" I exercise, I have tons of energy, I feel amazing, and I'm in the best shape of my life." <- Answers my questions and proves my point :) Good.

Its offensive and sexist! Either women are equals or they are not. I think they are. Generally speaking my friends and I will randomly offer to pay for meals.drinks etc. and it works out more or less evenly. Generally if we know someone in the group is less well off we make sure its their 'turn' when the smaller bills come…

I hope you can understand why people are so cynical after you failed to mention this rather significant factors in your initial post. I mean, why complain you cant run when from the sound of things you are having problems walking which is far more debilitating. This is either a medical issue and you need to get it looked…

Men should always pay for dates. Just like women should always do the ironing. <If you think I think that you don't know me at all>

Yes - you are doing something wrong - running does not need to hurt! Look at my above post for details.

Forget fat/skinny/muscular for a moment... My personal motto is 'Happy and healthy' - its not based on how you look or how on other people perceive you, its about how you feel and whether you are limited by your current fitness levels. For example - body builders typically are not great long distance runners. Athletes of…

Shoes make a BIG difference. There are two lines of thought on this - You go for minimalist shoes which basically have no cushioning in them at all. That way you are forced into using good technique because doing anything else is really painful! - You go to a running shop where they do gait analysis and buy some well…

If you're eating out its going to be virtually impossible to tell: The biggest difference between calories in ice cream depend on the density rather than on the flavour - density is going to be controlled by the type of cream and how much air they get in it. So unless you're planning to weigh your portion you're going to…

Sad it turned out baddly but you handled yourself admirably throughout.

Dear women everywhere. Take note: For the most part, nice men are completely thick when it comes to knowing they are being hit on. Only players recognise signals and know how to act on them. Spell it out: I recommend something on the lines of: "I think you look cute and I want to know if you're nice too. Will you go to a…

I like rabbit stew. You told me you weren't a bunny boiler. Game over.

I can't date you both.... That's why I'm running away

You ain't my baby's Pappa

False TNP is a cyborg

Nothing people do on a tread mill bugs me. However, People using a rowing machine badly bugs the hell out of me... Partly because I know it can really damage their back but largely because it just looks so stupid when people are moving their arms and legs in opposite directions (arms forward, legs back at the same time...)…

I have a couple. "Happy and Healthy" - meaning I must not sacrifice one for the sake of the other. "Food is Fuel" - meaning that I eat to fuel my workouts, rather than work out so I can eat more.

You're looking great B!

I always though worrying about being +/- 100 calories was a waste of energy (not that you want to be +100 every day...)

Over a week - yes. On a specific day - probably not all on days where I have massive burns |(+ 1500 cals) but at least 2/3rd

You would spend your last minutes as a fondue....

Try reading 'born to run' then VERY SLOWLY experiment with minimalist shoes. Last year I ran my first marathon and did my first triathlon. This year someone asked my what my goals were and I said "To enjoy being fit" - There are plenty of events I intend to take part in and I need to train to remain fit but my goal is all…

perhaps you could hide under it?

In the movie - the world is coming to a definitive end with no chance of survival (Collision with a large asteroid). And if you saw it you would definitely be heading out to that restaurant (I think it was a Friendlies rather than a TGI Fridays)

If you are doing exercise, logging it and loosing weight, results prove its not cheating!

Cherry Garcia What feature most attracts you to someone?

Sea Cucumber. DON'T DO IT! How long does it take you to get from excited to pissed off by snow?

China. First time I went to Shanghai was a massive culture shock. What is the meaning of life?

HRM's are pretty good indicators for continuous exercise like running or cycling but not great for interval training or weights. Additionally it measures how fast your hear is pumping - but that doesn't tell you how efficient you heart is at getting oxygen to your blood - which is a combination of red cell count, lung…

My wife would die laughing. Some one who enjoys the club scene.

I doubt there are many people here qualified to answer this question as really with the levels of exercise you are doing most of the arguments around starvation mode become moot. The hardest thing is going to be accurately measuring what you are burning in those work out sessions as you will burn less as you become more…
