Vegan, and I love it.

You should actually expect that you will likely fail - now - please keep reading! - Prepare for this realisation - the failure will badly humiliate you. Regret will set in immediately after you take that 2nd or 3rd puff. Thereafter, your self-esteem will enter a downward spiral that only makes you more addicted. So, the…

If you really eat what you describe, then your diet is perfectly fine... Don't worry about it, not at all. I guess you might be stressing out over having the cyst removed. That's fair enough. Addressing that worry is likely more productive than anything else. But, of course, this is just a hunch (my wife has a cyst to…

A Dutch Urban bicycle, 6 gear, exported to the SE Asian tropics (Penang). My bike never fails to attract positive attention! When cycling, one needs to sit upright, face forward and enjoy the view. And cycle for practical purpose - such as bringing back home veggies from the market. Hence the leek in the saddlebag! ;-)

Soda addiction is perhaps a bit overrated, over-everything... If you want to lose weight, just dump soda from your diet. It is absurd to think you need to drink soda, from my perspective that is. Boil water. Make tea. Enjoy a cup of hot tea. Leave the tea bag in the pot and let it go cold. Eventually put the cold tea in…

I really miss Fitness First's The Biggest Loser program on TV. I thought it was really cool. Apparently, the owners of FF were also biggest losers financially, so they closed down so many gyms. Or, perhaps, their investors were shortsighted. Nice to see the name survive though!

Link Wray - Ace of Spades - whilst having lunch. Also good for work out. I prefer instrumental music for work out.
-
Did you stop drinking beer? That will help for sure. And do you work out? How much and often?
-
Sugar levels in fruit are the last thing to worry about. Eat more, but also eat better overall, and exercise a lot more.

Did anybody bother to check out Yuri van Gelder's planks? Isn't amazing what the human body is capable of doing? Mind you, he has been alleged of using coke *during parties* and has been suspended for this, poor soul.

Keep practicing!! One day, perhaps, you can do with Yuri van Gelder does best (hope the hyperlink is allowed): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVDHBQUd4Kc&feature=related

If you stop cardio, you're likely to add to that belly fat. Eat lots of protein and do lots of belly exercises. Not just the easy going sit ups: they're going to deliver a six pack as big as your legs are from running miles and miles (i.e. strong, but not much visible). Do as few or many sit ups while holding a 10 or 20 kg…

Ya, as a Dutchman I can relate especially because I'm out of my natural territory and I get lots of curious looks when people see me on my bike. Which is not a mountain bike model that everyone rides here but a dutch model: sit upright and see what is around you!
-
Why are you stoked about those gyms? Then again, its California.... :)

Yes, it's an informative website. I had come across it before. Good of you to alert us all. Somebody put some real time into putting all that together for us.

Congratulations with your second PR breaker! Ehr.. how does one put a woman in hot water?? :)

What is soda? Seriously, there's a big part of the world that doesn't know what soda is (about).
-
Hahaa... As a non-American, I was wondering for some time already, what that thing with water was all about. Sodium is another one that pops up now and then. It is amazing to see how these things are intimately connected to a strong sense of guilt (or achievement).
-
So there's a bigger issue (punishment) behind the symptom (which is not liking veggies), it seems. I gave myself a healing package a year ago. Quit this and that, started sports again and commenced eating healthy. Did a much feared health check and also sought advice from a psychologist to figure out why I had gotten stuck…

I'd treat myself to a cheesecake and then NOT record that too!

Agree with Atlantique. And this assumes that you weighed in, in pounds, not kilograms.
-
This is indeed a good thing to do. My top 10... 1) Fulfilled my vision / dream to live and work in Asia 2) Married to a very pretty and very special woman 3) I have a challenging but fascinating job that makes a real difference 4) I have very special friends who will be there whatever happens 5) I have proven to myself…

Better still, where possible replace 'real sugar' for honey, which is nutritious as well as delicious. And, the rule is here: wild honey is better than farmed honey (different bee species, different flower species). As for fats: it depends what you want to use it for.

Lost Legends of Surf Guitar! That would be D*ck Dale, Pyramids, The Apemen etc. I ran 10k on this music style today by adjusting my speed for each (instrumental) song. So it's even HIIT at times but most songs have BPMs equivalent to running 10.5-12 km/hr so that's just good for training.

Contact - version D**k Dale and his Del-Tones!

Why?

8000 calories a day, heavens! Just out of curiosity, what does one have to eat to reach that? If you feel hungry, eat lots of fiber rich food. Take huge portions of vegetables for example and gradually reduce over time. Good luck and welcome here!

tell you how to resize? Use MFP!!! :)

oops. :0

You lost 8.4 pounds in 10 days? That's great, but apart from not making weight loss dependent from stress, you could consider if you could slow down loosing and gaining for sustainable results? Just something to think about.
