Ten things which tell you your getting serious about weight training...

1. Your wife catches you doing a lat spread in the bathroom mirror and claims that you have "serious head problems"
2. You become a magnet for store detectives as you spend up to 20 minutes reading the back of a packet of brown rice.
3. You would rather eat a dead dog than eat another tin of tuna.
4. you have an unhealthey fascination for tupperware containers.
5. Your freinds take great joy in telling you that "all that muscle will turn to fat" when you stop working out.
6. Complete strangers in the gym ask what you eat?...well, i quite like dead dog first thing in the morning.
7. Neighbours complain about "that almighty noise" coming from your protein blender.
8. Your first thoughts in the moring are..."carbs...protein...gym....oh and maybe i'll cut the grass later
9. You feed yourself before the kids
10. your wife claims she preferred you when you were skinny (yeah...right)

goodluck and goodbye from the baymaster :]

1. when you can learn 10 different ways to have an egg.

2. when waking up numerous times in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom has been replaced by a baby crying.

3. when you realize that the pretty pink dumbells aren't really weight training and you start using pure iron.

4. when you've learned to define HIIT.

5. when you can manage to hold six meals a day down and still loo great! (talk about overeaters.. :)

6. when family outings become jogs in town rather than pizza and movie nights

7. when 80% of your wardrobe becomes workout clothes instead of everyday living clothing.

8. when you've learned to love pain all the while your whole life you tried your best to stay away from it. (no pain, no gain)

9. when you plan a weeks worth of protein shakes and supplements while going on a vacation to Las Vegas.

10. and last but not least, when you learn to stop freaking out from the urine discoloration you have never seen in your life and think you are dying....LMAO.. (gotta love those hi energy vitamins!)

As opposed to a top 10 list of some of the semi-negative aspects of weightlifting, I offer some of the positives:

1. Women like feeling your arms, chest, shoulders, etc…
2. At meals, friends and family are always offering you their leftovers since they know of your caloric intake.
3. Your sister complains that you have a bigger cup size.
4. You are sick of the question “How much can you bench?”
5. You hear from armchair experts “You’re too big; I just wanna ‘tone.’”
6. You get to eat LOADS of food in front of other people and still look good, while they eat their leaf of lettuce in a vain and futile attempt to lose weight.
7. Your son/little brother/nephew can say “No. He really IS bigger than your dad!”
8. Friends always ask you to help them move on the days when they’ve got the fridge and the couch to go.
9. Blood-shot eyes, vomiting, and praying for death are all badges of honor after doing squats.
10. Your grocery cashier no longer asks “Sheesh! How many people do you have to feed in your family?” when you buy 4 gallons of milk, a dozen cans of tuna fish, 10 pounds of chicken breasts, 4 pounds of cottage cheese, 5 pounds of rice, etc., etc., every 4 days.

I'll be getting my CSCS this summer and hopefully doing the same. I always see someone that's out of shape and think, "I could get that guy down to 170 in three months," or something reasonably similar.

Mack.....me too. Wow Ive thought I need to start a program for children, teens who are overweight. I was in a private gym and this beautiful young woman came into the gym very overweight. We talked and I ended up taking her through a workout. I had just bought some Muscle Fitness Mens and Womens magazine copies and gave them to her. Oh Lord....is this how fitness instructors are Born :) hehehehe I think really the most wonderful thing about all this humor is that its so true but more than that...the way one feels being in good health is amazing and we just want to share that with anyone who will listen. My first thought after some morning prayers and thank you's for a good life is I HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM NOW. :) Fitness Crazy what a great thing to be crazy about. LOL POWER TO THE PEEPS..okay that just scared me!!! Power...gotta go lift :) Peace Out!

Ok, so I'm not going to do a full 10 point list, but yet another one -

*Your bf gives you protein powder for your birthday!

All our friends thought it was crazy, but I had actually asked for it!
(Before this starts any sort of controversy, this was in addition to a more normal bf-gf bday present too ;o) )

I don't think that people who are overweight are "UNHAPPY". The question is are you happy with the way you are. If not, then there are people here who can help you

lol, hey kirby, I would have taken the protein alone without any other gift, that would have been good enough for me. I guess I am low maintainance though.
