I see your points. i can't just go around in reality talking about working out with people that aren't, just like I can't talk about video games or sports with everybody. I guess the working out/healthy aspects are a personal gain and anyone annoyed by it just seems to be a personal attack towards me and my…

I agree....they don't understand. I think the people are just going to look at things to complain about. when you are negative, they will complain to others about your negativity. when you are in a positive place they will complain to you. when you are drunk they will try to join you :)

No I didn't get to that comment yet. i'll let the first one slide. the next will be responded that way :) with regards to facebook/twitter, that's what those sites are for, updating people on your thoughts/actions and interests. right now, those are the things that i'm in to. They are going to learn to love these new…

my mom said something similar....she said all i ever seem to talk about is working out and dieting. I can't help it, i'm extremely involved in the aspect of fitness and health. Why would I not talk about something I'm so in to, right?

I've lost about 50 and am looking to lose another 30 pounds of fat. So we have similar goals it would seem. Good luck to you.

yeah....i'm like that kid you like to pick on because of how he responds when it comes to being a FSP player. i take the deaths, and respond with humor. KUKUKU. i don't like being referred to as a sponge, it makes me feel like a contra ceptive...by the way that's not a contra title.

I always have fun playing but i suck at FPS probably because i don't give it enough of my attention, because i suck, which creates a vicious cycle. i own the last two, yet i still barely play them.*kitten* games. i'm more of an adventure/rpg all around story based gamer.

If you're not sweating you are not working out. To me any girl/woman working out is at some level of sexy. Either she is sexy or getting sexier. I know that sounds a little shallow, but hey, my honest opinion. To me, if you still look like you did when you started the workout, you do not look sexy, you look foolish.…

Yes! I am gamer turned jock. The two have not melded together well at all. I have cut out a lot of gaming because I'm usually at the gym, hiking or going out running. I still try to make sure I at least get a bit of gaming once a week. Skyrim was the last game I got seriously in to and it took me out of the gym for almost…

Yo! Why be shy? it's the internet. be who ever you want to be, unless being shy is who you want to be. Good luck with your goals. to anyone else, you can add me.

I enjoy the drained feelings at times. It was what made me keep doing the boxing training, but it is a real mental exercise just to get up the motivation for the workout. However, now that I've started with weight training, I feel a new found joy for the cardio. It's like I feel that it is not as intimidating as it can be.

Man....i love doing some HIIT. It is so demanding and it feels like I'm actually strength training. I started out to high for my current level. I was doing 90 rest 30 full speed and i could only do about 2-3 rounds before I was done. I maybe do 1 a week right now, usually when I do my mile run at work, however I switched…

I think people need to step away from "Weight loss" and start focusing on Fat Loss. cardio exercising is great for weight loss, but does not descriminate where it takes that weight from. It could be muscles or fat, whatever is easiest to work with. The two exercises need to be combined in everyones exercise planning.…

I don't see it as rude....i see it as informational. That is why I have started to add weight lifting. I wanted to see the opinions on why people would do one or both of these exercises and how they felt? what the negatives and positives? why they didn't or did like one of the exercises? more of a discussion of personal…

I never had a kid, I don't know. It might be something genetic. Anyways, I have stretch marks and I could careless. Especially now that I've lost 40lbs. You think stretch marks are anything to worry about? you have an excuse, and i'm pretty sure you are not ashamed of your kid(s) so you shouldn't be ashamed of the marks.…

That's all i was really looking for sheila...just other opinion on how they feel and approach the two. I like your way of thinking Victoria...I want to know that I can be useful to myself if I need to be. If I need to run from something, or lift something and possibly kick something. I want to know that my body is…

I've enjoyed my cardio a lot, I've mostly been doing boxing/kickboxing as my cardio, along with running. I just started to weight train and it's not as easy for to mentally get in to it because of the muscle soreness, something I have to work through, I know. I know that I have been pretty stress free because the cardio. I…

when you refer to flexibility, i am assuming stretching? I can be honest and like most people, I struggle with stretching. I do the minimum to help minimize the risks of injury and delayed soreness. However, I have not tried to do more then just that.

i'm doing both, for all the reasons. health, fat loss, weight loss, strength gain and body composition. I don't think you can get it all with out doing both and being committed to them both. of course the proper diet as well.

i was thinking about a chocolate banana smoothie. it has crossed my mind. I enjoy adding the almonds because they add a little bit to the texture, not for the flavor. The walnuts are also for nutrition and not so much the taste....even though they are delicious.

Thanks for the information. I consistently have to deal with the doms, but that would be because I have not focused on strength training much. DOMS is what tends to stop me from wanting to workout. I don't focus much on weights, but body weight and have just started to do some of the crossfit workouts. I'm going to take…

I have felt that exact way....and I've felt it for a while. Once I started to really dedicate myself to working out and eating better, even cut out drinking on the weekends; I started to really notice the flaws. I didn't have the love handles that I have now and my stomache is a lot softer than it use to be. I figured it…

the goal is weight loss. i'm going to start adding in weight lifting next week to try and help bring out the definition. I want to have a lean build not to be bulky and hopefully one year be able to do Kratos as a halloween costume. I have my goals set to about 1.5 lb a week this way i have room to play with my intake.…

Yeah, i'm aware of watching the glyco levels and trying to keep the body from going catabolic when it comes to weight training. I have been reading up on it before I decided to get started. I know that in the beginning you can get massive gains better then later so I wanted to make sure that I would be doing it more…

i had a trainer years ago but she was focused on doing cardio and weight lifting together. it was too much for a beginner like me. If i had the money i would so be trying to get a trainer to help out with getting me to lift more. I've heard good things about kettlebell workouts, but not something i have access to at this…

really thinking about it, can a person get skinny fat from just doing cardio? I mean, if all you are doing is running and cycling, yeah i could see you being skinny fat. However, if you are doing aerobics, swimming, boxing or hiit for your cardio, i don't see you getting skinny fat. i mean you might not have a cut and…

Great job. the change is amazing and you look great. Now if I can just get my mom to start listening to me and start doing the same as you.

I don't really have to much of a sweet tooth. it use to be worse when i first started with my workouts and diets. I wasn't getting enough food throughout the day and would want to snack at night. Now I'm pretty good about making sure I eat enough throughout the day and don't have to many issues. Occassionally I will want…

The closest one I could think of is Heavenly Sword. Maybe Bayonetta, but that is a long stretch. You should definitely let that computer geek out and create that game, or at least that leading lady. Use yourself as inspiration for her image. kukuku.
