A little, black missile, made in Stuttgart.

Which ever one fits your hand and the one you will actually carry all day long! You want an automatic with a rail. They carry more bullets, are trivial to re-load quickly and you can easily mount a laser. Under stress, even with lots and lots of practice, you will forget how to aim properly. Buy a laser ... and an…

It's not when you stop looking, it's when you stop looking desperate! Oh, and yes, the best man really is the "best man".

I use a Solingen straight razor passed down from my great-grandfather to shape my beard after a haircut and then i use a Braun, daily. I rub an alum block over my warm, damp face before using the electric.

Yah, this is familiar. I emptied the kitchen and pantry of junk food and put it where it belongs, in the garbage. Huge fight. Maybe you should just toss the cake in the trash and suggest that next time, he just make cheese tarts and take the rest to work. We are men, and often pretty clueless. Be crystal clear and direct.…

1 quart of water weighs a little over 2 lbs. 2000 calories of quality food will weigh a little over 2 lbs (assuming water-rich vegetables, fruit and lean cuts of meat). If you weigh 100 lbs, that is about a 4-5% variation every day.

All I can say is that they helped me get off my plateau and I lost 3 lbs in the past week doing nothing differently than I have been doing for the past couple of months.

I'm paid to be an uber geek .. I'm at TechEd right now, that should brand me.

Aren't they usually called professional sports league coaches? :)

I travel a fair bit and when on the road, it's really hard to keep motivated to exercise, even when there is an exercise room in the hotel. That's where I am, right now. I headed over to the exercise room, but I arrived too late and it was already closed. I guess I'll be doing the gym-class classics in my room. I was…

Study after study shows that for MEN, fat loss is faster via strength training at high intensity.

Eliminate anything "white" from your diet; anything over-processed by machines. Shop around the edges of the grocery store. Hit the gym on even days, take a fast walk on odd days. Exercise the big muscles for the first few weeks to build up muscle mass quickly.

How long did it take you to lose 50?

The scale is just a datapoint. There is too much variation in a single day to count on it .. too much salt, water retention, not enough water, etc. I rely on the tape-measure.

I have a Big Green Egg. It's perfect for pork loins, beer can chicken, pork shoulder and brisket. I usually cook up a large something on the weekend and the freeze the leftovers. However, beer can chicken salad is wonderful.

We've forgotten more than you know!

Age and treachery trumps youth and exuberance every time!

I have flat-lined, too. I have been using circuit for about 2 weeks and finally found some downward motion!

I saw one person stepping over them, side to side.

I'd much rather just measure my shrinking waistline.

It's all I'm going to do until i am down to my target measurements, then I'll move to the main floor. I start with 12 min abs, do the 30 minute express and then do short set of progressive weights for my back. Just a bit under an hour. I borrowed one of those arm-band metabolic devices from a friend for a week and for me,…

As for a workstation that you can stand up at while working and order a tall chair for when your knees need a break.

And there are many men who don't care, at all. Women have so many more admirable curvy parts ...

If you interact with me on a daily basis for several weeks, I'll consider you an acquaintance. Extend that to several months, I'll consider you a "friend". Stop interacting with me and I'll assume you have lost interest. This is real life. My struggle is real. My setbacks are real. My accomplishments are real. MFP is one…

Who said stick-skinny models are beautiful?

Caswell Massey and get some nice after shave balm.

Most people spend all their time waiting for life to begin.

A "Get To The Point" beam plus an "Excessive Spend" taser.

It depends on which one you are taking; it is a side effect for some. Some meds take weeks to start becoming effective, so this could just be temporary. BTW, meds will not stop the urge to eat for comfort, that is psychological not biological.

At some point, your body will reach an equilibrium at the weight it wants to be when you are active and eating healthy. I think you should listen to your body and put the number out of your mind. Now you need to switch gears into MAINTAIN mode. That needs far more mental energy than worrying about that last 5.
