Jogging Shirtless
Ok all, I have a question for you. I know a lot of people get offended when someone is running shirtless. Other people take offense to people not in shape running shirtless, and others have absolutely no problem with any of it. So here is my question: Suppose a guy like me is running shirtless in the gym. I am in shape,…

Bad News Ladies
Ladies, I have some terrible news. Its going to be hard to take. You might cry a little inside, I know I did. As you all know, I decided to run the Hell Run in Seattle here wearing nothing but some tiny *kitten* lingerie shorts, cowboy boots, and my cowboy hat. It was glorious. I got up on the first obstacle and shook my…

Melt in your mouth Chicken
So I had an idea for fabulous chicken today. It turned out GREAT, so I decided to share my recipe. Just before I headed to the gym, I started this cooking. When I got back home in an hour and took a shower, they were perfectly done! 4 large chicken Breasts, FROZEN 2 tablespoons Olive oil Johnny Salt/Lawreys seasoning salt…

Panicing about hell run...
But not because of the running or obstacles... Its because I made a pledge to overcome my body issues... and so I am running in a costume. I used to look like this, and when I look in the mirror, its still what I see: Now I look like this, but still see myself as fat. I want to shut that fat kid in the mirror down. I made…

Best Date you've ever been on?
Ok people, tell us the best date you've ever been on! RULES: No wedding day dates, no proposal dates. Just dating, what did you enjoy the most. YES, this is shameless trolling for ideas. List the positives of the date, and if there was negatives, list those, and why they weren't a big deal.

Props to Mike
Not to sound like a kissass, but I would totally like to give a shoutout to Mike. Not only did he put together this awesome site, but Running this site can't be easy. Lets face it: With all the drama, whiners, blatant rule violators (me and most of my friends list...) and the over the top judgmental people, this has got to…

Crash N' Burn
Anyone else here ever played Crash N' Burn, or is it just something my friends and I do when we are drunk? Basically, you hit on girls at the bar with the most obscene line you can think of, and try to get shot down the most number of times in the night. You actually LOSE points if you end up taking one home, and the loser…

Ugha... missed goal
So I am pissed with myself. I set a goal to hit 14% BF by Oct 1st... I was WELL on my way to making that goal. Then I got sidetracked. I started drinking again, often. I started eating out again, often. Next thing I know, while I didn't gain any weight... I noticed my lifting weights went down... bad sign. So I measured my…

Ladies: Jacked Trucks or Fast sports cars
Taking a vote, do women like fast cars or jacked up pickup trucks. Of course, we are assuming both owners of said vehicles are young, muscular, honest, have careers, no criminal record, and you get to choose between either of them. So... Trucks or cars?

Am I shallow?
Ok, so I am confused... I like the way voluptuous women look. But I like doing athletic sports and stuff with women that are going to be, obviously, athletic body types. Therefore, if I pick a woman that is voluptuous, does that make me shallow because I am picking her for her looks when I like to do activities with more…

Old Man and Punk Kid
This old guy is sitting on a bus just staring down this young punk rocker with purple and green spiked hair and studs through everything. The old guy keeps staring, and the young punk finally gets uncomfortable and says "WHAT, old man, haven't you ever done anything stupid in your life?" The old guy kind of grimaces and…

Need a New Hairstyle....
So I have a couple of options here. Tom Brady, Long style: Ryan Reynolds medium: Ryan Phillippe short: Adam Levine buzzed: Thoughts? Taking votes here, I am tired of choosing my own hair style. My hair grows pretty much like all these guys, so the look should be similar. Of course... I could stick with the current David…

The Outsider
I have come to the conclusion that if I want to have a serious relationship with a woman, rather than just have mindless sex with a bimbo that I care nothing about, I need to meet a girl on either a fitness site like this, or a REGULAR at the gym. Because otherwise, they don't understand me. They don't understand why I…

Reasonable Goals
I see a lot of people on here that either have no true goal at all, just "Lose weight" or have completely unreasonable goals, like "I am at 160, and I want to lose like 35 lbs before my cruise in 2 months". Let me hit on the first one: If you don't have a set goal, it is SOOOO easy to stop caring. You have to envision what…

My HIIT Training/Interval Training
I've already posted this on my blog, but I keep getting questions about HIIT training. So here I'm gonna post it here. Fairly Recent Research is showing that HIIT training (High Intensity Interval Training) has many of the same cardio benefits as traditional cardio, without eating your upper body muscle mass as badly. This…

Fun night at the bar
Ok, I am bored at work, so I will share a story from awhile back. I went to a bar with some friends, got hammered, and proceeded to act stupid. As usual. So I am flirting with this hottie, who, I might add, is totally into me and getting pretty cozy (She was drunk too) when her boyfriend walks up to me. This guy, I shart…

Judgemental People
There seems to be a pattern on MFP. People are getting all offended about things people are saying. It doesn't have to be even aimed at anyone in particular, it only has to be something that could be construed as "judging" someone. So here's what I have to say about that. Grow some freaking thick skin. Do you really think…

Hangover pics
Ok people, lets see em. I don't care what stage of the weightloss or fitness journey you were at, but I wanna see your drunk and/or hangover pics! Here's one of mine, back when I was fat. This was 8:00 in the morning after drinking an entire bottle of tequila, an entire bottle of Pendleton whiskey, and a 12 pack of beer…

Real life Friends and weightloss
As I get more and more healthy, I am discovered I have less and less in common with my real life friends. Now granted, some of them I only half liked to begin with, but now they are damn near intolerable. Anyone else discovering that having unhealthy friends is kind of a downer, and you really don't want to go hang out at…

The fat kid in the mirror
People keep telling me I look great, and when I look at pictures of myself, I usually can see that I look good. But sometimes (Ok, most the time) I still feel like the fat kid. I still look at myself in the mirror and I see fat rolls at my belly! I never understood anorexic people before. I never understood people with…

Question about drinking...
Its probably been answered before... but I searched briefly and didnt find it. The setup: I am no longer trying to lose weight. At all. In fact, I am trying to bulk some upper body, because my muscular *kitten* legs look weird when the upper body is scrawny. (Hill sprints = Massive legs) I like to drink Tequila. ALOT.…

MFP Calories burned oversight?
So I was doing some analysis, and I think I've discovered an oversight in the way MFP calculates calories burned. Lets say you have a BMR + Daily activities modifier of 2400 calories a day. Meaning, doing your NORMAL day to day activities, you burn 2400 calories. 2400cals / 24 hours in a day = 100 calories burned/hour.…
