Aww, a newcomer. That's awesome. Welcome and good luck!

Do NASCAR drivers consider themselves athletes?

"Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday Today it is Friday, Friday (Partyin') We-we-we so excited We so excited We gonna have a ball today Tomorrow is Saturday And Sunday comes after... wards" Haha. I couldn't help it. Worst song ever and it still cracks me up.

I've heard of something that doesn't count outside your area code, but it definitely wasn't calories...

You guys aren't really nerd-fighting until the pocket protectors come off and someone starts yelling "Lightning bolt!" (How's that for cliché? :p )

Hmmm. You haven't been at it long, so I'd recommend waiting a bit. Maybe you're just bulking since you were previously eating so low. Strange about no weight change, though. Sorry, I'm no help. Best wishes.

I wonder if people think that girls who only do lower-body are just as bad as guys who only do upper body or if that's a double-standard. Also, I'm wondering how to correctly use the term 'double-standard'...

Yes, because he reminds me of Ash from Evil Dead (or Army of Darkness). I'll admit I didn't read his whole profile though. He seems thorough.

wanted to be the favourite...

That sounds like a terrible boss. In my previous profession, I was raised to believe that if you can't plan for and around something that happens at roughly the same time every single day, like lunch, then you have problems.

Have a great lunch!

I bet there are some cool people that already go to your gym. Might be easier to find a workout partner there. Also, probably a little less weird that way.

Lol. Well, I don't mean to discourage the high-volume posters. Especially you, whom I fear and respect :)

No, I see her point, though. The chit-chat forum is by far the most entertaining and I look forward to reading and participating in some interesting conversations, but I also can't help but get a little bored/burned out from seeing the same postmongers dominating threads.

I still crack up when I Rick-roll myself on various playlists.

Awesome work! Congrats!

I read on the news today that some people on Twitter were expressing their displeasure about something. Jk, obviously, but that's one reason I've been avoiding getting on there. Just seems like a bunch of whiners.

I read this as 171 lbs and when I saw your picture, I was like "Whaaaat?" Congrats on your progress. That's awesome!

Hey, that's awesome! Way to go!

When someone writes "Have a great week!" on my wall, I can't help but think that they don't want me to talk to them again until next week.

I might need to record myself for a day to figure this out. I'm a little worried it's something vain, like "Ha! Damn, I'm good"

Some pretty good suggestions so far. I'd be even more impressed if some kind of light bulb nerd actually got on here and said something serious like suggesting the "Philips 40W 48in T12 Daylight White Fluorescent tube" or something. Cube.

If you're in a pretty good mood, try Requiem for a Dream. That'll even you out.

I'd give it some more time. Sounds like you're on the right track. I'd be surprised if you don't start seeing results within the month. You got this!

Secret message ;)

Nailed it! Good progress, there.

Lol. There sure are a lot of Megans and they're always amazing.

I was going to say something similar. I'm glad it's not just insecure people who compare themselves to others. I think I'm probably ridiculous in my justifications though. Like "Sure, he's bigger and stronger but I'm probably a better runner" or "Man, that guys really moving but I bet I'm better at... I don't know, video…

Lol. Awesome! So this is what the banana thread has been about.

Hmmm. I don't think so. The intervals are supposed to be really high and then low, repeating. You're burning calories either way, so you still win.
