I probably drink an extreme amount of diet coke (8-10 cans a day) mostly due to the fact that it is free in my lab; Yes, coffee and tea are also free, but I like the acidic taste/feel of soda. (Frankly, the main reason I drink it and not coffee is that whenever I drink coffee I really want a cigarette and I haven't smoked…

bump:smile:

OP: Try not to watch the scale on more than a once-a-week basis; weight fluctuates, especially day-to-day. If you must check it more often, take the readings with a grain of salt (though too much sodium is bad for you. :P) If you are working out you are probably gaining a bit o' muscle mass to offset the weight lost from…

Wonderful! It's stories like this that make me keep going. Thank you.

Its sorta active. Most of us are so damn tired that it is hard to come up with anything brilliant. I worked nights for 20+ years (Hosp.) and have been tracking my food for about 3-4 years now and I must say that sleep is really, really important. Every time I sleep less that 5 hrs a night for a couple weeks I tend to start…

We have had one of these at work for 5-6 years now. One of the very early models, but still works on the same principal. From my observation, and the observations of my co-workers, there is really no truth to the vibration plate's effectiveness at burning calories. Several of the women scientists have plotted a graph to…

WOW, pretty cool, this. Mirrors quite a bit of what I lerned in school, but have since ignored (hence MFP).

You are the lightning bolt guy? No kidding! I saw that on TOSH.0 and had to check it out myself. Pretty funny stuff; my kids ran around the house shouting 'Lightning Bolt' and throwing beanbags at each other for weeks after. :happy:

Heh, I was in something like that once. The guys with the paintballs wiped us out during the day on the field of battle. Hard to beat ranged/ vs/ hand held or thrown weapons. HOWEVER, we staged a comeback when they settled in for the night. We snuck up on their camp, killed the sentry and stole their weapons while they…

Yes, I played LIONE (I think it is called End Of Seasons now), for many years in Massassachusitts and I played NERO once in the early '90's. I LOVE it. Great way to set the immagination rolling while burning off quite a bit of calories. Just like paintball, I love the aspect of pitting myself against actual people in a way…

Ex nihilo nihil fit, 'out of nothing Nothing comes' Nothing can exist but only as defined by nothing. But shouldn't we first define what nothing is? Nothing might be defined as empty space, devoid of mass or energy—including the absence of space itself (even the absence of physical laws) however in modern theory (General…

I used to work in a physical therapy department and have seen many such injuries expecially from someone who has just started a high impact workout like insanity. It could be as little as tendonitis or as bad as a ligament/meniscal tear but there is no realy good way to find out unless you know what you are looking for. I…

Ok, I have an odd question... Are Zombies considered 'Green' forms of energy? Why hasn't anyone hooked up a few dozen to conveyer belts (tread mills) and used them to generate power? They don't sleep... they don't have to eat.... they will lunge/ shamble towards anything that is infront of them... perfect! Better than…

Wow, I haven't played Shadow Run since the 90's. I have no input for you except for that. I am trying to remember what my characters were but find it a bit hard..err...I believe Grom Thimble; a Gnome Magician who was addicted to a substance the corperations used to controll Magicians and which would kill them if they went…

For my sweet ice-cream like craving I make a grahm cracker pie crust (home-made about 70 cal per serving) and fat free cool whip (about 35 cal per serving - takes about 3 servings to fill a muffin tin) stirred with a hint of chocolate syrup (walden farms cal free chocolate syrup stirred into the mix to make a chocolate…

Sure, add me. Looking for some diversions.

Back in 1988-89 or so I was dragged to an odd show by this lady couple I was the safe guy for. (Yes they were and I was their 'prop'.) It was fantastic! We threw toast. We threw rice. We dressed outlandishly. We danced a very odd dance. ... I was dragged there almost every week that whole summer. Had a very wonderful time.…

Because I do not see well without my glasses (Ok, I'm blind as a friggin bat), I put on a pair of jeans from the drier that fit exceptionally well. It wasn't until I went upstairs that I realized it was my wife's jeans - she wears men's levi's for the looser fit due to bing with child so recently.

Personally, as a man, I would like a partner in all things,but also one who apreciates the things that I do for them. One who splits the chores and actually does their share, one who helps to take care of the kids and doesn't just dump them and leave when she gets stressed. One who doesn't nag but rather talks about what…

Sweet isn't it? Being able to eat what you like as long as you exercise and/or play hard enough. From what you wrote, it sounds like you can keep it up both the eating well and the playing hard. :happy: Good luck!

Your employer is kind of going about this the wrong way. The insurance companies have been increasing prices and charging the employers more who then pass it on to the employees. However due to wellness programs, people who take care of themselves get a bonus or a reduced price. It is not supposed to be that they are…

Yeah this. There usually has to be some kind of life event for people to really have changed; that or a good deal of time. The life event could have been the first break-up, but now several on-again/ off-agains later, this is just kicking the proverbial dead horse. Chances are nothing has changed nor will it.

Yeah, bumping uglies must mean very different things 'twixt us. By the way, don't film unless you have permission to film her. That is against the law in many states. However, DO switch classes and give this as the reason. Some places don't really care unless they are loosing buisness; there is a chance the instructor…

Same as most here. I was raised that way and will hold the door for anyone who is within a certain distance. The distance varies with the person (ie, if elderly, I will hold for much longer so they don't have to hurry, if teenage, I will wave them through if I think they are lagging.) And of course for women, I will hold…

Maby lots of water then..... running often to the bathroom is certain to burn off a few calories right? heh. Actually, seriously, I crunch on ice if I really need to or keep myself occupied with a project... Hopping on this sight seems to help as well. Reading/ chatting/ looking at success stories tends to keep me honest.…

I am NOT a GEEK! Ok,... ok.... I played D-n-D when they introduced the new character class 'the cleric' ('74? '76?)...and I LARP....play wow....read everything in sight (some of my favorite things to read is instructions to complicated games)....and am trying to build my battle-bot in my garage...LOVE Dr…

I am not sure, I usually always eat something at night, but instead of sweets, I grab something crunchy (carrotts, beans, frozen veggies etc) and water (with ice and lemon) or suchlike. I used to make some serious desssert type things (I loved to experiment with unusual desserts for my wife and family), but the above…

I once was walking down the street and saw a small paper bag (lunch-bag type) on the ground and kicked it hoping it was a bag of money... it was. Shocked the hell out of me. There was around $600 in it and a receipt. I picked it up and started looking around for the owner when this lady ran over to me and started accusing…

Craigslist- has a free list and a spot for you to throw on an add listing what you need and stipulate that you can go and pick it up. Some people dont bother listing stuff because they don't want to deliver... they would rather throw it away even if it is still in working order. (Got a baby upright piano, a pinball machine…

Huh, I believe I speak for many men when I say that my favorite size for a girl is ' willing '. That pretty much covers everything.
