) but the majority of us don't want to see someone 60 with a gut hanging over wearing one.

But then again I don't bother going swimming so I really could care less what you guys wear.

Ummmm what are you trying to accomplish? Gaining weight? Cause unless you're an olympic athlete you WILL gain weight from that much. But you're posting in health and support, so are you underweight and need to gain weight?

Tell us a lil about yourself cause I don't know where you're going with this.

6'9??? I wonder how tall the other players are. I totally thought Serbia was gonna win game three too, I was thinking it would be a game over. But it was a good series. I can't wait to see the one vs Россия on Friday!!!

I thought Chris Daughtry had a lot of hair and wasn't shaved, but maybe im thinking of someone else :/

I actually agree with the OP here and find it funny, I used to go to the gym in the morning or afternoon and since going at night I see a lot of people my age so that hardly happens! I really don't get why it's the older women age group as opposed to the younger ones...I guess we're "prudes", though I change in front of friends or whatever all the time I usually keep underwear on at least, and when I'm at the gym I used to be a hider haha but now I just kind of let it drop, change, and then am out.

When I used to go to the gym when I was younger and there was a sauna, and saw people sitting NAKED in the sauna. Being a young teenager I was pretty judgemental and traumatized by the over-nakedness.

But yeah I agree, no one really wants to see someone bending over the sink painting their toes naked or whatever, lol. (waiting for the males to come prove me wrong on this one)

Ok, well one, you're taking a good step by coming on this website. The people here are motivational so that is good that you want to lose weight.

But your problems....all the excuses. "slow metabolism" "no time to go to the gym" and I'm not saying that I'm a perfect person cause I've made the excuses too, but seriously you WONT lose weight by using excuses. If you REALLY want to lose weight you WILL lose weight. You have to want it and not be complacent with how things are now. All you really need is a treadmill and weights! The fitness moderators on this forum have a bunch of great advice and there are a lot of free resources for weightlifting.

You have to get through this yourself, even with people here who can help you, you have to want help.

You can do it!

Oh man He whatever getting the gold was such crap. I thought Yang Ye lin (sp?) did better than her...and the whole tie-breaker thing was dumb. Plus the judges were mainly from places like South Africa/Canada/New Zealand (wtf) which suck at gymnastics so they don't really know anything to judge. They can't have judges from Russia/Romania/China/US just because of the nationalities of the competitors.

Then again....gymnastics isn't really a "sport" persay cause it's subjective. In any real sport there is a clear winner, this is more like a competition than an actual sport, IMO.

How dare you. What an absolutely vile thing to say. Wouldn't it stand to reason that the countries that judge the most gymnastics would be best at it? What an utterly ridiculous thing to say.  Just because someone hasn't been at an elite level when representing their sport doesn't mean that they don't understand the nuances of the sport. "Not a real sport"? What the hell is wrong with you? Think before you type.

The only issue I have with the Australian judge is that she scored the two performances 0.3 apart. There wasn't more than 0.1 between the two gymnasts maybe 0.2 at a stretch. He's performance was excellent, as was Liukin's; they both made mistakes and both excelled in different areas. They both deserved gold, and if the IOC hadn't abolished tied medals, they both would have won one.

Anyhow enough of this ridiculousness. The real reason I was here...

WOW for the women's 100m hurdles! Australia silver, Canada bronze! What the heck?! I felt so bad for Lolo Jones though, to make a mistake in the most important race of your career must be heartbreaking.

P.S. ann, it took me a second to figure out what you meant about being 3rd on the boards - all the American sites have GB as #5 (and the US #1) because they go on total medal count, not total number of golds.

 No, if you've been watching gymnastics it's obvious that the judges have made pretty "vile" calls and after watching it with a former olympic gymnast (my second cousin), and with commentary by former gymnasts on the news who also agreed with me, gymnastic judging is ridiculous this year. The girl who landed on her KNEES beat out Alicia Sacramone for the bronze. They have given China  wayyy more grace than anyone from Russia/US. They should have a judge from each country who is performing...not just judges from countries who don't have members on the elite level.

Well I feel that gymnastics is more of a competition than a sport. Track doesn't have subjective judging- you win or you lose. Football/basketball, etc are sports. Is ballet a sport, or dance? Doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with gymnastics, I just think of it of more than a dance/performance than a sport. It's just soooo subjective, but calling it a competition is not an insult. Gymnasts and dancers work very hard making it more entertaining to watch than some sports...(mainly soccer :/ boring....)

Seriously though calm down, it's the internet there's no reason to get super angry over a post. I'm not putting down gymnasts, just the judges who suck and make lousy judgements :/

Nothing is wrong with me, it's just a different opinion...something that you should encounter more than once in your lifetime.

I haven't tried these yet, but I will.

Thanks!

It would probably taste like butt...like fake meat usually does :/

I actually haven't been to KFC since....7th grade? I thought they only sold chicken and not burgers

OBAMA IF YOU WANT LOWER TAXES FOR ANYONE WHO MAKES LESS THAN $250000 A YEAR AND HIGHER TAXES FOR ANYONE THAT MAKES MORE THAN THAT. IF YOU WANT SS TO SURVIVE McCAIN WANTS TO PRIVATISE IT. ANYONE THAT WANTS MONEY TO BE SPENT IN THIS COUNTRY ON WINDMILLS AND SOLAR PANELS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR VAST COAL RESOURCES! WHICH CAN BE BURNED CLEANLY WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY. AND WILLMAKE MILLIONS OF JOBS AND MAKE US LESS DEPENDENT ON FORIEGN OIL! ANYONE WHO WANTS AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYBODY. ANY BODY WHO IS SICK OF WHAT THE CRIMINALS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY NOW OUR CONTINUING TO DO! AND WILL DO THE SAME UNDER MCCAIN. ANYONE WHO WANTS THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS BACK AND DONT WANT TO BE LED BY A BUNCH OF BIBLE THUMPERS. ANYONE WITH A BRAIN THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS WHATS GOING  ON!!! IS THAT ENOUGH?? YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP GUESSING ABOUT THIS AND FIND OUT WHERE THESE CANDIDATES STAND , YOU'LL PROBABLY BE SUPPRISED!!  OH I FORGOT PRO-CHOICE AND STEM-CELL RESEARCH!! OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!!

 1. Locate the capslock button + turn it off

2. I will not recieve social security, and my parents probably will not either. Privatizing it is the best way to go, since the tax money that I am paying is now going to people buying vacation home in Tahiti, and I will NEVER see my tax money. If I could spend my tax money and put it into a separate account ensuring that I can obtain the money I spend for it, and every worker does the same, we wouldn't have the problems that we will soon be having after the baby boomers suck the funds dry.

3. Affordable health care does not = good healthcare. Norway, Sweden, etc have great healthcare systems that are socialized. Norway and Sweden also have considerably LESS people than the US. Universal healthcare would be a DISASTER. I have Kaiser Permanente right now, the main medicare/medicaid insurance (my dad's work pays for it, and we used to have a great private practice) and guess how long it takes before I can book an appointment....for MY personal doctor, a month. If it's an emergency 2-3 days. This is how it will be for EVERYONE.

3. McCain is for stem cell research

4. Calling McCain a bible thumper is pretty ignorant...he is not a part of the religious-right, unlike the Bush's. Jeremiah Wright anyone??? At least McCain's pastor isn't a complete nut job...
