StrongLifts 5x5 - cost?
Okay, so I'm looking into StrongLifts 5x5. (I lifted heavy early on in life, so I believe in the approach.) Mehdi's website says he's not selling anything, but there is a gold membership (fee not posted). So, does the membership get you anything beyond the basics of what you need for the program?

Doctor's comment regarding my temples
I saw my doctor Tuesday and mentioned that I want to lose another 10 pounds. He recommended I stop losing weight now because the flesh over my temporal bones is depressed (or indented, if that's clearer), which he said can be an indication that a person is primarily losing muscle now instead of fat. I have never heard nor…

Speech I gave to a group considering WLS
Good evening! Please call me “Phil”. One year ago, I was sitting where you are and wearing these pants (put on size 60 pants) and this belt (put on size 62 belt). [The audience really reacted to the visuals of me standing in those now too huge clothes.] Do I have your attention? I will try to allow a few minutes at the end…

Sleeve scheduled for 11/5/13
So my sleeve was scheduled today for 11/5/13. I've lost 58 pounds total, 18.5 pounds lost in the first week of Optifast, which freaked out the staff at the center. (They called no less than 4 times since my appointment yesterday afternoon.)

Motivation? Really?
SMHO, but I think folks need to take "motivations" out of their fitness/weight loss equations. Or at least think about scaling down the importance they assign to motivations. Unless your motivation is to lose, say, 5 pounds so you can look good in that bikini collecting dust in your drawer, it seems to me that not a few…

Endorphin wasted
I see some postings here about being "endorphin wasted". The endorphin molecule produced by the produced by the body has been proven to be too large to pass through the brain/blood barrier. We don't know for certain, but the "high" you get from exercising is likely to be caused for dopamine, norepinephrine or serotonin. Or…

It's like...
The *Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games* forum... It's like a fish tank with the brains of Caligula and Hugh Hefner swimming around in it. I'm never completely comfortable about sticking my hand in the tank, but Ho Lee Fuk, it sure is fun to tap on the glass. Happy Friday everyone... :bigsmile:

Fitness ball exercise
I'm looking for a regime of abdominal workouts for a fitness ball. Not looking for anything with deep knee bends. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Seems like there are hundreds of exercises and variations on YouTube.

BP too low?
I've been super dizzy, lightheaded and tired today. Just had my BP checked, and it was 105/51, which seems kind of low for a guy my size. I take Toprol XL for high BP, but have not taken it today. For you medical types, does 105/51 seem low for a big guy. I carry a lot of muscle mass.

Winning
For me, losing is winning. Therefore... The more hunger pangs I endure, the more I win. The more I go to bed hungry, the more I win. The more times I go to the gym, the more I win. The more sweat-soaked my shirts are from workouts, the more I win. The more weight I lift, the more I lift it, the more I win. The more time I…

No limitations
