I came in hoping this was a meet and greet!

Damn Harley riders...

THe last statement is so key. It's NOT just about weight loss, sure that is what peoples "goals" are, but if you are feeling better, have more energy, and lost even a few lbs, then that is winning for sure. Too many people use the scale to measure how they are doing, but only measures weight, nothing internally. Muscle weighs more than fat, most people gain weight if they truly are using weight training, eating, and cardio when going from noting, unless the workouts are strictly geared to losing weight i.e. not using heavy resistance. I love these threads because everyone can easily exchange info, recipies, etc. For me, I make a pasta mix which is uber cheap and rarely get tired of it. Kroger even has whole wheat pasta, 2x fiber pasta, or veggie pasta on sale right now buy 6 and they areo nly 69cents each. Obviously pasta is good forever, so I will be stocking up. I buy the cheapest canned pasta sauce, a box of noodles listed above, and 1lb 90/10, or 93/7 ground beef, maybe add some veggies in sauce, and seasoning, and then crush it after my workouts for lunch. I figured that even with paying full price at Kroger for the beef its less than 2.00 a meal for 3-4 meals depending, or 6-8bucks total. If I go to Costco and get their beefi ts 1.50 a meal and healthy. Then toss in frozen veggies steamed in the microwave, done and done. Easy, cheap, and quick. Oh and get a rice cooker people, as Craig when I made him get one how easy it makes life. Cook all your rice, brown, white, long grain, whatever, in it without doing anything, for a full week +.

TEPCO has made such a mess of this whole situation. I hope the Japanese government nails them to the wall but I have a feeling its going to get swept under the rug. I could see the government trying to save face by not letting the rest of the world know just how bad the situation was and just how botched the cleanup effort has been.

We will have no enlightened conversation here. Only closed minded partisan bickering. Any thought of living within your means will be quickly discounted by both groups of partisans.

I hate the fad shit that claims to drop weight even though you know damn well it was from the eating right and exercise. I don't know how people believe it was the crap they were taking.

Hey everyone. Thank you for the warm welcome. Sorry it took so long to reply. Work has had me stretched pretty thin. I only have one picture currently, due some extensive drama with this car since I bought it a few months ago. The most recent of which is an accident involving some black ice and the back end of a 528i wagon. But here is a pic of my car stuck in the parking lot at work. I found out the hard way that my car is not a Jeep. Lolhttp://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r171/Johnny_Mulhearn/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpseedf42a9.jpg' alt='image_zpseedf42a9.jpg'>

Hello CR Community! My name's Johnny. I'm 27 years old, and I've lived in since 2006. I recently bought a 2007 R56 Mini Cooper S and its my first kind of sporty car, and I'd like to see what I can do to eventually bring a bit more sport out of it. I used to wrench on my old Honda, so I have a general idea of what I'm doing under a hood. I'm also trying to meet new people in the area to do stuff with. All my friends have either moved or already live out of town, and I'm not what you'd call and outgoing person so I use the internet to meet new friends and such. I hope to fit in well around here, providing my intro was decent enough.

No doubt. If I went to the grocery there'd only be Blue Moon, coffee, and meat in the fridge. But if I went to the grocery high as balls, there'd be an entire display rack of Little Debbies and Mike Sells at home in the kitchen

It really works for me because it tracks things in the same orderly manor that my brain works. It keeps me honest. The sleep feature is really a non-issue for me as I usually type in a guesstimate each morning. The calorie feature keeps me from over-indulging, but also allows me to know when I can have a few extra beers or an ice cream treat. What really does it for me is the tracking of my steps and stairs each day. I travel so much that I was getting only 2000-3000 steps per day. Now, I never go to bed without at least 10,000 steps and 10 flights of stairs. I walk/jog/run every morning to get those steps in. I had a three hour layover in Baltimore on Monday....got 12,000 steps walking the terminal while attending conference calls. I can be a bit obsessive, and this fits me quite well. Next step for me is to build more muscle-mass.

Polaris kinda sucks.

That's why it's called the track pipe.
