I'm 44 and I've lost 17lbs since Jan 1. I thought I'd lose 15 lbs the first month. Oh well, looks like I'm a tortoise and not a hare now. But if memory serves me right, I win the race this time.

Over the last 2 years I have incorporated kettlebells at home in addition to my gym workouts. I don't follow any specific commercial routine but I love doing one handed snatches and two handed swings. I am 6' 3" and 210 lbs and I started with 3 bells: 15, 25 and 35 lbs. Once I could do a one handed snatch 25 reps I…

I can't say I've broken caffeine, but I've broken soda.

you're half-way there with time to spare.

I aim for 6, but some weeks I can't seem to fit a rest day in and so I'll do 7.

I'm 44 and have no plans of going gently into the good night. Get moving with exercise. You'll never be younger than right now. Eat protein and foods lower on the glycemic scale, these foods will help to minimize the feeling of being hungry between meals. Emphasize whole foods. Nutritiondata.com is a great site for…

6'3, 210lbs 44 years old, 455lbs...it hurts, oh god it hurts.

Road bike and rollers. It's not for everyone because it's hard to balance, but if you can master it, there's no equal. Neighbor across the street had twins and had seen me riding mine. She asked to borrow it and stuck with it. She could ride it after about two weeks and finally bought her own. She easily lost 35lbs in 4…

Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour--I loved I am the Walrus and I still do.

1/2 cup egg beaters scrambled then wrapped in flatout flatbread lite: 22 grams protein, 3 grams fat, 17 carbs with 9 of those being fiber.

I have an obese cat. He's a Maine Coon Cat and weighs almost 30 lbs and all he ever eats is very expensive, organic cat food. (Sigh) I just don't think the cat food diet will work. But good luck!

Cytosport 100% Whey Protein at Costco 6lbs for $39.99. Tastes good and the price can't be beat.

I always log my beer calories early in the day so I know ahead of time where I stand with respect my net calorie count. One microbrew then a couple of Bud Selects at 55 calories each. They taste almost like beer and have just a little more alcohol than a non-alcohol beer with far fewer calories.

Smoke.

Let's see: hate Devils, hate Flyers, HATE Islanders. Oh that's right: LET'S GO RANGERS clap clap clap clap clap LET'S GO RANGERS....

I can't imagine going for a personal best on the deadlift and not making noise. On the other hand, it does get old watching guys screaming at each other when they're doing reps of 12.

Chia seeds, flat-out flatbread (9 grams fiber and 9 grams protein), low sodium V-8 and asparagus.

It sounds like your strength training doesn't have a plan or a goal. Try checking out the women and lifting thread.

Low sodium V-8. Great source of A and C and potassium.

Is everybody talking eating or netting? I'm pretty f%$#ing far from normal (pardon the Pulp Fiction reference), But I eat over 3K a day and try to net around 2.

It seems like the main reason I exercise (at least cardio) is for beer--I always put my anticipated beer calories in first thing in the morning. Btw, sorry for your loss,.

Oh, and if you are doing curls, movements like preacher curls are primarily peaking movements (once you already have good size). You'll get way more bang for the buck doing standing barbell curls and mixing up your grip width.

For me, I never spent too much time specifically training biceps. But when I did, I got my best results training biceps with chest and triceps with back (which is where your best bicep development should come). And I found less was more effective. But if you want size, you need to be prepared to gain weight. Well, most…

Funny, I can't stand fish unless it's sushi, then I can't get enough of it. Go figure.

They're real and they're spectacular.

Ha ha, Trophy. I was going to guess 1, but then I thought--I can't really just call this person I don't know a dirt eater.

Angel, I'd say that you're single (50/50 since mormon is spelled with an o and not an a).

Trophy, 3 is true.

colie, 2 is true (too outrageous otherwise).
