    OK so the women are spying on us. I have a question then. On some of these weight loss ad's they show a before and after. I personally have no problem with the lady in the before pictures. I am not perfection and dont expect perfection. I am not all the turned on by the super models. I like some curves to my woman.

    Just my opinion.

    Man I used to work at a place that had a small gym in the basement with showers and stuff. It was just touigh to do it alone. Even when I had someone else down there it was awkward.


    So you gotta do somethign that you enjoy. I enjoy P-90-X, but I REALLY enjoy MMA. Boxing, Thai Boxing, Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu.....it is just fun. Yes yes...when you lose it is dissapointing, but how do you learn if you don't tap.

    If you search around the boards, I typed up this long *kitten* thread about my life and what I have been through over the past 4 years. The title was like "Self Motiviation" or something like that.

    Anyways, read that. it is a good example of motivating yourself to do what it takes to make you happy with you....

    OK, so I admit, I was "spying" guys, but I am jumping into give some additional info for anyone who actually wants to FIND operator's post. It was very good, but it was NOT titled "self- motiavation (sp)" so searching for that won't get you the right result. The title is actually "A motivational story-kinda"

    Here is a link to it: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/78537-a-motivational-story-kinda

    BTW, since many of you have recently joined MFP, want to be sure you know, anytime you want to look at a particular person's posts, from most recent on back, all you have to do is click on the number that appears below their avatar in any post. This will work for looking at your own posts too.

    Best of luck to all of you.

    BTW FORKDOWN--your shower joke made me smile :wink:

    Ok, I am leaving now, so you can get back to that male bonding thing guys. :bigsmile:

    Way to go guys, keep up the good work.

    I was wondering if anyone else works the third shift. I am on steady midnights and am having trouble tracking my food. I have been tracking everything on a 24 hour basis, midnight to midnight. My food diary looks crazy but I am staying under my calories, having a hard time getting my workouts in though. Any suggestions about how I should log my food or just keep doing what I am doing

    I know what you mean about this. I rotate shifts every week. 7a-3p, 3p-11p and 11p-7a. I have found out that I have to get really creative with my eating schedule and working out. I just log it as I go. When I am on midnights (11p-7a) I stop eating around 3 or 4 in the morning. Then my day pretty much starts when I wake up at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. It is crazy, but as long as I keep logging everything it keeps me going. keep up what you are doing.

    Holy shnikes..............that, guys is tough as tough can be. It is toughr than any P-90-X workout. You want to burn a "s" load of caloires in 30 minutes...Bas' ten/two minute rounds.

    This is my first post on this thread. I went back a bit to see where the conversation was. To tell the truth, I kinda got worried when I saw so much conversation devoted to a bunch of naked men. :huh:

    But I figure it must not be too bad.

    I'll admit I was getting a little nervous as well.

    I really don't think any of us are ready to be parading around naked anytime soon. But here at the Man to Man Forum, we can feel free to cut-up, joke around, and just have a good time...It's kinda what guys like to do. :drinker:

    I'm in too! I signed up for a volleyball class at a local community college. Never taken a Volleyball class before. Just had our first day last week. dude, soooooo much fun!!! and a good work out. It's a 1 unit class so it came out to $50.00 for the whole semester! that's 4 months of volleyball! I highly suggest anyone take a PE class.

    I talked to my wife about C25K the other day. I thought I would have to drag her into it, but she seems excited about the prospect of doing it. But we will be waiting until spring.

    That is true. My wife is an awesome support group. :love: Although she was kinda grumpy this morning when I showed her the results of my weigh in this morning. :grumble: She has been on a plataeu. I looked at her and asked if she had to lose 100+ lbs. She said "No... I'm proud of you." :indifferent: But she didn't seem overly enthusiastic! :laugh:

    I tried out the C25K this week and was impressed. I am going to stick with it and my wife is thinking of starting it also. Does any have the ipod app for this. I was looking for one but am not sure which one to get I would like one that lets me use my own music and let me know when to jog and when to walk.
