Im with the others when I say I'm wary of this also. We all know its a definite political tactic used at an incredibly strategic time. Yes...he said it....so what....He made over 1 million dollars in donations 90 minutes after his speech...everyone jumped up and down clapping their hands, clicking their heels, flying out…

Hey all, Im Dave 41 from Chicago, Illinois. G/W/M who stepped out of the shower one day, got a real good look in the mirror and realized my weight was getting out of control, partly due to job stress, partly due to depression, and partly due to being just plain LAZY. I started working out at the gym oct 2011 weighing in at…

LOL....I have a suggestion if I may. Patience :) I went through the exact same thing, swearing I was gonna throw my friggin scale out the window. Sometimes it takes a bit of extra time for the body to adjust. My scale didnt move an inch for a little over two weeks....Then FINALLY it started dropping. Give it a bit of…

I am sooooo a germobphobe....yesterday i damn near went into a rage at the gym..... while walking into the locker room, it was very clear by the friggin smell, that the guy in the stall was taking a dump....then the toilet flushes, he comes out of the stall and proceeds directly to the workout equipment WITHOUT so much as…

My high was 248....236 when i started mfp

Thats hillarious.....but true. I find myself feeling guilty, and definately have to get over that. I eat pizza AND chinese food every so often. Sometimes you need a break in the routine...and its good to throw the body off every now and then.

Take this only if you want to completely clean out....it is just a temporary relief.

You are definately NOT alone in your struggle. I was doing the exact same thing till i topped out at 248 pounds. We all look to tone our bodies, loose weight ect, but most everyone neglects their mental health...which is just as important as physical health. Im really thinkin that my daily trips to the gym help me out alot…

*kitten* definately!!!

well....heres a compliment from the other side :)

I workout late at night, depending on how much i drink...2 or 3 times....drives me crazy.

I love it too!!!! YEA!!!

Im single....so nahhhhh not excited.

Nope...no valentine for me either!!!

Dont worry about that...the body fluctuates throughout the day, and week....i usually find that if i weigh in early, im up a pound, sometimes as many as three pounds. But when I re-weigh in at my regularly scheduled time, I have lost 2 pounds. The most important thing to remember is to weigh yourself in the morning, the…

Im in law enforcement....

LOL me too!!

I definately agree!!!!

I just got done watching the movie "Latter Days" on Netflix....Second time I've watched it, and both times, the ending brought tears to my eyes. I went to college, have a good job, a house blah blah...but the one thing im still missing is "True" Love in my life. I probably shouldnt complain, because I dont ACTIVELY go out…

I would love to get the hell out of chicago!!!

Yea, well....we definately all go through that. Cant teach an old dog new tricks lol.....my mom is a stubborn italian, and definately resists any change. Just keep on doin what you do!!

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing

Mt Prospect.

Yea, once in a while i throw caution to the wind and eat pizza too!!!! sometimes ill even order from my favorite place, and freeze the pizza in seperate portions...kind of like a treat when i run extra, or workout extra hard that week!!! or...just make sunday my pizza day...moderation of course :)

I dont know...im not thinkin id just want to be someones eff buddy!!! nothing like being used like a piece of meat...not for me!!

I also eat one gram of protein per pound of body weight.... im at 45% protein 35% carbs and 20% fat

I totally agree too. Being a police officer, and not necessarily being "outed" per se has caused me YEARS of grief on my job. Nosy people who like to "assume" and spread gossipy rumors are just as bad. It got really ****ty at my job, to the point where I had no choice but to "out" myself to the bosses and ask that the crap…

ohhh yea, and deep fried oreos!!!!! yummmmmm

try adding oat powder to your protein...you can find this at www.musclefeast.com Thats where i get all my supplements....The guy is very knowledgeble and if you join his facebook page, all the people there are bodybuilders and can answer any questions you may have!!!!

I hear what your saying....The gym does get old after a while....sometimes i loose motivation too but I force myself to go....Try giving up subway and go with more frequent smaller meals...such as a can of tuna/chicken and 6 wheat crackers.....2 carrots for a snack etc until you can get back to the gym and offset the heavy…
