Nice "Guns".... Gotta work on the trigger discipline though! ;)

Just a thought.. Everyone get off your high horse, soap box, pulpit, or other holier-than-thou platform and be responsible for your own health. If you feel diet drinks are the core issue for being healthy and feeling better, feel free to stop drinking them. If you're ok with whats in a diet drink and enjoy them and aren't…

At 260, its taking ~1900 a day before exercise just to keep you moving and breathing.. You have room to move higher than 1200 and still lose weight. Remember that yor 'before' diet was probably 2300+ to maintain your current weight so even cutting down to 1900 would be a loss in the near future. Plug in the numbers and see…

Burger joints are great diet places, especially for guys... Order a decent sized burged, sub the fries for a side salad, and skip the bun... 300 - 600 calories on the burger depending on size, and 50 - 100 for the salad with dressing kept at reasonable levels.. adds a lot of protein, and 'sits in the gut' for a while,…

Well, in Arizona the rest of the season is BBQ and the summer I kinda back off... That being said I got a nice 4 burner gas grill for Father's Day so I had to give it a test run...My favorites lately: 1) Chicken breasts (lemon /pepper) 2) Brats (spiced chicken saussage) 3) HUGE salmon steaks... great spicy seasoning on…

0:57 - 1:00... best line in there.

Mach 3, very hot water, a tiny drop of liquid hand soap. works great. Stuck shaving daily... comes in too thik to leave for more than a day.

The stretches listed above are crucial. I would add to that a simple stretch to try to touch youe ear to your shoulder (both directions). Add to that, change your position frequently. sit up, lay down, move book to eye level, lay on your stomach and look 'above' you to read for a short period etc. The key is not to lockup…

Congrats on the CL score! And, yes depending on weight you can burn way more than 300 in 30 minutes. My average is around 1000 an hour right now... Guessing you weigh less than I do ;)

I weigh myself every morning and every evening right before bed. I consistently 'loose' 3 lbs a night with a good night sleep (7-8 hours). I woke up at 4:30 the other AM and just for kicks weighed myself before going back to sleep. I had only lost 2 lbs. When went back to sleep and got up a few hours later, the other pound…

When I almost couldn't get seated into a roller coaster and the attendant had to lean into the harness to get it to click (after waiting 45 minutes to get to the ride) When I realized that I couldn't shop in normal stores. Mens' waist sizes only go to 42 in the average department store. 44 was my tipping point!

If you like peanut butter, you can get 'PB2' which has all the oil/fat separated out so it's just a powder. I think it's 10G protein for 45 cals? Put it in or on something else you're fixing.

I'm in Arizona, You can open-carry or conceal carry almost anywhere anytime you want. You dont even need a permit. I have a CCW permit, but all thats really used for is if you want to conceal carry in a park or bar. In the bars you can only conceal with a permit and if you're not drinking. There are other similar states,…

Brussel Sprouts Arby's curly fries dipped in Arbysauce+horseradish (1/2 and 1/2) A lot of dried red peppers in anything remotely appropriate (all rice dishes, pasta, pizza, asian or indian food etc.) TONS of black pepper in any soup. (Take the cap off of the shaker and pour about 3 teaspoons on teh top of a small cup of…

I know you're not in the states so this probably doesnt help too much... but it's funny anyway! I have a friend who always open carries when she cycles (pistol sticking out off of her hip). She NEVER gets told where to ride.

If they're "I am Legend" zombies, I'm also taking all the vinegar I can carry.

80 oz total divided by 5 legs = ~16oz per leg. 230 cals per 4 oz means each 16 oz leg would be 920 cal. That seems like a very large weight for each leg+thigh. Are you sure there are only 5 in the bag?
-
Thats awesome... any anyone else that was smart enough to meet you there is probably a good person to back you up.. I can just imagine the new zombie-smashing bubba armys that form in the lobby of every Bass Pro and Cabellas in America. Only problem is I would have to learn to listen to country music. Not sure its worth it.

As long as you put those magic insoles in your shoes that pull all the toxins out through your feet and stain the insole, I think you're fine with any shoe. If you cant afford magic staining insoles, then yes, you must use open toed, closed heel shoes.

When I was very young, "Missle Command" came out in the arcade... I used to think those big antennae's you see around the city with the red flashing lights were ant-ballistic missles that the government stationed around the city to protect us from the Russians.

Great story, and Im glad to see MFP is working for you. If you aren't comfortable running yet because of your knees, you might be surprised by how much more gentle a good treadmill can be on your joints. Alt, cycling is much less stressful on your knees and will help build that cardio and endurance you'll need for a long…

While tempted to take my AR (distance / power) or 9mm (convenience / concealment) I might have to go with a silenced 10/22. Quiet enough to not draw attention, but just enough power to take out a zombie skull. Oh, and you can haul like 2000-3000 rounds without breaking a sweat. That and beef jerky... Carbs will be easier…

Thanks for the input, this backs up what I was thinking but didn't want to mess up my progress if I was doing something counter-productive. I've generally been managing my effort based on perceived exertion ... when I do that, 180 is about where Im not comfortable pushing any longer. Now to work on the speed... drop 60 lbs…

I won't go below about 1400 - 1500. At 1400 I was loosing 2 lbs a week, but I'm concerned about how much muscle was going out with it.... I'm going to be happy with 1lb/week from here on out. I recently swapped my goals from MFP's 1680 + exercise to a total of 2100 including exercise. I figured out what I was burning per…

Another cool thing I like to do (because I'm a geek)... If you have a smart phone, install an app like Endomondo and take your phone with you on rides. It'll track your progress and pace etc. I like using a feature on there to race against one of your previous rides. It's a great way to 'compete' even if you dont have…

Make combination meals where you can substitute one or two ingredients to make something heavy carb vs. low.. An example, Make a good meaty spaghetti sauce, then serve it over a solid portion of pasta for your husband. Take the same sauce and serve it over shredded spaghetti squash for your self. Most of the prep is the…

Before considering the Walmart route, go check Craigslist. Im not completely up on all the cool bikes etc., but as I understand it just about any of the bike shop brands even used will serve you better than a new walmart or target bike. I found a 15 year old Trek for $100, paid another 100 to clean it up and tune it, and…

Theres a cycling group on MFP with a fair number of people on it. I'm still a rookie, only been serious for a few months but it does certainly help. My biggest hurdle getting started was getting my fittment on the bike proper. I got there through trial and error, but if you find you're getting sore after riding (knees,…
