I think you really hit the nail correctly with your comment. "It is because he is happy, confident and isn't interested." I experienced the same thing when I was married. It was common for women to hit on me in the supermarket. They would just suddenly happen to show up right next to me in the aisle and smile. We would say…

This is a valuable thread with a lot of good information on it. I dabble in vegetarianism because ultimately, I would like to give up eating meat in the future when I am ready. I take a whey protein powder for most of my protein needs. I also recently started taking an iron supplement. 325 mg ferrous sulfate. A six month…

I take magnesium citrate about 3 times per year. You can buy it at Rite Aid or CVS for about $2.99. It basically wrings out your colon and cuases you to eject about 1 1/2 gallons of sewer water. If you take it, don't make plans for at least 4 hours and make sure you drink a gallon of water to rehydrate. I follow it up with…

Start out light until you are comfortable with the excercise. I see guys in the gym using poor form, but hefting up heavy weights. You are better off doing it right. I often use lighter weights and like to go to 12 to 15 repetitions. Sometimes I do as many as 10 sets. I don't care what anybody says, doing 200 repetitions…

I like a woman who is kind, liberal, friendly and connected to the world around her. I like a woman who likes my 70s music. I like women who like dogs. I like feminists and hippie chicks. I especially like women who stand up for others and themselves. Unselfishness is the highest level of human achievement. I also like…

He's not supposed to be watching porno until AFTER he is married. I would dump him.

This has happened to me twice this year. I get stuck on the same weight for almost 2 months, then suddenly I start losing almost a pound a day for a week. I would recommend just sticking it out. Right when you are at your most frustrated, the weight will start melting off. Then you will hit another plateau.

I stopped eating white rice because it increases the risk of diabetes. I go with the long grain brown which is loaded with complex carbohydrates and doesn't give you a sugar spike.

Did she use anesthesia?

Sweat and sleepiness. When I feel like sleeping the entire afternoon.

Ugh, barf! That explains why I am getting smaller and smaller.

They increase your metabolic rate and have a lot of complex carbohydrates and protein. They are also a delicious source of high fiber.

Ding dongs! Next time you want some chips, just eat 3 packages of Ding Dongs instead. Did that help?

When I first started, I used a 20 pound dumbell for curls and I did a lot of pushups. For a beginner with a small home gym, I recommend lots of incline pushups, curls, dips (if you have a bench), deadlifts (but don't go to heavy to start), body squats--basically placing your feet shoulders width apart and kneeling, then…

That's a tough one. I would recommend going lighter on the squats. I prefer the bodysquat where I kneel down as far as I can. I like to do 10-12 sets of 10 repetitions. I find that heavier weights are hard on my knees. Another possibility is using the squat machine where you lay down and push up with your legs. I'm not…

Don't forget to wear Depends, so you won't have to pull over to use the bathroom.

My record is driving from Portland to New York City (3000 miles) in 3 days. You can drive 900 miles in one day, but you need to get up really, REALLY early and bring lots and LOTS of coffee. Get a big fat thermos. Take cat naps. Pull over and sleep for 15 minutes when you get too tired to drive.

For vanilla, you could add dates, bananas and/or honey.

For a whole pizza, I would recommend a bottle of magnesium citrate (CVS $2.99) or an 1/8 cup of psyllium whole husks with a big bottle of fruit juice like apple juice (real stuff) or pineapple coconut juice. If you really want to do a cleanse, try both, but don't make any plans for the evening.

Whey protein. There is a good product called "Vega" that provides a super-healthy protein drink for vegans. That would be the best option for you, I believe.

That is really common. It's almost like you are coming down from a high on a type of drug. For me, the better the workout, the bigger the downer the next day is. I seem to have no energy. I recorded it in my journal and realized that it happens every single time.

This is the my favorite tuna salad sandwich recipe. You don't have to use all the ingredients, but it is good if you can. 1 can of tuna drained (preferably albacore) 2 tablespoons of sliced black olives (need to use good quality brand) 2 teaspoons of your favorite light mayonaise 2 tablespoons of relish A splash of lemon…

Frankenstar by Public Enemy. It gets me pumped up and p'd off!!

Wrong. Higher reps builds muscle. Lower reps and higher weights build strength. Sometimes, I do 150 reps, but I rest 2 minutes between sets. 10 sets of 15 reps. You do that and your veins will be popping out of your body. Get a bench if you can. You can do dips and incline pushups. Get some dumbells. I like the…

Superpump 250 will take care of that problem in no time.

I dabble in vegetarianism, but haven't completely given up meat, although I have cut back alot and would like to give it up someday. Here are a few of my favorite vegan foods--Nature's Path organic waffles, Earth balance soy butter, Whole Soy Inc-- organic soy yogurt, and Boca veggie burgers. If you want some really…

The real question that comes to mind is why. Why? How does cardiovascular excercise affect your intestinal health. There seems to be a direct connection. I wonder if there is a rush of arterial blood into that area that causes it to move or something like that or is it the motion of the abdominal muscles. I have the same…

My forties have been the best time of my life. I eat better, I am healthier, I am smarter, stronger, more money. You should have your head screwed on pretty good by the time you are in your forties so it is time to enjoy life. Have fun!!! Your life is just getting started. You will see what I mean, soon.

I try to eat as clean as possible, but every once in awhile, I have to have a chip or a personal pizza or deli sandwich. I don't know why I am like that. For me, "clean" is eating high quality complex carbohydrates (brown rice, yams, peas, etc.) with a zero cholesterol protein shake. It has been very effective at losing…
