You prefer a thread that condones these poor choices or one that is brutally honest and tells you what you need to hear vice what you want to hear? Fads are just that. We want to help you with a sustainable change but you have to be willing to change.

] Worse plan ever ^ - Totally not healthy, safe or sustainable.

Most of your comments on this I can concurr with but this one I cannot. For many of us the old adiage that only you can make you happy rings true in our heads but there are those with chemical issues that does not equate to the same. It has been shown that lack of fitness leads to depression and chemical embalances do the…

It is hard for me to place judgement on this when there are so many morbid obese people who there seem to be no other way.

This is the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) I took from your entire statement. However, every situation is unique in itself. Where your client may not be happy because of the loss of strength and production, a good fitness regime and healthy eating will help him regain strength/stability and improve his mental health. All is…

Actually, testerone levels rise better as a result of evening workouts although they are normally higher in the morning when you wake up, weight lifting benefits testerone more in the evening. I don't know where you are getting your info from but if you would review CDC or other medical sites you will see they differ from…

Weight (weift) lifting is most beneficial in the evening but as long as you fuel before and after lifting, morning weight lifting will not hurt for this short period of time.

MapMyRide is the only one I use because it links with myfitnesspal and the national bike challenge website.

316 miles to date with a bit of hurt pride alone the way (ran into a fence because I paniced). Riding today and when I am done I will paddle over to bike shop to make sure there is no significant damage beyond my pride.

Pull your evil claws back in - you are correct (the note was not meant in moral depravity or corruption meaning) - it was meant in a instead of meaning...

Beyond the horrendous misspellings/grammar; I am getting that you think it is ok to just give exercise a sporadic approach vice committing to a lifestyle that promotes healthy eating and exercising at least 5 to 6 days a week. You feel you are over your head because you have not found that happy medium and you prefer the…

Happy Birthday to my son for turning 18 today. He is almost a man and next month he will have after school to look forward to. What's next? College, military, peace corp, work, etc. - look to look forward to.

It is your life. Quit if you want to. The hard fact is no one can motivate you as much as you can. You set the wrong goals and admit you have failed miserably at tracking. I was the same way after I lost 65 lbs but now I am on a reboot. I languished for 3 years on here wondering what went wrong and trying to get motivated…

Depends. If you are 5'1" and 95 lbs I can live with that as you are fit. but if you are 5'4" or above and weigh 95, that is a different story and I cannot see myself dating or marrying someone who don't take care of themselves because boney is not "my" thought of beauty/fitness. My wife weighs 118 and is 5'5". She is fit…

Well said but of course the junk food - I will eat what I want addicts will slam you for making sense. I enjoy what I eat and when I want to treat myself I treat myself. I decided to make a lifestyle change and macros are not a key to my change if they are full of junk. Preach that crap often enough and you will start…

Woman with no arms - no legs? Barb Seriously, she could not hug me with arms! Ok, really seriously - I like toned arms on my ladies but not too bulky. Now, if she is not my lady (being a formal body builder) I love the definition of muscular women because I am still in to admiring the work and the results.

Maybe you are not a great communicator and we are reading you wrong. Live your life whether we agree or disagree. Just not how I think for certain.

] We met too late in life. I am already taken but I would be in love with you if she would not have beaten you to me :love:

Agreed - this is absurb I typically order for my wife because she is quiet and if I get what she told me wrong I am glad she speaks up and corrects me. If she would do all her own ordering, I don't think twice about it. I don't believe is ok to nick pick in any relationship (marriage or dating). The key word is compromise.…

My top ten list: !. Kind Hearted 2. Independent 3. Loves kids 4. Don't dwell in the past 5. Seeks to be one while remaining independent 6. Fit to some degree 7. Doesn't have to be overly attractive yet pleasing to the eye 8. Loves me for me 9. Always looking to a future with us - not selfish 10. Compliments who I am Edited…

I'm in. Joining right now. Hope to be up in about 10 mikes.

Update: As I previously stated, I ran some marathons when I lost the weight before but this time around the hips were suffering so running did not sound like a fun way to get in shape any longer. I bought a road bike in December of 2013. We (me and the bike) finally got out and rode it on the 3rd and 4th. It was so…

This^ The problem with many of us today is we worry about what others think or allow them to have power over you that is not theirs. If you want to be healthy, do what is necessary and don't follow the crown. Peer pressure may be a beast but greater is he that treads their own path.

After a long winter and some serious debating, I got my first ride in today. Found a 8.24 mile route through my neighborhood and topped out between 10-12 mph (not ready for the big boys). Things I have to get use to: 1. Saddle buns 2. Quads pumping the peddle (felt the burn with little churn) 3. Hills I am looking forward…

I would hope others would share their stories because we are not all perfect and we fall and get up when we want to win.

WOW! We have the same eating plan! Amazing - too bad we didn't patent this idea :laugh:

Thanks for your response. The poster you replied to is clueless and think others think and act as ignorant as he.

It is because he probably say the same crap and think it is ok.

How about the fact that Sterling admitted to it all.

Another well stated opinion. Thanks!
