Yeah, my constant "Teufel Fetus" reference shoulda set his blood on boil by now if he was the real deal (21, out of ONE enlistment does not a PT-god make.) Huh? I mean HUA! Lol. My hubby went to the gay beret side when he signed on as COARNG. It's a "weaning" process for him. He kept making the cashiers cry when he tried…

Lol, I enlisted, so I really didn't have a choice! Now I just hit the treadmill for a quickie warm-up or some HIIT here and there for the good burn. Most of my program is circuit weight training which I really do enjoy. Props to all you runners out there who enjoy it without music! I just wasn't built for it.

EXACTLY. Heck, even the poolee girl knew that.

Can't imagine running without my iPod. All I do is focus on how much I HATE running and it makes it seem much worse, that tree looks that much farther away, time go by that much slower, etc. Did it iPod-free for 6 years in the military & I'm so glad not to have to go back! The only exception: formation runs. There's…

Even wearing a good HRM, I burned 700 calories today and the idea of eating them all back + my regular intake seems repulsive to me. I'm not that hungry and I just can't do it. I even forced myself to eat a little past comfort level today and I came really close to my normal goal intake-wise, but with the exercise…

I just saw it! She was in someone else's friend's list and yep, hot boobie pic showed up. Interesting you can STILL see it even though her account has been deactivated. (AHEM, mods?)

Bump. Somedays I train to the point that just the idea of eating back all my exercise calories seems repulsive. Today was one of those.

A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat in the same way a pound of rocks weighs the same as a pound of feathers. The thing is, that pound of muscle or rocks is going to take up WAY LESS space than a pound of fat or feathers. See? : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/dumbfox/FatvsMuscle.jpg

Mine is 53 upon waking. I take Adderal, so I could be just chilling during the day and it'll be in the 80-95 range. The faster your heart rate recovers after exercise the healthier you are. I hit 182 during a circuit weight training session with my trainer. He had me sit down and within 30 seconds I was down to 133; he…

A toned *kitten* and a WHR under .73. Period.

Hormonal BC is just evil stuff. No, I'm not a pro-life whack job and I certainly do not believe in "oops" children; I use Paraguard. Here's why: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=birth-control-pills-affect-womens-taste

Honestly, just do the best you can to get from wall to wall. The cool thing is, the less efficient you are at something, the more calories you'll burn. Heck, I probably burned TONS of calories just doing doggy-paddle 20 lengths when I started out (ok, I was 4... but SUPER skinny!) If you're more concerned with not looking…

Having run a sex offender registration program IRL, I have a VERY high threshold for what I consider "creepy". I'll let you all know when I see it though.

I like my men like I like my coffee... ...ground up and in the freezer.

Easy. They usually give themselves away. There's some Teufel Fetus out there right now claiming to be an "EX" Marine.

Know what I used to do for a living BEERRUNNER? No *kitten*, I was a Sergeant in the Marines, assigned to an all-male correctional facility and in charge of the sex-offenders at that. I can smell "creeper" a klick away. Because you quoted me, I'm going to need a shower with Comet and a Brillo pad. :P

I think others would sleep better at night if they thought I was a troll. The sad truth is, I...REALLY...just...don't...have...a...filter. It broke sometime in my early 20s. Thankfully that little curse comes with SUPER thick skin ;)

:) -I'm just glad it seems to be working out for you.

OoooOoh. Now I have this overwhelming desire to watch a MANswers marathon. BEST...SHOW...EVER!!!

I'm all for giving genetic blessings and evidence of hard work an appreciative eye in IRL situations (as I discussed in the men are pigs thread), but... If you're guy doesn't already know these girls IRL that he's adding on FB, that's just really kinda creepy/sad/weird/loser behavior. Just straight-up pathetic. LMAO! This…

Figure out what your starting waist to hip ratio was and tell him that as you lose weight, you'll either try to keep it the same or lower it, which would in fact, make you appear EVEN CURVIER! (the latter is more likely to happen) Figure for both your circumferential WHR (take a measuring tape around the smallest part of…

I don't mind either when >I< catch my guy eye-raping the chick who's younger, hotter, better endowed, more exotic, etc. So long as he does it discreetly enough that I'm the only one who notices. Heck, more than half the time I point them out! Lol. We often follow it up with in-depth discussion later comparing…

I'm a former US Marine, so I've been "rewired". I find the majority of women annoying as hell. The only ones I get along with IRL are either active-duty, former active-duty, other women in male-dominated professions and tomboyish lesbians. The rest are too sensitive, not honest enough, insecure, WAAAAY too idealistic when…

^^^THIS. You can download "It's Not You, It's Biology" by J. Quirk in iBooks that sums up many of the Evolutionary Psychology studies quite well. Female humans are the ONLY primates with a tapered waist. Natural & sex selection built us that way in order to exaggerate/"advertise" our bigger hips AND in conjunction with the…

Am I the only USMC vet who's lower lid on one eye is twitching spasticly like the squirrel from Ice Age at the OP's term "EX Marine"? Really, nobody is calling him on this???

I find myself in this position a lot. I just grab my GNC shaker-cup and put in 12oz whole milk, 1 scoop generic chocolate Slim Fast and one scoop chocolate GNC Total Lean 25. 435 calories, 17g Fat/43g Carbs/27g Protein

I weigh in every morning, stark naked, after voiding and before eating or drinking anything. I only log the lowest weight of the week, but if you want to be anal-accurate, you could average your daily weights for the week and log that.

You're the lucky one, don't worry. Only 8% of women actually have an hourglass figure and it's definitely more desirable. You also probably have a lower body fat % than your friend as well. You can do a fairly accurate at home test for body fat here:…

(The formula above gives me a BMR that is only 10 calories higher than MFP's calculator.) I prefer the Katch-McArdle method that takes into account your body composition. You do need to have a RELIABLE body fat measurement though. For example: I'm 156lbs Calipered BF: 19.8% (I use the same trainer each time, 7 point…
