    +1 I have a pushcart and walk whenever I'm not playing with my lazy friends. My track is about a 7-mile loop. On top of the extra calorie burn, I'm playing for free (no cart fee) and I don't drink when I walk, saving more calories and money.

    What about getting a personal trainer once a week? They'll give you workouts to do on your own the rest of the work and will personalize them to fit your goals.

    I’m down 5 lbs in the first 10 days. I want to lose another 20-25lbs. On past diets I’ve tracked my meals in detail with MyFitnessPal. This time I’m trying to cut a couple bad things and take time to appreciate smart choices, even if it’s a small thing. I have a spreadsheet on my phone where I note if I had alcohol, sweets and worked out each day. It’s a lot easier to manage and seeing a bunch of days in a row without sweets or booze gets me to say no just to keep the streak alive. I’m not tracking it, but I’ve been good about avoiding bread which has probably made the most difference. I even ordered burgers and sandwiches wrapped in lettuce a couple times. Surprisingly not terrible but that isn’t a long term lifestyle change I can make. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You say that, but if you were like me, you would have nearly died of cedar by the turn.

    Checking in here for the first time. I’ve cycled weight loss/gain my whole life. I gained about 20lbs last year and now I’m around my high at 208. I need to get back down to at least 190 to get my clothes fitting well again. Ultimately I’d like to get back down to 175-180 which is about the best I’ve done. I got back into the gym last month but really it’s my diet and portion control that kill me. My self control with food is terrible and my pregnant wife has us eating a lot of pizza and whatbutger. Who am I to deny her?!?? I’m afraid the poor diet is just going to get worse when our girl arrives in February. Since we’re going to be so tired and busy, my plan is to keep the fridge stocked with snap meals. If I could get on that train for a while, it will help immensely. Good luck everyone.

    Epic beat down in the making. This will make 3 of the last 4 years with a Clemson-Bama championship game. Exciting.

    Lots of things led to the loss today, not all on the officials. Missed extra point, terrible punting, poor play calling and Hager’s penalty at the end of the half, lots of penalties (many we deserved), and yes a missed PI on third down. It all added up. A couple of those things go differently and it’s a one possession game at the end with a chance to win. Horns still go to the sugar bowl if bama beats Georgia. Win that and it’s a very strong 2nd year for Herman. Hook ‘em.

    Lol of course a penalty would nullify the kick return TD
  13. drewlaws
    Of course

    Damn it all to hell

    Meltdown at the end of the half here. Poor clock management, terrible punting and Hager being a dumbass again. I can’t wait for him to be gone.

    Definitely good advice. My plan was to let wife’s car do kid duty 95% of the time, but maybe it should be 100% of the time or get something that I don’t care if it gets trashed, like the TLX

    My first kiddo is coming early next year and I will need to replace my e90 6MT 3 series with something more kid-friendly (bigger) that my wife can drive in a pinch (no manuals). Does anyone have any experience with a 958.1 Cayenne Turbo? A 2013-14 Cayenne Turbo is getting strong consideration for around $50k. Am I nuts? Pros: V8, quick, practical, luxurious. Cons: Expensive to maintain, old in-car tech. At various times, I've also thought about a '16+ C63S (concerned about size), '16+ CTS-V (over budget), Macan Turbo (small and not V8) or another SRT Jeep (reputation of poor build quality). Any other ideas? I'm also considering a dull lifeless TLX for $20k and sidelining the fun car thing for a while. What say you surly car fanatics?

    The last thing I sold on eBay was a golf club and something similar happened. A guy messaged me, sometimes multiple times a day, trying to get me to come down on my item. He would make the same offer multiple ways (like $250 with free shipping or $230 with $20 shipping). He would tell me the new model is coming out and no one wanted mine. He basically started to threaten me to sell him the club. I honestly thought it was one of the old shaggy bipolar posters who wrote mind numbing crazy stuff all the time.

    UT_OB1 and GottaB, I'm just the sucker they were looking for because I almost fell into the bidding war trap and they could have gotten my listing. Fortunately, they underestimated my ability to be cheap once someone turns on the oversell. I hate that.

    I wasn’t planning on looking for a new place for a year or two but a property was listed Thursday that really appealed to my wife and I, so we went and checked out the open house Saturday. It showed well and had good traffic but we were the only one to put in an offer this weekend (full price). Apparently another offer was given before it was even listed. We upped our offer by $5k but didn’t get it. Kinda bummed but I didn’t want to get into a bidding war at the top of my price range. Stupid question, but why would they list it for less than the offer they already had on Thursday? Maybe they got the offer after listing but before the open house and I misunderstood. Regardless, it would have been good to be told that they had an over ask offer up front. Waste of my time and worse it got my pregnant wife all attached to the property.
