Good work! Very inspirational. You look good and should be very proud of yourself!

I've taken up and stopped smoking several times. I believe I have an 'addictive personality'. I find it hard to balance consumption of anything, smoking, food etc. Alcohol, funnily enough, I don't have control issues with. The best way to stop smoking is to just stop. Of course if you have trouble doing that them just…

Envelope Budgeting : https://www.eebacanhelp.com/envelope-budgeting.php There are many smart phone apps that help you do it. I use Balance on the iPhone. Just as with calorie counting, keeping track of what you spend as you spend it helps you save money. You'll always know how much money you have left.

Yeah it's lighter than a bee's boner but maybe he's just starting out with that particular movement. Maybe he's farked from working out previously. Maybe that's the tail end of a stripping session.

Be a little understanding. If I were to start training for clean and jerk I would start with a broom handle. It's poor form to laugh at those that can't lift as much as you.

That's actually how lifters in that sport do it. Whether it's safe or not I don't know but they ARE doing it right.

And for the record I like girls that are not that slim. I like slim girls too but there's something about a woman with a bit more ...

I'm sorry to say that I have said something similar to a girl *ducks* The way it came out and taken was not the way I intended it. She was a very cute girl and we were both overweight. My sentiment was that she was inherently a beautiful woman and that she could only get become more awesome, not less. Of course what came…

We've all hit bottom in this regard. It's a common thing to go through. You will get through it. The silver lining about people going through what you're going through is that it's the thing that makes you stop and take action. Push through this feeling until you start seeing progress. That progress will snowball, you'll…

One of the many reasons I like to live with blinders on. I don't like training with people and I don't like sharing details about my weight loss strategy (any more). People are annoying and offensive but they don't mean to be. We can't make them stop but we can choose how to take things. I should take my own advice ;)

I think I'm going to have to learn Ninjitsu when I have kids just so I can disappear like Batman whenever I need to :P

Do I have to choose?!

It sucks. Do you just let them live out their choice or do you try to turn them around? Unfortunately I've never heard of anyone turning their life around through the efforts of someone else. It's always because they want to change. Usually it's a non-fatal heart attack that makes them choose to get on the wagon. The pain…

+1 for Couch to 5k (C25k) Don't be scared, just start easy and you will get to a point where you're running for an hour non stop. Just remember, go slow :)

You think porn is cheesy!? I tried reading 50 Shades of Grey and I couldn't continue because it sounded like a teenager's wet dream. But that's the point of this stuff. It's so unbelievable because it's an escape. Porn, books, it's all good

What ever you want it to be.

You can't out-train a bad diet.

matchbox_girl: Don't come to Australia then, you'll be sorely disappointed when you hear 'real' Australian accents :P

There is no "should". Guys - It's just easier if you pay for the first date :) If a girl insists on paying twice, let her pay. Side note: Just make the first meeting (like off an internet dating site) a meet up for coffee at a cafe. Pay for the coffees and keep the meeting short.

I did the time based C25K using the Get Running app on my iPhone. I went from not being able to run for even a minute to running 7.5k non stop.

Runkeeper and iMapMyRun are good ones. Both are free. They are beholden to the quality of your GPS signal, though. I get really inaccurate routes when I run in the CBD here in Brisbane. When I run along the shore in the bay the route is perfect. I assume the buildings in the CBD make it hard for the gps to get a good…

Chance favours the brave! Just ask him out :)

That was directed at Paleo/Clean Eating mindset, not you all here.

Christ just eat something will ya's :P

I like to stretch only when the muscles are warm

+1 When I have to run on a treadmill I make the incline 2.0 or above to simulate the effort running outside takes.

I do the same as kcoftx. I love having granular data for the graphs :D

Once a day is as granular as you want to be. Even once a day is a little obsessive. I weigh myself once a day and while I'm used to it sometimes I do get a little crazy when the weight's not going down. I find that if I don't weigh my self everyday I don't feel accountable for letting myself go.

She's probably within the acceptable level of body fat for a women. In terms of attractiveness yeah of course she's hot. Dumb as dog's balls though.

Just remember to only use HRMs for calorie estimates when performing aerobic exercise. Using an HRM while lifting weights can give you good info about your heart rate but that heart rate doesn't translate to calories burned. Sucks.
