  • See highlighted text... You won't. It's extremely difficult to bulk up with very little testosterone. HOWEVER, you will love the subtle changes you see in your body if you are somewhat consistent with your efforts.
  • I shared this on another thread, but it's applicable, I think, to what you want to know: The idea is that it's: 80% diet, 10% exercise, and 10% genetics. If you've plateaued from dieting, OR you want to eat the same and still lose weight, then cardio is good at helping with that. However, if you want to see real changes in…
  • ***Just throwing this out there: I lost 35 lbs. without doing ANY exercise. At the time, I felt like engaging in a fitness routine was unsustainable, for me. Now, that I'm reaching my goal size, I'm finding that exercise, specifically, weight lifting is most important to reaching my esthetic goals. I STILL have to watch my…
  • Well, way to hang in there, OP. Lol!
  • It helps, but not for creating any major calorie deficit. The idea is that it's: 80% diet, 10% exercise, and 10% genetics. If you've plateaued from dieting, OR you want to eat the same and still lose weight, then cardio is the best. However, if you want to see real changes in your shape, I highly recommend heavy lifting.
  • Haha! You're my confidante, as well. :wink: :drinker:
  • There is so much fail in this comment, I don't even know where to begin. Aside from the "...[all black people want to be 'thick']...comment," which just leaves me dumbfounded by the sheer ignorance of the statement...this is yet another complete and utter ASSUMPTION, on your part: "I read others say to complain to HR, file…
  • And, "real harassment"? It sounds like she's encountered this from him before. While I agree that she should start by setting boundaries, on her own (which she may have). If he continues to be verbally abusive, which is what this is, that IS real harassment, and she should not be made to feel as if she's threatening his…
  • See your own writing, in bold. If he does it more than once, then he needs further actions taken against him. Generally, after the verbal warning, they will send the offender to counseling. If he shows no improvement and continues his offensive behaviors, then he deserves to be let go. Yeah, that's REALLY harsh of HR and…
  • Don't be silly. You don't get fired on your first infraction. Standard protocol is a verbal warning the first time it happens, in which they just inform him that what he said was inappropriate. So, understanding how things work, in companies that have an HR dept., maybe you're the one who needs to lighten up. Not to…
  • All extremely valid points, and I'm curious about #2, as well. I have curves. If I'm not the correct race to have them, then what does he think I should do with them? :noway:
  • You should have baffled him with an equally silly question: "huh?! What makes you think I'm black?" and walk off. Lol! Seriously, it's really none of his business what you weigh/how you look, and you had every right to tell him that his comments were mashing you uncomfortable and that they were more than inappropriate for…
  • agreed. The bonkers feeling goes away almost immediately after starting my period.
  • ^^Hey! Glad to know I'm not alone in the PMDD world!
  • Really? The answer can't be: "BOTH"? I have been diagnosed with PMDD and can tell you the cravings are VERY real. Do I HAVE to act on them? No. However, my resolve worsens near the start of my period and the dysphoric days can be so unsettling that I don't give a crap if I never lose weight. I can't think clearly when it's…
  • Sweet Jesus, yes! It really IS about the frosting, isn't it? Butter. D@mn you! Lol!
  • haha! I love that song!
  • Considering that I eat less than a tablespoon per day of butter, if that, it can't possibly be the devil. :wink: Cake. Now, cake seems to be the devil...I can't quit eating it!!! (Hey, wait. Butter is in many cakes. Butter! You sly little devil!) :devil: Then again, I replace butter/oil with nonfat Greek yogurt and/or…
  • Same here. I was told I'd scare the fish away, if I kept talking. Lol!
  • That's the spirit! Post pics.
  • Magneto, genius. My brother used to make them all the time when we were growing up. http://www.ehow.com/how_2312278_make-fish-shocker.html
  • Samuel L. Jackson, but not as himself, with him as Jules Winnfield..."Say 'what' again. Say '[zombie hiss?]' again, I dare you, I double dare you mother******, say what one more God**** time!" :laugh:
  • That's what survival skills are about. You don't get a pass, because you didn't get to take fishing 101. You'd better eat some tree bark, crickets, or grubs, or something. Lol! And, "foolish"? Really? Just because you don't have experience, it doesn't mean that others wouldn't. You'd definitely die with that attitude. It…
  • ^^Well, actually, I HAVE heard of all of these methods. I like the electricity idea, for efficiency, but not for sustainability. For those arguing about fishing not being an attractive option, I think THEY are interested in BBQ homo Sapiens. LOL! :laugh:
  • ^^this. Scarcity of food and level of challenge of environment put to test "desperate times call for desperate measures." In this case, living in Georgia, they are just being lazy. The climate conditions and abundance of lakes and streams (and Atlantic Ocean!) which are viable fishing areas, make Georgia a pretty…
  • Interesting! Thanks for sharing...without that background, it just seems like "end of the line." Not a place to live, but a place to die. haha!
  • ^^Yep. I thought of the different methods of trapping prey and the survival measures theme, as well. Honestly, the name "Terminus," itself doesn't sound inviting, or like a sanctuary, at all. The fact that they wanted it to be everything they'd hoped for (safe haven), was what made me leery of it weeks ago. Definitely a…
  • ^^Lol! Yep. I don't care much for her, either.
  • I can see your point. I DO wonder why they continue to be on the defensive and continue to hide. It seems to me that they could have devised some mass zombie eradication plans (Tractors/tanks with head choppers, to start), gone full on attack with those to find the people who will cure the virus. I mean, I wouldn't be…
  • Hershel provided the sense of morality for the group, and Rick, especially. The flashbacks of Hershel show that continued theme between complete savagery (Rick's reaction to his livelihood being threatened) and civilized rules of engagement (Hershel's gentle, but strong nature). He's too important to dismiss from the show…
