  • What I don't want to hear is the crap BEFORE I started exercising: "Wow. Nice spare" or "You drink a lot of beer?" or "Wow. Look at that gut" and especially derogatory comments from my own parents about my midsection's size, something along the lines of "I can tell you have a desk job" or "You look like you're always in…
  • I have a few jobs.... In my regular fulltime job, I'm a CADD/GIS Technician at an engineering firm that specializes in hydrographic surveying, coastal engineering (wetlands creation, beach restoration, island creation, etc) and dredged material management. I work on construction drawings, survey drawings, create maps, do…
  • I know I'll be flamed about this, but I have zero running shoes. I just don't have the money right now to invest in a pair of shoes. So, I'm running in what I have right now, which is an old pair of high top sneakers. The way I look at it, is that I'm not going to have running shoes on when I'm working in my new "side…
  • I just finished Week 1. I'm a little scared of Week 2 with 1.5 minutes of running at a time.... My knees and shins are feeling it now.
  • The only suggestions I have about the heat would be riding either early morning before it gets wicked hot, or riding in the evening when it starts cooling off. Also, if you have any trails or park paths around that have trees, the shade will help block the sun's heat. I love riding my bike. I have trails scattered around…
  • Well, first off thanks for the warm welcome Bflicker11. I appreciate that. update: Since my last visit, I was lucky enough to acquire a treadmill. A few days ago, I started the C25K Program (treadmill version). It was a little brutal, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Day 2 is tonight. Hopefully i'll be able to…
  • Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your story and pictures. I'm in awe at your transformation and weight loss numbers! You're an inspiration to all of us. And I have to say: You're husband is one lucky guy. Because you're a hottie!
  • And here I was looking forward to helping someone out. Oh, well! Everyone knows that it's human nature to look at something that says "do not look at this" right? It's the nature of the beast.
  • I think anything with a good beat, or faster bass line, or just aggressiveness will work for a workout. Including dance, techno, industrial techno, rap, electronica, rock, metal, etc... I listen to almost anything by DISTURBED (my favorite band!). They'll put you in the mood to work out!!
  • I have never: - tried any illegal drugs - smoked (cigarette, cigar, pipe) - been in a plane (flying) - been more than 2 states away from home - been to Disney - been to a different country - been roller skating - been skiing - been on a horse - been to a NFL game - owned a brand-new vehicle - met/seen/talked to my father…
  • I'm a huge salt-o-holic myself. I love salt on so many things, even things that already have some salt (sodium) in them. It's a sickness for me. My wife picks on me and tells people "he salts his salt" which is probably true to some degree... I have no idea what a decent substitute for salt is. I'm sure I'd get used to…
  • Another guy here, just joined today.
