I second the suggestion above to get better coffee, and drink it black. It took me a bit of getting used to (I was a double-double guy for the longest time), but now that I've settled in, I won't go back.

Nah, he looks like he'd make a total mess of trimming his beard in the sink.

I've never understood this argument; there's no reason you can't like both equally. They aren't competitors - they aren't even really the same style of movie, once you look past the ambiguous and all-encompassing "sci-fi" genre umbrella.

Very well done! Welcome to the century club!

The one that bothered (and still bothers) me the most is when people talk about "how fat I used to be". Believe it or not, guys, the self-conscious part of me still twinges every damn time you say that. Like, is that REALLY what you thought of me? Makes me wonder what you might still find "wrong" with me that you're not…

My friend, there are many ways in which you can use this as both motivation and power to give back to others. I'll give you an example. When I was growing up, I was bullied and picked on a lot. I had no friends, was always hovering at ~50lbs overweight (at my worst - my 30th birthday - I was about 100lbs overweight), and…

The rule of thumb I've always heard for "active rest" or recovery days is that your heart rate shouldn't exceed 120bpm; that is, you shouldn't be out doing wind sprints or suicides on an "active rest" day. :) I've frequently mixed cardio and weight training on the same day (ie. every Friday is shoulder day for me, and then…

This made all kinds of alarm bells go off when I read it. Have you consulted your doctor or a dietitian? Unless recommended by a physician, I am very reluctant to take the uncontested advice of Dr. Google. Again, unless recommended by a health professional to address the latter two, often times all of the "fast weight"…

I used to eat (read: choke down) Quest bars, as they were the closest to a half-decent tasting bar that I'd tried; I find that they do, however, have a god-awful and telltale 'artificial sweetener' aftertaste to them. However, after trying a MusclePharm Combat Crunch bar at the local Popeye's Supplements (they were…

If you're making visible progress, feeling healthier, and happy with what you're seeing, what the scale says really doesn't matter much.

Owns a hat.

Anyone's free to add me. :)

Every Friday, after hockey, I order a medium pan pizza, cheesy bread, and cinna stix, and eat my order in its entirety in one sitting while binge-watching whatever the TV show of the week is. It's how I unwind, and considering I've still lost 110lbs and have consistently been recomping my body with this as a part of my…

I've lost 110 lbs now (300 to 190), and I have always had a Coke Zero with lunch. I don't think there's anything wrong with drinking it, as long as you're not trying to use it as a substitute or alternative to drinking straight water.

People aren't property, and are completely capable of thinking for themselves - therefore, frankly, I have no idea why this bizarre "bros before hoes/fries before guys/girl-code" territorial nonsense exists. Assuming that you're both grown and (somewhat) sane adults, unless you're deliberately home-wrecking or otherwise…

Sure thing.

He wouldn't get down, even after I yelled at him that he was gonna break his neck.

Feel free to add me!

Currently separated, but I'm not going to let it keep me from my goals - nothing's stopping this train. Feel free (anyone) to add me.

Hey, I was right there with you, 18 short months ago. Feel free to add me (that invite goes to anyone on this thread)! :)

Those shakes/replacements offer no benefit in the way of time or nutrition that you couldn't otherwise get for far less money. For instance, overnight oats with protein powder are a great source of quality carbs and protein, and will take all of 30 seconds to whip together into a bowl and throw in the fridge. Takes maybe a…

Heels are never a bad thing.

Feel free to add me!

Why not?

I was about 170 lbs in high school, and I'm now 202.

I've frequently received dirty/incredulous looks for refusing "free food". I also got 'lectured' by a friend for declining an invitation to a beer-tasting event, because I was trying to cut down a little more before Hallowe'en.

I blame any place that's open past midnight and offers delivery.

Of my exes, I'm friends with one. It really depends on how the relationship ended. For us, we got together young, and as we grew up, we developed different interests and life goals. Neither of us resents the other or their dreams, but by staying together, one of us would've had to compromise theirs for the other's.

Best response in this thread.
