Something I find great when deadlifting is to prop the weights up on the lifters for the step bench until you are at 135 lbs. That way you don't have to change your technique much once you put on the 45lbs plates. They are so much higher off the ground it makes a huge difference.

Restaurant salad. WTF? I could have a bacon cheese burger for the calories in some of the salads at Houlihans.

Well lets stay friends and you can coach me through it! :sad:

You should meet my little brother - Second child. Or my dependent cousin - Second child. Or my dependent best friend - Second child. I definitely see this more with younger siblings who have always had other people to rely on.

My son will be an only child. I am 41 now and can't deal with being pregnant again. Honestly it makes me really sad because I imagined 2 or 3. I would love to adopt but we will see how that goes. As far as that emotional attachment to an only child I agree that its kinda bat****. He is only 4 and I already hate that he…

You were simply corrected. You are 26 years old. I find it difficult to believe you have never been corrected before. How do you handle being corrected face to face? Perhaps you are assigning a tone and attitude to the person that corrected you that isn't accurate.

Girl you got this!

I'm guessing you are young and single right? They want you to be skinny to get a man? Don't disrespect your family no matter how angry you get. Just know and understand that its a different culture and they do believe they are being helpful. It's easy for us to say to tell them off, but you still have to live with your…

Actually I was wondering the same thing. When I am running or on the elliptical I am 'working' hard. Sweating my butt off, moving fast. However I don't have to exert nearly as much effort as I do on the stairclimber (stairmill). That thing is a killer, heart rate skyrockets. But again it feels like I am not doing the same…

You forgot to add...You can also leave your Polar FT7, Garmin and Wii at the door since I already have all of those. It's not like those fallen soldiers can use any of those things right? Sickening.

OP honestly what is wrong with you. That charity helps people like me and my son. Who has a father that barely recognizes him due to injuries suffered defending what he thought was right. Hope you and you wife have a blast!

Not really possible on a calorie deficit.

I am an atheist. No wonder I'm fat!

I worked out until the day I went into labor. I have a video of me playing Dance Dance Revolution (pretty intensely) at term. I wanted that baby out. Doc was totally cool with this BTW. And I tracked my calories to gain exactly 35 lbs.

Excellent and informative. OP I am a biochemist as well. However, I gave up trying to explain things to the 'I want to be afraid for the sake of being afraid' crowd quite some time ago. I appreciate your effort. But usually those that post things like 'why take a chance' have no interest in following logic and cannot be…

The 'what do you count as water' crowd tends to be insane enough to entertain me.

I apologize if this has been said already. But you are an adult. You can say penis.

#3 they don't have the balls to fix it or walk away. Deception can never be worked out.

You know that everything that applies to you doesn't necessarily apply to everyone else? For example, sugar does not make me crave sugar.

Yep. I worked out until the day I went into labor. But my doc said this was fine. I think that is your go to person in this situation.

You HAVE to explain what the "white girl overbite" is! Pretty please?

Agreed. I don't care if it a teacup poodle. If it killed a kid put it down.
