I don't try to look at others and I dress, specifically, not to be looked at. I come in the most ragged gear I can find. I lift super heavy and outside of some deep breaths, I don't make a sound. A woman did put her arms around my waist once, but apparently it was because I was in the way of her curl bar (still unusual, as…

1. Overhead press by far. 2. Deadlift because of a previous pulled muscle in my lower back. I have to be constantly aware of my form so that I don't tweak that thing again.

Lose bodyfat. No matter how much weight you lift with your arms, they will not tone if there is no fat loss coinciding with the addition of lean muscle mass.

Nothing wrong with that. Keep up the good work!

No. I'm trying to be the best ME that I can be. I don't know what my genetics will do and life doesn't come with an autocorrect or photoshop.

Getting winded playing flag football with the kids. I wasn't required to run because I was the quarterback. I was getting winded just standing there... It's been almost a year since then and I've been active ever since.

Finished c25k back last September and am now able to run 10 miles straight. The best thing it did for me was give me the endurance to go the distance in everything else I do. I'm bicycling primarily right now and weight training, but I still get involved in local 5 and 10k races from time to time. I have been able to do a…

Well said guys. I started my wife off with the BAR ONLY on everything. Some of the more taxing lifts I had her repeat with the bar for a couple weeks before adding weight, that's about the only modifications we made.

I haven't made it to the gun show quite yet, but I'm well on my way brother! Let's get it!

Overall weight loss and overall fat loss are not the same thing. Your tummy will shrink with overall fat loss! Good luck!

I'm quite Tan, but I love it! I'm even more tanned than that crazy lady on television!

How about you hold solid for 6 days out of the week and just have a day, once per week, that you eat absolutely anything you want for the entire day (it's what I do). This day I generally eat 2x my BMR, but I digress. Perhaps knowing that you can treat yourself that one day will be enough to help calm the urge throughout…

Starting Strength 5x5. Google it and enjoy your new body!

My biggest turnoff are women who are intimidated by me. I was taught to go through life fearing no man, and you should do the same.

I work out 6 days a week every week. I live an active lifestyle. I generally burn 1000+ calories whenever I do cardio. Why in the world would I kill myself because I went over for one day? The work you put in to "burn it off" isn't worth it in my opinion. Plus, that's great fuel for the next day's workout. I don't feel…

I work in Atlanta, but live about 20 minutes south of Atlanta. I'm often doing 20 - 30 mile bike rides through Decatur into and around stone mountain from time to time. So it's weight training, running, and biking! Add me for support if you need it!

Fantastic! Those are some awesome NSVs for sure, especially being off the medicine! When you love your body, it definitely loves you back!

Look at me. I'm considered Obese according to my BMI. That should give you a good understanding of the type of faith you should place in that number.

I'm sorry, but I have to say something and we don't have to be friends or anything like that, obviously. But, in my opinion, not sharing your diary is for cowards. Sharing your diary adds greater accountability to yourself, not to those around you. In addition, you will be amazed at how many great meal ideas and snack…

Nuts, nuts, and more nuts. Get some raisins in there. Give oatmeal (especially steel cut oats) a gander. They are calorie dense, filled with protein and healthy fats, and are something crunchy that you can munch on throughout the day and between meals. 600 calories is easy with a handful of almonds, pecans, or pistachios!…

Stop dieting. There. Your problem has just been solved. If you are constantly hungry, you're seriously doing something wrong.

1. OPEN UP YOUR DAMN FOOD DIARY 2. GET RID OF THAT DAMN SCALE 3. TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS ONCE PER WEEK 4. DON'T GIVE UP I haven't lost a pound since last November. It is frustrating and disheartening, but I'll never give up because I see the MEASUREMENTS changing. Stop comparing yourself to your friends. It's your journey,…

Never go by what the scale says. Eating less than 1200 calories raises eyebrows, but I think that anyone can tell you that eating 600 calories and less is not the way to lose weight. Ditch the pills because they are masking your body literally eating itself alive. There is no good in losing weight if you're not going to be…

Stop dieting. Make a lifestyle change and commit to it. Sure, a diet will give you temporary results but they will not be sustainable and you will quickly lose whatever gains you make as soon as you stop doing it. Get out of the dieting mindset and you will see your motivation increase in that alone. Stop thinking…

I'm just going to keep it real with you: If you don't care, then you can't possibly hope for someone else to care. What I mean by that is this: Helping others takes energy. Motivating others takes energy. You share in their triumphs and failures. But for those who motivates others, regardless if they fall a thousand times,…

Don't pace yourself to anyone. Be your own man. Set your own goals. Reap the beneifits of your own success. If I tried chasing the numbers of others, I would stay disappointed. That having been said, congratulations on the 3 miles. Your pace was nothing to laugh at either. You're doing a fantastic job and with continuing…

I'm totally going to try this tomorrow. We have a Weight Watchers scale and it's been keeping me at the same weight for MONTHS! No matter how hard I work out. I'm definitely going to give it a go with the extra weight. I'm still going to buy a new scale because I don't like that crap.
