Last year I turned 50 & I lost over 50 pounds. It seems like it's so much easier to gain the weight now than even 5 years ago, but for me, it was all about 2 things. Eating better & finding a workout that you can't wait to do again & again, which was 9Round (35 minute kickboxing workout). When I was lifting & running, it…

9Round, as often as I can. Never the same workout & nothing better IMO.

My #1 is Warrior by Disturbed. Fantastic combination of rocking out & motivational lyrics (can't wait to go see them on the 22nd). Also: The Trooper - Iron Maiden Seek & Destroy & Master of Puppets - Metallica A Warrior's Call - Volbeat Step Up - Drowning Pool

I saw an article on this. Stuffing vs dressing is just a regional thing, not if it's in the bird or on the stove. Something about southerners thinking that stuffing wasn't a proper term, so they started using dressing. My source is buzzfeed or maybe mental floss, so take it for what it's worth.

Don't they use molasses to make brown sugar?

I love Pepsi Max, but we went to ATL for vacation a few years ago & the World of Coke was really cool. Getting to try all the varieties of coke sold all over the world was really interesting.

Was there bright & early this morning & will be there after work. Before this week I was off 10 days because of being sick. I was amazed at how bad my endurance sucked on Monday. Nice to see another 9rounder on the boards! My home base is Lincoln Nebraska (North 83rd st). Where is your home base, if I can ask?

By making it

Same here. At least when I eat at my desk, I know my desk is clean & I don't have to deal with a food that I don't like the smell of, other people's bad manners & especially the sound of someone who can't chew with their mouth closed.

Why are you ordering chicken at LJS? Because it's insanely delicious, that's why!

It's all relative. My wife is like, I can't finish this (cake, cheesecake, brownie etc) & I'm like the things I do for you. Guess I'll take one for the team, again.

Far less weird than drinking hot coffee during the summer months.

My daughter did a speech in FFA about GMO's & how just about everything we eat has been genetically modified at some point. She gets so angry when people talk about making sure nothing the eat has GMO's she just wants to shake them & tell them they the truth about it.

I think you both meant to say honeycrisp apples

I'm right there with you on the Pepsi Max. No other diet pop even comes close (although I do like Diet Dr. Pepper). Here's mine. Pumpkin anything tastes like *kitten*, coffee, wine & beer are disgusting. I love Fireball. For those of you who don't like kit-kats or reeses cups, have you tried the dark chocolate versions?…

And it mixes really well with Fireball & a splash of grenadine.

Yes, but Pepsi Max is the best. Diet Coke is just too watered down.

Daredevil - Season 3

I prefer 9round. Have a good day? Hit the bags. Have a bad day or someone is pissing me off? I hit (and kick) the bags way harder! That & Fireball at Husker tailgates, but that just helps me cope with this season so far. #GBR

For me, it took therapy at a place that uses Active Release Therapy (ART). Basically, they use a rounded spatula & they work your arch & break up the scar tissue causing it. I had 2 cortisone shots in my feet & I have orthopedic inserts, but the ART is what changed my life. It was so bad I was walking like I was 80 & it…

I love this analogy! I have two jobs & my part time one doesn't pay the mortgage, but it puts food on the table. I could have lost the weight I did without exercise, but the exercise has added to my quality of life even more than just the weight loss alone.

9Round, I can't go there enough!

Abs are made in the gym, but revealed in the kitchen. If you don't work them, they won't be strong & if you don't eat right, you'll never see them.

I love 9Round. There are so many combinations you can do with a heavy bag. One of my favorites is a hook ladder. Throw one hook, then one burpee. Two hooks, then one burpee, three hooks, one burpee & so on. See how many you can get in 3 minutes. Or something like 10 alternating hooks, then 10 alternating round kicks. The…

I had it for a long time. 3 years ago I had surgery to clean out my shoulder & re-sect my clavicle. Now I'm pain free. Wish I would have done it a lot sooner.

Keep it consistent. Weigh at the same time, which for me is first thing in the morning, right after using the bathroom.

Like a previous poster said, find something you love to do. For me, it's 9Round (kickboxing exercise workout). I can't wait to go back. I'm there at least 8-9 times a normal week. 35 minutes a workout, and a new workout starts every 3 minutes, so there's hardly ever a wait & you never have to worry about being late. It's…

Brooks Glycerine are the only shoes for me. I wear orthopedic inserts, so it's a wider shoe with a neutral stride & it works for me.

Does your therapist do active release therapy (ART)? It's where they go in & use like a smooth butter knife & rub it in the arch. That's the only thing that helped me.
