I concur with the poster above who suggested different exercises. Not just increasing intensity of the ones you already do. If you always do elliptical, try the stair climber, if you always go walking, try bicycling. Mix up your exercises so that you are constantly working different muscles.

Heh. My driver's license pic from 2002 is my favorite picture of any I have ever had taken of me. 'course, I actually had a full head of hair, then. :(
-
When I was issued my license, I was about 250, but I just kept the previous weight on the license of 230. Now I'm 203.

@jessika, too young, so no. You're pretty, though.

lol. Can't help it; my sets are that epic, now. Thank goodness my starvation mode days are over. I've seen ten pound GAINZ in muscle in each of the last three weeks, too!

I usually just bring my hibachi grill and cook up some ribs while I'm doing my first couple sets. When I first started, I had to eat them while still on the rare side, but now I can make it all the way up to medium-well.

yeah

yup

If you were single, then sure. :smile:

I wouldn't even mind if my kid's mother wanted to perpetuate the Santa thing. I just don't want to be part of the deception. That doesn't mean I'm going to burst the bubble. My kid/s will not find out about that truth from me, at least not directly; either they will be told by someone else, or I'll help them figure it out…
-
Yes, it's what most people do once their kids are a certain age. Most people do not present Santa as fiction until after their kids find out one way or another. Look, I don't think it's damaging to the kids to let them believe in Santa. I, personally, would just feel like I was hoaxing my kids. I'm not going to sit them…
-
Lol. Why; because I'm not comfortable lying to a kid? There are many, many ways to make Christmas a magical time for your family without having to rely on Santa. I was raised believing in Santa, but my very best Christmas memories came long after I found out the truth.
-
Believing a deity/deities to be true, and passing that dogma along to your children is not the same thing as passing along information that you know is false. You are comparing apples and oranges. A comparable analogy would be if you also believed in Santa. Or, for the people who celebrate the traditions of the festival…
-
Did you know that according to a couple states' constitutions you cannot hold public office if you don't believe in God?
-
yeah 'cept for the married thing...
-
Christmas is a magical time of year for me whether Santa is involved or not.
-
Hmmm, where have I heard that before??? :wink:
-
I, for one, never said that letting them believe in Santa would ruin their critical thinking skills for life; and I don't think anyone was suggesting that. But when my kids ask me a question, I'd like to think that I can help them figure out the answer themselves, mostly through probing questions which cause them to think,…

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If I had a child with a deformity, I would find that child just as precious as a Gerber commercial baby. If my child asked what the world would think about his/her beauty, I would tell him/her that it doesn't matter what they think, it's what you think about yourself that is important.…
-
Why would it be lying if you told your deformed kid that he/she is not ugly? I don't particularly have a problem with people raising their kids to believe in Santa, but I personally could not tell kids that he is real when I know he is not. Besides, I want to raise my kids to be critical thinkers. To not accept anything…

Who needs eharmony and match dot com when we've got this thread? @California...lol, sorry I meant if we're gonna date, you'll have to wear that dress. ;) Although if anyone can handle a mythical creature, it'd be Elvira.
-
Only if you wear the Elvira dress. ;)
-
Well then, hell yes. heh
-
You look a little young for me, so probably not...cutie, though. ;)
-
FWIW, I'd rather have a 6 or 7 than a 9 or 10. It may be a stereotype, but most nines and tens are lacking in either personality (as per my preferences) or intelligence or both, in my experience. Naturally, there are exceptions, but regardless I tyically find "cute" much more attractive than "hot." Unfortunately, as a 3,…

Heh. This was one of the first threads I read when I started on here. Really enjoy seeing these large success stories. Now I'm more than half way there myself. ;)

Really? 4 out of the last 7 days were less than 1100. FWIW, people often think that because you are losing weight, you must be eating healthy. This is not necessarily the case. There are more health concerns than just whether you lose weight or not. Your guide for heath should not be based solely on whether you are losing…

You are more likely to lapse and keep giving in if you are attempting to never give in. If you allow yourself these treats once in a while, you are less likely to have binge sessions. And if you need to, avoid buying the big bags if you don't feel like you can stick to one serving. If you feel like a soda, or a bag of…
-
One Dr. Pepper and a few chips? No offense, but...so what? You don't have to completely deprive yourself. The decision to eat those things is not what is important. It is the decisions you make after you eat them. Just don't let yourself go down a binge path, and you're fine. And even if you do eat way too much. Shrug it…

Got halfway through my first day workout and got interrupted by some bad news. Will have to start day one over again on Wednesday. I finished the workout, but had an hour long break after the second set.
