  1. It was definitely depressing. At the end of it, he got to go back to living the life he had known, I cant imagine being faced with mounting bills month after month knowing if any large expense came along it would put me in financial turmoil. The desired effect of the show was to convince you to that the minimum wage was far to low to make living. While I pity the poor man, I can’t help but believe that a persons financial situation (In MOST cases) is a product of one's own motivation. It isn’t until one becomes complacent in his own socioeconomic class that he is bound to that disposition. Naive as it may be, I tend to believe that if a person truly desires to achieve more for himself, and raises one's expectations for one's self, that said person can pull himself from the bottom.
  2. I dont have any certifications or such things. I considered that as a potential career path many years ago, but most health/fitness related fields pay next to nothing. I just read a lot.
  3. Go to a body fat calculator and figure up you body fat percentage. [RMR (Resting metabolic rate) X Activity Factor] + Thermic Effect of Food= Maintenance Calorie Intake {[10 x (LBM in lbs) + 500] X Activity Factor} + (TEF) Where RMR = 10 x (LBM in lbs) + 500 And Activity Factors = 1.2-1.3 for Very Light (bed rest) 1.5-1.6 for Light (office work/watching TV) 1.6-1.7 for Moderate (some activity during day) 1.9-2.1 for Heavy (labor type work) TEF (thermic effect of food)= 10-15% X RMR so 150 lbs of lean body mass for a moderately active person = [10 x 150 + 500] X 1.6 + .10(10 x 150 + 500) = 3400 calories If you are cutting you should intake about .85 X your maintence calories or 2890 in the example above. Your protien intake should be around 1.5 grams per lb of lean body mass. For the above example this would be 225g per day. You protien and calories for the day should be split into 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. Each meal should have some protein. Use www.Fitday.com to track EVERY SINGLE THING you eat, at least for a few weeks so you know how to stay within the acceptable caloric intake. If you are going to lose that amount of weight it is going to take DAILY dedication and self control. Rationalizing even one off scheduled "cheat meal" will start the slippery slide back to your old habits. DO schedule a cheat meal every 2 weeks. Be a little free that day (dont go overboard). DO lift heavy weights. The EPOC (Effect Post Oxygen Consumption) is 7 times greater in terms of calories burned than cardio. DO Consistantly do the walking you plan to do. DO take 5-6 Fish oil caps per day. It will help in the breaking up of the Cortisol aka organ fat in you belly. DO avoid sugary foods, immediate glycemic spikes cause an insulun response that WILL make you hungry fast. DO NOT get discouraged if it takes a few weeks to start losing. It is perfectly normal.
  4. Jesus Christ The misinformation in this thread it half deadly. Giving up Breakfast: You’ve got to be kidding me. That is the worst idea ever. Eating breakfast initializes your metabolism after your long fast. You will also be LESS hungry throughout the day as a result. Exercise > Diet: Again, where the hell do you people get this from. Exercise is helpful and will certainly speed up the process, but unless you are currently caloric intake is near maintenance Exercise alone wont cut it. You could lose weight sitting on your couch as long as you ate below a certain calorie amount. Losing/Gaining weight is physiologically one of the easiest things you can do. It's your brain that gets in the way. It is the simple matter of burning more calories than you consume. (The cholo that said 2400 was a lot to burn in a day made me chuckle. Your basal metabolic processes are responsible for burning a majority of your calories per day. Usually this is much more than 2400 per day. ) Cutting calories from your diet is the best way to do so, the extent of the cut determines how rapid you lose the weight (all things being equal. There is something called a leptin response that slows weight loss over time with sever cutting). However, if you starve your body from protein, you will scavenge muscle mass in the process. In other words: Cut the fat (Except Essential fatty acids), cut the sugar, double the protein. My following post will have easy formulas for you to determine your caloric intake.
  5. Id buy it. It runs quite well on my 6600gt/1040x680
  6. Yeah it seems to be fine. It is quite the ruler.
  7. Though... Today it seems to be crashing after a few minutes. I played for about 3 hours straight last night. That is sad.
  8. I played it for a bit last night. It definitely takes a few shots to kill someone. The graphics are very pretty though.
  9. What breed are those? I will likely adopt another puppy to match my above posted one but I havent decided whether to stay with the daschsund.
  10. I should add though, my last serious GF frequented latino dance clubs and fell in with the whole scene (Odd since she was half asian). She ended up meeting a choad there and married him a month after she broke it off with me. So I can see how it could go either way.
  11. I would trust my GF to go to a club or whatever. I go do the dancing without her sometimes as well. In the same measure I wouldnt thrust my denim cock (dane cook reference) upon a girl, I know she wouldnt allow some cholo to do that to her. The sole purpose of going to such clubs isnt always sexual.
  12. He isnt as young as you think. His money is his own. /neutral party.
  13. http://www.iwishiwascool.net/pup3.jpg she's a bit bigger now.
  14. Newegg (I hate their new interface), 1fast400/bulknutrition.
  15. Markus is much more fond of the Human Growth Hormone than steroids alone, thus the excessively destended gut.
  16. I was going to say he is the second whitest black person I know.
  17. Youre just setting yourself up for disappointment. You cant fix other people's problems. If he wants to change, he will. You cant do it for him.
  18. Thanks to those that came out. I wasnt joking when I said "unlimited runs".
  19. I broke down on 670 and 5th late at night with the girlfriend once. I pulled off at the exit and pulled into a parking lot. A CPD pulled up behind me in the lot with his lights on asking me what I was doing in that area. He escorted be back to campus all the while my blown turbo left a huge smoke screen behind.
  20. I did it for a few years. Id rather not do it again ever.
  21. The remaining spots were bought out buy Tym Switzer and Switzer Racing to ensure that the event wont have to be cancelled. He will not be brining that many cars so we do have a few spots available. Game On.
