Coca-Cola can dissolve pennies, remove burnt-on grease from pans, remove oil stains from pavement and other hard surfaces, remove corrosion from car batteries, polish most types of metal, and clean out car engines. Yet many people consume gallons of it daily. Not to say that makes it healthy, but hundreds of millions of…

I would like to point out that I look very thin in my profile pic. That is all.

Sorry if that was already asked and answered, it's a big thread and there's a lot of editing happening.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but ... so, if a man dropped his pants and used it for what it was "designed" to do, that would be perfectly acceptable? FTR, I don't have an issue with public breastfeeding but I realize some people do, and you can't really legislate how people will react when it happens. And while I…

I have between 40 and 60 more lbs of fat to drop, but I've been lifting semi-seriously for the past 8 months and have been careful to keep my protein intake very high and not drop my cals too low. My weight hasn't changed and my clothes seem to fit about the same, but I can tell I have added some muscle to my chest, back,…

Trying to figure out what this thread is missing..... ....ah, I've got it....

Win. :)

People realize that pictures of boobs account for approximately 97.4% of all internet content, right? (the other 2.6% being pictures of cats) Just sayin'...

That's not really what I meant by "maintenance". Think of it from the man's perspective - and I don't mean for that to come off as jerkish, I'm just trying to explain the context of my comment. I don't really care how much time she spends putting herself together as long as she doesn't need me to stand there and watch or…

The vast majority of men do not want high maintenance ladies. Ladies, if you're going to insist on being high maintenance, you should be prepared to justify it. He's going to need a lot of convincing to believe it's worth the effort. You know what I mean....

The internet can't watch your form and make sure you're doing your things properly, and most of the time you can't do it yourself by checking the mirrors - most times, if I'm looking in the mirror at the gym while lifting it means I've got my head/neck twisted or craned in a potentially harmful position. And the angles…

Native English (both Ye Olde English and Amurrkan English), fluent Spanish. I can understand Italian, French, and Portuguese pretty well from the Spanish fluency, but I can't speak them.

Ooh goodie, more people who know everything about everything. What an informative thread this has been. :laugh:

I miss the way fast food tastes, but I've found that I feel like absolute garbage if I eat a big greasy meal like I used to do twice every day, like I've been shot in the butt with a tranq dart. I had definitely adapted to eat that stuff every day, and now if I go back and overindulge I feel so disgusting afterward that it…

Whig.

I have a similar problem - I am a side/stomach sleeper, and my body got used to sleeping with my arm propped up on my flank. Now there's no flank and I have to put a pillow under my arm or I wake up with a sore shoulder.

Choice of gyms can go a long way - Gold's is generally full of hardcore weightlifter types, so it might not be a comfortable environment for a person that's just starting out. I used to have a Planet Fitness membership, and they are very laid back. You can and should do a trial membership at a few different places. Most…

Boo, you snuck in ahead of me whilst I was IMG tagging! :p

The "getting better" part. :) It does get better, but the "old you" is never completely gone. I know that's not exactly what you were trying to say, but I wanted to express the idea that there will always be remnants of our former selves that we carry with us, both internally and externally.
-
I'd say I agree, and disagree. It gets better but it's always there, at least as a reminder. Over the course of the last 10 years, I lost about 120 pounds, then I gained back 130 pounds, and have now lost back about 110 pounds. I've been at about the same weight for 2 years now, doing the slow fat burn and muscle build.…

You can put vodka in your ice tray but it won't freeze, so it depends on whether you consider really cold vodka to be water. The freezer is the best place to store your hard liquor for exactly this reason. Just sayin'....

Have you been eating a lot of helium? Did you put your poop (and a half pound of someone else's poop) in your pocket before you got on the scale? Did you have a lot of TP remnants left behind? Does your toilet empty onto your scale when you flush? ...just brainstorming here...

I broke my elliptical last year - apparently going well over the weight limit for 30-60 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week was not good for it...the roller wheels basically disintegrated. So I FIXED it! And it shall live on forever! :) Not sure what's wrong with your elliptical but are you sure it's not salvageable? I had to…

Relax. Get a good night's sleep. Get on with your life tomorrow. You didn't do anything that is going to impact you long-term. People gain body fat by binging every day over weeks and months and years. Just get back on the wagon tomorrow and you'll be fine. If you try to "compensate" by doing massive amounts of cardio…

Careful, you're on the cusp of offending Baby Seal Americans....

Judging from the number of metric progress banners people have on their posts, I would say that no, we are not all Americans....
