Obesity and exercise in Hobbies & Leisure ·
In my view, we can't just group all overweight individuals into one bucket; you really need to tailor the approach to the specific person involved.

For instance, there is a massive difference between someone weighing 185 lbs hitting the gym and someone weighing 300 lbs doing the same thing.
The first person might actually be able to go out for a run, whereas the second one absolutely should not.

I might be completely missing the point of what you two are arguing about here, but I honestly think the first step should always be assessing an individual's actual capabilities—maybe some sort of endurance test or whatever—and, obviously, checking their medical results (ha! as if anyone actually does that).

To give you a real-world example, I was at this local gym recently and I saw a woman weighing about 265 lbs attempting an advanced step aerobics class.

To me, that makes zero sense whatsoever.
Can you build muscle without working out? in Hobbies & Leisure ·
Geez, even I wouldn't be that dense 😂

Personally, I think I should probably bulk up to at least 175 lbs. I don't want to get too soft, though. Any advice?

From what I could gather reading your other thread, you're basically perfect—like, a gift to women from the heavens themselves🤣

Honestly, you don't need anything. Just existing is enough.

Good grief.🤦

Could Carol Ortiz9 swap this out for me?
Or honestly, any variation on this theme would work, as long as we get rid of this specific unit.

No, it's taken.

Best protein powders for muscle gain? in Hobbies & Leisure ·
Elizabeth Gomez3 said:exactly my point... I've tried various brands, all sorts of flavors... and they were all pretty good 😁

Carol Ortiz9 - you can check out the prices right here,

A 30g serving (one shake) is about 128kcal... packed with protein... and honestly, that's the whole reason people drink it in the first place 😉

I'll look around locally, but if the prices are sky-high, I'm passing

Is that whey protein actually overpriced? And does it just make you put on fat?

What kind of trouble? 😕

I'll just have one omelet without any bread, maybe some veggies... I don't think it'll cause any major issues.😉>

Personally, I have quite a high opinion of marinated chicken fillets. 😁

But what about breaded ones?

I am asking seriously 🙂

What’s everyone’s take on marinated chicken fillets?

I have no clue what to make for lunch, just looking for something high in protein.

Is it possible to change my username from Carol Ortiz9 to just Carol?

Thanks 🙂

No, that nickname isn't available.

Huh... you know, after an absolutely brutal workout, a person just gets this surge of insane courage... like... hey:

There it is... go ahead, take your best shot... I'm ready.
Is anyone even out there???

So, here’s the situation... I just had my blood work done this past Friday. I'm currently five months pregnant, so naturally, I'm obsessing over these results. My doctor at Mayo Clinic sent me back for more testing because my CRP was elevated last time—it was sitting at 15.5—but it's dropped down to 4.5 now. That part is fine, I suppose. But it's these specific numbers that have me completely spiraling:
WBC 11,7H
RBC 4,31
HGB 124
HCT 34,3L
MCV79,6L
MCH28,8
MCHC 362
PLT 221
LY 14,5L
MO 2,3
GR83,2H
RDW 16,7X
PCT 0,17
MPV 7,9
PDW 18,3H

ARE THESE NUMBERS EVEN NORMAL???
