  • I had two of the worst addictions. Booze and cigarettes. I gave up smoking 5 months ago, very difficult. I had to use medicine (Chantix) to be successful, but I've stuck to it. Now I've turned my attention to Booze. I'm ten days sober for the first time in 6 years. And, in case anyone needs motivation, I've lost 5 pounds…
  • The recommended weight loss maximum is 2 pounds per week. I know it's frustrating to know it will be many months if not years to reach the fitness level you want, but it really is the only healthy way. As for the weight training, here's the issue: when you lose weight, you lose both lean muscle and fat. Training your…
  • Currently 175, high fat percentage. I've actually stalled my fat reduction because I don't have enough lean mass. My body doesn't want to lose any more so it's shutting down. I'm looking to bulk some lean mass so I can lose some more fat. My biggest issue is that I've been on a low calorie diet so long to try and lose that…

  • My friend named her son Andrew, but several of us call him Ender.
  • I'll be there, this will be the first time. It's not the type of con I usually go to; I prefer anime and gaming cons, but I missed out on getting PAX Prime tickets and this was on the same weekend. I'm sure I'll find something great about it.
  • I help people re-program credit card terminals. They are kind of like computers, in the same way that Power Wheels are like cars. :) Still, the atmosphere is geeky enough; every desk has a set of bucky-balls or two, and I can count 4 articles of clothing around right now that are from thinkgeek.com.

  • MMOs will have to wait, I have WAY too many single player games to finish. Thank you and curse you, Steam Summer Sale.
  • My name is Jeremy, and my superpower is resolving arguments. I really should have been a police negotiator, but instead I work in tech. I guess I can resolve arguments between different computers too. I'm also an Avid gamer.
