Yeah, I mean, a quick "hi." is ok. Or even "how's it goin" (you know, the rhetorical one). But if it goes beyond that, I'm just like "dude...really?"

The 2 urinals at work are only separated by a shoulder-high divider. I'm not even worried about peeking/glancing. It's just that if someone is talking to me that I don't know while I'm trying to do that, I just can't relax enough to go.

I agree with this. I am personal enough with my coworkers that a little talk is ok (it's kind of like a water cooler, i guess). But yeah, strangers bug the crap outta me.

I'm currently weighing in at 345. My goal is 215-225. I am currently around 34% BF, I would like to get that down to 12-15%.

heck yeah, I'm always up for new friends

Yeah, I love Dead lifts. Did those this morning, and really hit you

Yeah, or a big ol glass of Anne Rice's tears.

You say it's not your calories. If that is true, are you allotting enough of your calories to fat and protein. What are your carbs like? Are the nutrient dense and high in fiber? Those are some things I would check.

The resistance is strong. :wink:

Kind of. I mean. I'm only speaking from my point of view, and how I would feel if my mom asked me to do this. But it would feel like you were trying to control me. You know this better than I do, but teenagers, especially boys, don't want to be controlled. I would wait until the conversation came up naturally (don't try to…

Dude...give yourself some rest. That's a lot of running in a short amount of time, and judging by your profile pic, you aren't built like a typical long distance runner. You have more the "sprinter" look to you. I would take a day or two more rest between your runs and see what happens.

I confess that I have spent my day on this website. You folks are WAY more interesting the people I work with.

Been on the roller coaster my whole adult life. Finally 3 months ago, I stepped off and started following a more reasonable/sustainable diet, and working out. I've lost 14 lbs (ALL FAT), and I've never felt more excited about what I will look/feel like after I do this for an entire year.

I used to be this way. But I learned that if you come across as unbreakable, people, for whatever reason will do their damndest to prove you wrong.

I agree with you 100%. We all sin, so calling someone on their sin is both pointless and redundant. Just for the record, I don't use that phrase. I was just trying to help explain why it is used. Even as a Christian, I find the phrase to be borderline cringe-worthy. But again, I was just trying to help explain the…

There's an idea. Look around for a "cool" fitness/sports camp that he can attend. He will think you are sending him so that he can become a better athlete, but once he gets there and sees some of the other boys/girls habits, maybe he will pick something up.

My knees bother me too at times. One thing that helps alleviate that is making sure that I keep the majority of the pressure toward the back half of my foot (pushing through the heels) all the way through the movement. If the your weight starts moving out toward your toes, it's puts a lot of pressure on the maniscus and…

In a horrible blanket suffocation incident.

I have to stick with back squats. Front squats are HELL on my wrists.

100% true. Haven't looked at porn since. But, to be honest, it's rare that she's not in the mood. The whole thing was a very cool experience. She really got into it, which made it more fun.

I'm an amateur photographer. My wife actually did a complete photo shoot just for this very reason. I took the photos and did all the editing. She did it for the very reason that she didn't like me looking at porn. So, if the situation "arose" I would have her pictures to take care of things. Works like a charm. And I will…

she's lion.

We were stealing the plastic covers off of concrete pylons in front of Wal Mart

You generally only here this in reference to gay people because right now that is the social issue of our time. I feel the same about all sin. That's doesn't mean that I'm infallible. But to answer your question, Do you know how many of the people you love today have done things to dishonor their father and mother? Do you…

Me too. I always felt like a cat-burglar late at night trying to sneak in to get a snack. It's funny, because now that I'm 35 with my own house, a wife, and 3 kids, I still feel that feeling in the pit of my stomach when I go to the kitchen looking for a snack. I really wish my folks would have been nutritionally educated…

pretty much all of this.

One other thing. Does he date? They say there is no greater influence than the opposite sex. Maybe if he started dating, he would make the decision on his own so that he "looks" better to girls.

I know he has reached the age where hanging out with mom and dad isn't considered "cool", but there may be some kind of physical activity that all of you could do together, just to add a little more exercise into his life. Just a thought.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to tell my primary care physician that YOU said he should be on the lookout for health problems. And even though I may be "morbidly obese," I am probably in better cardiovascular condition than 50% of the population. My point was that just because the kid is a little overweight,…

My first advice is to set goals for yourself that don't require you to be "perfect" for a four month period. Losing 40 pounds over 4 months, especially since you aren't really at too high of a weight, is going to force you to do things that may not be good for you. Let me elaborate, just so I don't come across like a…
