Congrats on a job well done! Our stories are very similar and I'll be doing my first half in 5 weeks, so your story will serve as great motivation for me!

I do the following after my runs, which include a 3-5 minute cool down walk. Single leg calf stretch, each leg Standing quad stretch, each leg IT band touch your toes stretch, each leg IT band wall stretch, each leg Lying hamstring stretch, each leg Lying figure 4 stretch, each leg Try to hold each stretch for 30-60…

Hey kit, I used the following program to work on my pull-ups. If you have access to a resistance band that you can suspend from the pull-up bar, it will really help you. http://www.7weekstofitness.com/product/7-weeks-to-50-pullups/

[/quote] Awwww...too late to worry about it now. It was a very nice thing to do. Has she contacted you yet? [/quote] Yeah, over worrying about it. Just like to get feedback on things that leave me scratching my head. She did reach out to me earlier today. Seems she is getting worse instead of better so I told her to listen…

Had this discussion with a my friends fiance and that is exactly what she said. Since the start of the new year I have changed the type of girl that I date but the sample size is still to small to determine if it is working. She also thinks that I try to build a friendship first and then look for a spark, which she thinks…

The scenario you mention is exactly what happened, she was to sick to go out and my first thought was carry out. We have had a playful debate going on about who's better in the kitchen, and after we had talked it was more of a challenge to do it, than it was trying to be over the top nice. But after I did it I was second…

Yeah, hindsight is the reason I posted it. I decided yesterday to let her be until I heard from her and she contacted me today. She is actually getting worse instead of better and was going into the Dr. office.

I have to agree with you! We are from the same general area and I am starting to wonder if it is just the women in our area that act this way, lol.

That's the part I need to learn how to manage better :noway:

Thanks Zach! That's what I was looking for. After passing the friend test we spent the night together, she knows how I feel and what I'm looking for, I've had to turn down plans with her because of having other plans. What I meant in #3 is do you think it becomes expected or set the bar to high in the relationship, lol

Didn't think about the coercion angle, lol

I agree with you on this. I left out the length of time dating so it would prompt some different responses. On our last date we went to an event with some of her friends, and at the end of the night as we left she informed me that I passed the friend test with flying colors, but we haven't had the talk yet.

Great work, the results are awesome!

I started at a similar weight and did mostly walking so i wouldn't abuse my knees. I then added the elliptical with a full body lifting routine. I started with 10 minutes elliptical, one set of lifting and then 10 minutes of elliptical. I increased each week by adding a couple minutes to the elliptical and more sets and…

Me a flirt? :blushing: As much as I like grease I have to say I'm on an Urban Cowboy kick this weekend

Oh, and if we were going to do a duet, it would have to John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John's You’re the One that I Want

Well, you know you would be the first one I asked

Would have to be Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline

Awesome post to start off the year!

Solid brag my man, you are in such an envious position! You've got the hard part done, now I'd say work on the other things that women look for to show them that you are more than a boy toy. Of course I'm just assuming that you need to work on those things but thats coming from a guy who has done things backwards, lol Best…

Awesome Job, you look amazing!

Thanks a lot for your take on this! You have hit the moral dilemma square on the head for me! Now to be fair and restore balance to the Single Peeps Universe - Kit, thank you for your response! I have also learned a lot from you, Janie, LA-Amazona, Jenbit & others! You are spot on when you say there is no right or wrong…

I agree with this 100%, especially the part with being over critical of yourself!

This is the justification my gut uses! But then I started thinking what if she isn't juggling multiple men but goes online and sees you have been on the site in the last 24 hours and decides, "oh if he is, I am going to keep looking too" Over thinking on my part possibly... I am learning the easy answer may be until there…

Thanks Mike, I think I mentally fall into this category, but my gut tells me it is ok to try and go out with more than one person. I feel my early stage process of online dating is good, as I progress from email, to text/phone, to first date or meeting in about a 7-10 days. But the part I need to work on is when I start to…

This makes me think that I'll have to trust my gut feeling and initiate the conversation when I feel the time is right.

Thank you that is the type of info I was looking for, but I know it will vary!

Thanks Kerry, it's so hard to figure the confidence thing out! What you describe is sort of the attitude I am developing towards the online dating stuff! To bad we don't live closer to one another as none of this would be an issue :love:

Thank you, that is very useful information to have!

Thank you!
