My parents would never tell me my IQ, they said I had a big enough ego as is. I did not blow off the gifted program in high school because I was too much of a nerd/dork to realize it wasn't cool, or to care.

I don't disagree with you that someone can have what you mention and be professional. But my clients might disagree with you and if I can't send you out on an engagement and make you billable because of whatever outdated or conservative opinions they may have then I can't hire you. It's honestly no different than if you…

I work in at my client's office, or I take clients out to dinners or we do vendor golf outings, etc....

I work in IT and business, visible tattoos are a HUGE no-no in my opinion. I don't care if you get tattoos, I have one that I wish I had never gotten, but I personally don't like them. Regardless of my personal opinion though, they aren't accepted in the business community and getting something visible (tattoo or gauging…

My initial impression was that if you told it you wanted to lose 2 pounds per week, you confirmed this later in the thread. Ultimately, that's not a really healthy loss. Sure there will be weeks where you lose 2 pounds, but your goal should be 1 pound per week, that's the way to go safely AND that's where you are more than…

Definitely, they are awesome.

I will never give anything up I like entirely, but I will slow down my intake. I love to have a soda with lunch every day and I just budget for those calories. I love alcohol so I know that once in a while I'm going to drink a lot and just need to know that those days will be blips on the radar.

If you are going to run daily at the start then anytime you feel the slightest bit sore or injured you need to back off. Your body is just learning how to run and you need to take it easy on it when it starts to tell you it's hurting. This is the hardest thing for me to comprehend, but a day or two off here or there is…

Height: 5'11" Age/Gender: 31 year old male Highest weight- 213.8 lbs Current Weight- 196.4 lbs Current body fat - No idea Lowest weight - 171 or so back in Sept 2010 Goal weigh- Maintain within the 165-175 range

I really think most of the true answers have been placed in here, just to recap though: - Do intervals, slowly increasing them, allow yourself to learn to have a longer endurance - Slow down, let yourself build in to better speeds - Find a running buddy to take your mind off things - Don't compare an elliptical to running…

The way I look at it is that I'm not dieting, I'm changing my lifestyle, and if I can't have a drink or two in my lifestyle from time to time then I want no part of that lifestyle.

Great job! Maintaining for a year is awesome.

It varies from guy to guy and it varies by the girl based on how she carries it. All in all, I would think a generic "medium" for lingerie is generally considered sexy by myself. But what the hell is a lingerie party and how do I get invited to one and convince my wife to attend?

I just finished week 6 day 2, going to attack day 3 either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how my shins feel. I find 3 days a week is probably the right amount but I'm training for some long races back to back so I'll probably move to a 4 day a week rotation at some point.

I don't know enough about an achilles injury, but I have massive shin splints and I've had a severe ankle sprain a few times. I'd suggest something low impact like biking, possibly elliptical, swimming to get your cardio and then doing whatever weight training you are able to do without putting much strain on the injured…

I'm 5'11", my goal is 175lbs, but I'd like to really get down in to the 160's

I've hired many people in my day, the key is to be confident but relaxed. Also, the more you know about my company the more it tells me you are willing to put in the work to get the job. Make sure you ask questions of the interviewer, they want to know that you are serious about the job and that you think the job is right…

I weigh every morning after I shave before I brush my teeth. I take that day's weight and plug it in to a spreadsheet (as well as MFP) but that spreadsheet calculates the 15 day moving average, which is the only weight I actually look at when it comes down to caring about my weight loss.

I was in one a few weeks ago, honestly what I did was semi-binge on weekend. I had been planning on going out of town with some friends so when we went I didn't worry about what I ate or drank and just had a great time. I gained about 2 pounds that weekend, but it quickly fell off when I got back to focusing and the…

Glad to help! If you need anymore Orlando advice just let me know! Been here 22 years now

Try to make sure you that you only increase your miles about 10% week over week, so if you ran 3 miles this week try not to do more than 3.3 miles the following week and so on. Any other increase could cause serious injury. I'm not an expert mind you, but that's the rule I've generally always gone with.

I listen all of the time on the drive in and out of work, but usually it's talk/news radio so I can keep up with traffic. If it's not during a work day I've got the Satellite radio rocking to Alt Nation or The Spectrum, so I keep up with music pretty well.

I think generally everyone who has ever allowed themselves to get overweight did so because of either mental or emotional blockages which they used food to compensate for. I think that's what he means, you can figure it out, but at some point something is going to trigger the initial response that craved/utilized the food…

Looks like they have a junior ride along program: http://www.drivepetty.com/media-center/press-release/rpde-announces-“junior-ride-alongs”-at-walt-disney-world-speedway

Daytona is about an hour and a half away from Disney (assuming that's where you are going) and a VERY straight shot down I-4. Disney also has the Richard Petty Driving Experience, not sure what it offers for an 8 year old, but it's worth checking out. http://www.drivepetty.com/race-tracks/orlando-walt-disney-world-speedway

I hear they aren't as bad as you fear, here is a great account of it from Mark Cuban, every time I know someone who is going for their first I send them this blog entry. http://blogmaverick.com/2007/06/14/my-colonoscopy/

Same, made my wife get rid of her cats when she moved in with me (my mom and sister are allergic, can't have a house where my mom and sister can't come visit).

My ex wife told me I was too fat to have sex with while she was dumping me. I was 5'11" and about 200lbs.

If you can't splurge from time to time what's the point of living? Weight yourself and see how bad it was and then refocus to get the pounds you just put on right off. Trust me, the ones that just came on will fall off almost as quickly.
