Besides bullets whizzing by my head in the infantry, uh, probably making citizen's arrest on those that stole my wife's car. ... no, maybe being an ice road trucker for a while hauling gasoline (2 of 8 in our refinery died the last year I was there)... no, blowing up the dumpster down the street at 8 years old... no, now I…

Normally, I like them; but, it all depends on where and what.

Ah, done that, too. Gave me a headache from hell! But, it was so worth it!

The title of the thread is .... well, I guess it might be news to you that black people exercise. You might be surprised to find people of all colors and nationalities exercise.

Pop Tarts, Red Bull, coffee, and Starbucks. Gotta have money for new clothes if this plan works, right?

I bought a second refridgerator even though there was nothing wrong with the first...... Ah, then we got another one, too, and I used the fact that we have 3 kids as an excuse... I had to have one stocked full of drinks in the garage, right?

Hummmm.... why would the sexual orientation be a prerequisite for a workout parter? Nevermind, I am going plug my ears and yell, "lalalalalalalalalalaLA! I can't hear you!" I do not want to know the answer.

Welcome. I hope this helps you increase the quality of your life.

I once was an elite soldier. I guess you always are, if you are once one, but I am getting back in shape, now. I got injured, lost friends, got depressed, gained weight, and, now, I might be able to jog a mile. I broke, and I needed repair, and I am repairing. I am coming back. I made a decision to make a comeback for good…

I am on the journey, too, as are so many people. I keep telling myself, "Do Something Today that Your Tomorrow's Self Will Thank You For!" 6 days a week, I am in the gym. Everyday, I am counting my calories, carbs, protein, and fats. It's working. I lose a pound, smile, and repeat. As long as you don't quit, your…

A pound is a pound.

Definitely see the doc. Ease into training.

Yikes! Share your food with him. I would think he needs a doctor. That is way too thin.

Get two scales, put one foot on each, sum the amounts, divide by two and keep an average. Just kidding. It could be the batterie.

Great job! I know how hard it is to build up to being a runner. You are definitely a runner. My shins used to hurt so bad. I used to powerlift before the Army; then, I had to incorporate running. I could only make it a 100 yards at first. Everyday, I would push myself to go further. A couple of years later I had finished…

Great job!

Lose 1 lbs. Smile. Repeat until goal is reached.

Last night, I just ran in a pool lane. I got my heart up pretty good. Not a lot of pounding and worked my quads good running backwards.

Hold our breath as long as you can, and think how bad you want to take in some air. You have to want to reach those fitness goals just as bad. Either go eat some milk and cookies and enjoy them, or get out every morning and walk or run towards your goals. Keep your calories down and eat enough to have energy for daily…

Will do. 100% rest on 7th day. Drink water to stay hydrated.

Thanks for the tips and the additional thoughts.

Yeah, attention sucks so you better get fat, again. Got any money?

If your goal is losing weight and, after a while, the scale never moves or moves up, probably want to cut back on calories a little. Try eating your exercise calories for a week and see what your scale tells you.

My doc perscribed that to me. Phentermine and topamax. I won't take it. Says it might make you depressed. Eating so much protein has helped me curb my appetite.

Protein.

Exercised and made up for the calories burned and then some... drink more water.

Very well. I am ready. I have read the links, and from the feedback on the other threads and here, I thank you. Let's rock'n roll!

You'll do it. I am just starting out, too - a month into it.

My favorite post of the day. This one had me laughing.
