Calling all guitar players
So the young lady with the guitar pick tattoo got me thinking: How many guitar players do we have here? How long have you been playing? What style? How many guitars? What kind? Anything else that occurs to you that I may have missed? Me: Q: How long have you been playing? A: 34 years Q: What style? A: Celtic fingerstyle Q:…

Eating Out
So I take my wife out for lunch yesterday. We went to Olive Garden for soup, salad, and bread sticks. Yeah, I already knew the bread sticks were high in calories. But you add up everything - I had Zuppa Toscana - and the meal was over 1000 calories. YIKES! :noway: That added up quick.

I Still Do
Twenty-four years ago today, my wife and I met at the front of a tiny, small town church in front of friends and family, and we said "I do." Two states, three houses, and four dogs later, I still do. :heart:

100 Push-ups, 200 Sit-ups, 200 Squats....no Chin-ups

New Year, new start
My wife and I got off track over the holidays. We didn't eat a LOT of bad stuff, we just didn't worry so much about calories - or entering/tracking said calories on MFP. We're back, and back on track. Cheers, J&P

Weekends are the hardest
My wife and I don't have much of a problem sticking to the plan during the week, but weekends are rough. In our case, the culprit is something of a social dynamic. Case in point -- this past weekend, we went on an Autumn motorcycle ride with 2 other couples. Along the way, someone points out that there is a "GREAT…

Total Gym - anyone using it?
You know, the machine that Chuck Norris does all the ads for. It looks like it would give you a good workout but it's a bit pricey. Is anyone using it and if so, what are your opinions?

Lost 2 lbs already
My wife (profile: piglet) found this site and we're giving it a go together. I've lost 2 lbs, 13 to go. I get the feeling that there's not a lot of guys here. Cheers, John BTW: In case it matters, piglet is her favorite Disney character. Nothing derogatory.
