While the NCAA has made some silly decisions in the past (some rectified and some, not), is it really a huge deal? They aren't saying he can't be on the team, he simply can't compete. He can still attend school on a basketball scholarship and he can still practice with the team. Yes, sitting out for a season stinks but he…

You said you were entering college and were no longer going to be involved in sports. Firstly, there are always club or intramural sports at most colleges/universities. The end of HS isn't the end of sports, it's just a new path. I'm a coach. I've worked with athletes and coaches with Olympic Gold and Silver, I've worked…

Stripper name. Not oxymoron.

Porky Wilson Apparently I wouldn't get a lot of gigs....

If we are talking strictly cars here, I've done the driver change thing mentioned on pg. 1. The only difference is I was in the backseat and he transitioned first. In true teenage boy form, we sat back there and laughed at each other before he yelled, "Nobody's driving!" Also drove a car over a pedestrian overpass. Stopped…

The last piece to hit the floor

We'll agree to disagree. The OP is spinning wheels with food and exercise because of lack of discipline. Athletes can't execute a skill until someone helps/shows them what to do. Saying, "Stop making excuses" doesn't address why the excuses are being made. I will absolutely agree that in the end it's up to an individual to…

That's really an oversimplification of a larger issue. Plenty of people want things very badly. Some attain their goals, some don't. The difference between the two can certainly be drive but another aspect is learning. Discipline is learned, not born out of genetics. If one doesn't have discipline all the want in the world…

@Dizzy - Sarah Thought I'd make it someone's day who feels dumb after watching jeopardy. Mine should be easy. If not...hope you married up.

It wasn't diet coke for me but Squirt. I "had" to have it. Decided one day I was done with soda, completely. Dropped 5 pounds alone from cutting it out in the first couple of weeks avoiding it. That was eons ago and I've definately found a myriad of ways to get that 5 pounds back and not in a good way. I can honestly say…

I found one fast cure for eating McNuggets and that was to look at a naked nugget. I once peeled the breading off of one and I didn't touch another McNugget for over a year. There are times during the year when I'm on the road a lot. I go 2-3 weekends straight of not being home and in the summer, weekends turn into weeks…

Plz excuse the OT nature of this but...reading threads like this makes me really, really hungry. I stumbled upon one or a combination of things that absolutely killed my hunger last week. I was ready to swallow a cow when I pulled out a 1 oz. bag of pistachios from my backpack and then grabbed about ten leaves of fresh…

Firstly, congrats! Secondly, I love how I feel. I've been active (re-active) with MFP for two weeks now and have dropped 6 pounds (I only record once a week and I'm hoping these two pounds stay off through weeks end). That small amount has already made a big difference for me. I can feel it when I walk, run up steps, you…
