Thank you everybody, I really do appreciate all the support I get here on MFP. Couldn't do this without you folks!

After a long conversation with my DM, I have been informed that I have leveled up. Now a 34th level bard!

Once per week, every Sunday right after I wake up. Doing it more than this has some bad side effects: 1. Your weight goes up and down all the time throughout the day, so weighing in daily can give you misleading info. 2. Over a week period you are getting a more realistic sign of the progress you are making. It is pushing…

That is awesome, I appreciate the inspiration!

Once per week. Every Sunday morning right after I wake up.

If you ever come to Texas feel free to call me :)

That is a very good idea, I find that when I exercise regularly, my hunger cravings are much less, and my self esteem is much increased, which makes everything easier. Also I wanted to say that I love your profile, I always appreciate a good sense of humor.

If it helps you... I was very shy for a long time. I started taking jobs that FORCED me to interact with as many people as possible. I have been a bartender, waiter, deliverer (still am), I even bartended in a strip club (no, I don't recommend it). There is nothing like working for tips to teach you how to talk with people…

Hiyya! Just wanted to say I like what you are doing, I appreciate anyone who can work that hard! I find it very motivating. Anyone here can feel free to add me, I don't turn anyone away.

Hi Rachel, I'm Brian, I'm 44 and also returned to college recently, It is tough juggling school, work, and workouts! Either way, feel free to add me if you would like.

You may not feel the difference is much, but it is a *noticeable* difference, and you should be proud.

I have to say that having a cheat day once a week has seemed to help me a lot. I have been eating healthy and working out for about 6 months now, and have not plateaued yet. (keeping my fingers crossed). But , I do not go crazy with it, and just pig out for a whole day. I basically allow myself one or two cheat meals, and…

I work in a Pizza store, so I understand the temptation problem.... The way I handle this is through several things... 1. I eat a meal every three hours, this is better for fat loss, and also, it helps you not be so hungry all the time. Most of my meals are around 400 - 500 calories. 2. Eat a very big breakfast. Mine is…

Funny, it is the cardio that kills me, especially the circuit 1 cardio (jumping jacks alternating with jump ropes). The strength circuits always seem a bit too easy for me, the only problem I have doing those is that I am usually still catching my breath from the cardio. The abs circuits are relatively easy. I have just…

The best advice I can offer is this, when you finish a workout, you have to let yourself know that it was good. The more you tell yourself you look good, the more you will believe it. Good health is probably about 75% mental attitude. Do you feel silly sometimes, sure, but so what, I do my exercises wearing nothing but a…

I don't really get nausea, sometimes headaches if I play too long... but what does happen to me, is that if I play an FPS for a really long time, especially one that is fast moving. Later when I go to bed, I can still see the scenery moving past from the game when my eyes are closed, this has lasted hours sometimes.

Level 23 Bard, we do a little of everything.

I found it helped me to do the eat smaller meals more often method. This helps keep your metabolism up, and hunger cravings down. Currently I eat a small (400-500 calorie) meal every three hours.
-
Man, that is awesome, and inspirational !
-
Well, the truth is, while I do prepare my food ahead, I eat pretty much the same thing every day, so I don't have to give it much thought. The advantage to this is that I have gotten preparing those particular meals down to a science, I can make 4 or 5 meals in about 15 to 20 minutes. Now you might think... No I don't want…

If you haven't seen "They Live" it is an absolute must...

Thank you for posting this, although I am not as tall as you, your experience very much echoes my own. So I find this very encouraging. I'm going on 6 months now, and learning to control my portion sizes was by far the most important lesson for me as well. I still love those cheeseburgers, but no more sodas, and no more…

I don't know about ridiculous, but I loved it when playing the original Duke Nukem, if you walked up to a Duke Nukem pinball machine, and tried to use it, Duke would say "I ain't got time to play with myself".

The game I played the longest (2 years in leagues) was the original Team Fortress (the one that was a mod of quake 1). I also love the Total War series, the original Medivel Total War was my favorite. Half-Life 2 is another favorite, ooooooh and Portal!
-
I only work about 40 hours a week (nights), but I also go to college in the daytime, so I understand the difficulty. What I do, is I precook all my meals for the day right after I wake up. I purposely make meals that are easy to eat with one hand, while driving. (I am a pizza deliverer). I eat every three hours, usually…
-
Actually there used to be a really great mod for quake 2 called battle of the sexes, kind of a team fortress style game.

I'm considering it, Guild Wars was one of the very few MMO's I enjoyed.

Looks like it should be fun, I would like to sign up.

I empathize with you completely, I work at a Pizza Hut, I have to fight the temptation of the wings every day.
