Ha! Yoga X! Wow, I tried it for the first month, but it freaked me out. High speed/impact yoga, wasn't really my thing. I ended up skipping it whenever it came up in my rotation, and replaced it with a nice long, relaxing walk/jog........I know that's really off your topic of the shoulder thing, but I don't think I missed…

Bump for later

Wow! Well done, and thanks for sharing.

12 pages of Friday joy! You ladies all look amazing! Jaws will be dropping on beaches around the world.....

sunshine and lollipops..........

I may say to much here, but what the heck its the internet, it's not like a mob with torches and pitchforks will come for me....I think. 1) Darling, I'm a dirty old man for saying this, but if you're skinny fat then I've got a serious thing for skinny fat girls. Which is totally new for me! I always liked athletic and you…

Nope, not solar powered, but that's pretty funny! However, our bodies have a natural rhythm and night shifts, or shift work in general play havoc with that. Sleep, and quality sleep, are important for overall health, not just weight loss. Try screwing around with your sleep patterns and just see how you feel physically,…

Uh yeah....you look.....wow! Words fail. Stunning. Amazing. I'll put it this way....I hate the fact you have in-laws! :smile: As for the bikini selection.....pink, and the black boy shorts with the tankini.

Negativity.

Damn right you should jump in on this!!!! My favorite thread of all time, 'cept the continuous cold showers since Friday have been killing me! Don't know about your screen name...Buff yes....cupcake not so much...buffcowgirl might be a better one. You look....delicious...can I say that? :devil:

^^^^^^^THIS! THIS! THIS! That is the description of a true lady!

Some folks say that I'm "egotistical" well I don't even know what that means I guess it has something to do with the way that I fill out my skintight blue jeans. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cos I get better looking each day Bless you Mac Davis!…

MsKourtney, you need to stop these posts...Friday its Good Looking, Hardworking woman, now this. My jaw is sore from laughing, I'm wrinkly as hell from the now....6 cold showers.....and you've managed to draw me in to commenting on a topic where the two choices are absolutely equal. My brain can't handle it! As a…

I have to stop coming back to this thread!!!!!! I just got out of a cold shower, and back in I go again :grumble: That red dress.......edit* yeah, the black one too....:devil:

OP I don't know you from a hole in the ground, but you start the best posts!!!! I seem to have found this late, but my, my, my...you ladies are amazing! I hate to single anyone of you out, but Jules2Be.....well, I have to keep this clean don't I. Madame you are in incredible shape! Beautiful figure, wonderful legs :tongue:…

Dude, you may not like my post on this, and normally I wouldn't respond to something along these lines. I'm a big believer in live and let live, allow people to do what they want, it's their life. However, the rapid weight loss you want to achieve is only possible for a short time. Your body will rebel. I don't think…

I weigh every morning right after waking up, and log it on a spreadsheet. Then at the end of every week, at the bottom of the column it averages the weights for the week. That's my official "weight" for the week. For me, personally, there were just too many variables to trust the once a week weigh in. I do body…

If by a length of time, you mean a month...then yeah...I've done it. I don't think I have a weak core, but I did have a sore lower back, and for me, after a couple of days my feet were killing me. I got one of those comfort mats for the area, but it didn't make any difference. After our "experiment", I went with a…

So I woke up this morning, ate breakfast and saw this thread....I hope the bachelorette party was a blast and that the hangover is survivable! For the ladies who like their men dressed up.... For the lovely lady who asked for a cowboy hat.... And of course one for my own vanity.... Fun thread! Great work guys and happy…

Ahhh.....there's the tough one. Can you say anything? Should you say anything? Do you even have a right to say anything? It's not just the men, its the ladies too. My ex-wife....well, lets just say that there was a parade for a while. No easy answer there, but the boys will let him know what and whom they are comfortable…

Gents'! Glad to see other "old timers" have similar goals to mine. I left Army (Canadian) boot camp at a solid 185, and then jump school at a ripped and damn fine 160 if I do say so myself! After I got out, and said I was never running or working out again, I kept eating the way I did when I was 17 to 25. You just can't do…

Run.....now!

Yes, first line. Mutually agreed on activiity. Mutual as in she knows she's going to this scenic spot. Not after she's in the car. "Say, how about we drive to xxxxxx and eat the picnic lunch I just happened to pack in case you wanted to grab a bite of lunch..." after you get in the car, is not necessarily the best method…

Oh how I hated it when my turn came up on the duty roster for that! :smile:

Retired military here, and former shift worker, so brother I feel your pain! My answer would depend on what it is you are doing. Are you in the field? Are you doing a fire picket? Are you on watch, patrol, OP or LP duty? There are, as you know, a number of different reasons to be up for 24, 36, and even 72 hrs straight in…

@OP Great post! I love people who keep records of what they've done, and what changes have occurred as a result. Isn't self experimentation a great thing? I'm a huge coffee drinker in the mornings, and green tea in the afternoons. I'm going to try switching completely to green tea for a month, just to experiment on myself.…

Believe it or not, I had a endocronolgist tell me that artificial sweetners interfere with the burning of body fat. I took the advice to stop with the diet pop after hitting a plateau that lasted around three months, and dropped six pounds within 2 months. It got right me right back on track. I have no idea if its a…

Now this cracked me up! I hate to be a joke thief, but I gotta use this one sometime. Mind if I steal it? I'll attempt to give credit, but depending on the laughs....I can't guarantee I will! My favorite stupid/funny comment is, "Abs?Abs? Why the hell would a 43 year old guy want abs? Your a** is disappearing, worry about…

@soulnyc.....I follow the same plan as honkytonks, so I'm going to jump in. I only do it once a week, because that's what works for me and feels natural. Frankly, there wasn't anything tough about it starting. I simply extended my natural overnight fast, there was very little toughness to it. I drink a liter of water when…
