just off top o'my head
What is this? Again? You plagiarize again after I specifically told you I do not find it charming? heh
I am done. I will just stick to observing.
Of course, you'll have to reply to this, otherwise you will not seem childish, ha! Here is my reply to your reply in hieroglyphics... :eek:

just don't forget to put a dollar in so window goes back up
now, back to proper training, lifestyle and diet
Right. Key in everything is to get your definitions correct. I suspect that we have very wide ideas as to what "fit" means. To a professional athlete whose very living depends on reducing risk of injury and has to be able to play in 120 degree tennis courts, or -20 weather, or has to have cross training, or has to be able to withstand the rigors of a navy seal, these all require different fitness and training.
Obviously some of you guys are very hard core. To me fit means being able to concentrate at a high level for long periods of time, reducing my need to sleep to six to no more than eight hours a day, to be able to play a game of basketball with buddies at the gym and not poop out, and to "look the part".
Even when I considered myself very fit, one day a brother of a friend that was a competitive cyclist invited me to race him around a track. We went around this track very fast, I lost by a wide margin, but I looked like I was totally unfit. I was using muscles that I simply hadn't used, maybe ever. I then challenged this guy to a 1/4 mile foot race, crushed him, and he didn't even look like an athlete running. I think some of us are gazelles, some are cheetahs, some are gorillas, some are dolphins, etc. We are adapted for some sort of exertion imprinted on our genes from long ago, when your athleticism meant you ate, or didn't eat.
Quote from nitro:
I am assuming that what I am experiencing is normal, i.e., that the more weight you lose the harder it is to lose the same absolute weight week in and week out. This sort of makes sense, we lose weight in % terms not absolute terms.
With that realization, since I wanted to do meet my goals in twelve weeks, I have stepped up the routine to try and continue the target weight in twelve weeks. I am not too worried if I miss it by a week or two, but if I miss it by a month, that would be bad imo.
I was at Cheesecake factory last nigth with friends. At the end of the meal the waitress asks me if I want any dessert. I tell her that I love the chocolate mouse cheesecake, but that it is probably 700 calories. She tells me that I can't think about it that way, that I just have to enjoy it. Every time I want to eat something now, since I know how hard it is to burn x amount of calories, I just decline it if it is outrageous. Sad but true. All the time up until I was about 35, I could eat a horse every day and not worry about it. Not anymoreMy daughter, who comes to work out with me on occasion, mentions that the key is the BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate. Heh, we made getting in shape somewhat fun
nitro, how about trying intermittent fasting and reporting back to ET with the results?
"Intermittent fasting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intermittent fasting (IF) is a pattern of eating that alternates between periods of fasting (usually meaning consumption of water only) and non-fasting. A specific form of IF is alternate day fasting (ADF), which is a 48-hour routine typically composed of a 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour non-fasting period. (ADF is also sometimes referred to as every other day (EOD) fasting, or sometimes every other day feeding (EODF).)
There is some evidence that intermittent fasting may have beneficial effects on the health and longevity of animalsâincluding humansâthat are similar to the effects of caloric restriction (CR). There is currently no consensus as to the degree to which this is simply due to an (often) concomitant overall decrease in calories. (IF and CR are forms of Dietary Restriction (DR), which is sometimes referred to as Dietary Energy Restriction (DER).)
Scientific study of intermittent fasting in rats (and anecdotally in humans) was carried out at least as early as 1943.[1]"
