Usually anywhere from 9-14 ounces of meat, a bag of frozen veggies, one or two pieces of fruit, and a yogurt

South Beach can be a great lifestyle in your 20s and early 30s, but eventually the booze and white start to catch up with you. Not to mention the inevitable skin cancer.

My oldest started school in a financial center, exclusive private school that cost more per year than I paid for private graduate school. I now have her in a public magnet school because I want her to have an appreciation for life. I have to be honest that it's taking some time for me to get accustomed to hearing about how…

OMG! An hour each night. Among playing with blocks, video games, and watching TV, how can a child be expected to do homework?! How much time do all the parents here spend on MFP and social media each day? I goof off regularly and still find time to check my kids' homework, and to be honest, my wife does much more than I do.
-
Hmmm, another example of binary thinking on MFP, i.e. it's academics or physical activity. There is plenty of time for both, and my children are proof of it. As I said, it's a competitive world out there, and it's best to prepare one's children for it.

My third grader is reading a 200-300 page novel every month. Like it or not, the world is getting more competitive, not less, and the US is falling behind. We can either whine about what kids should be doing or we can push them to be competitive in tomorrow's marketplace. It's totally your call with your kids, but I'm not…

English majors. It must be disappointing to study prose and poetry when all you really need is, "would you like fries with that?"

If murder and suicide are wrong then why do we permit smoking in public? Next thing you know we'll be allowing people to mow down pedestrians with cars and spray schools with bullets, leading to the downfall of civilization as we know it, the kicking of small puppies, and the failure to water house plants.

Do I have extra sheets and is there another chick readily available who doesn't piss the bed? Wait, never mind, if there are two then I want both

I roll my aging *kitten* out of bed, crawl the few yards to the dining room table and park in front of a cup of coffee and a computer screen while I work on convincing myself that I really should get a shower and put pants on, all the while my other side is arguing that my bed is a much better place to spend the day and…

If you like running then run. It's great for conditioning and heart health, and it will certainly allow you to eat more than you otherwise could and still lose weight. If you want to firm up though, do some strength training. It doesn't have to be weights.

I helped a nice old lady out of her Corvette in the middle of an intersection and took it off her hands

I laugh and point when it hits them. I'd call that a positive attitude

Does it count if I like throwing poop at random strangers?

Like a Catholic school girl at her first clothing optional party

Butt hurt PMs. I live for them. Wait, WTF is this thread about again? Oh, craft beer. Definitely craft beer.

I've done it nearly ever Sunday morning for 20 years

In for dramatically filling in holes

Deeeeeee!

Kick kittens and punch puppies while simultaneously destroying vast swaths of forest. Oh, and smoke cigars and drink Scotch with clients while planning the above. And, and scratch myself while sitting on my keister. May I go home now? I'm tired.

I have the hots for a woman who lifts and coaches, but who also rocks a ball gown and heels, not to mention a bikini.

Current training numbers for 1 rep: Squats: 345 (I can do this for low reps but can't get depth at a higher weight) Deads: 405 Bench 275 I still have a long way to go to my goals

I'm often pretty wrecked by the time I finish my workouts, particularly when I finish with cardio. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yea, you're clearly over him

How is this any different than Hare Krishnas or Jehovah's Witnesses approaching you? Just blow it off. Weirdos abound.

Resistance exercise will tend to build muscle if you are eating at a calorie surplus, and tend to help you maintain muscle while you lose fat if you are eating at a calorie deficit. When you first start exercising you will get a little of both, but it takes quite a bit of work over time for most women to get anywhere near…

A traditional thin crust margherita pizza is a much better tasting alternative, and really doesn't have that many calories. Specific will depend on the recipe.
