  • SW: 228. 1 GW: 199.9 Goal weight loss: 28.2 lbs I haven't weighed under 200 lbs since my sophomore year of college 20 years ago. This will be a huge accomplishment for me. My plan is to do a modified version of P90X. My modification is that if I can't complete a workout (owing to time or too sore) then I will simply…

  • Hey! Nice to meet you all. Count me in for the challenge. The timing is perfect for me. I dropped 25lbs from the new year to the beginning of March by dieting and cycling. But after 9 solid weeks of strict dieting and exercise I needed some time to relax a bit. So I took it easy for a few weeks. The good news is that I've…

  • Now I am curious. Fellow tech addicts please tell me. Are you just unaware of this device? Or is it simply not noteworthy? Do you think in 10 years using a mouse will be old school? Or will this go the way of the BetaMax VCR? (Btw, if you think Leap Motion is a new toy for toddlers you should have your geek card revoked!)

  • Last night my wife made cupcakes for the kids. The wonderful smell permeated the entire house. In a surge of willpower I passed on eating one. I even sat at the table talking with the kiddos while they enjoyed their tasty dessert (+1). Then today after getting back from my lunchtime run, I found myself in the kitchen all…
    in What NSV did you have this week? Comment by pghtrader July 2013
  • Seems like it has more to do with the individual rather than the program. The page below cites the same medical issue with someone only doing 30-40 sit-ups every day for a week (link to the medical review found on his site). That doesn't mean it isn't safe for the masses to do sit-ups.…

    in Wanting to be physically attacted..... Comment by pghtrader July 2013
  • Hmmm. There must be some other context to this post that I am unaware of, but luckily that won't stop me from replying. Your profile says you are 42. So I am assuming your dad is in his 60's. No offense intended towards sexagenarians, but what friend of yours feels that you need to date someone in their 60's? To make…

  • I'm glad this topic came up. I have a cup of coffee when I wake up but am not really ever hungry until around 11:30/noon. Even when I run or lift in the morning I still am not hungry. I used to force myself to eat something for breakfast but that didn't work out well for me. I always wondered if I was doing myself a…

  • Here's a trick I found on this site but can't remember from whom (Thank you whomever you are). Try drinking water today until it comes out completely clear. You'll likely end up sending out more than you drank and feel like you are going to the restroom every five minutes. When you weigh yourself in the morning you should…

  • In case you didn't pick up on the recurring theme, what you are hearing is an undertone of jealousy from people that have left the school environment years ago and are knee deep in the responsibilities of their world. I quickly found that marriage, children, work, and ongoing maintenance on our home has pretty much…

  • When I am on my trainer I set my laptop so that I can watch youtube. If I really want to be motivated to ride a long ride, I find a "Tour of" cycling video (like tour of california, tour of turkey). You can find videos that are anywhere from 45 minutes to a couple hours long. Here is a link to a stage from the Tour of…

  • I'm not sure if this what you are looking for, but Dr Jack Kruse has a lot of information on on his site regarding how foods/enzymes/hormones impact the metabolism. Specifically, there is good info on the lower carb approach. You may have to dig for what you need, but if your looking for someone knowledgeable of the…
