I'm an engineer so it's not exactly the same - I'm an adequately PAID math nerd.

Mosquito = vector? Howzat?

Mwahahaha

There's about a 40% chance that 20 different people posting in this thread have the same birthday. Prove or disprove!

Um ... I like bacon. Feel free to bring that deliciousness over HERE.

I call it "eating healthy stuff."

Since you're a guy and seem like you want a "guy's book" I'llrecommend Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy. No trilogy. No recurring characters. One and done - the entire story is encompassed in one book. Granted, it's a lengthy book, but it has a multitude of intriguing stories. It's especially thrilling if you're at all…

Yes. The end.

The swiffer wet jet stuff after I mop the floor. Febreeze Sauteed garlic and onions just before putting meat in the pan Freshly baked homemade pumpkin pie Freshly cleaned sheets the first time you use them after doing the laundry Spices for Indian cuisine

The Game of Thrones Living Card Game Dominant Species. Oh ... you meant video games. I'm an uber geek - I play with cards and cardboard.

I think that once you get to the gym, you'd be surprised to see what the demographics are of the people that go there. Everyone at the gym is really there for the same reasons you are - physical fitness. I am by no means a ripped bodybuilder - I'm an average Joe with a gut who is trying to lose that gut. I focus on why *I*…

Halloween. It gives women the excuse to dress like complete skanks and get away with it. I am a happy observer.

What do I think of them? I don't call them "interracial relationships" ... I call them ... relationships.

I try not to deny my cravings. I just eat things in moderation. Portion control is the key for me. I have a day of the week where we all go to a local pub and I eat some wings and maybe half a portion of cheese curds, but I track it and still try to stay under my calorie limit. It wrecks my sodium for the day, usually, but…

I run and tell my mom that they're LOOKING at me again.

the weight thing is obviously projection. She sees you working hard to lose weight and is likely guilty that she isn't doing the same since she apparently needs it. The antagonistic attitude toward your job performance might also be an indicator of that too. Maybe it makes her feel better about her own inability to lose…

1) Lots of fruit. Mix it up here. Grapes, cherries, apples, oranges. So many great choices and so much variety with not many calories. 2) Almonds. Not too many, but they're a great crunchy/salty snack and loaded with nothing but good stuff. Just watch the portions. 3) Cut up vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, cauliflower…

If all you care about is to drop pounds regardless of those pounds being muscle or fat, then diet will get you there. I wouldn't recommend skipping exercise, though. Exercise makes you healthier and makes you keep more muscle and burn more fat.

I think you should take credit for every pound he loses until he starts to actively participate. In that case, congratulations on that 33 pounds that YOU have been responsible for! Keep at it!! Being a husband myself, I'd be rather ashamed if I didn't at least acknowledge my wife's accomplishments. She's on here too and…

Why is it crazy? You're assuming that I know what you mean when you say "HIIT" and spelling out the acronym does nothing to help explain it or explain why it's the proper thing to do for fat burn. Also - are you a professional trainer? I was hoping the forums would be helpful but it seems that my best bet is to use google…

I just started doing this two weeks ago. I am, admittedly, new to the whole concept of weightlifting. I don't want "show." I want to assist in my fat burning. I was told that lifting weights helps. Beyond that, people who lift weights often assume you know the details about lifting weights. In other words, weightlifters…

Channel the anger into workout intensity instead of binging I find a good bout on the treadmill to be particularly refreshing after some unneeded stress at work.

I usually drink it straight and like it that way, but sometimes to mix it up, I keep a bottle of realemon lemon juice in the fridge and just add a teaspoon or so to nt glass. The citrus taste is really refreshing especially after a workout.

Monday, Wednesday, Saturday. Nine different exercises. Three sets of 12 on each exercise. Is that a problem?

This might be news to you, but intelligent people who post here are looking for answers other than "duh - throw money at the problem." I also posted a more detailed description of my situation later for guys like you who are only here to state the obvious (and trolling) response. What value did your "go to a different gym"…

Simple cucumber/onion salad: 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced thinly 1 medium onion (yellow or vidalia if you like the kick) A couple of sprigs of fresh baby dill torn up into small sprigs 1/4 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup mayo (you can skip this if you don't want the creamy taste or the extra calories, but it is not that…

At my age I've learned that it's better to just not give a f*** about what other people are thinking. I'm the one out there trying to better myself. If someone out there decides to look at me and make fun of me to their friends, then THEY are the toolbag. Not me. I'm the one trying to get myself healthier and thus becoming…

perhaps I should have been a little more clear. if I could throw money as easily at the problem as some of you assume, i wouldn't have needed to post. Let me rephrase my conundrum with the actual limitations of real life rather than this fantasy land where everyone can supposedly afford everything they want at every moment…

Not particularly useful advice ...
