  • OMG! I swear some folks just troll around looking for things to be offended by. the gluten avenger and the signature critic, Really? Have you two met?

  • To be is to do. To do is to be. So do be do be do.
  • Yes. Diet doesn't mean good for you.
  • Thongs and ten-speeds are half the reason I vacation in key west. The worst so far was me. After watching someone try for about 5 minutes to do a pullup, flopping around like a snagged kipper, I thought I'd offer some help. After introducing myself and finding that he was receptive to advice I showed him how to use a…
  • I'd say grab a trainer to show you the ropes and hit the weights. Not some low weight, i never sweat and can still look cute doing it training like some try to convince the ladies to do but real weight training. It will do wonders. However I would also suggest keeping about 3 days of around 45 minutes of cardio as well if…
  • Not unreasonable at all. Smoking around the kids in not a good thing. Childhood bronchitis, and other more permanent breathing issues are way to common for it to be okay. However a smoker is an addict, and addict mentality can justify all sorts of things. I hope you get it sorted. It's always best for kids to know both…
  • There is also a difference between a fact, and a prejudice. Carcinogens are inhaled via smoke, not the smell of smoke that was once there. Much like burns come from fire, not rained out month old fire pits. Nicotine is absorbed through the mucosa and the lungs while inhaling live smoke. Now if he we having the child chew…
  • There's a difference between smoke, and the smell of smoke. Just smelling like smoke is a horrible smell (didn't really realize that till I quit) but probably less dangerous than the horrible perfume some folks bathe in.
  • If you're saying you don't want him to smoke with her in the room I understand completely. I used to smoke but not in the house by preference and never around my kid. However if you're saying that a house that just "smells like smoke" is going to somehow grow fangs and magically eat her lungs I'd say you're just trying to…
  • Dang you craigslisters. Unfortunately I paid full price for mine. The captains chair is another great feature of the tower. That and ankle weights make for a good ab workout, or dips.
  • Most gyms, and most recruiting offices, have an assisted pullup machine. Most of the elbow popping is probably muscular, it'll build up in time. You can also get the same type of machine at home, power tower with assisted pullup. Beyond that the best bet is to just do them all the time. Set up a pullup bar at home and use…
  • CrossFit I approve.
  • Water is only water. It has nothing to do with fitness or fat. I'd say focus more on getting fit and skip the scale obsession.
  • Give me a brilliant woman with good muscle definition any day. I like fit, not anorexic and regardless of looks if she can't hold an interesting conversation she can't keep my attention.
  • Lunchbox. Does the trick just fine. Granted I cook most of my own food and it has been a little more boring after deciding to get my weight under better control. Still you can make some great stuff, throw it in a lunch box with and ice pack and go to work with far better for you and better tasting food than you'll find in…
  • You seem to be thinking of it as defeating inertia and gravity. However it's the machine you're using to do so that makes the difference. Imagine if you will a beginner exerciser as a slightly rusty machine with tiny gears. those gears have to rotate 10 times and build up more friction to lift a 100 pound object. However…
  • I have b12 melt-aways from GNC that I use now and then when I just can't motivate myself to workout in the morning. They do seem to give more energy without much of a crash. So I suppose indirectly should that energy be used for exercise it may help in weight loss. However so does just working out without them.
  • Days with sausage rolls tend to kill your calorie limit. You never drink anything but water? do you stop entering food after you go over? from days with just breakfast and lunch. Do you just eat bread by itself? It may help if you plan out everything you eat ahead of time (like on the day you shop) and keep it in control.…
  • what he said. if you are making progress, you will be sore. If you're not making progress you're just taking up space.
  • I do four pounds in a morning. I wake up, have two cups of coffee (16oz) drink two bottles of water while working out (32oz) and have a protein shake after my workout (16oz). By the time I get in the shower I'm up four pounds. Not a big deal.
  • Drinking alcohol causes you to loose a massive amount of water, so you get lighter. Mix it with caffeine and it makes weigh in day a good reason to party. For working out, you're body needs the water and will hold on to it while it builds muscle and recovers from the exercise. Think healthy over weight. hit the scale…
  • Smart phone, heart rate monitor, wireless scale for weight, body fat, etc. Masses of data to keep me motivated.
  • I agree however large hungry people tend to be short tempered. While it's true that some people live to be offended and wont let up until you insult them so they can claim their victim card, I honestly believe that the occasional temper flair-up is just as natural a by-product of lifestyle change and weight loss as sweat.…
  • Unfortunately altering the question and applying a more convenient or rehearsed answer does not answer the question of how one caused an item to "weigh" more than another item of the same weight due to its density. However this is not a debate or logic site so I'll withdraw from the conversation.
  • How are you measuring this without gravity? I believe all measurements are done on Earth.
