    Olympic Star Holley Mangold On "The Biggest Loser"

    Then biggest loser is all about weight loss, not fat loss. Lifting the weights she does, she has got to have a lean body mass of 200+ pounds. That means there is no way for her to be competitive on the show without jeopardizing her Olympic chances. It could take years for her to build up her...

    Any Other BHM's trying to lose weight?

    Since a bunch of folks said they were going to do P90X (or had done it), I'm wondering if you have any tips. I got the package but haven't tried it yet. The "muscle confusion" and "sprint" concepts behind it seem *way* more effective than what I had been doing with my trainer with minimal...

    What's pissing you off today?

    Yes, it is brief. But getting out from under the task of "finishing the thesis" can free both the mind and the spirit. Repeat after me: you are not your work.... The day after I got my doctorate, I boxed up all my books and research, and I haven't looked at them since. Three months later...

    My thoughts on what living in San Francisco in like - long and detailed version

    Years ago, I lived in Oakland and after coming home from work would go to see my girlfriend in San Francisco, traveling over the Bay Bridge. Within a three month span, I encountered: a. A fish truck spilling its load on the San Francisco side. Know how hard it is to drive with frozen cod...

    What keeps you Motivated to Exercise?

    For me, exercise is all about improving my ability to do things I enjoy. For example, I like to bowl, play tennis and walk, so I have worked with a trainer to develop an exercise program oriented towards those activities. I judge the effectiveness of my program by how well I can carry out...

    Reactions to Statins

    Statin cholesterol-reducing meds are all the rage it seems. However, the drug I was on (SIMVASTATIN) has been found to cause nasty side effects including muscle weakness, so I got switched to PRAVASTATIN. After a few months on this one, I have become very tired, lethargic and fuzzy. Then I...

    Back pain

    Had the same experience. Was sleeping on a "sleep number" bed that had gotten out of whack (chord was unplugged, duh). Sleeping on an air mattress or water bed that is underfilled/underinflated is a prescription for pain. Fixing it made quite a bit of difference, literally overnight...

    What kind of Weight Gain Stories do you like?

    I love 'noir' stories with some mystery.. where you don't know here it is going to end up, stories with an element of intrigue. Imagine a BHM story with Sidney Greenstreet (the Fat Man in 'The Maltese Falcon') as the protagonist. Or perhaps a story set during WW II, with a valiant female...

    Help Please of the techno variety

    I'm not in love either with this phone or the carrier (AT&T). Even though I have the PIN set, which should prevent any apps from running before I log in, the iPod app goes on randomly all the time. Researchers have discovered that this is due to a serious security vulnerability that can allow...

    Reunions - Love them or leave them?

    I've been to high school, and various graduate school reunions, and my observation is that whatever feelings I had at the time about the group seem to govern the reunion experience. For example, I went to a very large high school where people came from all over the city, and where we were...

    I lie awake at night worrying about...

    As someone who spent a decade in a Ph.D. program, my advice is to very carefully research the business prospects in your field. The reality is that rewards are *not* proportional to effort or skill. In many fields there is a significant "first mover" advantage -- getting in on the ground floor...

    Stay big/get smaller...keep/lose your man...gals can i get your input on this?

    In a healthy relationship, partners support each other in attaining their goals and dreams. If you need to be smaller to enjoy your life, then a partner who loves you will support you in doing that. So if you approach it that way, there is no way that being smaller can choose you to "lose"...

    Is it wrong to hide?

    You've been up front with your boyfriend about your love of cooking and you've also warned him beforehand that this is likely to lead to him putting on weight. He seems to enjoy your cooking and you haven't forced food on him. So I think things are ok on that score. Where things get...

    Degenerative Discs, Anyone?

    About 5 years ago I had ankle and hip pain that made it difficult to walk, as well as lower back pain. The doctor diagnosed me with degenerate disk disease which he indicated was due to my weight. In addition to telling me to lose a hundred pounds, he prescribed physical therapy. After 8...

    The Syndicate - by Ashblonde (~FFA, ~BHM, Romance)

    Thank you. This story is a wonderful gift. It had me waiting with anticipation at each installment, and left me breathless and teary at the end. I felt like I just went on a roller coaster ride and fell head over heals in love, and was fed to the point of exploding, all at once. It is so...

    The Syndicate - by Ashblonde (~FFA, ~BHM, Romance)

    This story is wonderful. It's got character, plot, sensibility, sexuality. Of course, I would expect nothing less from Asheblonde, but this is shaping up as one of the best she's ever done -- and that's saying a lot. The fact that it has a contemporary setting makes it even more delicious...

    Severe Resp Problems with H1N1

    We've had two fat co-workers who were hospitalized last week with H1N1. Both had severe respiratory problems; with one the problems got so bad that they degenerated into congestive heart failure. If we hadn't gotten him into the ER on Thursday, he'd probably have died. The side effects of...

    Keeping in shape while gaining weight...possible?

    It's very possible to improve fitness measures like strength, flexibility or standing heart rate while gaining weight. I started an exercise program after hitting 275 pounds. I dropped 100 pounds, then gained 30 of it back. Of that, at least 20 pounds is fat (I have the belly to prove...
