We all evolve and grow as people, well, most of us :laugh: If you want a relationship, you have to make yourself available to meet prospective partners. It may not be comfortable, but you have to come to terms with it. For me I learned to put myself out there, I gained confidence in myself, but granted I'm much older and I…

I agree with a great deal of the paleo diet, but not all of it. Cave men cooked food, so the whole, "can you eat it raw" doesn't apply in my book. Like anything, take the good parts and skip the bad ones. As to the above post about carbs, carbs can be good or bad depending on where you get them. The biggest thing I take…

About the comment on the 1st page about removing the skin from some of the items you juice, actually, that's a dumb generalization because it really depends on the fruit or veggie and if it is organic. Apples for instance, get waxed in normal processing, and it's better to remove them. Also, lemon peel will make your juice…

I've had some great dates, met some interesting people...honestly, people are people. You can meet good or bad people in person, online, thru friends...so I would ignore the stigma some people have for it and just treat it as another means to meet people. Just read up on "online dating tips" because there may be some…

I tried using it, but the app didn't seem very intuitive at the time I tried it. I ended up just using Labrada's Lean Body plan in the workout plan area and found it to be pretty darn good. I was getting good results from it....would have been better if I could nail down my food intake. I'm not much for veggies or…

While it may net results, I think you are better off just incorporating it partially into your life. Make changes that are sustainable. After I watched it, I wanted incorporate juicing into my plan, but I knew I'd never go all juice. For me, it was more about getting all the great nutrients from the veggies since I hate…

Also....just offset the pizza by working out to burn the extra calories...now there's a novel idea!

Don't be afraid to go over & enjoy yourself now & then. If you get hit by a bus, you would regret not enjoying your favorite foods in moderation from time to time.

The Silk brand is tasty! I buy that, and almond milk for various things. Almond milk is lower in cals & I use it with my protein shakes. Coconut milk I drink straight with meals or when I have a craving for something sweet.

Didn't have a problem when I was heavier, and surely don't have one now. I'm doing it for me, all the rest is just nice side benefits.

Well, I hope all of you have better luck than the ladies I know in my area. Most of them that lost weight for the wedding, put weight back on once they started their new married life. The ones that were aleady active before hand are still about the same size as when they were married, even my one friend that had a baby.…

I would first suggest change the reason for the weight loss from "to look good in my dress or for pictures" to "I want to live a healthy lifestyle & be healthy for myself and my partner." Why put in all the hard work just to baloon back up afterwards? Work towards establishing a healthy lifestyle that sticks instead of…

What she said! Also, if no one ever calls these people out on their B.S., they will just continue to act in such a manner. I would have asked her what made her feel this was "HER" machine? Perhaps just wave from your butt to her face and say "I fart in your general direction."

And this is why I'm jaded with dating these days. If I wanted to be treated like a ATM or meal ticket, I'd just go to a strip club.

Substitute your ground turkey for super lean ground beef, and you will have a better burger ;) http://news.menshealth.com/are-turkey-burgers-really-healthier/2012/02/16/

Caffeine in moderation will not dehydrate you, so you could likely include it in your water intake if you were so inclined. I personally like to drink a lot of water to filter out the little coffee/tea I drink. I look at water as a good way to help my body filter out & pass the toxins from my body. If you just get in the…

They have those little under desk cycles, well, you can set it on a table top & cycle with your hands. Resistance bands, dumb & kettle bells, seated dips, pushups on your knees....there's plenty to do if you are able to move around without causing too much pain to your feet.

Syntha 6 chocolate & vanilla both taste good in water, and Labrada's Pro 8 vanilla tastes great in water, milk, coconut milk, what ever!

Because I'm selective about who I spend my time with. Time is our most valuable commodity, don't waste it on someone that isn't worth you time. I spent too much time trying to make a doomed relationship work, so I have applied my life lessons and know what I want/don't want in a partner now. Do I want to find love and be…

I'm Marc, and I approve this post, it is full of win! The next step is a product called "The Intruder", I think it comes with elbow & knee pads, a crash helmet, and has both electric & kick start.

My knees don't agree with running so much, although after having my ACL reconstructed, I'm able to run again, just not nearly at the pace or distance I once did. I suggest mixing it up a great deal. You can be fit in some regards from running, but the minute you try to do an activity that requires muscle strength/stamina,…

Here's a good article: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/03/01/a-beginners-guide-to-crossfit/ The only thing I don’t like about crossfit is the timed or high rep Olympic lifts. You can scale everything in crossfit, meaning you can lift less and “modify” the RX WOD (prescribed workout of the day). It is mostly dangerous…

As said above, if you are living a balanced life, it's not cheating. Work hard, so you can play hard. Eat well most of the time so you can indulge now and then without guilt. People die all the time that are fit & healthy, so why skip out on indulging in healthy moderation?

Not sure if you can see my bio, but I would hate to be the weight my BMI says I should be. I'd actually like go GAIN weight, and lower my body fat percentage. Today I was 217 and when i checked my BF a couple days ago it was around 20.5-21% if I recall.....I'd love to be about 225 and about 10-12%. I have work to do!…

He could be super shy, maybe he likes you but doesn't dip his pen in company ink....if you aren't againt work relationships, go for it....I'd rather fail & move on than have regrets because I didn't at least try.

Honestly, meat isn't that high in calories in my opinion unless you are also accounting for sauces & marinades put on them. Grilled meat with dry seasoning for the most part are low in calories. Perhaps your portions are skewed.

Depends on what your goals are. Drinking a bottle of red is roughly about 600 empty calories. http://www.livestrong.com/article/523115-what-happens-if-you-drink-alcohol-after-working-out/ And also just google "alcohol after a workout" and there are other interesting articles. I know I have far better results and my…

Shenanigans!

Embrace it, then they can't use it against you....like the gimp said on Game of Thrones. Have fun with it, tell them they shouldn't be looking at your crotch so much to come up with nick names for you....and XL is better than XXL, I know because I'm down a shirt size! The thing about fat people and jerks is, fat people can…

Yes, Yoovie nailed it. For me, I can think someone is hot, but so much more attraction comes from that connection you have with a partner (when you are with the RIGHT partner). Also, NOT being insecure usually ups your attractiveness level as well, so not being all insecure when around people you may "think" are more…
