More women need to be into we "old (30-something)" guys!!!

Definitely Sisdunbar - English accent, that's celeb enough for me...

"Eye of the beholder." To each his own, and more importantly do YOU like what you see in the mirror. My personal preference is a "fit" woman, not skinny nor chunky. She's still an obvious woman, but has worked hard to become a fit woman at that. Don't worry about muscle, it will take care of itself when you lift and…

I've found a simple direct compliment goes a long way. I'm absolutely into giving honest compliments all the time...in a non-creepy sort of way, if they're deserved. I've told countless women, "hey, I'm not a freak, but I call like I see it - and I couldn't help notice how amazing you look...I respect the hard-work you had…

If you're dropping weight, keep doing what you're doing. But damn, I spent 2 1/2 hours on the bike last night at an average speed of about 17 mph without drafting and barely burnt that many calories - and I weight a relatively lean 192. But, if you're seeing results - you're in the right spot. That is just a tough burn...…

That's appreciated. Like I said, my bet is that you're not a running elitist snob...it's that some of your comments come off that way. I understand your passion for the sport (even though we don't share it), and I think that gives you a different take on things. I respect that, and love that you're up in front of the pack…

They weren't aimed at your comments, and yes there is an important difference between what you quote. The likes of these comments fall closer to the latter than the former: "I can't imagine why anyone would want to run for 5 hours and be miserable for a lot of it. It is a RACE, after all, isn't it? Train for a HM instead."…

FYI, the "elitist snobbery" line from the above post wasn't up as I was typing mine. Funny how such a word choice came from two separate people after reading the posts... Hmmm, maybe some truth to it.

Seriously, you sound like an elitist running snob in your posts. Not saying you are, but that's how it comes across. Just because you can't imagine a 5 hour miserable run being worth it, to MANY people it is. And no, to most people it is not a RACE as you see it. It's a competition with one's self, with no intention of…

Much research says you should take in some simple carbs and proteins post-workout as your body is better at assimilating these nutrients in a window after working out - 30 minutes to an hour. So, they're just getting a small mean in post-workout to make sure their body has what it needs to recover. I personally use a…

Mmmm...triple serving of eggbeaters, one slice of fat free soy cheese with a slice of dry whole wheat bread, steel cut oats, coffee and water. That's what I eat everyday. Boring *kitten* I am.

I've now read all these posts. Run for the hills! Not that any of it's bad advice (well, most of it isn't). But, you're hearing 17 opinions based on people's bodies / fitness / aptitude for running. Again, all good people - but based on their views. Go buy a book on marathon training, especially one for a first timer.…

From an experienced marathoner, watch out stringing 20's together weekly. You'll want to increase your mileage gradually, and peak 3-4 weeks pre-marathon with a 22-25 miler. (I never go over 22.) Continuing that volume without resting with weeks in between with lighter volume (i.e. 14-17's) is a recipe for injury. And I'll…

Seriously - Janiner - AmyK and Lioness - Total of 29. Split them up how you want.

Spent many fat and broke years earning that Master's Degree in CS w/ a Minor in Seeing Through Excuses. Graduation about 8 years ago was a great day.

10, and I want your dentist's number!

Yes, the money YOU owe. If you're not able to read what they're charging, which they define, don't borrow it. Whether you think it's a big greedy company, or your family owned business, it's theft. Own any stock? I do, which I paid with hard earned money. I "own" those corporations just like so many other people do. And…

There we go - screw personal responsibility! Let all of the paying people in the land make up for you lack of self-control. Do the right thing, work a second job, get more hours, stop spending - and PAY YOUR DEBT THAT YOU INCURRED. Funny this comes up on a weight loss sight. Similar issue pours into so many people's…

Tonil - 7.5 only because I can barely see you under the hat and mittens!!!

The girl likes her bread! You're obviously not eating clean and not sticking to the basic premise of weight loss. And yes, I would use someone who eats bread twice a day as an indicator to an overall poor eating style which most likely results in over-intake. What he's telling you in general terms is that bread is a…

If you're still gaining, then you're still eating too much or not burning enough. Physics is physics, sister. Energy In < Energy Out = Weight Gain Pretty simple, but the solution isn't much fun. It means more hurt, more sweat, less yum. There are no mysteries to weight loss, just people who want something easier than the…

Well, you said your goal was to gain mass, you did. You spent 4 months trying to put on weight and lived the life of gluttony it sounds like. "white bread twice a day" and "pigged out". Well, 2 weeks isn't going to cut it. Try spending that same 4 months busting your *kitten* on cardio, doing twice as much as you think you…

2, because the *kitten* has bigger arms than me!

Initial 'click' is key physically: Smile / Face is #1, body is #2. Then there's a whole new dynamic / level it goes to see if there's anything more than simple eye candy. Attitude takes over. I've seen some of the most visually gorgeous women become goats after talking to them for 3 minutes, and some of the most average…

Refreshing to hear. And yes, I'm with you - it's focused on fitness here, but the trait generally applies to many areas!

A sane person!? Finally. She gets its. You know the answer to the pill question already. No need to answer it. One thing works and that is working hard, end the gluttony, and do it consistently. The process isn't fun. What is fun is being able to post a gorgeous pic like below after you've realized that you must pay a…

Or they just eat too frickin' much and don't work out enough! Giving people "metabolic disorder" as another excuse is absurd. Stop eating processed, nasty food in huge quantities. Work out to the point your body hurts - then keep going. We've become so soft and want it easy. You're going to be hungry sometimes, you've…

Not since college, and then it was residual from the night before. My thought is this - I'd rather see you have a couple beers and ****ty dinner (sorry, skip the reuben for a grilled chicken breast on wheat!) before your workout rather than the alternative. i.e. Couple beers, ****ty dinner and go to bed! Obviously, there's…

Calories Consumed < Calories Burned = Weight Loss Too often we try to make things too complicated. The above is the answer. Don't get me wrong, I believe when I eat a carb rich diet that I tend to consume more calories, and it's a gateway for me to overeat. But again, this is a "micro-economic" view point. The…

No sports - she was the "too hot to talk to chick" who smoked behind the school and made fun of the athletes...
