I'm weird because I'm the guy and I'm the one who wants the third.

I'm a guy and I can tell you honestly that the most attractive thing about a woman is her conifdence. If my wife smiles at me and she feels confident I'm putty in her hands. A great majority of "sexy" is personality. Every man has different preferences as far as body build type and so on. I personaly don't find skinny women (like below size 8) attractive. I know friends who like women that are bony. It varies from person to person and also from day to day sometimes. And from what I can tell women are just the same, they all have different preferences. Trying to nail down what's attractive, pretty, sexy, or whatever is like to trying to get a politician to be honest.

I totally agree I even wrote a full review about the game at associated content if you want you can read about it here. I've reached gold status and my wife has reached diamond status. We really love it, but we are considering looking at the new eactive game that's due out soon.

I know this is a bit old but it's better than starting a new thread...

I found a sample video of an entire 15 minutre cardio session on fitness coach for anyone who's interested in seeing what the work out is like.

Check it out here.

looks interesting

As far as trying to get preggers you should check out fertilityfriend.com it may have some info that's useful to you. And the bath should be warm. Apparently a hot bath will wake you up!

I deal with the same problem and found for me that a couple of things help. If it's a sertonin/melatonin issue you can try walking around outside midday for about 15-30 minutes. That helps set your internal clock.  Eliminate your caffeine by around 4:00 pm. A lot of people say 6:00 but as a fellow imsoniac I know that's not enough. Excercise will jolt your body awake and the earlier you can get to excercise and leave yourself time before bed the better off you are. Melatonin may be an option. It's cheap, over the counter, and helps me a lot. Try eating some Turkey it's got triptophan which also helps you feel or get drousy. Lastly try taking a luke warm bath before bed it can help your body come down from stress.

don't forget the sequel

I learned a while back that you can't trust cc and machinery on calories burned they are more like educated guesses in the dark. I personally use my hrm and calculate burn based on height weight age etc. etc.

As to losing the weight quickly the best thing I know of is throw weights in with your cardio. Use hand and/or ankle weights to vamp up you excercise.

Watch your sodium intake and occasionally take some cranberry pills to flush out any water retention.

If you take your mind off the traditional look around your house. A gallon of liquid weighs around 8lbs. (think paint cans, milk jugs, etc.)

Pick up a large box and put it on a scale. Push-ups pull-ups and squats are great non-equipment cutting and toning techniques. As far as meat goes there's beans, broccoli, and a huge host of other protein rich veggies.

Lifting weights isn't always about bulk. I would love to stay at my current weight (175) and shrink my waist. replacing fat with muscle is always good and makes it easier to lose fat later!

Original Post by caloriecountingme:

that's funny that you interpret the images that way.  i feel like they put "healthy, active" people on the boxes bec those are the ppl that their target audience want to be associated w/.  even if you don't go to the gym or stick to organic foods, maybe you'd like to think you do--so you choose the box of cereal that displays someone jogging w/a bottle of organic juice in their hand.

*Imagines a morbidly obese person buying the cereal in hopes of improving his image.

I've always thought the boxes meant buy this cereal and you too can look like me!!

mre's are one of those bad but good things. We live where hurricane rita hit and the national guard distributed mre's for us civies. I was eating 2 or 3 mre's a day and really packed on the weight! Some one finally pointed out that most mre's are meant to be spread out through a day not as meal, they are also meant for marines hiking distances while wearing lots of gear. Neither of which I was doing

But all the mre's I had posted calories on the bag I just didn't read em! 

what was your diet like?

And how old are you that you need to get down to 115? Using the bmi tool your in a healthy weight if a little on the skinny side Punching in 115 I get this from the bmi tool

Based upon your current Body Mass Index (BMI) of 17.5, you are currently classed as underweight.

A healthy BMI for your gender and age is between 20 and 24 and a reasonable weight loss rate is 0.5-2 pounds a week.

So the question is what is your goal weight or how you look because if it's how you look increase your protein and start weight training it will firm up what you have instead of losing any more.

hmmmm take a protein bar put it in a blender and a banana I love bananas and pour in protein shake mix and add milk, oh and peanut butter. More protein than you can uh use.

Seriously though think canned tuna, lean ground turkey, any other fish, beans (more fiber than protein but hey it works) etc. etc. Mostly suplement with protein shakes. When i've 'ad a shake and I'm still low I scarf a can of tuna whole. No carbs, no fuss.
