It is definitely a little intimidating to go into a gym at first. I had some of the same apprehensions. At somewhere along the way, I finally decided that I could care less what anybody in the gym thought of me. I put on comfortable clothing and just focused on my workout. I mean, seriously, think about it, who cares what…

Some of my favorite non-dairy substitutes: Mashed potatoes using non dairy creamer and soy butter. (You can't even tell the difference) Soy&C0. soy yogurt Almond ice cream

No. I wouldn't sign up in a million years. There are many other ways to achieve physical fitness goals.

I don't like the mentally ill guy who talks to himself all the time. Everybody says he is "really nice," but when I see him, he is always going "expletive this and expletive that." It's a little unnerving because I have had a couple of bad experiences with mentally ill people. I also don't like the bathroom habits of some…

Kind, funny, health conscience, compassionate and a saver in regards to finance.

So sorry to hear that. Maybe she has an alterior motive. Maybe she was jealous. Maybe, in some sick, twisted way, she was trying to motivate you. It angers me to hear the way she treated you. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. The bottom line is that we all need to be around good, positive and supportive people.…

My second all time favorite is from the "Exorcist." "Your mother sucks c__ks in Hell!" Linda Blair

The best thing to do is eat right consistently. It doesn't do much good to do a "master cleanse" and then go back to eating a bunch of junk.

I have fasted on three occasions over the last month because of a medical condition. I have lost maybe a couple pounds, but for the first time in my life I can see the beginning of an outline on the V part of my abs. My muscles have lost a little bit, but I definitely look much more defined. Personally, I think it is good…

Bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich with avocado slices or Avocado dip 1 avocado a few diced up tomatoe chunks pinch of ground cummin pinch of taco seasoning or make your own squeeze of lime chopped up fresh cilantro a 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle salt Too bad I don't have the exact ingredients. It kind of depends on your taste…

Definitely consult with a doctor first. A guy I used to work with was about 100 pounds overweight and he started running. He was 47 years old. While jogging, he had a massive heart attack and was dead before he hit the pavement.

i tend to look at the register to see how much they are spending.

Wrongo BIG TIME. The government is required to help with the "general welfare" of its citizens. It's in the Constitution. Or did you NOT READ IT? I am getting sick of you people who totally hate the U.S. government, but are pro war and pro military and want the U.S. government to kill people, but not HELP people.

Maybe I missed something, but is there some kind of debate about the negative effect of massive amounts of processed sugar on a person's health? I thought diabetes and high blood pressure were major health issues affecting this nation. Did I miss something? Maybe you could fill me in.

The government regulates tobacco use, alcohol use, seatbelt laws, helmet laws, etc. I don't have any problem with them limiting the size of a drink that is intentionally designed to cause health problems. The people who sell these drinks only care about how much money they can get. They don't care about the health of their…

Fortunately, I live in San Diego which has some of the best weather in the world. The environment is conducive to bike riding, surfing, swimming, running, etc. I have a couple dogs that I have to walk every day. That is one way to get some added excercise. Find friends who do athletic things like playing soccer or softball…

But your body process different foods at a different rate. I notice that my weight loss varies more depending on the foods I eat compared to the simple calorie count. I see it in my diet every day. I can go way over on my calories if I eat cooked vegetables and fruit and still lose weight. If I eat junk, my weight stays…

Good solid thread. Thanks OP. I have always thought there HAD to be a DIFFERENCE between eating 200 calories from chocolate cake compared to 200 calories worth of asparagus or spinach or something like that.

A chick at the gym referred to Madonna and Nirvana as the "oldies." The transmission in my car is older than my ex-wife. Most kids today have never heard of "Hee-Haw."

Thank you for the thoughtful post. You are right; we should appreciate what we have. In some parts of the world, the struggle for food is a daily struggle for existence. Not only that, the food that we consume is taken from another--a farmer has to grow and harvest the food often with his or her own hands, workers need to…

There is nothing more important than money.

I started taking Vega whole food health optimizer by Sequel. It has Omega 3 and 6 EFA, enzymes, probiotics, protein, phytonutrients, alkaline-forming, antioxidants, iron and fiber, gluten free. It is very strong stuff. I take a half serving every day. The taste is not so great, but I have seen people mix it with…

I am hoping to make today the first day of a new vegan lifestyle. I have some B-12 and iron supplements and I am using the Vega WHole Food Health Optimizer for protein and nutrition. Also just ordered the Vega Vanilla protein powder. Saving the planet one animal at a time.

I just ordered some of the vanilla protein powder from the Vega website. It had some pretty good reviews on Amazon.com

Yes. I am familiar with Brandon Brazier. My wife made me aware of him a couple of years ago. I should get the book.

I like my women like I like my whiskey shots--fast, hard and without a chaser!!

I have a history of getting involved with bad girs--women with tattoos, heavy drinkers, truck drivers, nail salon chick, married women, even a mental hospital escapee. I still have a weak spot for hot women with mental illness. Just being honest. But right now, I can't afford those kind of women because it always turns out…

If you place a baby rabbit in front of a "meat eater," it will invariably pounce on it, grip it with sharp claw and proceed to rip it to shreds with canines and a mouth filled with sharp (not flat) teeth, then will proceed to eat the entire thing, hair, bones, etc. raw (no cooking, no baking, no putting it in the…

I recently heard that a good, deep professional massage is good for relieving fibremialga pain.
