Endless pools - any experiences?
My wife would dearly love to have a pool but we have a very limited amount of space to put one and the slope on our lot would require major retaining wall work for a level location. I've got enough room for an endless pool and she likes the idea because she was a swimmer in high school and mostly wants to do laps for…

Two 5x5 workouts a week?
Hey everyone! Looking for some feedback from you. I am currently in the midst of a 1/2 marathon training program that has me training M, W, Th, Sat with an dedicated rest day for recovery on Sunday. But I'm also ready to start some weight lifting and I'm sold on 5X5. Here's my question, I realize that it won't be as…

Any "Old School" gamers out there?
Some of my weight problems started back in college when we would have pizza and Mountain Dew fueled marathon games of D&D, RoleMaster, Call of Cthulhu, Shadow Run... although I guess I burned at least 5 or 10 calories a night rolling the dice! Our old gaming group has scattered to the four winds, but I really miss it.…

Will lifting change your ring size?
This may be a crazy question but I need to know if I start a lifting routing (thinking about doing strong lifts) will it change my ring size. I've lost 60 lbs and my wedding ring is way too loose.

I dropped my daughter off at summer camp this morning and when she gave me a hug she said, "Daddy, I can finally get my arms all the way around you!" That actually made me cry.

Heartburn
Has anyone else experienced a change in their digestive system? For the last several days my morning coffee has given me heartburn, something that it has never done before. I've always had an iron stomach. The only health change that I've experienced is the 27 lbs I've lost in six weeks. Has anyone else had this happen or…

NSV - Sort of
Last week was spring break for us and we spent it at the beach with some good friends of ours from Sri Lanka. Now, I'm a sucker for indian food and my friends make the BEST! And, we were at the beach and running around doing the tourist thing and eating in seafood restaurants and other nortoriously over-caloric eateries.…
