That sucks. While I can't relate to the gynecologist visit, I can relate to the quack visit. As a teenager I got sent to a Psychologist where I was diagnosed with half a dozen disorders and put on more meds than I can remember. Unfortunately one of them was Topamax (for Bipolar). This medicine made me lose weight, yes.…

I like everyone (from super friendly, to snarky wise *kitten*).

I do StrongLifts 5x5 so I up every time I do the exercise. My routine looks like this: Workout 1: Squats Bench Press Barbell Row Workout 2: Squats Overhead Press Deadlifts I rotate my workouts each week, and lift 3 days a week. I increase my weight by 5lbs total each time for everything except deadlifts, which get…

Don't think of it so much as lifting. Think of it as pushing your heels into the ground while pulling your shoulders back, and then work on pushing your pelvis forward until you are standing up straight.

I'm not a coffee snob (I save that for beer) so I just have a Keurig. My favorites for that are: Green Mountain Coffee Sumatran Reserve Green Mountain Coffee Dark Magic Coffee People Jet Fuel

I pre-log in the morning, but never close out my diary until the end of the day (can't predict the future). I find it helps me stay on track during the day and demotivates me from making impulsive meal decisions.

I've had a few interesting things in my day, and most of it was awesome. Ostrich Alligator Rattlesnake Snail Squid on a pizza And when I was a kid I used to dip mac&cheese in ketchup (don't ask)

40 BMI. Apparently I'm the fattest living human being in the world. 100% higher BMI than the rest of the world? Ok...I know I'm fat, but I'm not that fat.

I just keep a cup full of water near me at all times. I'm a habitual drinker (drink constantly if my hands aren't occupied) so having the water near me at all times means I get about 12-16 glasses in a day.

I tend to accept all friend requests. There may be a reason why they haven't filled out their profile, I know I didn't fill mine out until a day or two ago. I get distracted easily and it wasn't on my list of priorities. Perhaps the person just joined and they want to see if there are people out there who can help them on…

I do realize that it won't be 100% accurate. I'm more interested in using it as a guide to make sure I'm not in too much of a calorie deficit, thus hindering my ability to gain muscle mass.

My lab is in another part of the suite I'm in, so instead of taking my laptop down there to work I walk back and forth while executing tests. I don't have a pedometer though, so I have no idea how much I'm walking.

I do Stronglifts 5x5 and absolutely love it. However, unless you have the proper equipment it should not be done alone (safety/power rack) as you could seriously injure yourself. This is my rig

I was finally able to take my belt down a notch. Haven't done that it a long time (as in since college five or six years ago). As a motivating gift I bought myself a new watch :D

Welcome back. I started about two months ago after a 5 year hiatus as well. It made me feel whole again!

This. It drives me up a wall when a woman asks me something, I answer, and they take it in a completely different direction. As a general rule men say what they mean, and mean what they say.

That's awesome! We had a survey go out at my office a few years back to decide what to do with some empty office space; a gym, or a crappy room for local fast food joints to bring horrible food. Horrible food won.

I prefer to work out at home, but it's less of a "I don't like people watching me", and more of a avoiding "that's my bench!" kind of thing. I hate going to the gym, knowing what I need to do, and not be able to do it because three people have all the free weight stuff "taken". At home I never have to worry about who is…

I have a picture of my setup under my profile, which consists of the following: 1. Mid width bench with a maximum holding capacity of 600lbs (user + weights) that can do incline, decline, and flat 2. 45lbs olympic barbell with a maximum holding capacity of 600lbs 3. 255lbs in weights for barbell 4. Valor Athletics BD-6…

Excuse me while I put on my tweed jacket, pull out my pipe, and get a pint of a Guinness.

The Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory in quantum mechanics can explain that.

My beard is bringing sexy back.

I play console and PC games. Only current gen console I don't have is the Wii (sold it since I wasn't using it). I prefer certain games on PC (hack-and-slash, RPG, ARPG, and MMORPG, etc...), and certain games on console (FPS, Adventure, etc...). Right now I'm playing Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2 on PC. On console I'm playing…

Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men.

Absolutely stunning, and awesome motivation! I always thought cardio was the only way to go when it came to losing weight, then I started lifting. I still do cardio, but lifting is where it really works for me. Thanks for sharing your success!

I tear up some almond milk. This is my go to brand; http://www.silkpurealmond.com/

I don't track on the weekends. I use those two days to get ramped back up for the week. I still make smart choices, but also have my reward/cheat meal (or two...but never more than two) in those days. I've found after eating right for just over a month that I don't crave a lot of the things I used to. Thinking about Taco…

Chipotle is terrible, and I think South Park did the best explanation of that. Subway...if I want a sandwich made with pre-packaged meat I'll go to the store and pick up some tasty meats, and a good bread. When I go out to eat I don't really think about the calories. I don't eat out often (anymore), so I think of it as my…

My car is spotless, inside and out. Every Saturday (sometimes on Sundays) I detail the inside and outside. I live alone, and don't have a dog so that helps keep it clean. I also love my car.

I'll def be interested in checking out the coop on Borderlands 2. I'll be in France when it releases so I won't be playing until the following week sometime.
