I've heard it said the the best way to fight depression is to do something for someone else, a wife, a girlfriend, a family member, a co-worker or even a complete stranger. It may depend a lot on the level of depression though. Professional help may be advised for serious levels of depression and saddness. Take a look at…

Thanks for the thread ladies! Remember.... if you want to make 5 pounds of fat look good, put a nipple on it!

I hate lunges. I hate them even when I use an aid to help me balance. I do my strength training using a Totalgym which is nice because I can vary the level of weight by using different angles but not with the lunges. That's ALL my weight on the knee joint. I found this webpage about substituting something in place of…

I might be a little odd but I always liked Costner's "The Postman" in this genere.

The few reviews I've seen of this book gives me the impression it is just erotica disguised as a romance novel so what you have is a double foray into non-reality. I'm reading O'Reilly's "Killing Lincoln" myself.

I have heard it said you should do strength truing first. It burns up all the available glucose to give you maximum effort on your lifts. Then follow it with cardio to force the body to draw more on the fat reserves. As to logging, I go to the blue exercise tab. Under "Cardiovascular" I select "add exercise." MFP gives me…

You might want to try a google search for "alternative to tummy tuck", etc. and see what's out there. I found this but can't say if it actually works or not. http://www.aima4u.com/a-20-minute-alternative-to-a-tummy-tuck/

Some reasons from your own home page..... ...Myself - I've done so much, I can do this too! ...My Son - He deserves someone that can run for an hour or whatever playing games. ...I want to say "I made it better, by myself, for myself" ...I really, really, really dislike how big my *insert-bodypart-here* is!! I've had a few…

The weekends are hard on me and I don't do any alcohol or desserts. I think my problem is just snacking. I am learning as I try to get to my weight goal how to control that snacking when I am at home. For some reason, I have no desire to snack at work or during the day on the weekends. There is something in the evenings…

Considering the injury you mentioned, I am thinking your question might be better answered by asking a certified physical therapist what would be wise for you. I myself have a TotalGym, a Smooth Fitness elliptical and an Ab-Lounger. When I first got the Ab-Lounger I was barely able to do 50 reps. After a while I got to 500…

I saw that comment. Don't let it upset you. You are really very pretty.

This fitness trainer shows how to do some inner thigh exercises. http://www.ehow.com/video_8213289_do-do-inner-thigh-exercises_.html

Wow! My computer screen just melted!!! lol... I like the second one for two obvious reasons I guess I should not mention. Truth is you look great in both. Congrats for being is such great shape.

^This.... Going to a restaurant and not feeling guilty. I see so many guys (and gals) going into those places that should be embarassed to order anything more than a salad. I use to be one of them. Now I don't mind getting a smaller cut of meat and steamed veggies instead of a loaded baked potato. Going to Wally World and…

I was sitting in my LazyBoy one evening and it dawned on me that my gut was becomming like a table for me to set things on but the Ah-Ha moment came a few weeks later when I was helping my brother put up a fence and our dad was helping us. We were all in t-shirts and someone took a photo. I saw my dad had a gut too and…

No. I don't agree with this at all. If this is the case with this guy, then his world revolves around him. What woman would want a schmuck like that?

Ok...now it sounds a little different. He tried kissing and my guess is he would have tried a lot more if you had let him. Then it's hard to say what would have happened but odds are it would have NOT gone the way you want. If he found you online, he may have found others and is getting what he wants there. Look.... if I…

You said you met him for an hour and everything was "fine". It may have been fine with you but it sounds like it was not fine with him. It sounds like you are interested but he isn't. Stop calling and texting. If he starts calling and texting you, it will put you back in the driver's seat. If he doesn't, move on and…

I think that drivers thinking bikes don't pay taxes is a lame argument. The bike rider most likely has a car at home and pays taxes and insurance. My gripe about bikes is that on our country roads, we often get a line of cars 5 and 10 deep behind these bikes as we wait for opportunities to get around them. One day a family…

I've only tried Amp Wheybolic in a cookies and cream or vanilla flavosr. They are fine by me. I usually just do one scoop right after my workout. I found out that mixing a little crushed ice in there and chilling it like that makes it even better

If your body is maintaining it's current weight on 2000 calories a day, then anything under 2000 is a caloric deficit. If you create a caloric deficit of 3500 calories a week, then your body will use other sources of calories to maintain equilibrium. Typically this is fat reserves but it is possible your body might start…

You might try here: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/weight-training-tips I'm an advocate of strength training to supplement my diet. Tony Venuto says that weight loss is due to diet 80% and exercise 20%. Strength training should tone you up and the muscle mass will bump up your metabolism from where you are. I…

I have a signed photo of my favorite Swamp People guys in my home gym. Both inspire me but in particular R.J. because he's closer to my age...

It's difficult working with the public. This gives me the chance to see the things that annoy cashiers and helps me to not do thsome of these things. For example, someone said don't leave the items in the hand-basket. I didn't know that. I thought leaving the items in the basket made it easier on them but just this week…

^ This! Yes, I weigh more than my wife by 90 lbs. I want to change that to about 50 to 60.

Muscle soreness brought on by a workout may be a product of lactic acid buildup. I have read that working out through the soreness brings blood into the muscles and helps reduce the lactic acid. Of course, working out also builds up more lactic acid as well but I workout through the soreness myself. However, if the…

Someone else posted this link about plateaus. I hope it helps you with yours. http://fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com/2011/05/most-dreaded-word-in-weight-loss.html

Hahaha!!!! When you hang your t-shirt up to dry and it forms a little puddle on the floor as it drips...

I read or heard somewhere that it takes 30 days for a new routine to become a habit. For 30 days you will need to really push yourself to go out and do your exercises and count your calories. After 30 days those things should start to become natural. According to Tom Venuto, weight loss is 80% diet and 20% diet so go easy…
