I completed it last September and I've been about fitness every since. It's an incredible program and I'm so glad I found it. Whether I'm running 2 miles or 10 miles, I owe it all to that program. I wish it was a person so that I could take it out to lunch and thank it! Finish the program, you won't regret.

Yeap, sure would. The issue though, is that there are generally a lot of health complications that come with that. I would want to get healthy together to prevent that if they weren't present at the beginning of the relationship. As a guy considered too fat/ugly for most of my life to date anyone (never been over 290lbs) I…

That is an incredible burn. This tool from Fat2fit radio will give you a good estimate of where you should be eating to power those workouts AND feed your body. http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ The bottom line is that you most definitely aren't eating enough if you're consistently burning that many calories. Eat…

Very good suggestion here! Also, take a gander at this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/501511-great-read-on-plateau-ing

I bet a good number of people here are stuck because they aren't eating enough, thinking that they can exercise more at the same caloric intake, cutting calories even further than they already have (which isn't working), or worse yet cutting even more calories while increasing exercise. Try eating more for a month and see…

Very interesting post. The answers, and general consensus overall, were quite surprising :)

Hi I was wondering the saem because I only eat 300 calrie pre dayz lulz! I does da cardyo and liff waits tree time par weak, but will dis hurtz ma gangz? I juss eat cellry an boo cheeze but don't won't ta b fat, lulz! Liek if dis maek u cri evry tiem! Troll post SUCCESSFUL!!!!

I hate the dreadmill with a passion (still a better love story than twilight)! I started running outside from the get go. The few times I've been forced to run on a treadmill it was boring and it made me lightheaded when I stopped. I also cannot run long on a treadmill and I sweat like a pig. I also run slower. I love…

I agree, but the physics IS right. However, as you said, you are basically giving yourself a stronger engine with which to do it. The energy required is still the same, but the engine doing the work is a little different. A 30 mile daily commute at 50mph burns the same amount of gas, but if you want to consume more fuel…

I'm doing Big but Boring! Instead of the dumbell rows though, I'm doing my barbell rows. I also go a little heavier on the "same lift" accessory lifts because the suggested weights are too light. This is my first week, but I'm very surprised at how sore I am, lol! I do like how you can go as many reps as you want on the…

I have never taken drugs in my entire life, but the excitement and entertainment that is flowing through me from this thread MUST be what it feels like, HAHAHA!

OP, didn't you see Tropic Thunder? You NEVER go full retard!

The weird part about it is that as I watched her in ICU fading away, it wasn't all of the bull**** she put me through that I mourned for. It was for all the things that could have been, but would never be. My dad used to be on Heroin as well, but he stopped in the late 80s. I've only met him a couple times though.

You're looking good kid! Job well done! BAWSS!

Let Darwin take it's course. Idiots. My mom died via her lifelong crack addiction. I simply do not see the appeal.

I agree with this, not even kidding though. He pays to be there like anyone else. He can look at who he wants as long as he isn't touching anyone. I would be too busy working out to notice who is looking at who, as that is not my prerogative. You can have management harass him (or not), but understand that his money to be…

Huge anime fan here! I tend to stick to the more *kitten* kicking ones, lol! No particular order, but a few of the many I really enjoy: 1.Rouroni Kenshin 2. One Piece 3. Bleach 4. Mushishi 5. Reborn 6. Fairytale 7. Queens Blade 8. Full Metal Alchemist 9. Gurren Lagaan 10. Sword of the Stranger Too many to list though, and…

Much love and respect to you man! That is why I do it at 32, by the time I'm your age I would have been at my optimum for several years. You are truly and inspiration and thank you so much for sharing your story. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that your father would be very proud of how badass his son has become! You…

I would have told myself that the cake is a lie!

Getting on the scale every day leads to anxiety, depression, and feelings of a loss of self control. I wouldn't touch the scale no more than once per week. Additionally, if you are going to continue to get on the scale every day, you really need to do research on water retention, glycogen, cortisol, and how your body deals…

To elaborate, if you are eating significantly higher calories than your TDEE, you'll gain. If you aren't eating enough, you'll stall out or not lose at all. They were right though, the bulk of weight loss happens in the kitchen. Make those quality calories count!

Can't see your diary and we have no idea how much you have gained back. Anything between 1 - 5lbs is water weight or general daily fluctuations with your body. Provide us with some cold numbers and we'll be able to better help. Cutting carbs is not the answer though, lol!

Album - Bad Meets Evil by Eminem and Royce Da 5-9. Song - Push it to the Limit by Paul Engemann There are a bunch of others, but that's a good start :)

Playing video games, bike riding, leisure runs, hookah sessions... generally just chilling :)

All Blind Dates 1. Blind date turns out to be blind in one eye and mentally challenged. I didn't know about the blindness until I went to pick her up and her grandmother (whom she lived with) went on this rant about it. After trying to spark conversation the whole day and noticing some really odd behaviors, I realized that…

There's ads here? Oh, that's right I forgot I used Ad blocker, lol! Screws with their revenue, but what can you do!

Yeap. Contrary to popular belief, there are millions of us that are not interested in what's going on between your legs, but what's going on between your eyes. Attraction is not as simply as the physical, despite what the youth of today and American modern culture would have you believe. Don't let your self-doubt ruin a…

I may not know what a stone is, but you've clearly gotten rid of a lot of them! Good job!

Stomach. Everything else is in check and looks damn good IMPO... Gotta reduce the fat overall since I can't spot reduce, lol!

I would say no, but it depends on how tall you are. If you're relatively short, I would actually caution against it and suggest walking instead. However, if you're tall, then by all means go for it. Clear it with your doctor first though, because that is an incredible amount of force you're putting onto your frame…
