  • Done, but now breaking out is the "new black" and you can never be popular. I wish I was more motivated at work right now!
  • That is what I figure also. Setting the alarm the night before is easy, once it goes off as long as you have to wake up SOME to turn it off, its not worth sleeping until your "normal" wakeup time because by time you get back to sleep you only have 45 minutes or so and gave up an hour plus of working out. Once you do the…
  • Now I changed my wish to "I wish I didn't kill this thread!!"
  • Done but your boss just told you that you now work the midnight shift effective immediately. I wish I was at the beach right now!
  • How are you calculating the calories burned during your workout? If I log a run on here, and say I am running at a 12 minute mile pace (which is about accurate for me right now), it says I will burn 642 calories in 30 minutes. I wear a Heart rate monitor and it tells me I burn roughly 300 calories - maybe 350 tops on any…
  • Don't worry about people like that - karma returns the favor by making their life completely miserable - which is why she said something in the first place!! Next time she looks at your speed - point in front of her and say "look out" - and hope that she trips! :-)
  • Not sure how long before you start thinking of having kids (if that is in the plan for you) - but clearly the more fit you are at the start of that process, the easier/less complicated it will be. That may be a ways off, so what works for me is to try and think of something fun coming in near term (maybe a vacation, or…
  • Why won't they let you bring anything in? That doesn't make sense? Do you mean they just don't have refrigerators available for you or what? How do they know if you "snuck in" a few protein bars or something?
  • I run with my dog - he is a black lab and is 1 yr old - so MUCH different than yours - but mine is AWESOME to run with. He lets me know when I am slowing my pace because he normally runs next to me and when he gets in front of me he will start looking back at me like "ummm - lets go pal!!!" So I know he can do it - and its…
  • I just realized one of my favorite "cheat" meals has calories listed in the MFP database that is 50% lower than what the restaurants website says it is. ie I thought I was eating 800 calories, but was downing 1200 - that kind of sucks - now I can't eat the rest of the day - haha

  • THAT IS AWESOME!!! That is a huge gain and its always fun to see those gains come out of it like that!! Congrats to you!!
  • Ha - and in your pic your eyes are closed - you should let us see them!! :-) I have always liked my shoulders - but lately I am really starting to dig my upper arms!!
  • This - I have heard the same thing - knew I should have been an Olympic athlete!!!
  • NICE!! I will check those out - I think I am working from home tomorrow so some of the NSFW will be a lot easier to see when I am not running through the work network!!
  • Not rude at all - some people like to "see" the person get the gifts you got them - but I would guess that will be a pretty small group of family and best friends maybe. To be honest - when I got married - I couldn't remember who was at what - its such a whirlwind that unless you are their best friend or they have…
  • This - couldn't agree more - LOVE being on the water - its my happy place!
  • Hope this works!!!
  • SOME people here are miserable - but there are a great many more who are fun and really here for the benefits a site like this can provide. I am here for the girls - but you know - most are here for better reasons than that :-)
  • I can't tell if this is hot or scary!! :laugh:
  • Before my first date with my wife, I texted her asking if she was ready for her last first date ever. Obviously it came true. Unfortunately that wasn't the first time I had used that - haha
  • Pretty sure we don't stand a chance - but 854!!!
  • Would love to see broncos win but can't see thm pulling this off!!
  • Screw that...I'll be putting these babies on the kitchen scale myself as soon as I get home! We should all get together and help each other weigh....why should the men have all the fun?! :smokin: [/quote] God yes - please do this. And take pictures. More motivation than any "before/after" compilation will ever be - haha
  • I use the Polar T31 (was decent when I bought it I think) - and my assumption was always that any "over-exaggeration" of calorie burn that it showed would be evened out by the fact that strength training burns more calories throughout the day as the muscle breaks down and is re-built. So if I lift for 20 minutes and the…
  • Pulling for Bama just because I want the BCS to be revised to make sure two schools from same conference can't play of NC. I love the SEC - am a Florida Gator - so love that we keep dominating it, but this feels like cheating to me - LSU should play OK St tonight. So for that alone - Roll Tide.
  • Wow - note to self - don't ever forget to have both sides at the same length!! I don't really want people thinking I am packing, or knowing that I am NOT packing. My wife must have one pant leg up when she goes to the department store because they seem to ALWAYS know she is buying!!
  • Click on the name of the person you want to friend and there will be a button that says "add a friend" or something along those lines. P.S. I added you ;-)
  • Bump to see if we can get a few more friends!!!!
  • Amazing progress. You look awesome!!!
  • That is absolutely fantastic!! You look awesome!!!!
