I was going to say having sex, but I realized if you can't burn 500 calories (or a lot more) by having sex, you just aren't doing it right. 1000+ isn't out of the realm of possibilities. :drinker: :laugh:

I hope that was your sarcasm because if not, boy are you in for a rude awakening. Seriously this can be a great place filled with incredible people who will support you like you could never imagine. And a few interspersed trolls just to keep things real. If you train hard, watch your diet, LOG EVERYTHING (which was the key…

It's what a lot of us are stuck on at our jobs. It's where the rat race is run.

False. I cook and I don't watch The Food Network. False on both counts. TNP has been to a restaurant owned by a celebrity chef featured on The Food Network.

Since I think everyone should, that no one should be ashamed of being naked, even if it isn't the shape you want it to be in, YES!!!! Everyone should.

Oh please. Let's not be such uptight prudes about the human body. Especially if it looks as good as the OP's body does (and as a gay man, I am somewhat of a connoisseur of the male body). Americans are such prudes about the human body it's positively 19th century Victorian. Completely ridiculous. From people freaking out…

I like the bald look on my men. And I'm sure there are guys who love it on their women as well. Be proud. You rock it. It looks great on you.

Just remember, no situation is so bad that it can't possibly be made a little bit worse. It could be, ...., um, ur. No wait. Let me think. Nope, it can't get any worse than that.

Wears a sweater she knitted from the hair she collected in the drain on her tub.

Uses crayons to file out his IRS 1040s.

46 years old? Still sems like a nooby to me. Good luck on your journey. You are in the right place.

Even Barney and Mr. Rogers have told him they don't like him.

Has to sing the song to be able to recite the alphabet

Scary? Maybe. Sad because I wasted so many years when I could have been so much better and wasted so many years. But great because now I have the knowledge and experience and means to really enjoy and put to good use the benefits of being in the best shape of my life. And now being out and proud makes it all even better.

Licks the fingers of other diners at their local BBQ restaurant.

I think for me, the biggest problem with the on-line calculators is the "fuzzy" definitions, especially on the exercise front. Take 2 people who "work out 3 days a week". One does light resistance training and some cardio 3 times a week. The other goes on 100 plus mile bike rides 3 times a week. They both fit the same…

Let's see. I'm in better shape than I have ever been in my life (and given my age, that's a lot of life to compare to). I can move better than any time in my life (I have congenital arthiritis which always limited me when young). I've been blessed here on MFP with some wonderful friends around the world who make me laugh…

Is the featured star of their own spin-off series based on "The Hoarders"

You're kidding, right? I don't even remember my 20's. :laugh: But good luck on your journey.

And it is a constant re-evaluation. It isn't like it is number set in stone. Every few weeks or a month or so I'll recalculate it. It is a lagging indicator, but it is by far more accurate than the on-line calculators. And it will put you no further than a hundred calories or so per day away once you get near maintenance.…

Simon hit it right on the head -- exactly what I was going to say. To calculate your TDEE using your actual data, you need to first make sure that you have been logging EVERYTYHING. Then choose two points in time with weight measurements, say the 1st and 7th of the month, as an example. During those 7 days, you lost one…

False, even though I wish I did. TNP is hoping to be humped on hump day. :)

Hoax? No. But massively oversold and being inappropriately used now? You bet. There are MFP members here who have come on here saying they need to "crash" diet to get below some arbitrary BMI number or their health insurance bill at work will go up. I can envision a scenario where someone will not get a job simply because…

But instead of a check, he sent a money order. :)

Had a peanut butter and KY Jelly sandwich for lunch.

(It's purple, not pink. Purple is pink's gay cousin). Broke the CD drive in her computer by mistaking it for a drink holder.

Wright Brand Bacon -- the bigger better bacon.

1. His wacky, oddball, sense of humor. Humor is one of the few things we actually have in common. Which I think is why we work so well. 2. Patience. He is my rock. I am the emotional, non-stop whirlwind. He is the calm, steady presence. He comes along for the ride and when things get too much for me, he is there to just…

(It's supposed to be a lie. lol) His favorite musical artist is Wayne Newton. Danke Schoen
