  • You have corporate minds behind them since the buyout by UA. So it's really not surprising. Some genius figured, "hey, this is the most used piece, let's add it to a really high membership that isn't worth the value and see if we can sell more memberships that way!" Meanwhile, they likely don't have a group that is…
  • I agree. And based on the number of pages on this post, I'm sure it's already said, but the barcode scanner is the only premium feature I would use. IF somehow the food database were accurate, *MAYBE* it would be worth the cost. But as it stands, much of the time it either brought up the wrong details or didn't scan at…
  • I love this bit of advice. The more things you try to change at once, the higher your probability for falling back into old ways. Make small, gradual changes. When you see that those are now habit, add something new and small into the mix. Before you know it, things have changed, you've changed, and you won't even realize…
  • As a few others have said... so MUCH THIS! It's one journey. From the time you start, until the time we move on from this realm. And that wagon is gonna break down from time to time. You just have to mend those broken parts and give a big ol' "HEEYAH!" back to those horses.
  • I'm at the same point as you. In the past, when I've done well with losing weight, I had something to focus on. For me, it was fighting and getting to as low a weight as possible (and still being in the infinite division). So I'd go for 4 or 5 months, drop 30-40 lbs, and then put it all back on. A big part of that was…
  • Cheers! Shots of Jame-o in your honor this weekend!
  • This. Be humble. Don't be a snob.
  • If they spell 'ridiculous' with an 'e' in it... yeah... that would pretty much seal their fate.
  • Definitely a BUMP!-worthy thread! Thanks!
  • Exactly. Do this in the workplace, whether it's wanted or not and see what happens. No means no. Simple as that. That aside, I agree with everyone here who said that punching him was not the best response to the initial touching and that you both have some maturing to do (no offense, but you are only 20). He probably finds…
  • Agreed. lol
  • Awesome job! Keep up the hard work and you'll reach your goal in no time!!!
  • Welcome back! :flowerforyou:
  • The biggest thing, in my opinion when you have some troll like this trying to bring you down, is to smile and laugh it off, even if on the inside it kills you. By taking public offense to it, you give them power to continue doing what they do. At some point, they will hopefully realize just how insignificant they truly are…
  • ^^ THIS... I have some friends who are in "open" relationships/marriages, and they have rules. The biggest thing is knowing what you're getting into and understanding each other's feelings. You have to truly be OPEN and HONEST about everything... feelings/emotions, sensations, everything. Otherwise someone WILL end up…
  • Thanks to acid reflux, I may have to very soon... but it will be tough. I've tried doing black teas (pretty damn potent as far as the caffeine is concerned, so it may not be as bad as I'd think. Especially with some of the blends at ArtofTea.com or Teavana.com.
  • hunka hunka BURNIN love!
  • Did he just bust out the Huey Lewis??
  • I find those who live a life of sobriety to truly be admirable. But we all have a vice of some sort. Good or bad. The issue is whether or not it's used as a crutch. Personally, I could definitely go without drinking, but I choose not to. I s'pose I'm what people would classify as a social binge drinker. I make it out once…
  • A big heaping dose of watermelon does wonders too! :bigsmile:
  • When I first tried Greek Yogurt, it caught me by surprise... all I could think of was "really thick sour cream"... then I realized how much I like sour cream. lol... I need to get a big tub of just plain greek yogurt and use it like that.
  • Personally, for me... it sucks. You're definitely using more, plus it's harder on the joints. On the treadmill I can easily jog a mile... recently for a fight camp, we had to do a mile run to get to the park we were training at and dear Lord... it was NOT fun. It seemed like my breathing was out of sync, joints hurt more…
  • It won't "add" them per se. but it will continually count based on your body parameters that you have programmed, whether you are sitting there or not. So if you have it on for a particular period of time, and have it tracking the exercise during that time, it should be fairly accurate (of course this could vary depending…
  • Wanted... for the exact reason you state. Being needed, in my mind, means that there is some innate purpose for me being in your life, and without me, you would have difficulty getting by. You need me because I have a vehicle, or money, or connections, or something. But if you want me, it's because you CHOOSE me. For no…
  • There was an article in Men's Health about the stress that marathon runners put on their heart... pretty scary that being "fit" can actually be harmful to our healthy. Sorry to hear of your cousin. But hopefully people understand the message and listen to their body.
  • So glad you went to the ER and got checked and that you are still here... I had suspected I had heart problems for years. Pain in the chest (usually very sharp and I could pinpoint almost exactly where it hurt), that radiated into the left arm and lower portion of the jaw on the left side. Went to the doc, did EKG and it…
  • This was my thinking as well. Heavysets are generally 4 rep MAX. So that is entirely possible. But the creepin peepers... depends on how bad it is. Could just be paranoia? But chances are, it most likely isnt, and that means others have likely already noticed and said something, and perhaps the gym doesn't see it as an…
