Not sure why I haven't posted in here before. I'm a BJJ blue belt and have been training 4 years. My whole family trains including my wife (who just was promoted to blue last week) my three sons (20, 9, & 5) We train under Gustavo Dantas black belt Chris Lopez and are part of Nova Uniao Arizona.

Are you down overall from when you started? Weight can go up or down daily. I can understand the frustration but perhaps the overall picture is you're still making progress. Do you feel your clothes are fitting better? Lots of different factors to consider.

I echo what the previous replies were. If the dough consistency is correct using a pan of that fashion should not be an issue. I use that pan style myself when making pizza at home.

#1 I'm 38 and there's only one reason I would "date" someone 20 years old. #2 As a father to a 15 year old daughter I wouldn't approve of her at your age "dating" someone 22 years older because of my #1 statement.

I also sneak in a few sets at work. There is a stability ball with dumbbells in an empty cube that we use during our shifts. Working 12 hour nights can be long so I'll get some dumb bell presses or flys and some bi and tricep work in too. lol

Married with 4 kids. (20,15,9,5) All of us do martial arts. My wife and I train jiu jitsu 3-4 times a week. 2 nights our 15, 9 and 5 year old also train jiu jitsu. When they are in class we hit the gym to lift for 30-40 minutes. ( our oldest also trains but he don't count as a "kid" lol) It helps that the whole family is…

I started brazilian jiu jitsu at 245lbs or something close to that. I was able to get down to 215lbs by just training but wanted to continue weight loss. The key for me was diet. Until I actually became aware of what and how I was eating I stalled on the weight loss. I was able to get to 175lbs at my lightest just with…

I will take my own snacks to munch. Ziplock of trail mix or almonds or cashews etc. Usually works for me also if I take my own "sweets" like some dark chocolate.

I work two 12's and two 8's. I log midnight to midnight. Usually Sundays I eat my first meal around 4pm and won't eat a full day's worth of calories. At midnight while I'm still at work I usually will have a meal that is counted as first for the next day. I get off at 6am and will eat when i get home also. Sleep a few…

Not sure there are too many gym options too close to your. There is a YouFit Gilbert a few miles southwest of you. A Life time fitness also I believe. If you're open to a different kind of workout there is also Power MMA and Fitness which is just west of you. Boxing, Muay Thai, Grappling and personal training. It's owned…

According to my most played as sorted by my music app on my phone I'm a huge Megadeth fan. Here are the top 5 of the 25 most played songs on my entire playlist. Pretty safe to say it's because I usually work out to metal / rock so that is the playlist that is mostly on rotation for me. 99 Ways to die - Megadeth Symphony of…

I have a Coke Zero, Rockstar, Monster energy drink issue. I'll go months at a time when I don't drink any of them but I'll slowly go back to having 1 or 2 a week. Too much of anything is bad for you, even water......let that sink in a bit lol

in Making use of SPAM Comment by rayfu75 April 2014

That sounds terrible to deal with. As a father and husband I would not expect anything positive back if I treated my wife that way. In fact taking care of the home and kids without two jobs is a task I'm sure. Hopefully you find some resolution even if it means difficult decisions ahead.
