  • The time commitment is the thing that's killing MMO's for me. I just don't have much of it anymore, so when I do play them, I play for the solo and PVE aspect more than anything else anymore.
  • Hey Spinderalla, great EVE story. I still play, though not as frequently as I did. I currently reside in Immensea in a relatively tame alliance compared to the pvp heavy one I just left. I can certainly understand your reasons' for leaving after those losses! That would have hurt! I've never really left an MMO out of…
  • MFP does a lousy job of calculating weight work. You actually need to enter it in the cario section for it to calculate. There is an option for weights in the cardio section and it will do a rough calculation. Weight work calorie burn varies so much from person to person it's hard to calculate. I find Fitday does a much…
  • Moderation is the key. For a "normie". For me I think that after all these years my off switch just broke. Once I started, it was increasingly hard to stop. Soo....don't get started, at least for me, that's working. AND I'm losing weight much faster too.
  • 63 days alcohol free for me. It's what really kicked my weight loss into gear. I've lost nearly 15lbs in two months just by quitting my beer habit. I used to home brew, but found I was becoming way to fond of the stuff. In addition to the weight loss, I'm sleeping better and feeling much better. So right there with ya.
  • I used to love beer. I was a home brewer for many years. Due to health reasons I needed to give it up, and other alcohol too. Since that time, I've dropped 15lbs, It's been only a bit over 60 days! I knew I was drinking in some calories but...wow.
  • The trouble I have with the all digital route is you never really "own" the product you paid for. You can't loan it to someone, you can't move it around, you can't do anything with it. It's really bad with the big programs now. Photoshop just went lease only. You have to pay a monthly fee! You never own the product! and…
  • I've been in Beta, and Alpha, NDA will be lifted for next beta. Good game but, I probably won't buy it. I don't have time to play the games I already have let alone throw in another!

  • I used to be on it a number of years ago, I'm sure I probably still have a profile over there somewhere. The Net is littered with my deserted profiles :)
  • I have two accounts. I am actually in the process of moving out of 0.0. I am tired of Eve feeling more like a job than a game anymore. I belong to an alliance that is allied with the Goons. All we do now is deploy...deploy..deploy to pvp. I am tired of someone else telling me how to play a game I pay for. I love the game…

  • I've never been found unless I was looking. And now that I'm single again... I am :) How will they know your son's out there if he doesn't put himself out there?
  • I use my fitbit to track my steps, and my sleep. I pay no attention whatever to the calorie adjustment MFP makes for it. I don't think it's accurate at all. Walking, unless done quickly, and for extended periods, really doesn't burn nearly as many calories as MFP and the fitbit web site say it does. I find that my weight…
  • Yeah, I married the Nord warrior lady too. I'm kind of sick of her. Besides all she does is sit at home and take care of the store. She's a lousy tank anyway. And just like my real ex-wife, apparently never heard of sex.
  • Though you can mark it there, I really dislike the way it calculates calories. There is no option for the type of strength training you are doing, or how vigorously you do it. It's the one of things about using FitDay I like better than MFP, Some days I go to the gym and just to a general workout, other days I do circuit…
  • Heh, it used to be cool and rebellious way back when I got my first one, decades ago. Now everyone and their sister has them so I don't think it's considered rebellious any more. Still, you have to make the decision for yourself. I tend to like them, that's why I have them. Others don't. Just think of the type of job you…
  • No, I've not been able to stop taking it. I've been on it for at least 20 years now. Gout runs in my family. Both maternal and fraternal granfdathers got and from what I understand the males on the maternal side did going wayyyyy back No matter what my diet was like, I'd regularly get flair ups 3 times or more a year. It…
  • Chances are a lot of it is sodium and water retention, though, of course some of it is actual weight too. I don't worry too much if I overdo it occasionally. I find that if I completely deny myself, I'll never attain my goals. Just be aware of it and try to moderate it. Be extra careful today, since you weren't so careful…
  • Like JD said, try a weight gainer shake, that's one of the easiest, and cleanest ways, to get the calories you need or want if you can't make yourself eat them. Plenty of good tasting one's out there too.
  • Not really a blog as such, just a place I write on things that interest me. http://kyricus.hubpages.com/
  • Yeah, I hate steam.. So many games, so little time!

  • 52 Here and working on getting back to my 32 weight,,,I hope. Glad to meet you. Good luck!
  • That is truly amazing! What an inspiration!
  • I enjoy my alcohol too. As long as you figure it into your caloric intake for the day, I think you'll be fine.
  • Going to the gym works best for me. I've had home gym setups before, and currently have a nice spinning bike, but, taking the effort to get to the gym actually works best. When I work out at home I always see something else I could do, or needs doing, and I dont' work out nearly as long or as hard as when I've taken the…
  • I can't think of a better reason to lower your blood pressure than your wife and kids! Though my x-wife raised mine, but I digress :) Welcome aboard!
  • Like Brisweeny I'm a home brewer, I've lost weight before while continuing to brew and drink my own beer (albeit at a lower consumption level) and I plan on doing it again. It was my lack of exercise combined with becoming my mothers caretaker and not cutting back my eating that did me in. Now that's all behind me I'm…
  • Welcome aboard, I've only recently started posting here myself, though I am not shy about participating in forums, just had never ventured this way before. Oh, and I'm another biker trolling the forums too! lol . Welcome again. Feel free to add if you need a pal. Goes for anyone else too.
