Here a "Wahooo!" on doing that first 5k run! That "Men Who Iron" group sounds good. "Pump some iron, then do some ironing... burning fat, and making clothes flat."

Don't quote articles about scientific articles, read and quote the actual research that hasn't been repackaged to fit next to the "101 ways to turn your husband into a catatonic caveman" article by the same person who edits the "Dear Ms. Smarmy" and "Who's Wearing What" columns.

I wasn't fat at all, but this was my fattest thing ever. It was for a 50 dollar bet... my roommate dared me to eat an entire can of this: http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/frosting/richandcreamycreamywhitefrosting I ate the whole can (let me tell you, those first 5 spoonfuls are great. the next 30 or so, not so much),…

I go 35/35/30 as far as percentages of Protein/Carbs/Fat, eat to my sedentary TDEE and my deficit is made up of my exercise calories. Fat calories don't make you fat. Too many calories can do that, no matter what they're from :)

You know it's bad when you think she sent you a photo of the Sarlacc pit from Return of the Jedi. "Where's Boba Fett?"

Pull-up bar is a must for a home setup. Nothing puts you in your place quite as fast as trying to crank out some pull-ups. My home gym consists of a flat bench, a wide variety of dumbbells, an Iron Gym pull-up bar that I got cheap at Target (I think), a folding chair, and a yoga mat. My programs tend to be things in the…

Song...stuck in...my head....

How accurate is the workout data you're supplying? Are you eating back your workout calories. Many times, the fault lies in overestimating the calories burned, and underestimated the calories eaten :) Make sure you're drinking enough water, too!

"That looks boring." No, that looks like 500 calories with 70g of protein. "You eat the same thing for lunch every day, that's ridiculous. There's no way I can do that" - says the person who gets the same muffin and giant Starbucks frappucino every single day for breakfast. "I get my exercise by walking at lunchtime" - and…

The mix is actually "facts" and "sarcasm". :)

Gothburger!

That's the plan! Also, I should note that I started keep a spreadsheet of the calories in, burned, and weight lost, so that I can calculate my "true" TDEE over time. So I'd add (pounds lost * 3500) + calories in - calories burned, and divide by the number of days to get my TDEE without the structured exercise. Adding the…

I figured my BMR at 1778, and did the results for "little to no exercise" which meant multiplying by 1.2 to get 2133.6 to maintain my weight. That's what I eat, and I don't eat back any exercise calories. I use a heart rate monitor, and log the results, and whatever exercise I do that day, that's my deficit. I average over…

The only disturbing part is when someone comes into the next stall, has the equivalent of a nuclear meltdown explode out of their posterior, flushes 27 times after using half a roll... ...and then walks out without stopping at the sink to wash their hands.

Indeed. Leftoutofthis 7:11 clearly states "...and he who doth partake of the fruit of the cane shall be smote to ruin if he add to it that of the nut or the cocoa bean." BRB. Heading down to Home Depot to get some fertilizer for my bacon tree.

Yeah, here or there. But usually I wake up before it goes off, no matter what time I set it to. Have you ever gotten into a dance battle?

Congrats on closing in on the final day! I'll be finishing on October 4th, so we're close in start./end times. For me, I'd go with the last block, so you keep some variety on your strength workouts, and then put your runs in on cardio days. I included hiking/walking, so you could do backpack days to get used to the weight…

“When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” - Jacob Riis.

Define "unconventional"... duct tape can be used in infinite ways! I guess it's a yes. Have you ever pushed someone down the stairs for a laugh?

They're supposed to go back to flipping burgers, with a student loan hanging over their head now, duh!

The proof of the truth is how many women want to sit on Santa Claus' lap every year.

NEVER eat past midnight if you have this body type:

ciscosdad - I took a look at the last few days, and it looked normal enough. I'm guessing that your base calorie allowance is 1990 per day. When you exercise, it adds the calories burned to your allowed total, because your base calories are set by what you want your net calories for the day to be. So, 1990 calories net per…

In for quote pyramid.

Analogy time! I used to run track & field races, mostly the mile. I had a team, coaches, as well as friends/family of my own, and of the team who would come out to cheer us on. That was the support group. But, once the gun went off, it was all me. That's what this is... you've got people on the sidelines encouraging, and…

@stormbornkraken - Try the TRON Legacy: R3CONF1GUR3D Soundtrack, it's got a few good remixes on there.

Wear what you want, until the cops start asking questions.
